In the middle of the night when everyone slept, I lay on my bed as thoughts about love crept my way.

On Christmas day I received a call and got invited to join Anita and her family at her home for supper at 7:00 pm. I dressed in a maroon blouse and paired it with a pair of black trousers and black sandals. Accessorizing with a pashmina shawl as there was a slight chill in the evening.

The Splendid Park was a very heavenly aesthetic Park which also boasted beautiful landscape, water fountains were added into natural streams of water and the garden consisted of elaborate flamboyant plants and harlequin trees which added splendor to this breathtaking park. I was placed beneath a magnificent oak tree and this is what marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life.

My journey so far in this beautiful garden called "The Splendid Park" has been full of meaningful experiences and adventures. I know to you; I only seem to be an object but let me enlighten you so that you will see me from a different aspect. Before I take you through my journey let me take you back to where I hailed from and how I became a part of so many people's lives.

Today by words I choose to share the pearl of wisdom to enrich and enlighten your soul so carefully feel this mystical magic unfold. 

Once in a while in this journey of life there comes a time whereby you meet a person by chance who positively impacts your life. As I recall one such incident whereby without any expectations, I was able to learn a lot within a brief period of time. I had often heard a lot about the Sunset Point whereby people went to experience spectacular sunsets which made me eagerly curious to witness a spectacular evening unfold.

After having an extremely chaotic schedule, feeling exhausted and burnt out I decided to go on a much-needed solo deserving break. As I reached my destination and got off from the taxi I was approached by the porter who welcomed me and escorted me towards the reception area while wheeling my hand luggage.

I stepped into the train and hustled around, navigating my way to reach and occupy my seat. After confirming the seat number, I placed my hand baggage under the seat and sat down with a great sigh of relief. I was glad to have learned that this compartment was not cancelled.

"Sachi you don't have to be perfect all the time, the beauty lies within the imperfection I said to her."

As Ms Claire and I continued to sit on the bench in the garden a light breeze from the tall silk cotton tree shed away its beautiful large crimson flowers from its branches on us. A variety of colourful beautiful birds hummed and chirped as they relished the nectar from the flowers as we watched, making this moment very mesmerizingly magical.

On a cold January morning I made my way to the St Mary's Old-Age Home as early as 7:30am whereby I was entrusted as a volunteer at the Home. The waiting area was filled with natural light. The floor was fitted with lush wall to wall carpets. Two sofas and a side table were placed at each corner of the lounge. An elegant cut glass vase with a beautiful mix of pink tulips and white lilies was put on a very fine detailed wooden table.

In my article love yourself, I mentioned about ways to make yourself happy, after all it is an inside job. And now you are a work in progress, how does one keep it maintained, you may have done the time spending in nature, you have indulged in having a healthy and luxurious meal, travelling by yourself, exercise, meditation, and yoga.

Nobody can make you Happy, until you are Happy with yourself first! – Anon

Of lately I have been questioning about love and what does it really mean, as humans we seek external love, yet we fail to seek it from within, I mean we are constantly seeking external validation rather than turn inwards to ourselves. After reading “How to be Love(d)” by Humble the Poet, what stood out the most to me was “Love the Verb”.

Lots of people find managing their money a challenge. The basic rules of money management are simple but planning and managing personal finances can be complicated as our lives are complicated. Here are a few pointers to help you make the most of your money before pressing that 'Buy' button:

At the age of 3, my Grandma made my acquaintance to God through prayers and singing hymns. This connection of being one with the supreme being is an out-of-this-world experience, as Dr Wayne Dyer quoted “You are an infinite spiritual being having a temporary human experience”. The authentic you (your soul) is having this amazing out-of-body experience to feel this oneness with the limitless source.

During a numerology or manifestation session, clients bring up the lack of connection with their other half. “He is emotionally unavailable at all times.”, “She doesn’t care about me anymore.”, “I always ask him where our relationship is headed, I feel so unloved.” The secret to lasting love is to know your and your partner’s Love Language! Dr. Gary Chapman talks about them in his book ‘The 5 Love Languages. The Secret to Love That Lasts.’ Towards the end of the book there is an assessment of 30 statements for Him and Her that tally up and give you your prime Love Language. What are these Love Languages?

In 2020 life changed in many ways - "stay at home, stay safe, save lives", binge-watching series on Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc became a way of life, the new norm.  After a day's work, my way to wind down for a couple of hours was to watch series that were light-hearted, one of which was called 'Made In Heaven' on Amazon Prime and is a story of two wedding planners in Delhi. There was one episode that took me back to 20 years ago but before I begin my story, there are a few things that I need to mention:

Bullying happens everywhere, among family members, in schools, at workplaces, on the streets. What provokes a bully to treat their victim with such hate?  A bully is perceived to come from a place of power, yet the crux of the matter is that it comes from that person's insecurities or in most cases from their troubled or traumatic background. Ultimately bullying happens when you do not fit in with their perceived criteria of “normal”.
