An Ode to the Housekeeper


I come from afar,
Leaving my loved ones at large
I am a Housekeeper, I am here to serve!

I was here during lockdown,
Never did I bog down
Preparing to welcome you safe,
Anticipating your fear and inhibitions
I am the Housekeeper, I am there!

As dark clouds hover over,
As fear and panic grips,
I am called at forefront,
I am the Housekeeper, never my commitment dips!

I walk towards the unknown,
Wearing a smile & my prayer
I don’t flinch, don’t sweat.
I am the Housekeeper, I don’t dread!

I am called upon, I respond,
I am at the front, I fight.
To keep you safe, to keep you fit.
I am the Housekeeper, I use all my might!

I work long, work hard
I prepare for you to return.
I risked, I battled.
I am the Housekeeper, the war is still on!

I am the Housekeeper, help me help the World,
Wear masks, follow protocols,
Join me in this fight,
I am the Housekeeper, let’s do what’s right!

I don’t need gratification
I don’t need sympathy
I am the Housekeeper, show me empathy…

Together we can achieve,
Together we can win,
I am the Housekeeper, I believe!

The Bottle Gourd Rhyme

I am tall, I am slender,
Light Green but not cucumber.
Have a snout, have a tail,
Found in market & even retail.

Packed with Vitamin C, K & Calcium,
I punch my weight in nutrition.
Eat me & get a healthy heart, Bring down cholesterol & fat!

I am 90% water & light,
& can climb up with delight.
Eat me & be wise,
as solid, liquid or otherwise!

Towards the Horizon

Towards the Horizon

Sitting in a corner, absorbing the incandescent hue,
A malt for company, awaiting a magical cue,
I often wonder, all these years, where were you?
I reflect upon the days which could have been,
I reminiscent our childhood, sans together we were weaned.
Envisioning moments which could have been memories, 
But alas, nowhere to be seen.

We may have traversed different paths,
We may have stood on different grounds,
But alas the fate,
Who can dissuade the cosmic rays,
The divine intervention, the vibrational play!

So, 
Let you not forget the pains of the past,
The needles, the barbs- to contend, the perceptions bend.
With steely resolve & grit that transcends.
Let you not forget a moment -the path, the way.
Which brought you here this day.
There’re still miles to go -on this ever meandering, challenging path.
But do Dream in the daylight hours, burn the midnight oil,
& You will shoot again, as a sapling does from the soil!

From amongst the clouded black sky,
Appears a streak of light so bright.
From amongst the burnt grey ashes,
The amber glows & spread light.
Our darkest hours define thy mettle,
And you have proven time & again, you are no damn brittle.

When one is pinned against the wall,
When one is pushed to the limits,
When the sun fades you down,
When the tears turn into trickles,
Let that realm of life, be the story of past,
Lest, life has a fight again, gore & bloody till the last!

So, 
this moment, let’s take a pledge
Positive perspectives, not nearing the edge.
Let’s paint a rosy picture,
With whiffs of Vervain & soothing nectar.

Over the hills, where the sky is blue,
Sun shines bright, spreading a golden lowe,
In the trickle down the creek, where water takes a crystal hue.
Such a paradise, for you, I invoke!

I wish you keep stepping out from the old to the new.
I wish you keep embracing the novel within.
I wish thy soul, long suppressed finds awakening.
Into that land of desires, may you find fulfilment.

Let me take you to a world beneath the clouds,
A world without sorrow & unending love.
Were hope ascents, drenched from the first rays of the sun.
Darkness disappears basking the moonlit radiance.
Into that land of peace, may you find solace.


Uff… too much melodrama, what you say?
Let’s take it to a lighter vein
As I hope to make some gain.
So, here’s my list of return gifts,
Pies, roasts, JD and some tit bits.
No more excuses will I take,
Now or never can I say?

Sojourn through Tarotspace

SOJOURN THROUGH TAROTSPACE

Let me tell you a story,
Of a deck of cards, in all its glory.
Well, some will say, what’s the big deal?
To them my humble reply, come, conquer, and heal.

The story is my take,
On art, of an ancient age.
Tarochhi as it first evolved.
In Milan & Ferrara- getting masses involved.
Adorned in Ivory, Silver & Gold,
Painted in colours so bold.
Veiled in the mist of time,
Myths and legend circumscribe.

Superstition, flights of fancy & speculations
Tarot has seen many such reflections.
A myriad of colourful tapestry of yore,
Adding aura, mystery, magic to the lore!

Let’s come to Quanto Tarot then,
Where we learn as and when.
Our sacred and a place so blessed.
With Magical Mansi at the helm,
A peerless experience in the realm.


Rider Waite, Osho Zen, Sacred India are for taking.
As different, as similar as per your making.
When Mansi starts her interpretations,
We are all ears in anticipation.

The wild card starts the show,
Fool, Rudra, asks us to outgrow.
Magician follows in tow,
The Existence- Vishnu- unison in cosmos thy bow.
Ma Saraswati the pure, connects us to the divine,
The High Priestess of the deck says to shine.

Empress follows in her sensual glow,
Ma Lakshmi, creativity bestow.
Then comes the King of the deck,
The no-nonsense Emperor, approved by Brahma the great.

No-thingness is not that empty
Check with Manu, its Hierophants entry.
Lovers give us the choice of paths,
Kaccha Devyani grace the Lovers card.

Chariot tells us to keep moving,
In Krishn Arjun awareness we keep soaking
Ma Durga tells you to empower selves.
Show strength and courage till end.

The Hermit reflects in Aloneness,
Not loneliness but like Mahavir introspect.
The Wheel of fortune reminds us change is constant.
before Varuna breakthroughs the Justice warrant.

The Hanged Man asks for sacrifice,
In Trishanku’s story on can see a new vision, old issues oxidise.
Ma Kali brings chaos in order,
In abruptness of Death, we surrender.

Ma Ganga in all purity- integrates, creates.
The Temperance of liberating alchemy one waits.
Our bondages are shown in the Devil next
Conditioning required to improve self.

Be Aware the Tower has arrived,
Most feared of the tribe,
Thunderbolt it could unleash, like thy Shiv Tripurantaka tales thrive.
After Broken Illusions,
Its time for some soul- searching.
Heres comes in Silence, Usha the Star shining.




Moon magnifies the emotions,
Chandra says know your limitations.
Surya dazzles, creates, give birth,
In Innocence enjoy abundance says the Sun
Make a life changing decision says Pralay,
Go Beyond Illusion, take the Judgement.
In Completion comes the World,
Shakti says create beyond imagination et all.

The Major arcana’s are now dealt and learnt.
Or is it?

Then we have the Minor Arcana’s
As ancient, as unique with “Tree of Life” as inspiration.
Representing elements of nature, on which depends generations.
Fire, Water, Air, and Earth
Represented by Wands, Cups, Swords & Pentacles!
If Wand is energy & growth,
Cup betokens love & happiness galore!
Sword expresses, aggression & boldness.
Pentacles a talisman to magical evocation!
14 cards each element follow,
Delivering a message to wallow.



Wow, it was a whirlwind lesson,
Still figuring, how to comprehend.
The energies, the auras & stories in between
Leaves me overwhelmed, perplexed & tensed.
Wish, this could have been as easy,
As reflected in the” 9 of pentacles” -teasy?

But need not thy worry, 
Blessed we are that “Apni wali” Mansi is around.
She will show a way & her magic will astound!
So, folks, go deep and dwell,
Imbibe the cards & make Mansi’s heart swell.
She will let you know with her hugs & smile,
How much she loves us connect to the divine!

ADDA- A Journey

ADDA is our third space,
A beloved & sacred place.
Here we learn to love self,
In vibrations, in intuitions we do dwell.
Want to wane worries, or cross a treacherous path,
Or simply need a supporting act.
Join, sit back and relax.

Take center stage or enjoy the ringside view,
Glow in our spotlight, or enjoy the reflected hue,
When the clock strikes 9:30, we are there for you.
It is a time to learn, to play, recognise or to celebrate.
A game, an expert, language or science,
History, finances or rhymes,
Or a journey through times.
ADDA has it all,
Join to have a ball!

Sometimes,
A treasure of stories,
Living fantasies,
A deep dive into realism.
A playfield,
For a novice, one’s first tryst,
Where one grows from a seed to a sapling or a caterpillar to a butterfly,
A stage for an expert,
An attentive ear, a learned audience- push you further to gly
ADDA has seen, celebrated it all!

ADDA takes a special feel,
When our dynamic duo, grace the screen.
A smiling diva - heart melting, benevolent Ma Mansi,
A guiding light, ceaseless wisdom, path maker, Guru Shivo
ADDA is a journey, 
Many hop in, hop out,
Stamping their imprints, many to follow.
Wheel is in motion; it will roll on…
People come & people go,
ADDA is a constant, one cannot ignore!

Life



Life is a playfield of energies;
Some positives, some negatives,
which create innumerable synergies.

Life is quite a drama;
on some days leaves you playful & gay,
sometimes showers a melancholy way.

Life can be tricky, sometimes intense,
ruminate decisions, making sense?

The path is long, one needn’t traverse alone,
Reach out, a helping hand in horizon awaits.

A willing mind, beating heart & of course my smile,
A nudge from di,
& I was ready to tee.

Apprehensions galore, self-doubt to the core,
me an Enigma, stepped in to explore!
Nine days so I was told,
Why 9, I now implore … why 9 I now implore…

Clarity, solace what I seeked,
Transformational energies so I desired,
Peach, calm what I wanted,
Change, positivity I envisaged.

Synthesis, a process experienced,
thy not a chapter, a way of life sure.
Synchronicity an event experienced,
aligning self with universe desired?

Deities, divinity were words scant,
meaning, barriers broken & mend.
Invocation a realization…
Ganesha gave a tingle,
Vishnu ji a pain
Kali ma left me alone
Garuda & Rudra made gains.

Man is a slave of habits,
Let the soul empowering remain.
Spread words, spread blessings,
let the Magic continue,
& so I believe…

Journey with a Spouse

Spouse, not just a word,
A feeling, a call to partnership,
Right, you heard.

A journey together,
Making folklore, many memories later,
Friend for all weather.

Time for shared responsibilities,
 for her, for him and of course twining
Have faith in abilities.

Presenting moments to learn,
Many more to unlearn, reinvent,
Someday yearn.

Spouse supports you,
On your journey, through thick & thin,
Isn’t it true?

Through ups & downs,
Life’s unpredictable shocks & bolts
With spouse, no frowns!

When life is happy & gay,
Sunshine bright, smells so right,
Ecstasy at play.

So, guys admire & respect,
A bond so surreal, thy part not in heaven or realm of spirits
No fences to erect!

Let Go

Are you being held back?
Are you living in your past?
Are you carrying the burden?
Are you bearing the brunt?

Have you more questions than answer?
Have you been seeking the truth?
Have you been knocking on doors?
Have you found the source?

Science always doesn’t answer, clarifies.
In meta world many things survive,
No text is sufficient, no explanations suffice.
In the world beyond, energies ply.

Let past be the bygone,
No pondering what might have been…
Just embrace the change unseen!

Step out of comfort zone,
Into the unknown…
Open to life’s embrace,
And let your spirit find its grace.

In every moment let awareness reign,
Open to energies, vibrations at play.
For in this consciousness, you will find home,
Where winds of change forever roam!

As you step into your Teens

It’s that time of the year when,
 celebration calls, time & again.
This year needs special mention,
As you turn thirteen and seek attention!

The years seemed to pass in a flash,
As it were, a hundred-meter dash.
From the early crawls to the current hops,
From Bheem and Elsa to Bieber and K-pop
From feeble cries and innocent squabbles,
To fighting for your choice and causing trouble.

We reminisce each moment of the journey,
An emotional juggernaut - exiting, boggling and nervy!
We are proud of what you have achieved,
Explore your limits, in you we believe! 

Remember what we say next,
It will hold you in good stead!
As u step in teen,
Walk the talk & be seen!



It’s time to dream & create,
Push the bars, to seal your fate.
It’s also a time to rejoice & fantasize.
Live carefree, not overanalyse.

Time too for a funky hair do, some nails,
of trials & misses, see what prevails.
Time for pavlova’s and cream,
of hogging to hearts delight, not only in dream!

A tattoo here, a piercing there,
Streaks and beads if you so dare.
Also give some thought to spiritual awareness,
Prayer and meditation in all fairness!

Time for movies, time for books,
Oh, the exams in between, will keep you on tenterhooks!
Time for picnics, time for night outs,
Oh, those projects & papers- never a doubt!




These are the years to friend & unfriend,
Some for a lifetime, amid amends & extends.
These are the years for crushes & misses,
Nothing serious, just kisses & wishes.

Also, the years to learn trick of the trade,
Of dollar & cents, rupees & price,
Stocks & options, makes one rise.
It’s never too early for financial wisdom,
For dreams & stardom, in our kingdom!

As you step out of our shadows,
Figuring your identity & halo
Doubts may linger, u see haze around,
Give a shout, wave back,
Remember to fall on, after all we are a pack.

Life is a marathon, not a sprint,
Run at your pace, ask for hints.
Life’s not black & white, as it seems.
in Greys, learn to beam.

In moments of happiness, soak in.
In moments of victory, stay grounded.
In moments of failure, introspect.
In moments of despair, reflect.
Life is a vortex of energies,
Balance beautifully to create beneficial synergies.

This much insight should suffice,
Now time for us to be nice and entice.
Flowers, chocolates, and gifts galore,
Ready for you to cherish and adore.
We hope you have a memorable time,
Each moment, each phase be worth your dime!

A gift to behold

A gift to behold  

Who are you we wondered,
Where your path leads, we thought
I knew what we wanted, couldn’t envisage
Then we surrendered…

When in pain, you are the balm.
When there’s despair, you make calm.
When mind wanders, you direct.
When there’s darkness, you reflect.

The world could be treacherous,
Its people delusional,
with your guiding light, ceaseless wisdom,
the path lightens, spirit awakens, tranquility prevails.

As we celebrate, rejoice,
We all have a choice…
To be with others, to help learn, unlearn;
To keep the hope alive, the lights shining bright.
That’s a gift which will behold,
For a guru, who never gets old!
