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

  Live with Elan…                                                     Photo by Duan Mendes on Unsplash C'mon soak in this cosmic play In its entirety just don't delay Pose, wink, and smize- it's your runway                                .    .   . Life beckons you  to feel alive every day Like a potter who shapes his dough of clay Let your style speak for the mood of the day                                   .    .   . Wear your florals, checks, and swirl away Life is a mosaic of designs full of colorways Design a motif that shows a sunray                                 .    .    . Zhuzh up a style with some glitter spray So rich is the tapestry, dig deep and slay Your personality shall ooze oomph all the way                                  .    .    . The canopy of autumn leaves winks to cozy days Drape it all because nothing will ever just stay Give warm fuzzies and sweep your worries away                                    .     .    . Time has the habit of running aw

                                                         Photo by Duygu Gungor on Unsplash I know how complicated our lives are. Infusing simplicity may seem a far-fetched thing. I used to be in a fiendish hurry from the moment I woke up till I flopped into the bed at night. My waking hours were consumed by a circle of tasks, worries, distractions, and exhaustion to say the very least. Not all the tasks I performed every day were of utmost importance. There were things that needed my attention badly but somehow I was “too busy”. Racing to somehow fill up the pages of my life did not make sense. I wanted to lead a life where I did not get drowned in the noise. Time is precious, we ought to spend it wisely. Basically, at heart, we’re all simple human beings. We get caught up in a web and we lose control of who we are. I needed to regain this control and switch to my simple self. It’s a work in progress. I can walk you through a few of my picks for a simpler and more fulfilling life. Heal
