The most versatile of it all is the drum. The best gets you to move. And move you do. When you are tired, you look around and see them dance. And then you know you have been out of action here for a while! That is the Chithirai Festival for you.

The Weight We Carry: Mind Over Matter

It’s not always about the weight. It’s about how we carry it. A heavy object isn’t just physics. The mind plays its part, adding or easing the load. What’s weighing you down today? A worry, a regret, or just a bad day?

Sometimes, the trick isn’t to put it down but to carry it differently. Shift your perspective. Find a new balance. After all, the mind can make even the heaviest burden feel lighter—or unbearable. So, how will you carry your weight today? Lighten up.

You might just surprise yourself.

The Potter’s Quiet Emotion

A mound of clay transforms into pots in hours. Each pot looks identical. But I wonder—does the potter feel the same shaping every one? Is there joy in the rhythm, or is it just routine?

Each curve of the clay carries a trace of his hand, maybe even his mood. A fleeting emotion, frozen in form. What stories would he share if asked about the pots?

Or perhaps, like the clay, he’s shaped by the act of creating—silent, steady, and a little mysterious.

A potter’s world is one of quiet emotion, moulded into shape.

Travel: More Than Just Seeing

Travel does more than take you places—it puts you face to face with your biases. It forces you to notice what you usually ignore. And suddenly, new possibilities appear.

It’s not about ‘just seeing.’ It’s about feeling, learning, and understanding. When you travel with intent, the world becomes richer. You notice details, connect with people, and see life from another angle.

That’s when travel truly keeps you alive—by opening your mind and reshaping the way you see the world.

At the border there are ribbons of several kind. With messages of various hues. One message catches my eye. “One Korea. One dream”. Sabre rattling by launching rockets or rambling from global podiums seem to do little to fervent hopes and fledgling dreams.

Of a different future and a longing for peace and harmony. Thankfully so.

How many umbrellas do you need to keep the one Sun out?
How many colours can each umbrella throw?

How many shapes can emerge in the dance of light and shadow?

How many men & women are part of the dance?
And how many know they are!?! L

Have you thought of the idea of co-holding? The good old Ambassador always stood tall as a surrogate for the powerful bureaucrat OR the taxi driver! A coat of paint made all the difference.

Magic is in the eye of the beholder. We can treat every passing moment as ‘yet another’ or as the ‘most magical’! The moment presents us with the opportunity. The choices are ours to make! Here’s to a super week.

The rolling hills lurk an invitation that is hidden by winding roads and tall trees, Come, they seem to say. It’s an effort to get to a height, but it’s totally worth it. Most heights are worth the climb. Which height are you scaling today?
As a sunset loomed in and a steady breeze ruffled nascent order of a recently cleaned road, it was a treat to watch the plants behave. As they took the hue of the Sun and the direction of the wind. They seem to have a song in their step and dance in their lips. Bend. Dance a bit more. Smile.
