Restlessness in my soul...


Meandering through life
Constantly seeking something
Which has no shape or form
Or even a vague direction

Why is it that the conviction never leaves me
That its nearby within reach
If I could only see through the haze
If only I tried harder to find it

Its as if once I find it
All missing pieces will come together
It’ll give me the goalpost address
I’ll stop meandering then…

Move from being a direction-less stream
To a calm and purposeful river
Who knows there’s an ocean up ahead
Waiting with open arms to welcome her

Welcome her with absolute acceptance
And whatever she brings with her
No judgements, no conditions
Just a warm never-ending embrace saying ‘I missed you!’

‘Where were you my sweetheart?
I’ve been waiting so long…
Without you my vastness is incomplete
And my existness itself – seems wrong’

What will be after I find the direction is so clear
Is it even possible that I can be mistaken?
That there may not be anything up ahead
Except the drudgery of the life I currently lead…

Jindagi ke arth kuch badalte hain is tarah, Jaise samundar ke paas ki rait ki satah, Jab lagta samajh aane lagi hai jindagi, Ek aur lahar aati hai paheli ki tarah, Ab kya karein ham is jindagi se jirah, Mazza aane laga hai humein jeene mein isi tarah...

The day i became a Teacher!

In the often-fiercely competitive and insecure corporate world, very few people make a strong impact for one to acknowledge someone as a teacher. After all - in order to be a good teacher you really do need a good student. Someone with an open enough mind which can absorb the learning and then make it their own. Too many times we focus on the traits needed in a good teacher - maybe if we spent a little time on what makes for a good student, we will be able to push up the learning curve a wee bit more.   To make matters worse, hesitation and ego often comes in the way of actually acknowledging our own roles as both Teachers and Students.   One of my pet peeves at work has been that too often we all rush to blame the new generations joining the corporate world as being bad students. Not as often do we stop and think if the older generation at work (Us of course!) are anywhere close to being the kind of high-quality teachers we had when we were starting off wo...
