Transformations Thru Creativity
I love gardening. I simply love it. And I love growing roses in my garden. I currently have over 200 of them. When they bloom together in early spring, I feel I am in heaven. Thousands and thousands of happy rosebuds open themselves up to the elements in a display that is beyond words. My…

Honesty, Integrity and Trust….
A few days ago Karin wrote a wonderful blog on trust, that started me thinking about the construction of trust as well. What is trust, do we ever stop to think of what the word actually represents ? I mean what does it contain, beyond the word-symbol ? Trust is a composite feeling that we experience…

Happy Independence Day India
“At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. Vande Mataram!” Independence – The word…

I will have 1 connection for dinner, thank you…!
I recently attended a mid year dinner with a group of colleagues at a nice Chinese restaurant. Round table, great ambiance, the usual small talk, some big talk, marketing issues, and other stuff.

Wild horses couldn’t drag me to a vacation, or a picnic without my camera. Never!!! I’d rather not go if I couldn’t take pictures. And then suddenly around…

The dynamic dance of Non-duality & Separation
For a long time, I have been wanting to write about the dance of duality and non duality that engages us in our everyday life even if we have little awareness of the moves. I had abundant experiences but few words to describe them – perhaps they were not organized into cognition. For an unknown…

The Basic Problem in Anorexia
I felt a bit overwhelmed writing my last blog about Sita, and needed to recharge in a way that would allow the process to unfold at a slower pace, in a more holistic way. The archetype of Sita is such a strong one, and it resonates with almost every women in some shape or form, and…

The Morphed Psyche : Developmental Perspectives on Hate
Hate! Such a strong word, vibrant and alive in its texture, like a crudely cemented floor, so uncomfortable to walk on bare foot. It causes wounds whenever and wherever your feet touch it. What is it? How do we get into it? How is it first created? How is it perpetuated? And what can we…
