Point of Reflection | Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.

Floating

Well, its been a week of relative relatives he he !!

Seriously sometimes I think, I am spoilt. Living in my own island of thoughts and dreams where everything is perfect with all the imperfections that I get used to.

When additional souls are placed in that island, the perfection - imperfection balance sometimes swings and then it is no longer your own island…

The original soul is then forced to adapt and then that soul is no longer genuine colored by the other inhabitants’ form of expression. Subconsciously or consciously the soul does get painted in colors other than its own.. thus losing its identity and becoming something which the soul actually did not plan to.

I think that when we that is me and my partner are happy with the decisions and the mistakes that we have made and will make. Its all a process of learning and exploring our mutual and individual purpose in life.

It does hit a trigger of that tiny ball of insecurity and fear which is there in all of us, when souls who have no idea of where we have been progressing through and make snap judgments of how we have lived our life and where we are going.

Even with the new generation, it is good to allow them to make their own mistakes. Guidance is needed. But if the new kids think they know best since they have so much more awareness than us, then they should go ahead and experience this.

But enough of this rambling.

Am okay to be me and am content in me and us.. and nothing anyone says will disturb that.. it will create ripples but it will settle down again. :)

On a different Note :

An  Englisss poem fwd sent by Rocks.. LOL

Through the jongole I am went
On shooting Tiger I am bent

Boshtaard Tiger has eaten wife
No doubt I will avenge poor darling’s life

Too much quiet, snakes and leeches
But I not fear these sons of beeches

Hearing loud noise I am jumping with start
But noise is coming from damn fool’s heart

Taking care not to be fright
I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sight

Should Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
Then like hero return to native town

Then through trees I am espying one cave
I am telling self - “Bannerjee be brave”

I am now proceeding with too much care
From far I smell this Tiger’s lair

My leg shaking, sweat coming, I start pray
I think I will shoot Tiger some other day

Turning round I am going to flee
But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting Bengalee

He bounding from cave like footballer Pele
I run shouting “Kali Ma tumi kothay gele ”

Through the jongole I am running
With Tiger on my tail closer looming

I am a telling that never in life
I will take risk again for my damn fool wife!!!!!

Well have a good day.. I have a tiny headache… thinking of living on warm green tea..

I leave you with Evanescence - Bring me to life.. :)

Lessons for the day..

Confidence : Having decided that I am not going to make any compromise with my goal.

Absolution : Freeing myself of compromises and standing in my true self no matter the temptation is.

Strength : Standing up to what I am and not what I should be…

Embarrassment : Doing dance aerobics.. with two left feet.. what does the good instructor think..  thank god the rest are the same.. Sheesh..

Contradiction : Herbed Chicken Bun : it is as tasteless as the tasty name.. YUCK !!

Heaven : A day full of self pampering - body massage, manicure, pedicure, scalp massage - totally a must once a month for all.. buhahaha

Responsibility : Not letting myself down NO MATTER WHAT !!

Consolidation : Being satisfied with what I have in hand and the ability to ignore worth two in the bush.

Music : Something my birds love.. and swing to it.. makes my love for it stronger..

Goal : The destination I am all set to drive to…

Ultimate Love : The freedom to be me .. and let you be you..

On a different note :

Am off riding to Yercaud for the 7th Anniversary of our Motorcycle Club..

You all have a great weekend and a good holiday..

Something that I am humming for now..

Nina Simone : My Baby  Just Cares For me ..

Alone or Lonely… I am alone..

When you are alone you are not alone, you are simply lonely - and there is a tremendous difference between loneliness and aloneness. When you are lonely you are thinking of the other, you are missing the other.

Loneliness is a negative state. You are feeling that it would have been better if the other were there - your friend, your wife, your mother, your beloved, your husband. It would have been good if the other were there, but the other is not. Loneliness is absence of the other.

Aloneness is the presence of oneself. Aloneness is very positive. It is a presence, overflowing presence. You are so full of presence that you can fill the whole universe with your presence and there is no need for anybody.

On a different note :

If you like mutton/lamb and the taste of spinach and bell pepper,  and would like to try a light recipe, I have something for you from what I tried last weekend. It was a hit with my family.. :)

So Lamb with Spinach for you from my kitchen..

A speck

  • a tiny tingle
  • a peep
  • a pinhole
  • a peewee
  • a miniscule moment

of a miracle is what I need now…

Warm Onam wishes to all my friends..

and have a great weekend..

Till then I am listening to the winds of change… :)
