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)

Inside the Mind of a Missionary Worker

I wrote this poem in an attempt to dive inside the mind of missionary workers and healthcare warriors, who are the need of our pandemic struck world. I was curious to explore how they could genuinely and unconditionally give sisterly and brotherly love to victimized people, who often shame themselves - as in, they hate their own existence and don't love themselves. It's easy to love people who love themselves or at least have learnt to deal with their insecurities and have stopped projecting their fears and complexes onto other people. But how does one love someone who hates themselves? Let's see.

It's the only thing that's gonna set me free and help me fly So how do I love you when you are this mess of s...

Mantra Meditation - A Miraculous Journey

Wow its been a month (almost) from the last time I posted...! I humbly apologize for my inconsistency in posting articles. Jumping into today's article, I'm here to share my experience with Mantra Meditation, which is so much more simpler than it sounds. for representational purposes only The basics, to my knowledge, is that one chooses a mantra/affirmation/prayer/verse that they believe strongly in (or are trying to believe in) and meditate on that by simply focusing all their energy in the process of chanting. The beauty is, this method is so simple and easy, requiring very little effort and can even be done purely by listening to the chanting (though actually chanting it gives a much better feel). Now this chanting can be done by oneself or in a sangha (a community) and I highly recommend community chanting because: 1) It gives you motivation to repeat the process and make it an integral part of your routine 2) It gives you a sense of accountability because you feel obl...

Faulty Teaching

We are taught to "appear" amazing on the outside not to feel amazing on the inside We are taught to hide our flaws and be ashamed of them not to work with our flaws and see their value We are taught to silence and suppress our inner demons not to understand and heal them We are taught to appear aloof and keep it "cool" when expressing and managing our emotions healthily is better We are taught asking for help is weak when help is what we need We are taught that feeling anger, jealousy, lust, resentment is bad when these are all valid feelings carrying a deeper meaning We learn to put on a convincingly happy face when we feel dead and lonely inside We are taught to be vigilant and to trust nobody not to be compassionate with healthy boundaries We are taught to coldly judge and be smartly sarcastic not to warmly understand and lovingly speak...
