Spring

  Spring is in the air                                                            Photo on Unsplash by Toa Heftiba    Early sprightly spring wants some thrill S napping at heels with winter’s fading chill Nature rollicking between two seasons Time to smile, the Goldilocks weather one of the reasons Branches slowly getting a new life Flowers searching their petals in sun’s light Mild breeze flirting with trees A perfect time to sow some seeds Birds building nests, tuning to new melody Hiding animals emerge, butterflies fluttery Some run to forests to soak in nature’s splendour Where the new beginnings are in full grandeur Flowers and barbecue smells race to fill the air Earth slowly getting dressed up in a multitude of colour Sky bluer and grass greener Take a leaf from nature, inject glow in life, you’re the painter Spring is nature’s rebirth song Lend your voice, sing along Spring brings new joy and a cheerful vibe in our lives. Let’s start afresh with a spring in our step and a song

Sign of the Times

  With the digital landscape evolving, people are acing it and rocking it                                                                Photo by Sam Lion on Pexels We are alive in a world fraught with wars, climate threats, and the looming fear of slowdown. We must consider this a blessing. And to feel alive and kicking, hits differently. Just look at the sign of the times — the roaring and inviting digital culture. A carnival, a business place, action for news and politics, and the list goes on — all rolled into one. If we manage to understand the workings of this world and become a part of it( from a business point of view), we can look at life through a rosy prism. It’s encouraging how people from all walks of life and all age groups are using the digital platform as a soapbox to showcase their passion and talent to reach their audience. An extremely successful and versatile Indian actress of yesteryear, Zeenat Aman recently relaunched herself on Instagram. And voila! She’s nailing

First Snow

 The new snow of the season is always special                                                   Photo by Boris Pavlikovsky on Pexels Pin-drop silence on a wintry night Enough a sign of snowfall in silence By the morning the snowflakes cover the earth The first snow of the season brings joy and mirth Painting the trees and roofs with nature's white brush Everything looks new, lovely, and fresh Shimmering icicles are an added joy For children, they are nature's toy And the sun comes out with a happy face Showering us with warm rays From my window, I see snow and sun in one frame Covering the earth in their drapes Everyone is bundled up and cheerful, the mood is sweet Sipping my steaming coffee, I enjoy the scene To walk on fresh powder, people come out in droves Some are eager to hit and schuss the slopes Shoveling snow is fun and a chore Snowman and snowfall fights in store A new hope, a happy tiding, and my heart glows White and gold this painting rolls

A lot of enthusiasm and incredible energy surrounds us. There is no time better than this to restore the balance in our lives to help lighten the loads we carry. This is what I call “The Magic of Moderation.” Why Moderation is Important? It’s no secret we moderns live in a world of excess. The online world is relentlessly finding more and more space in our daily lives. It is inescapable. Mountains of desires, sky-high expectations, the daily grind, and the whooshing joys — all leave us in a tizzy, torn and tired.

We need to reset for a clear mind                                                   Photo by Rob Wingate on Unsplash Staying in a country home With floor-to-ceiling windows Enjoying the perfumed air wafting inside my room Hidden away on a hill Noise unknown People kind, weather chill The panoramic views Immersed in surreal So many colors, brilliant hues Inside, the place is basic Somewhat rustic Outside a lazy pond, some trees dressed, and some naked Not much for the hedonistic crowd An off-grid place Bur incredibly refreshing and I was wowed That time of the calendar When you say goodbye to the year You want to be free and just wander Enveloped in sunrays, I welcome my morning Surrounded by the rawness of nature A reset- an answer to my longing Whistling a song Savoring the moment I bake a cake, time quietly flowing along
