214 b version self reflection exercise

 Self Reflection exercise*

1. What am I holding in right now?

Well, it's the anticipation of fruit for the seed I sow

I have at times assumed things and added tail

 When fact is twisted, the truth seems pale

A peer trying hard to dig errors in me just to prove

After having reality check, still being cordial is the right thing to do 

Service line lead ,pointing out as if major fault 

speaking out will seem rude and it's a proven fact 

2. ⁠What do I need, but haven't said out loud?

Well, Seeking validation looks very surface level need

But when comes from right person,seems like a scrumptious feed 

Parents presence and  conversation with them around 

A small corner within me which needs pleasure profound 

3. ⁠When was the last time I felt peace?

Well, it's today when I did my duty with utmost love and ease 

And followed my exercise routine in fresh breeze 

Believing that my conversation are listened and reciprocated in universe

Peace is always in spending time with my spouse

4. ⁠What would I do if I felt 10% braver?

Well,I would not do things as if it's a favour 

I would be strict and upfront to face any taunt 

And shortcomings be turned into my strength and wouldn't hesitate to flaunt 

Confronting anything wrong that happens to me without tear

Believing in myself a little more and fighting fear

5. ⁠Who am I when no one is watching?

 Well, Two faces within me when no one is seeing 

The real me has shade of  manipulative being 

A bit selfish to hoard stuff for my dears petty  

Diverting mind towards toxic ways when unable to face reality 

I understand my vulnerabilities and working on same 

Felt lighter and grateful for this exercise without feeling shame 

Self reflection:-

These prompts definitely gave clarity on thought process

Takeaway is to leave baggages and start fresh  !!!

215- नृत्य प्राथना।। निर्गुण भजन

दिवंगत श्री मंजुनाथ वेंकटरमण कामत जी इस साल अपनी शताब्दी मना रहे होते। इस पर्व पर उनकी पोती प्रियंका की तरफ से एक कोशिश कि उनकी लिखी निर्गुण भजन पब्लिश हो पाए। प्रियंका ने कभी अपनी नानी जी श्रीमती जाह्नवी उर्फ शारदा कामत को नहीं देखा पर एक प्राथना अपनी मां श्रीमती गोमती कामत से सुनकर पुस्तक में लिखा रखा था।कोंकणी भाषा में लिखी यह प्राथना ,हिंदी से मेल खाती हैं । पर जहां जरूरत हो ,हिंदी में अनुवाद किया गया है । इस एंथोलॉजी के मूलक अपने नाना नानी को भाव पूर्ण श्रृद्धांजलि देकर अपनी एक लौटी जमा पूंजी प्रस्तुत करा गया है। पोएटिक पब्लिकेशंस को अनेक आभार की आपके द्वारा उन आत्मा को संतुष्टि दे पा रही हूं जिनका कोई अवशेष अब न रहा। श्री विट्ठल निर्गुण निराकार है और अपनी कृपा दृष्टि हम सब पर बनाए रखे , यही मनोकामना है। श्री विट्ठल,हरि विट्ठल🙏

****

निर्गुण भजन

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

नाम जप में एकाग्र करे तो

नाम तो एक नहीं है

शुभ स्मरणीय अनेक नाम को

एक चित्त में लाना है

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

रूप का चिंता करे नयन में 

रूप रहेगा कैसे

जब वह विश्वाम भरी रहता है

निराकार तुम कैसे

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

एक चित्त में गुण गाने को

अगणित गुणयुत तुम हो

सब गुण कैसे मनन करूं

तुम निर्गुण कहलाते हो

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

सभी नाम में,सभी रूप में

तुम हो सब सदगुन में 

लेकिन जब तक एक चित्त नहीं

एक भी नहीं है मन में

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं

सागर समान चित्त मुझे दो

देख सकू में जिसमें 

सच्चिदानंद का सब गुण रूप को

सभी महामाया में 

किस विध ध्यान करूं

कैसे चित्त एकाग्र करूं।

214- Father Stardust

 *Father : Stardust*

Review 

Excellent ❤️

Beautifully portrayed a deeply touching expression of grief, love, and enduring connection. The central metaphor of the universe as a “magazine” providing updates on departed parents is incredibly creative and offers a unique perspective on maintaining a bond beyond life. The tears as “stardust” and a “reward” for connecting with loved ones is particularly poignant and beautiful. ❤️

Keep writing 

Keep exploring your unique voice❤️

Moon is near though appears far

Sun is my favourite star 

Both in moon and sun I see my parents face 

Their presence in universe helps me overcome the sad phase 

Just as we get magazine on movie stars names star dust 

I hope universe also releases a daily magazine first 

It would contain colorful pages on what my parents are doing each day 

And a column on point of view they convey

There is also a postal address written in the last page of star dust 

And the sitting area is piled with my letters outburst 

They have all the time to read them through and respond 

And one by one they would post article in the magazine which I am very fond 

The star dust also includes a column for their annual leaves pace 

Each of the soul put forth which home they would next grace 

It's decided on our mental state of we are sad or delighted 

They don't come uninvited 

When they come they definitely leave a imprint that last

And upon return they will write down their experience in star dust

My prayers are not confined to closed walls of home 

They are in universe and their presence never makes me feel alone 

At times when I weep 

They caress me over my sleep 

All this when I mention on letter 

God ensures it's a part of the newsletter 

The magazine is two sided and reading it is fun 

I can although access them it needs password to open

Password of honesty, faith and love and honest wishes 

My prayers God do addresses

Special mention of the newsletter gets a price to experience dust of the star 

When I experience tears when remembering parents it means my thoughts reach them so far 

And it's a symbol of my award

Tears through stars dust as reward

Nothing to be worried when I shed tear

It means my dear ones are near by - nothing to fear!!!

213. Gratefulness - Anthology mans life is gift of god

 *Gratefulness* 

Feedback -This heartfelt piece beautifully captures the challenges of balancing work and home life. Your raw honesty and vulnerability make for a compelling read. A great exploration of self-awareness, gratitude, and the importance of self-care. The way you described your routine…and the way you are managing things is a soulful reflection of your mind, the turmoil’s within.

Hybrid work set up is tight schedule 

seldom I get to eat food, my fuel 

I am also a home maker after my job core

To take care of food preparation, cleaning and other chore

After my office I start my duty of home 

Today I was hungry as I had not eaten well in noon 

I was rushing to prepare dinner 

In process ,was getting upset for things minor 

My mood swings were on peak 

I was so upset and didn't want to speak 

I started crying too for no particular reason

Tears is my best buddy irrespective of any season

I understood the first reason why I was cranky

Food on time keeps me sane and happy 

Shifting blame is something is completely wrong 

I had option to eat in noon but I chose to be of office phone 

I am not a little toddler who needs to be taught what is right 

Self love is not just about wearing make up bright 

This life is something I had manifested someday

Today I should be & I am grateful for it each moment everyday 

I at times preach positivity to others

When it comes to me, everything bothers

I observe my resting face is of tension and stress

As if I am holding all worlds problems fresh 

I should chill , smile and let go off things 

Be grateful for this moment and fly free with my imaginary wings 

The life I live is a dream of many; I got this chance 

Always grateful to God for blessing in abundance !!!

Bio 

Poetry is a way of expressing Priyanka's experience and stories.Life is a learning institution and sharing it in the form of write up is a healing process. She dedicates her work to her dear parents.

212. Yoga Day

 The most important aspect of yoga routine is to be regular 

Discipline is a major factor to transform

single step to plural 

I do 15 minutes of yoga which includes precise 

4 suryanamaskar and 4 breathing exercise

I know that the intensity can be increased with time 

But missing one day also is not fine

As it adds to my fat in laziness content 

Breaking the loop and getting back to schedule makes me content

Household chores is also an exercise I believe 

Once things are all sorted , Invaluable is the relief 

I am not perfect in my routine 

But continuously striving and keen !!!

211. Office stories - S unaccounted leaves*

 *Office stories - S unaccounted leaves*

Feedback 

Marvellous ❤️

You’ve captured the frustration of being caught in the middle, especially when someone else’s oversight impacts your workload and reputation. Your commitment to following protocol and prioritizing integrity, even when faced with pressure and cold vibes, is truly commendable.❤️

Keep writing

Keep inspiring ❤️

Review 

Your account highlights a challenging workplace situation where you're caught between managing workload and dealing with a colleague's negligence. Key takeaways include:

1. Clear communication and following protocols are crucial in team management.

2. Assuming others will cover for you without formal approval can lead to issues.

3. Standing firm on integrity and quality work is essential.

Your approach to documenting incidents and maintaining professionalism despite the tension is commendable. Prioritizing work quality and adhering to protocols ensures a smooth workflow.

My team in workplace is of six 

Below issue happened and I was expected to fix 

Let's name my line manager as R

And my colleague SN's manager is Mr. AN at par

There is a team named FRM 

It's lead is Ms.AK who's on leave some

So her back up is SN

And if she is on leave when 

It's me who handle the Department as back up 

I was fine to manage workload and challenges to take up

But SNs line manager AN wasn't aware of her leaves this time 

And he also took his leaves same days thinking it's fine 

I handle his department code

On his absence I was overload

I was back ups, back ups ,back up now 

I actioned on task somehow 

SN although said about her leaves casually during lunch break 

I couldn't exactly process the details to intake 

she didn't even apply her leave through Company portal 

So it didn't route to him to approve it at all 

Now she is issued warning letter for negligence duly

And in response she mentions my name saying she has informed me 

when I was questioned I just said I am a colleague and not her boss 

Why m I dragged in this issue as work would go for toss 

It shouldn't matter if she inform me or not 

The right thing was to inform her line manager on the spot 

And SN was upset that I didn't extend her support

Afterall dragging my name in this issue was not a spot 

People can't assume things,it should have been in writing 

No point in overthinking and with me fighting 

Yet I was cordial with her and she kept giving me cold vibes

Said she has understood me now and I m not her tribe 

She is handling GRCS , and I extend work support in that

One of the code submission has issues fat 

After knowing the erros ,I shouldnt proceed with submitting code 

But she kept persuading me which I couldn't afford 

I asked her to put it in writing so that I can document her response 

Listening to this she was taken aback and tense 

I work for the firm 

 my decision should be firm

If something is wrong 

I shouldn't be doing it under pressure long 

I was cordial but ,following the laid down protocol 

Ultimately quality work with integrity is my Jobs call 

she was taunting me all this while 

I was handling it with a smile 

As staying in same pond I need to be cordial with crocodile 

Than absorbing peoples negativity and make work pile 

I was listening from one ear and leaving from other 

And wrote down this instance so that I am relieved and no longer bother
