Natures wonders - full of gratitude

 During my morning jog today, I noticed a few things.

Not that they suddenly appeared out of nowhere — except maybe one — but I realised I hadn’t really paid attention to them before.


The sun was visible in a soft orange hue, bright yet gentle, its warmth not fully unleashed. Strangely, its colour reminded me of the moon from the night before — just before the full moon.


The air felt kind. The heat was mild, accompanied by a soft, cool breeze.

On one side stood a row of trees — not too tall, not too dense, not extraordinary in any way. And yet, right in the middle of them was a bird’s nest, quietly holding its place.

Along the side path, someone had kept a wide bowl of water. Sparrows gathered around it, drinking peacefully. Nearby, more sparrows chirped, hopped around, and played in the mud — carefree and fully present.


On another side was an open space with scattered plants and trees, and in the middle of it, a small lake-like formation. And there they were — flamingos.. They visit this area around this time of the year, with a bird sanctuary just a little ahead. Today, they offered me a free sighting.


Later, I sat on a bench, thinking I would close my eyes with noise cancellation on. Yet, I could still hear children playing nearby. Surprisingly, it didn’t disturb me. It felt comforting.

On my way back, I reflected on all this — such small, simple things. Free of cost. Always around. And yet, so often unnoticed.

I was reminded of my own blog on little joys:

These may be small moments, but observing them made my mind pause. It calmed me. And in that calmness, I felt good.

So maybe all we need to do is look around —

You might find something too.

A breezy break

 Well you know it from the title itself, and i had not really thought of the title nor of writing I was asked, how would you describe this, and i just said A breezy break Then thought of describing this experience  We stepped out of the daily hussle for a weekend break. This is a small hill station, we chose to be inside the villa we booked and its a small nice place A little garden plants and trees all around. There are plant and trees just for greenery, plants used for food, and flower plants and so many flowers  The plants here bear so many flowers. The soil is brown and porous. Being monsoon its raining and it rains and rains and only rains with some minor breaks. But the water never tends to accumulate as if Mother earth is like real thirsty and swallows every bit of water that comes over. Alongwith rains is a nice breeze which is gentle and strong, every few minutes or a little more sometimes its gusty and cooler Not to forget the constantly kitkitting sound of cric...

No peace in intended Virakti

I spoke of Virakti yesterday,  https://logicallekh.blogspot.com/2026/01/virakti-in-professional-life.html  but today reminded me how much practice still lies ahead.  In a toxic work culture, detachment itself becomes tiring. “Toxic work culture” is one of the key themes I have been writing about lately. And every other day, my toxic colleagues give me enough masala to write more on this. What I often wonder is — how do people end up placing personal goals above organisational goals, all while appearing to work for the organisation? Some cases are explicit integrity issues. But many toxic people are subtler. They are more like an operational human error risk — a risk that probably doesn’t feature in any theory book yet. Such people weaken organisations quietly. They erode ethics and hollow systems from within, not in one dramatic act, but through daily behaviour. This happens in many ways: New joinees get moulded under their guidance, and their early career years ...
