Serendib Travel Diaries and reasons you should take this trip

Image
" you don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings ... serendipitously." (John Barth, The Last Voyage of  Somebody the Sailor) English author Horace Walpole for coined the word  serendipity  on an old name for Sri Lanka,  Serendip Everytime you travel a land beckons you.No travels are random .. every time you travel it is that pact your soul has with that land that you are just honoring. Not knowing why i just packed my bags in mere 2 hours after a crazy week at work And just headed to the airport. This was the first time I went with no  research on the place..without knowing what the itinerary was nor having any expectations of the place or the trip other than ofcourse meeting and spending time with my family based in on other side of the world . I was may be just looking for a break. This year had started on a not very good note health wise. And on top of it I was overw...

Why Fit in if you can stand out?

Our Vibration is unique and it is what makes us - Why fit in when you can stand out? We have to respect the fact that each of us is an unique individual and capable of different things. Before we judge that someone is not good enough understand that they might have different talents and aptitudes which the world may not even be aware of. It is really difficult for creatives to survive in a world that is full of left brained, over practical ,logical persons. However the moment  you look at everything with an open eye you ll realise each has its own skill . This applies to Adults as much as it is to Children. Many times when adults are not doing well at work inspite of hard work ,they get into self blame and think they aren’t good enough. The fact could be they are capable of doing better in a profession which suits their vibrations. They just have to discover what they are. Remember it is never too late to start again You are enough You are as good as anyone else Be yoursel...

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.” — Buddha

I was sitting at the Bandaranaike Airport in Sri Lanka waiting for my flight. After checking in my baggage knowing I had a lot of time before taking off - I opened my favourite writer Gabrielle Bernstein’s - The Universe has your back and read it with a new perspective. I had read the book a year ago but now it was making more sense. I almost had tears in my eyes while reading a few paras. I expressed heartfelt gratitude in my heart to the beautiful author for writing this H ow many times we honour the present moment without ruminating in the past or being excessively worried about the future. Last 4 months I have been learning several lessons in my journey among which a major lesson is the power of surrender. It is like taking a backseat in the movie of your life and asking the Universe to be the director. Initially it was very very tough. I always have been an alpha female high achiever wanting everything. But then I decided to remove the obsession and be in the flow. On the...

Those were the days..Are you stuck on to the past or looking forward to the future?

A few months ago one of my WhatsApp group was planning a reunion. Discussions kept happening and most of my classmates remembered some amazing fond memories.It was nice to discuss so many memories and almost relive those beautiful moments . But after some time the conversation started getting boring . Most kept saying “ those were the days” “ how much beautiful the life was” “ oh wish we could go back” " so Nostalgic" Very soon I got busy in my work and had to skip myself out of the conversation. When I checked my phone later -I saw 300 unread messages. “Woah” my brain thought. “Finally the plan for reunion is made “I kept thinking to myself.  But surprisingly there was no plan. The long scrolling list was only about how difficult life was right now and how the past supposedly good old days were better. There were series of messages only talking about the past/ childhood-classroom nostalgia..blah blah. I felt so drained by the entire conversation. And hence I inter...
