The First Hint of Dawn

-



There I watched
The brightly glowing ball
Slowly rising
Amid the lush clump of trees

The clouds parted
And a fiery orange streak burst out
A warm ray of sunlight
gently paled down.

The early morning dewdrops scintillated
Sending tiny flashes of light
Like dainty diamonds
Set on the velvety leaves.

And she turned to her son:
Someday you will also rise
To the pinnacle
my child.

You will make
small things shine too
With the light
of your success.

As she held him skywards
He obliterated the sun
and haloed he was
She knew he was sun-kissed!

    A tribute to the might of the Sun which we take for granted. Indeed the Sun is the secret of success if we know how to transmute His energy through Surya Namaskar. The Sun is in us as the Sixth Chakra. And by lighting this chakra "you will also rise to the pinnacle my child". On this note Happy Makar Sankranti.

Ever wondered that people can be compared to rocks? Yes we have them in all sizes and colours! Some people are like the big rocks with a strong base, those are the ones you can lean on when you are at your weakest. They will still stand tall and support you no matter the circumstances. You can shed the weight of your griefs and tears on them. While others are like boulders which are placed to block a pathway. These are the people who won't let you go further and emancipate, they will stay put right there with their orthodox beliefs and no matter what you do they won't melt. They won’t budge an inch from their position and rather drag you down with their toxic magnet. They are the permanent obstacle for both your personality development and success. There is  a handful who are like the rocks used to polish gems. They will criticise you but in a positive way so that you become a better you. They rub against you to bring out the best in you. You might feel some ...

  Gusty winds howled loudly outside while Sonia tossed and turned in bed, trying to weather the storm of emotions churning within her. Her mind drowned in a whirlpool of nostalgia, two years ago, on a similar stormy night, she was on the seventh sky after Ray had professed his love for her. Now the same sky rippled with thunder and lightning. She stood and gazed at her reflection in the mirror, “Maybe I am not as attractive as before,” she whispered, her warm breath condensing on the mirror surface, blurring her reflection.  She wiped it away, while being swept to another memory…tracing hearts on foggy car windows after a steamy love exchange under the monsoon. How she missed those idyllic trysts! *** “Sonia it seems you didn’t sleep a wink!”her friend Sarah quipped, “Don’t tell me you have been stalking Ray again.” “Life is not the same without him. I don’t show interest in doing anything now…we always did every together.” “Come on Sonia ,it’s been eight freaking months after...
