Happiness

I am Happy

Standing by the side of a lake,

An image is seen in deep waters,

To whom I ask

Is happiness a choice?

The image smiles back as I smile

I get my answer – you can choose to be Happy!

A Shadow

My Shadow

In the dark

A shadow unseen 

My  friend

Paper Boats

Paper Boats

Paper boats in water

Sailing harmoniously

A child’s joy

A Haiku on Sunrise

Rising Sun

Morning sun

Raises a toast

Winter delight

The Middle Path

The Chosen Path

The Middle Path
A question I have often been asked is “What do you do”? In the past my simple reply would be “I work for children and write about their lives, joys and challenges”. 

Of late, there has been a shift in thinking and working patterns. The not for profit sector has plethora of qualified professionals in all streams who have a drive to excel and succeed at all cost. An examination is required if this success is for the organisation or the professional. In most of the cases the professionals want to excel at the cost of the organisation. Their demand for high packages puts stress on the organisation and above all on the programmes which are being run. 

A soul searching is required in the larger interest of the development sector on how the face of this sector would be in coming days. We cannot deny the need for good professionals but as Lord Buddha puts it “Middle Path”. Are we following the “Middle Path”?
