I travel

I move...I float..I travel

Sipping each moment, living each memory

I groove, I gloat and I travel

I travel looking for me

I travel searching for my story

I am lost in the sea, I am found in the sea

World my home, roads my bed

Faces my book, chats my bread

I dance, I skip and I travel

So many faces, so many stories

So many wins and so many glories

So many masks, so many veils

With hidden tears and unspoken tales

I travel scathing through tales and living through wails

I cry, I smile and I travel

Bridges to cross, waters to swim

Skies to fly, songs to sing

Music to soak up, Nature to confine

Where I am in this beauty?

What is my story?

I am scattered all over the world

I am born with each smile

I die with each cry

I dance in their dance

I float in their hope

I live through their lives

And I travel through their stories

Sipping each moment, living each memory

I groove, I gloat and I travel

PADE Day 2 "Books"

Welcome to Day 2 of PADE. Thank you for the warm welcome on Day 1.

The theme for today is “Books”

Here is my interpretation of the theme.

This is a photograph of “Bhagwat geeta”. It was gifted to me 9 years back by my mother when I was moving out of the house. She handed it to me and told me

“"nainam chindanti shastrani
nainam dahati pavakah
na chainam kledayanty apo
na sosayati marutah"

(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 23) 

"Sri Krishna said: The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind."

She passed on a valuable lesson, to never change your soul, your core, your values. I held it close to my heart and promised her to always remain true to my heart, true to myself. Since then I have read it so many times..have read so many verses and the surprising thing is...each verse can be interpreted in so many different ways. In a way it has answers to all the questions.

We look forward to visiting you all and seeing your interpretation of the theme! We will be announcing the "Shutterbug of the day" for Alone very shortly.

Theme for tomorrow is "Candles"
