When we walk to find 

The purpose of life,

And figure out

That we need to unlearn

What we tried to learn with frivolous effort,

That we were reading and learning it all wrong!

We understood it wrong,

And we learn again just to unlearn!

Do I have regrets?

Maybe yes, maybe no!

I would have not walked what I walked

If I hadn't learnt what I learnt,

Maybe I would have walked differently,

But I don't regret this walk I had,

It wasn't easy, It wouldn't have been easy anyway,

That it wasn't hard either…

There were times I searched for a mentor,

Just to fail miserably,

And tried to learn oneself-

Filled with questions

And barely any answers...

Joining the dots from now to the past!

Mysteries still stay as mysteries,

I wish I could be that child again

That I could explore life

Without predisposition of partial knowledge!


The cosmic secret of me being nothing

And nothing being everything!

Still nothing is known!

The hollowness of wisdom

Grins at me…

Still I'm walking,

Ready to unlearn what I am learning now!

But one thing I'm sure-

I love this life,

And I love being me…

With all hardships,

With all mistakes,

With all shortcomings-

And with all the beauty of-

Imperfections…


When you learn to accept

And love the imperfections,

(occasionally, as I am not enlightened enough to do it always and forever)

In yourself and the other,

Life brings more meanings-

That's beyond the learning 

And unlearning...

Tall man

Life is full of surprises and unknowns But be sure you are safe, Angels send angels for you, And such an angel is this tall man! Me, waiting at the casualty waiting room, My mind constantly telling me, You are going to meet a person - That person is tall. We all have these intuitions And we have ignored it from we started Becoming ‘intelligent’. In the pursuit of that we missed the innocent inner voice that spoke. I looked around, no I didn't see him. Yes, I did see many tall people But they were not this person. You just ‘know’. Before even I met him, I was given his description. And I just knew who walked through the door, I knew his name, I knew it was him! The introvert me* Spoke to him and strangely I was researching on his area of expertise  For no reason… Now I do realise he too is an introvert. But we just knew each other At a different level. But being total strangers we didn't communicate that. He was instrumental in a big decision  And it's culminatio...

Blessed are the meek

What you see is not what it is, It is much beyond. Behind the smoke There is a colourful bloom. At the moment it's smoke, It's anxiety and worry. Just take a moment and believe That the smoke is about to subside And die, The bloom is to be visible. Don't mistake that bloom Just appeared from no where. It was in the process all along, But what you saw was just the smoke! Trust, when you can't see. The magic is in brewing... Rejoice in everything, And joy will dawn upon you. "Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth."

Angels and me

I went through my journey of seeking, I'm still seeking… I have transformed from that me to this. Not that my core changed, But, yes, my perspectives have changed. Somehow, I feel I was reinventing the child in me, Unlearning to see the magic of life! Still, being human we flaw. Then, trusted without seeing, May be I still do, But felt an urge, and I asked My guardian angels to show That they are there watching. I didn't know what I was to see. And yesterday, an intensely cold day, I travelled in winter clothes, Huge coat, my knit hat and woollen gloves. While in bus I kept all these extra clothes aside. As I was to disembark, I wore all those back. As I was getting out, I realised  I didn't wear gloves. I went back to my seat. No, it wasn't there. I checked my bag, my pockets, the coat, No! I liked those gloves. I felt sad and a bit surprised  to not to find it. I went up the hill, my usual trail. Did my usual chores at work And even told my friend that I missed my glo...
