New Year Musings...

-
If there is no joy when the lights come up and no sorrow when the lights are taken down, am I equanimous or things just don't move me anymore?

Just wondering...

New year 2020 is here. I have been asked multiple times by my friends what my resolutions for this year are. I really could not answer the question. The regular good habits that most of us want to manifest like healthy eating, physical activity, etc. are a part of my everyday resolution, its another thing that I fail them many a times! But what is it that I want to manifest this year? What is more for me to do in this world than do what I do everyday? I don't know yet. Lots of ideas, many a inspirations in mind but nothing concrete yet. May be that is my resolution for this year, to get a clarity on what is it that I want to do other than my work and my family duties. 2020 is the beginning of a new decade, the year I enter my 5th decade on Mother Earth. My 4th decade was about figuring out what is happiness, starting firmly on my spiritual journey, having kids and finding joy in my work. And the next one has to be about what more can I do to reach my full potential.

So mote it be!

Power of Cinema

Today, I want to share my love for cinema and how it captures my heart with its authentic emotions and depth of feeling. When I find myself deeply drawn to something, I often ask myself a fundamental question: "What part of me is resonating with this? Which part of me feels complete because of it? And why, if at all, do I feel incomplete without it?" Since childhood, cinema has fascinated me. It transports me to another world, immerses me in its reality, and leaves me changed. Some films create such an impact that I feel unable to return to everyday life. Recently, two movies— The Idea of You and Red, White & Royal Blue , both on Prime Video—had that effect on me. The actor who captivated me was Nicholas Galitzine. His performance left such an impression that it compelled me to write this piece. Galitzine is devilishly handsome, with a chiseled face, expressive eyes, amazing hair, and a smooth, silky voice that he uses beautifully to sing. I watched him play very differe...

To Sid, With Love

-
My Dear Sid, Words can never fully express my love for you, Your beautiful face makes my heart skip a beat. Your eyes, so full of depth and curiosity, Call upon me to drown in their beauty. Who are you, and where have you come from To melt my heart so profoundly? Your lips, so perfectly shaped, How I long to kiss them gently. Your questions, endless and probing, Challenge me; in my mental captivity, I struggle to find the answers. Forgive me, for I falter and feel unworthy of your love. The way you look at me, Your gaze piercing my heart, Reveals that you are extraordinary, In every sense of the word. Your observations of life and truth, Your bravery in questioning my ways, Bring light into my life. I am thankful to the vast universe For blessing me with you, Even though I feel unworthy of such a child. Forgive my anger, My foolish belief that I know better. Mother, take me back, let me learn, To become worthy of this incredible being. I love you, Sid, More than I can ever express. May...

Matthew Perry's Memoir and the Search for Inner Peace

-
Matthew Perry, renowned for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on the beloved TV series "Friends," passed away on October 28th, 2023. As a long-time fan of both the show and his character, the news of his death hit me deeply. While I was aware of his struggles with addiction, I realized I knew little about the man beyond his public persona. That's when I came across his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," available on Audible in his own voice. Hearing his story from him directly lent a profound authenticity to the narrative. The memoir delves into Perry's extraordinary journey to fame and success, particularly his iconic role in "Friends." However, it commences by exploring his early life and the childhood trauma that shaped his psyche. Raised by divorced parents living on opposite sides of North America, he grappled with profound feelings of abandonment, insecurity, fear, and constant anxiety. It's a narrative that resonates wit...
