Strength

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” —Viktor Frankl.                                      The strong creeper.                                                            The creeper chose to grow on the wall .                     Come rain sun or fall.                                                        On the old Castle wall it stood tall.                                    It blossomed and had a ball.                                    Holding on strong when we thought it was frail.           Here on the wall it had found its holy grail                         ( inspired by seeing a frail creeper grow strong on an old Castle wall in Baden) 

Two Roads

Two roads running along side each other .                                 The try to meet but don’t bother . The seem to meet and then depart .                              Running along side each other forever .                                Though to the outside world they seem all shiny and clever.          The rough patches,the crumbling blocks and fine cracks .             All seem smooth .                        but only from a distance and there is some old sooth.            The roads just travel daily .        As if lying there by habit they have nothing to do.                 Stuck to the habit of running along with each other like a glue  

Ganga series

It’s in moments of solitude and reflection that you can actually make sense of the busyness of life and find some patterns in it ( if at all ).                                                    The Ganga                                                                             is it a river or an experience.                                                   A feeling or concrete reality.                                              The river flows daily since ages.                                     Yet leaves thoughts and reflections at all stages .                                                                  To ponder over even when the water has actually flown                                                               And the seeds of a new reality are sown
