Hi maitreyi_parinaama👋,

How are you dealing with 2020, so far?

Working all night, sleeping all day,

Missing those idiots who make me laugh,

Spending the days that never return,

I feel so dumb right now

6 words are not enough

To explain this madness!

Chores, Rationing, Fear!

My daughter, Family, Frustration!

I do hope that you make

Your quarantine insanely productive.

Yours truly

(with a mask)

Of Meditations and Realisations

Being a self proclaimed spiritual enthusiast, it didn’t take me much time to delve into the world of meditation. And by delve, I mean going through various articles, how to’s and videos where people described what meditation meant to them, the various methods of meditation, the miracles they had experienced after a mere day of meditation, its overall health benefits and of course the overall increase in focus and mental clarity, etc. Notice I didn’t tell you anything about me practicing a full on actual meditation? Well that’s because I didn’t, at that time at least. To me, meditation was the most uncomfortable thing anyone could ask me to do (literally) It meant I had to silence the distractions I loved, ignore the distractions I hated and basically focus on something as boring as my breath or worse, a mantra in sanskrit, whose meaning I had no idea about and felt no form of devotion to. I couldn’t day dream of what an amazing meditation expert I would soon become (or even ...

Mother's Day Wish

I am thankful to the eternal mother, For allowing my birth in a human form inside her beautiful creation of this world and universe. I am thankful to the mother of time, For allowing my human birth in this lifetime. I am thankful to the mother of fate, For allowing my human birth in this lifetime into a wonderful family. I am thankful to my human mother of this lifetime, For her unconditional love, acceptance and for bearing the pain of concieving, carrying, birthing and cherishing me. I am thankful to the mother of angels, For their support in manifesting my desires, transmuting my fears, constantly protecting me as much as my karma allows and enlightening me to my awakening and evolution. I am eternally and always thankful and grateful to you all dear mothers. And I humbly wish you a Happy Mother's Day today.♥️ Protect us all with your grace and kindness🙏 Image source:

Breaking Away from Social Conditioning

I have learnt that people asking me questions was more out of curiosity and less out of care. I have learnt that no matter what I reply, they would stick to their judgement of me unless they choose to broaden their perspective. I learnt that what they thought about me doesn't matter What I think about me , however, does matter I don't need to seek approval or approve I need to seek acceptance of me by myself. Nobody is going to think better or worse of me. And the world will move on regardless of whether I follow my dreams or stick to comfort zones. I am not the center of the universe and there is no spotlight on me deeply analyzing my every move. Its all in my overthinking mind Anxiety, perfectionism, being an obsessive control freak, fear of rejection, fear of failure, constant seeking of external validation, is a by product of heavily and unnecessarily processing those opinions of the world, that need to be taken lightly with a pinch of dust. And I a...
