EMBRACE THE FLOW

 

EMBRACE THE FLOW

 This is a truth that grounds the soul 

A philosophy that makes us whole

To take love in, wherever it grows

And let its warm current freely flow

 

From friends who stand through thick and thin

From family where our roots sink in

From passions that set our hearts ablaze

Or quiet pride in life’s own ways

 

Each drop of love, no matter where it starts

Fills up our cup and mends our heart

It builds us up with joy so bright

And gives us strength to stand and fight

 

For when we open wide our door

To love that flows from every shore

We grow in grace, we learn to bend

And find the resilience we need to mend

 

It turns the ordinary into gold

Makes stories worth being told

Each moment touched with care and grace

Becomes a warm and lasting space

 

So let love flow through every part

Awaken joy within your heart

This simple way to walk through life

Will carry you through storm and light

MY GLOW IS MINE

 ✨ MY GLOW IS MINE

You talk about filters on all of my clips,

Like I’m hiding behind edited pics.

But here’s the truth; simple and clear,

No filter can create what doesn’t live here.

It can smooth the skin, brighten the face,

But it cannot give a soul its grace.

Because real beauty doesn’t begin outside,

It lives in the heart you choose to guide.

In a mind at peace, in a spirit that’s kind,

In the strength to leave draining energy behind.

If your soul is heavy, it always shows,

No matter how perfect the picture glows.

But when your heart is clean, your intentions pure,

There’s a light in you that feels so sure.

It shows in your smile, your words, your way,

In the calm you carry every day.

No filter can build it, no edit can fake,

It’s a glow from within that nothing can shake.

So say what you want, I won’t pretend

My beauty is real, it comes from within.

Because when your soul is pure… you glow. ✨

मैत्रीचा दीप तू…

An ode to my best friend Rahul on his birthday on 1st December 2025. I attempted to write in Marathi with help from the internet and my husband. The thoughts, words & feelings are all mine with some help in translation. It was well appreciated by Rahul 🙏

 मैत्रीचा दीप तू…🪔

जीवनाच्या वाटेवर

कधी ऊन–सावली🏖🏝, कधी धुक्याची चादर,🌁

कधी वेदनेची धार, कधी आनंदाची 😃किनार…

त्या प्रत्येक वळणावर

एक हात नेहमी माझ्या खांद्यावर, तो तू.👫

तू मित्र, तू तत्वज्ञ,

तू शब्दांमधला अर्थ,

तू शांततेतलं धीर,

आणि अंधारातली प्रकाशरेषा.🌃

वादळांच्या काळात🧖

मी कोसळले तरी

तुझ्या एका शब्दाने

छातीतील भीती विरघळली,

आणि पुन्हा चालायला पायांना दिशा मिळाली.👣

तू केवळ मित्र नाहीस,

तू माझ्या विचारांच्या शेतात

पहिल्या पावसासारखा उतरतोस

मनातल्या धुळीला शांत करत,🧘‍♀️

गोंधळलेल्या प्रश्नांना अर्थ देत.🤹‍♂️

आज तुझ्या वाढदिवशी

मनापासून एकच इच्छा

तुझं आयुष्य तितकंच सुंदर असावं

जितकं तुझं मन आहे,💕

आणि तितकंच शांत

जितकं तू माझ्या आयुष्यात घेऊन आलास.

आज तुझ्या वाढदिवशी

एकच प्रार्थना🙏🏻

जशी तुझी साथ माझ्या आयुष्यात

एक वरदान ठरली,

तशीच तुझ्या आयुष्यातही

प्रत्येक दिवस देवो नवी उर्जा, नवा आनंद,😊

आणि तुझ्या मोठ्या मनाला

मोठं आकाशही लहान वाटावं.🙏🏻

माझ्या मित्रा, मार्गदर्शका, हृदयाच्या आधारस्तंभा—

जन्मदिनाच्या अनंत शुभेच्छा.

तू असलास म्हणून

हा प्रवास सुंदर आहे…👌

आणि माझं मन आज

कृतज्ञतेने ओलं होतं आहे.🙏🏻🥺

जन्मदिनाच्या खूप खूप शुभेच्छा,

माझ्या जीवनप्रवासातील

अमूल्य सहप्रवासी👫— माझ्या जिवलग मित्रा राहुल🫂

Peace belongs to you

☮PEACE BELONGS TO YOU

We spend our days

polishing our words,

straightening our posture,

editing ourselves

for an imagined audience.

But the ones we try to impress

are only a handful

some who love us regardless,

some who judge us no matter what.

And beyond them

there stretches a vast sea

of silent faces,

neither for us nor against us,

simply passing by.

Yet we burn ourselves

for the warmth of a few opinions

while ignoring

the cool stillness

of the indifferent many.

Let them watch, or not.

Let them praise, or not.

Their gaze is theirs

our peace is ours.🙏

To My Hardworking Husband

To My Hardworking Husband

Each morning with the sunrise, you rise and face the day,

With strength, with love, with courage guiding your way.

Through hours long and weary, your spirit stays so true,

Each selfless act you give is love in all you do.

Your hands may bear the marks of work, both strong and kind,

A symbol of devotion, of heart and soul combined.

You’ve built for us a home, a haven safe and warm,

A shelter filled with love that weathers every storm.

I’m proud of you, my love, your courage shines so bright,

You lift me when I falter, you are my steady light.

I trust you with my dreams, my soul, my heart’s embrace,

Forever grateful, blessed by your endless grace.

And every day I choose you, as you have chosen too,

My husband, my protector—my love, my life, it’s you.
