It’s never about the weight. It’s always about the way we carry it.

It’s never about the work. It’s always about the ‘why’ of the work.

It’s never about the grand sights. It’s always about the story behind the sight

It’s never about grand things. It’s about discovering grand meaning in simple joys.

That’s where real happiness and real joy is. Ensconced and precious. To find it means to see it and let it be.

Tell me, how blessed are you?

Travel is a calling.
It doesn’t have anything to do with comforts. Often times, it goes without it. But rooted in the calling is a spirit of adventure. An undying curiosity of what could be behind the obvious.
To sit down and talk without looking into the watch. Or worry about what will happen tomorrow.
To travel is to discover. To travel is to see the story in the bark of a tree. Or in the sprint of a rodent. Sometimes even what seems to be languorous routines of very common people.
Those that travel are truly blessed. For they often see what the best movies of the world try hard to bring alive : Life in its true variety and splendour.
So, tell me, how blessed are you?

Raj Ghat in New Delhi, is nothing more than a plank. If you see it that way.
Yet you have millions of people visiting the place. It’s the memorial of THE Mahatma, you see.

The place reeks simplicity. With an eternal flame serving as the only far coat of luxury.
You think of the man and you realise a few things.
You grow tall with your deeds. With your lifestyle. With your message.
And then when you add love to the equation, you continue to stand tall. Long after you lay down.

The girls played well!
We were at the garden. The daughter and her friends. And me. Tasked with minding the girls.
Every such task I lap up with energy. For it teaches me the journeys that I have gone through and an opportunity to gawk at the magic of creation.
Amidst the games we played, the most enjoyed one was called “Yellow Flowers”. It had no rules and no boundaries. Other than running about and picking yellow flowers.

The morning reminded me that it takes very little to be happy. A child like imagination and curiosity will get us all there.
