Anniversary


I have been reminded by WordPress that yesterday was 12 years since I joined WordPress and started blogging. What a journey it has been. It is good to be reminded of the anniversary.

Heartless Ego


How is it
That we have a heart
But are driven
By a heartless ego

With
Complete disregard
for the well being
of those around us

As if
We are the only ones
who matter at all
Where well being matters

Happiness
Is a right
equal in proportion
to each of us

So that we may fly

caring . mindful . protective

Child Rights Symposium


Child delegates presenting the highlights

Today, I participated in the Child Rights Symposium organized by the Children’s Ombudsperson. It is a two day event. Papers were presented today by the Attorney General’s Office, Child and Family Protection Service, the Ministry of Education, Maldives Police Service, and the Ministry of Health.

At the end of the day the child delegates at the Symposium presented the highlights of the presentations along with their concerns and recommendations. That actually was the biggest highlight of the day.

The Child Rights Symposium is being held at the Crossroads Maldives, Event Hall.

Elliptical Trainer


A welcome and now permanent visitor in the living room. A constant reminder that nothing is possible by the mere presence of a thing.

How do you want to be treated?


We have all being through rough patches in life. Or have we? 

It is being human to often generalize our feelings and experiences as the norm and believe that the expectations and feelings of others are also similar in fashion to our own. This is the reason why we have a virtue to treat others in the manner and fashion that we would want us to be treated. This is not true for this day and age.

We should treat others not in the way that we would want us to be treated, but in a manner and fashion that they would want to be treated. Therefore it is important for us to first take a moment to listen, to understand and to find out about the one we want to do something for.

This is perhaps what has changed. The mindset shift that is required in order to build community today.

Another effing day


Some days
Are meant to be
Painful, yet pleasant
For you did your best

In the end
The buck stopped
Right on your big toe
The one that hurt most

Assumptions
Expectations unlimited
In scope and in sizes large
No body really fucking cares

Avoid Deny Negate


Avoiding the truth
Denying the facts
Negating the reality
The path to ecstasy

The illusion we create
To appease our mind and heart
From the pain of the truth
And the facts that are so real

Can bring peace
To a mind burdened in pain
Unable to find the purpose
And the beauty of life and living

Dark on the inside
Bubbling on the outside
Makes the world a happy place
For the rest and the many

What we need though

Is peace of mind for the heart
So that life can be fulfilling
For the soul that gives life
To the heart mind and body

Finding happiness


Acquaintances, coincidences
Sum total of both and our thoughts
Thereof, generate the elements
That determine and shape our future

Some thoughts make us feel good
Others make us feel bad or horrible
Either of these feelings make us think
Thoughts that are either positive or negative

It is those thoughts that make us happy

Or unhappy, depending on the choices
That we make out of many at our disposal
Thoughts that come from how we feel
About ourselves, over and above everything

Take a moment, to reshape your future
