220. Your presence

 Feedback 

Excellent ❤️

The journey of rediscovering self-worth and the importance of mindfulness is beautifully depicted. The progression from feeling like a “clown” to embracing self-care and confidence is extremely relatable. The transformative power of focusing on your own well-being before devoting yourself to others is effectively highlighted, and the point is made that self-love is the foundation of real connection.❤️

Keep inking 

Keep inspiring ❤️

As I was scrolling through my phone 

I missed my vibrant presence as was feeling alone 

When I remember my old version evident 

I see people seldom used me as entertainment

I was loud , bubbly and attention seeker 

My presence was jovial and was ardent speaker

With time as I realised I was a clown 

My smiling face turned out frown

It's a long time now but this impacted for sure

I missed my own presence and simplicity pure 

I can't undo what is done and foresee

But I can change the way I see me

For a short walk in society, I generally  pick up same dress type I wear 

Thinking who will see me or my presence even care

But today as I dressed up not for any attention 

But for my self reflection 

I felt my presence to be so broad and beautiful 

I felt confident and the walk seemed fruitful 

Sometimes I do things to be too nice 

It seems buttering as people are wise 

I need not over explain or prove 

But inner extremities at times potrays too good to be true 

Now I do feel what I miss the most is being at present for sure 

As my thoughts keep running either in past of future 

Presence of mind seems simple but is actually tricky and precise 

When mind is accustomed to one minute reel, at times it  can't think wise

I am finding myself and my presence 

Taking some me time to self reflect does makes sense 

Takeaways-

Presence of mind  is the best present 

Forgetting past scenarios and not holding on at present 

My presence is beautiful only that I need to realise this 

Little bit of dressing up is for my own confidence bliss 

only when my glass is full ,to others I can pour 

Same way only when I value my presence and love to core 

I can offer the genuine affection 

consciousness is present in all , staying grounded to values is a essence of true reflection.

✨ Lightly Edited Version (Keeping Your Style Intact)

*Your presence*

 As I was scrolling through my phone,

I missed my vibrant presence — I felt alone.

When I remembered my old, radiant self,

I saw how people used me more for entertainment than help.

I was loud, bubbly, an attention-seeker,

My presence was jovial; I was an ardent speaker.

But with time, I realized I was just the clown —

And my smiling face slowly turned into a frown.

It’s been a while, but the impact stays,

I miss my own presence and those simpler days.

I can't undo what's been done or foretell what’s to be,

But I can change the way I look at me.

For a short walk in society, I often pick

The same old dress, plain and quick —

Thinking, “Who will notice me? Who’d even care?”

But today, I dressed not for them, but with self-care.

I felt my presence — broad and beautiful,

I felt confident; my walk felt fruitful.

Sometimes I act too nice, too kind,

But people are wise — they read the mind.

I need not over-explain or prove,

Yet inner intensity makes it too-good-to-be-true.

What I miss most is being present,

As my mind keeps running — past or future resident.

Presence of mind sounds simple, even cliché,

But when fed on reels, the mind loses its way.

I’m finding myself and reclaiming my grace,

Taking time for me — slowing the pace.

Takeaways:

Presence of mind is the best present.

Letting go of the past and not holding pain in the present.

My presence is beautiful — I just need to see,

Dressing up sometimes builds confidence in me.

Only when my glass is full, can I pour to others —

Just as I must love my own presence like no other.

Only then can I offer affection that's true,

For staying grounded is reflection’s virtue.

218. Caption the image

 My image of bhakth is my soul pure 

The divine is having a conversation from hearts core 

Dear God , I feel very anxious sometime

Scrolling through trivial content is a sign

At times , I become too excited 

That I forget to be far sighted 

I don't realise the consequence

And I jump to climax without passing through sequence 

I feel my mind is cluttered with lack of zeal and focus 

Breathing becomes faster and deep within real emotions press 

My soul seems captured in body which emotions mix

Please help me come out of this ,heal me and fix

Lord Shiv replies 

With love deep down His eyes 

Falling in toxic loop may have become your habit 

You have become a lazy one in story of tortoise and rabbit 

The skills you possess are not anymore used 

The books lying untouched and refused 

The things that you loved once are redundant 

And those mind space is occupied by toxic content 

It' may be  difficult but not impossible to go back to basic 

Refresh the memory and one hobby you pick

Childhood trauma may have lead your nature extremities 

Heal yourself and any hurt do release 

It's ok if you spoke too much or did any stupid act 

You lead by example infact

Next time you have experience how not to repeat same mistake 

Be true to yourself and slowly dismiss anything within you that seems fake  

Have faith in God and do your duty 

Overcoming the challenges is life's beauty!!!

Review 

Poignant ❤️

A truly touching tribute to Kiki, filled with heartfelt memories and deep affection. 

Beautifully captured the special bond you shared and highlighted her unique qualities and the comfort she brought to your life. It's clear she was an extraordinary companion, and her presence will always be cherished.❤️

Keep penning 

Keep rocking

 ❤️My pet Kiki

One of the important family members was my little kitty 

She was one eyed from birth and we named her Kiki 

She was a black cat with golden spots all over her 

She had a lovely aroma that I couldn't get over her 

If I decided on overnight studies for any test

She would come to call me and rest 

She would hug me each time I cried 

Would be part of my gigs and smiles wide

When my parents passed away ,she was there to console me and it was profound 

When I was afraid with power cuts,she would make sure to be around 

she loved biscuit milk , fish , cat food 

She was gentle and always good 

More than human ,things she understood 

She is beyond the reach of shadow and bond 

Has began her new journey beyond 

Dear Kiki , These 13 years with you was beautiful and life felt at ease 

You are always my sweetheart , may your soul rest in peace !!!

Remembering my Father Late Sri Prabhakar Kamath on his 73 rd Birth Anniversary *

Parents are the most precious prize  

They are in peace in Gods paradise

Dear Aanu , you would have been today 73

You are the most handsome man, we all agree

Last year just seem like yesterday we had our hearts gather

I hope this year you and mom get to celebrate in heaven together 

Calling you multiple times a day seemed unfinished 

When your day used to be good , my day felt happy and accomplished 

I appreciate the extent of tolerance you had in your life's tough phase 

You and Amma have absorbed immense pain yet could keep a smile on face

I am proud of you to help people in your capacity completely 

You are instrumental to generate work in many family 

I can either remember you with a smile or for your absence feel sad 

But you have always taught me to raise from worries and walk in pride 

seek your blessings and bow

The things I used to feel irritated, actually is a love

Your "Hi , How are you , fine thank you "in repeat

Your high volume news entire day in your fixed  seat 

Sunday morning DD Rangoli and Mohd. Rafi songs as wishlist 

Each day to have something tasty feast 

The chopping of veggies used to be a perfect show

Clean up of home ,kitchen and watching passerby from window 

Your one liners , happy and frown face

 

Your little party time and dancing at your pace

Your checking out in mirror many times

 

Eating medicines with love and faith to be fine 

Providing us with the best at each phase

 

Blessed to be your child by god's grace 

Please accept the sweet I am made for you with love pure 

you must be humming your favourite line ' Ram naam payasakke, Krishna naam sakkarre' for sure

Once you both were gone my point of view was - The door appear closed lock without key 

But from your shoes, I see this end is beginning of your new journey 

May you be happy in better place and at ease

Happy Birthday dad , wherever you are be at peace !!!

You have given me everything you could

Done your duty very well , and in thick and thin you firmly stood 

You always wished well and advised to have stability at all level 

Grateful to be born as your child , you have raised us well

Just know that I love you so much and only wished you be fine 

Even when I am blessed with any share of goodness 

My wish is you and Amma be a part of it and witness

Ganesh Priya 'our home is build by you both with love , each brick has your essence 

Your children are very grateful to you in every sense

Treating your mistake as small 

And others as if the sky has fall 

You used to say me sorry, each time I helped you or put a bandage 

It's indeed my privilege to do any bit to my parent at any age

214. Krishna's relation with his wives

*Krishna's relation with his wives*

The essence of Krishna's relationships and their significance in Hindu mythology.Lord Krishna's relationships with his wives are a fascinating aspect of Hindu mythology. 

According to various scriptures, including the Bhagavata Purana and the Mahabharata, Krishna had eight principal wives known as the Ashtabharya namely Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati,Kalindi, Mitravinda,Nagnajiti (Satya),Bhadra,Lakshmana.

In addition to these eight principal wives, Krishna also married 16,100 women who were rescued from the demon king Narakasura. These marriages symbolize Krishna's compassion, protection of dharma, and universal love .

 Lord Krishna's relationships with his wives are indeed fascinating. The Ashtabharya (eight principal wives) each represent different virtues and aspects of Krishna's divine nature, while the 16,100 women he married symbolize his compassion and protection of those in need.
