Poem: I am just a Human Being

 I am just a Human Being


I am not a citizen of a country,

Nor I want to be recognised by the language I speak.


I don't want to be known by the city I stay in,

Nor by a state.


I do not have any caste or religion,

Nor do I belong to any creed. 


I am just a human,

Just like any other under the bright shining Sun.


I am, on this Earth, a wee specie,

From any kind of labels, I want to be free. 


This beautiful nature is the creation of Divine,

Whom am I to say all this is mine..


Humanity is the only thing, 

One should believe.


Each and every living being,

Is Equal to Him.


Be humane,

Be Kind,

Live and let live. 

Break the bonds of self imposed labels. 


We are only, and only the children of Mother Earth,

Just one of creations of the Creator!!

My First 100km Ride

Image
  After my first long ride till my Mom's house and back, I have been cycling regularly. I got a bit more  ambitious and now I was aiming for a century ride.  Dileep suggested it's better that I ride in and around first to build up the stamina and get used to cycling. So I started riding daily around 5km each day and slowly increasing the distance and duration, once I got into the flow.  One beautiful thing happened. On 1st September, as I was riding I just went with the flow and rode around 11kms that  day.... That night I came across the BIKE30 challenge. We had to ride 10km each day for 30 days in September month. It was like it was meant to be, since unknowingly I had done more than 10km that day. I enrolled for that challenge and enjoyed each bit of the challenge.  With this regular ride, I got the confidence that I could try to do a 100.  I asked Dileep if we could go for a 100km ride in October to commemorate our wedding anniversary and my birthday!! Dileep said sure!! Ye

My First Long Cycle Ride

Dileep rides for " Bangalore Randonneurs "  https://www.audaxindia.org/bangalore-randonneurs-bangalore-c-9 and " GoGreenGoCycling "  http://www.gogreengocycling.org/ and few solo rides with his friends.  He is a great inspiration to me and our kid. I wanted to go cycling with him for a very long time.  With the lock down slightly relaxed and cyclists allowed on the roads with all the precautions, we planned a short family ride of 15kms, considering our lil one's capacity to ride. It was super fun.     And ever since I had been craving for more. That's the thing about any physical activity, walking, running, yoga cycling, gymming, you name it, once you get the taste of it, and you end up craving for more.  Anyway, I asked my husband if we could ride till my mom's place and he agreed. From our house till Mom's, it's around 22 Kms. I was over the moon and super excited. Once the plan was made, I told my mom that we would be coming early in the mor

Aging Gracefully

​ As young people, we are full of energy, enthusiasm, super busy with our work, family and other activities.  But we are ​​ n't going to be young for ever. While we are investing for our old age, saving up a lump sum to give us a comfortable life, many of us forget to invest in one more and most important thing. A hobby, something we are passionate about. Something which will keep us busy the whole day, while our children are away for studies/ work or blissfully enjoying the company of their friends, spouse and their children.  We need to accept that even though our children love us, will always do, it's difficult for them to spend time with their old parents with so many things demanding their attention.  While we enjoy seeing them all grown up and responsible, we should make sure we let them do that without feeling guilty of not being able to spend time with us..  We should learn to age gracefully. Planning is very important. Find the things you are passionate ab
