Addressing young poets at the 'YUVAAN' Literature and Film Festival at DTU.
Lines from my mentor Daisaku Ikeda that changed the course of my life.

This post is an ode to all the young poets out there who are using their words as voices of change.
I love admire and appreciate each one of you.
You are the CHANGE we need.....
Let's kick some asss....🤛.

Caught in a dilemma🙃...

Though judging Art & Artists is impossible, it was a joyous privilege to be amongst phenomenal young talent at the English Slam Poetry event at the 'Yuvaan Literature and Film Festival' as a judge.

Thank you team YUVAAN & .pandey_

Sharing parts of my story as a 'Human Book' was an exhilarating and cathartic experience simultaneously.

Though a tad bit tiring as the format only allows a maximum of 5 people to listen in at a time, so had to do it many times over.

However i totally loved the intimacy and deep human connect of the small group.

Immense gratitude to the many people who chose me as the 'Human Book ' they were drawn to.

Delighted to be amongst young talent again as a judge at the Sri Ram College Of Commerce...

Being a fiercely private person it was a huge challenge for me to open up about my struggles and subsequent wins over Domestic Violence, Mental & Emotional Torture, A forged divorce thrust on me and my daughters being taken away from me.

However my even more fierce desire to support any one going through the same and to let them know they are not alone helped me be an open book.

This led me to being invited to share my story on various platforms 'Human Library' by at .in being one such amazing platform.

Let's all win....

Recently i had the privilege of being chosen as a 'BOOK' for the 'HUMAN LIBRARY' Gurugram Chapter.

Totally loved the human connect this event fostered and as always i was happy to share my life story with the intent that even if it supports one person to find the light and overcome adversity, it will be a life well lived.

Thank you @ and .in for this unique opportunity.

'Becoming' is such an honest unpretentious book. For me it's the book of 2019.
What book impacted you the most last year.
Lets chat in the comments.

My cup runneth over!
Because you can only give to others from a full cup🙃
What have you done today to fill your cup of joy?
I did some spontaneous happy dancing on the roads!!!!

Nature, books and laughter are oxygen to me!
Not necessarily in that order though🙃🌻

Reading outdoors is my happy thing to do. My surefire pick-me-up and go to remedy for everything.

What is your happy thing to do? Would love to hear from y'all.🤎

Go watch this awesome paradigm busting piece by Krishna Singh on 's YouTube channel.

Celebrating Life & Joy, Celebrating Beauty Inside-Out & Celebrating Womanhood without judgements!

In Indian society 'Shringar' (an amalgam of Fashion, Beauty & Adornment) has traditionally been associated with being married!

Society grants a married woman the right to dress up in finery, wear jewellery, wear makeup all to please her man!

And the day destiny or choice rob a woman of her 'MARRIED' Status!

Society cruelly also strips her of her right to look & feel beautiful!

But is beauty & adornment not for oneself rather than for others!

Does not a woman who is 'WIDOWED' or 'DIVORCED' have the right to look & feel beautiful for herself without being made to feel guilty for celebrating life.

This piece from this beautiful artist and person totally resonates with so many of us .

Though this piece and practice sprouted from deep loss and traumatic circumstances, this is such a celebration of joy, self love, and the need to be one's own most passionate lover first and always that it is an absolute must watch.

though this is in Hindi, my native tongue couldn't resist sharing this with you who debunks the age old paradigm that women are only allowed to dress up or wear jewellery and makeup as a symbol of belonging to a man.

श्रृंगार सदैव स्वयं के लिए होना चाहिए !

सजना है मुझे सजना के लिए is passe' now!

Any guesses who my favorite Super Hero is?
🙃 its meeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
The gentleman in the picture comes a close second;)
So this picture is not just about my love for the masked crusader, it's about self love as well.
The earlier me would have never posted this pic publicly. Fat thighs, fat arms, frizzy hair is what this picture would have spoken to me.
Version 2.0 sees this picture in a completely new light. Today it speaks to me of a person who is relaxed and comfortable in her own skin, enjoying life and its little joys, living her purpose while the light within spills out and illuminates everything around.
Loving and celebrating myself As-Is💫

Sharing this brilliant piece of spoken word poetry......by this amazing poet Shriya Sahni

Everyone who has been body shamed or has deemed themselves not enough...

This one's for you, you are YOUnique ! Time to accept, love and embrace yourself...

https://youtu.be/r7AF6oHDu64

I Accept My Flaws | English Poetry by Shriya Sahni | LIMEWIT Live "We all are engulfed by our own insecurities. Be it the colour of our skin, or stretch marks or scars, the world leaves no stone unturned to body shame us or...

Sexual choices, preferences and behaviour are a part of life and definitely not the defining parameter of any human being.

Time to unlearn old patterns and dismantle obsolete paradigms....

So today is one of those days where my fears and insecurities are getting the better of me...

I don't always feel like this, most days I am little ( actually large ) Ms. Sunshine..full of gusto working toward my dreams and goals.

But life isn't always a silk smooth highway, dirt roads often creep in unnoticed, so here I am mired in deep s**t today, convinced that I will forever be trapped in mediocrity, never able to live a life of purpose and worse still, that I don't deserve to...

That time and opportunities have passed me by...

But I am okay with it, I embrace it totally for if I have learned anything its to feel through things instead of resisting, ignoring or bottling them up.

I've learned to take life not just one day at a time but in even smaller bite sized chunks, one hour at a time.

I've learned that a bad day isn't a bad life, that though this is me too, it isn't all me... This too shall pass....

That some one somewhere understands and is holding space for the sun to rise in my heart again... as I am doing for a struggling stranger sitting and watching their coffee turn to poison right now...

Hey stranger let's hold hands and wait for the darkness to melt into oblivion, for tomorrow is always another day and surely a better one.....

Dreams are an expression of who we are. .sometimes our dreams are active, clear visions..other times they are just latent, vague , undefined longings & desires...

Whatever the form, our dreams are an integral part of our existence.

I too have always had & continue to have dreams.

My dreams are the longings of my soul...

They are the catalysts, facilitators & navigators that lead me to where i am meant to be. ..

My dreams are the precursors of my life purpose, my thrust...

They inspire, they motivate & they kick ass to get me moving out of my comfort zone into walking my talk.

My dreams are a delicate, intricate yet accurate system of communication with my higher self..my inner guidance.

My dreams blossom from the seeds of my life purpose.

They are my desire to create, communicate, facilitate & validate my Life Purpose, my thrust.... That which I & only I can bring to this world...

And yet for forty years of my life I GAVE UP ON MY DREAMS, smothering them under blankets of fear, unworthiness, judgement, procrastination & what not...

BUT MY DREAMS NEVER GAVE UP ON ME....

They kept nudging, poking & haunting me, until one day tired of pushing them under the blanket..i decided to try living them instead. ..

& boy !! When i did that was i ever floating in a sea of synchronicities...

Today i believe in my dreams because they were given to me for a reason or two..lol

#1 : because they are unique to me

#2 : if i can dream them..i can certainly live them..

So dear sweet tribe..honor me by sharing your dreams with me & allow me to be a part of your cheer leading squad...

I love you.

You are worthy ! Period !!!!

Patiently dig deep through the muck,( it definitely ain't all yours ) and reclaim your worthiness.

This woman Gina Hatzis my sister from another mother, founder of the kicks off the tomorrow 18th January in Phoenix Arizona.
Her too much woman video has been viewed 16 million times and counting.

This tour will touch, inspire, empower, uplift and transform lives, challenge paradigms & break new ground for because this is not the Gina show to quote my sister, it is about all us women who have dimmed ourselves down for ages.

No longer baby, we are choosing to shine because you just can't dim the sun.

My heart & my eyes are overflowing with grati tears. Color me .

A big shout out to the wonderful who are hosting the events in Phoenix. Ls Marie, Nancy Schwartz, Kari Evans Whipkey, Renee Hays, Summer Miller Stout Bloyer, Alexa Brianne.

Healing as a word is currently fashionable and popular. Everyone and their cousin ( me included ) is talking about it.

Well since I have an opinion on almost everything and generally am not shy about sharing it either ( yesss I am open and receptive to others opinions too, irrespective of whether I am in agreement or not ) so today I felt compelled to talk about what healing means to me. Beginning the first of the series of sharing on healing.....

Healing to me is more about the journey rather than a destination. It is a way of life, an ongoing vital process like breathing. Though unlike breathing healing is sometimes organic and other times it has to be voluntarily facilitated.

As life keeps throwing curve balls, some I manage to catch, some I manage to deflect, some fly by me, merely grazing me while others inflict wounds, soul deep.

Healing to me is about not succumbing to my wounds while still accepting them.
It is also about accepting that even when the wounds heal, the scars may perhaps never fade.

Healing to me begins with the acceptance of the dark that needs light to be shined on to it. It is about acknowledging that pain exists in order to salve it.

Healing is about owning the hurt and the trauma, then releasing it ( through whatever modalities work best for you - more on that in a separate sharing ). To release we have to sometimes relive the hurt and pain.

So healing isn't about flowers and petals only, they come later for sure - soft, soothing, and serene, but first you have to rake up the muck to clean house and reach the garden.

This is my story of surviving domestic violence and creating a life after.
There is no excuse ever for DV, & no the victims never need feel they deserve it because no one deserves it.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month in the US, so sharing in the hope that this reaches many to let them know they are not guilty & not alone.

Every one forge your own SUN.

Fabulous art to my words by my daughter Ananyaa Tyagi.

wilhom danced a dazzling sunflower
her inflorence, a luminous aura
radiating across the miles
her petal thin skin, a translucent tapestry
spun from the glittering rays of the sun
a million promises of joy, seeded,
lovingly in to her core......

one innocuously garbed, apocalyptic spring day
a gentle, loving wind blew her way
tantalizingly brushing her velvet gold cheeks
seducing her with supple kisses on sepal soft lips
caressing the nape of her emerald adorned neck
charmer wind had her surrender her being

as time turned its wheel, seasons changed
lover wind metamorphosed into a raging storm
showcasing his colors true, barbaric black and bully blue
the sweet nothings turned into torturous tormenting
love marks turned into wounds and bruises
gold tinted delicate veins turned a morose grey
the raging storm sucked in her self worth and confidence
and with him carried pieces of her soul away
enveloping her in a darkness so dense and deep
not a single ray of sunlight could sneak through

on the verge of falling off the precipice
a tiny vestige of her broken soul pulled her back
if you can love some one else so much, why can't you love you
screamed the voice in the soul
and that is when something gave
she tore apart her petals and scraping together
the residual gold of happy times in the sun
she amalgamated it with the rekindled fire of her dreams
to it she added a measure of metal from her broken spine

and then she forged her own Sun...

slowly but surely sunflower dazzled and danced again...

Every single moment we are shamed for our bodies for either being skinny or fat.

We are so much more than the flesh on our bodies.

This is my tuppence, oops my two **kingkg supporting the movement against weight shaming.

I'd love for all of you wonderful women to post your pics loving yourself as you are.

I weigh the dust of my dreams,
and the grazes from my falls,
and the warm ashes of regrets,
and the lessons from wrong turns

I also weigh the steel in my spine
and the petals floating in the crevices of my skin
and the rivers of kindness gushing from my smile
and the gardens of love blooming in my heart

I weigh humanity and I weigh worthiness
and my magic weighs so much that
I FU***NG BREAK THE SCALES OF YOUR JUDGEMENTS & EXPECTATIONS

Courage isn't just Hercules, Achilles or Perseus. Courage is Artemis & Athena too.
Stand tall in your truth & shine... Now that's COURAGE.

Let's spread love & peace through spreading YOGA.

So this here's my gift to everyone :
