A bunch of flies were the source of the trouble. A violent swat with the tail and then a furious shake of the head and the horns. And then moments of peace descend on the road. The horns offer a new frame within the frame.

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.

Michael Jordan famously said, “Success doesn’t stop when you get there’. Infact, the real test of success is to see what happens when you get there. Your old associations, values, outlook? What has changed and why? And the next question, what next?

As a new crimson lights a fading night every blade of grass seems to jostle for a better view. The breeze and the birds sing a fresh tune. They ask, ‘so how are you today’?, In teasing invitation.
Thats a good way to begin the day.

I spotted that on the Berlin Wall! What remains of the wall, that is. It spoke to me of restless energy. Of a capacity to imagine a future that is different from the present.
To me that is central to progress and change. To see the Youth around the world, walking tall with fearless energy fills me with hope for the future. ‘Youth’ is a state of mind.

Where we stand depends on where we sit! The stances that we take, the identity we craft for ourselves and dispense for others, depends on what sits in our mind.
Our minds are expensive real estate. Perhaps the most expensive of all real estate in the world.
Let’s take care of what thoughts we let in as tenants. Because, those are the thoughts that we will sit on.
Besides what sits in us will also determine what stands we take.
We learn from history that we don’t learn much from history. I read that somewhere and it stuck to my mind.
At the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, erstwhile army gear and flags of nations become props for photo ops for visitors.
For a small fee of course. In battle, people pay with their lives, to defend the flag, which is a different matter altogether.
Amongst other thoughts it struck me that it is part of identity, isn’t it?
If that is so, what defines us, automatically excludes a lot more.
Well, what defines you? What else could you possibly become?
What are the borders in your mind that you seek to overcome?
What are the borders in your mind that you don’t even know, exist?

What are you working on? And how are you working on whatever you are working on?
The Albert Victor Bridge in Madurai was built in 1886 and was supposed to last a 100 years! It’s still standing. Being of value and use to the day. Long after the engineers went back and the river ran dry.
Good work solves problems. Great work solves problems, through time as well. The option to do both exists all the time. The choices are ours to make.
