I know nothing but to dream...


When the life woven in streaks of dreams
craft patterns blending colors for tomorrow,
my memories from the past melts
along with the mist, past my faded vision.

My thoughts, like the waves that erase foot prints
never stop caressing my mind, to hold the bloom for ever.
My heart, like the reflections on dew drops
never stop following light, kindling the flare within

Like a lone child building the castle on the shore
far from the tide and the lingering wind,
hoping the night will drop its jewels over
I sit waiting in the shade left by the wise.


and ......


When I see the moon in full glory

Making mystic shadows on the flower buds eager to bloom

And the leaves start to stir the air making breeze that loom

To kiss me and hug me with its amorous wings

Slipping me in to a delusion, If I am for certain or in a dream

Happy New Year message...

A New Year message...
Rowena Kincaid was a true fighter and a brave woman who had terminal cancer and lived on a “borrowed time”. She was expected to live only few months and have survived more than a year that too with an attitude that no fear or death could beat. She showed us what it's like knowing one only have months left to live. She raised awareness about the diversity of terminal diseases and about how people live with them day-to-day. In fact in her own words“You pass people in the street and would never know anything was wrong. But behind the surface, there’s hardship and heartache and laughter and life. That is what I want to show the world.”
What was really amazing was a letter she wrote to be read at her funeral. It is indeed a true gift that she gave us all before passing away in September 2016. While we are getting ready for a new year, I am sharing with you an excerpts from her message

A list of the life lessons:
  • Be forever kind to yourself. Know your body and listen to your gut instincts at all times.
  • Follow what it tells you and have faith in what you feel from it, it's there to protect you.
  • Acknowledge your weaknesses, as to do so is also a strength. To fight them or focus on them is a waste of time. So concentrate on the positives, then more positivity and strength will come your way.
  • Remember a problem is only as big as you make it, no matter how bad it seems there are always solutions, and can always be overcome. It will only last as long as you allow it to.
  • You can do what ever you dream. Don't stop yourself from living it, as it will only be you that does - You are the boss of your life, you have more control than you realize.
  • Slow down sometimes and look around. Life does move fast and time is not your friend.
  • Make time for the small things, the things we take for granted, as you will be surprised how good that feels. Do that thing you've always wanted to do, why wait?
  • Love, but don't fall in love with the idea of love.
  • Everyone you meet in your life will teach you something, whether they are in it for a short time, or forever. What they teach you, in time, you will see is a gift.
  • Always and never forget; to believe in yourself.
I wish you all a Happy New
Another year is in our memory. Let us welcome the new year, another chance to follow our dreams and be happy.
Happy New Year!

Taking Risk Brings Opportunities

Two things I thought would never happen in my life are Painting and Singing in public. Though I will never venture risking myself with the latter, I attempted painting with the persuasion from my artist Sister-in-law. I had the option to pass it or face it, but I am glad I took the challenge. I always worried my straight lines were crooked and circles where hardly even close to an ellipse. While I was in middle school, I could never draw the map of India better than a cashew fruit with nut hung upside down.


Life brings opportunities; we have two choices, either shy away or follow our guts to conquer the fear of failure. Memory is designed to erase a thousand failures with one success, and every success follows our footsteps pushing us to do more.
