Echoes of Longing

In shadows deep, where moonlight fades,

Desperation lingers, in silent cascades.

Heartbeats echo in the night's embrace,

Longing for your presence, in this empty space.

Each breath a whisper, a plea untold,

Yearning for your touch, so pure, so bold.

In every star that twinkles above,

I see reflections of our boundless love.

Like a flower reaching for the sun's gentle kiss,

I ache for you, in moments of bliss.

In the vastness of time, in the depths of sea,

I'm lost without you, longing to be free.

Let your love be my guiding light,

Illuminate my path through the darkest night.

For without you, my world's a void,

Aching, yearning to be filled and buoyed.

So hear my cries, my love, my heart's decree,

Come back to me, and set my spirit free.

For in your arms, I find my home,

In your love, I'm never alone.

Embracing Nature and Star Gazing

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, my husband and I yearned for a brief respite from the chaos. After much contemplation, we decided to embark on a journey to Pushkar. Rajasthan's charm had captivated me time and again, and Pushkar, with its mystique and allure, was the perfect destination.

Our quest for a serene retreat led us to a lavish accommodation nestled amidst gooseberry farms. Surrounded by the bountiful gifts of nature, we were blessed with the opportunity to reconnect with the Earth in a profound way. The melodious tunes of birds, the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers, and the awe-inspiring vistas of sunrise and sunset painted a canvas of serenity around us.

What truly ignited my soul, however, was the chance to indulge in one of my deepest passions—star gazing. Ever since my childhood, I had been enamored with the cosmos, with a fervent love for planets and stars. Here, beneath the expansive, velvet cloak of the night sky, I found myself opening a timeless storybook of the universe.

As I gazed upwards, I couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of our solar system. It was like having a front-row seat to a captivating cosmic spectacle. Our solar system is a dynamic neighborhood, a family of celestial objects held together by the gravitational pull of our radiant Sun.

At the heart of it all, the Sun, a colossal ball of hydrogen and helium, bathed us in its warmth and light, setting the stage for the mesmerizing dance of celestial bodies. Orbiting this brilliant star are eight major planets, each with its own distinct personality and features.

Jupiter, the giant guardian; Saturn, the ringed wonder; Mercury, the swift messenger; Venus, the scorching beauty; Earth, our nurturing home; Mars, the red wanderer; Uranus, the icy enigma; and Neptune, the distant mystery.

Lying there, enveloped by the gentle embrace of nature, I felt a profound connection to the universe. It was a reminder that we are but a small part of this vast, intricate tapestry of stars and planets. 

As the night unfolded its secrets, and the stars whispered their ancient stories, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the serendipity that had brought us to this enchanting corner of the world.

One who keeps the world running - Mother

It's Mother's day today. God's greatest blessings and greatest creation - Mother. Mother who nourishes the baby inside her for 9 months and every day after the kid comes into this world. Life is challenging. Mothers need to look after their kids, be with them, support their needs and at the same time manage the ever demanding professional lives, manage the home and yet expected to be at their best.

My instinctive thought today is to be kind and loving to the Mothers.. They may never complain, they may look in control of everything but my dear folks it's not always easy to strike a balance. Accept the flaws, the little misses, sometimes mood swings too as they are trying hard, trust me.

My love and blessings to all the endearing, kind, compassionate, protective, caring, intuitive and mindful mothers. Salute to all the mothers.

Happy Mother's Day ❤️

From the million of stars which shine in the sky,
You are the one who captivated my eyes !

From the glitter in your eyes to your little smile,
You pull the cord deep inside !

From the unsaid to the said,
You built an association which is most coveted !

From holding the hands to being with in each other,
You made me realize that heaven is near !

From the longed love to the trifle fights,
You made the bond stronger than knight !

From handling my innocence to handling the insane me,
You proved me "You" are the one for me !

The inner beauty

Sea carries so many precious gems and pearls inside it yet all it takes is one wave to give it all away to let the humans cherish it. It's so precious from inside and so giving and it makes it such a divine beauty. Perhaps that's how we humans need to be full of kindness and love and it will naturally reflect on our peripherals. 

To the crests and the troughs

Ocean waves engulf all the sand when they hit the coast, yet leave it all behind while returning. So is the true love it engulfs your soul deeply, yet it can't be with you forever. You are together yet apart. Just like the heart beats, it also experiences a break of a second before one beat follows the next so is the love of sand and sea, mortals and souls

Unwinding the thoughts

Sitting at the seashore I wonder how much beauty this earth has to offer, trees, mountains, oceans and the deep sky yet it remains uncherished by the human souls busy in their lives.

God created this earth full of rainbows, sunrises and sunsets for us to relish yet hid it's key in our thoughts. Look at the God's play that often we find the key to the storehouse of this natural happiness and then lose it again. Perhaps, this is his way of telling us "It is so simple to be happy but so difficult to be simple"
