Fulfilling Journey Ahead!

Where we want our boat to go and where it finally does, depends on our navigating skills.

Some don't know how to steer, and conveniently blame the wheels, wind etc for the ills!

What the new day brings to us will depend a great deal on what we bring to the new day.

If we look at the days in store and feel they are dark, how can bright light shine & stay?

The calendar's day has changed; hopefully, the lessons and experiences have made us wiser.
While the process of learning & unlearning has had its impact, and perhaps, we are nicer.

Here's a golden opportunity to change the script and do the new- be the version we choose.
This is our life, and this we know- time to tighten what's loose; we have nothing to lose!

Every day is a new day; chance to take life like an interesting, informative book to be read.
Have a promising and fulfilling new day with laughter, love, and light in the journey ahead!


I had initially written this for the new year 2026.
Three months have already passed! March is ending! It will be April soon. New day, new week, new month - such a boon!

Fireworks In The Journey Ahead


Where we want our boat to go and where it finally does, depends on our navigating skills.
Some don't know how to steer, and conveniently blame the wheels, wind etc for the ills!

If we look at the days in store and feel they are dark, how can there possibly be cheer?
What the new year brings to us will depend a great deal on what we bring to the new year.

Behold what's there right in front and up above- feel it, live it, make it a part of your story!
Fireworks in the sky dazzle and light up in a grand show - a great celebration and memory.

A Brand New Year

There's something about a brand new year-

It kindles hope, sets goals & ushers cheer.

Like all things new, like a new dress or toy,

A new year's fragrance & idea, too, brings joy!

Odia New Year: Pana Sankranti - Mahabishuba Sankranti

The Odia New Year is called Pana Sankranti or Mahabishuba Sankranti.

Details about Pana Sankranti are in my previous blog posts here.

This time let us all ensure correct representation in our social media posts.


As per the Purnachandra Odia Bhashakosha, an Odisha encyclopedia- a monumental 7-volume work of about 9,500 pages published between 1930 and 1940 by an illustrious son of Odisha, Sri Gopal Chandra Praharaj (1874-1945):

 ବିଷୁବ ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି— Bishuba Samkrāntiସଂ. ବି—ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ବର୍ଷକରେ ଯେଉଁ ଦିନଦ୍ୱୟ ବିଷୁବ ରେଖା ଉପରେ ଗମନ କରନ୍ତି; ତହିଁର ପରବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି ଦ୍ୱୟ; ଜଳବିଷୁବ ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି ଓ ମହାବିଷୁବ ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି; ବର୍ଷକରେ ଯେଉଁ ଦିନଦ୍ୱୟ ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଥମେ ଯଥା— କ୍ରମେ ମେଷ ରାଶିକୁ ଓ ତୁଳ ରାଶିକୁ ସଂକ୍ରମଣ (ଗମନ) କରନ୍ତି—The two Saṁkrānti days in the year falling after the equinoxes; the passage of the sun to the next sign at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes; the passage of the sun to the first points of Aries and Libra after the vernal and autumnal equinoxes; the equinoxial passage (Apte).
ବିଷୁବ— Bishuba3। ମେଷ ବା ବୈଶାଖ ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି; ପଣା ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି; ମହାବିଷୁବ ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି—3. The Saṁkrānti or the 1st day of the month of solar Ba̲i̱ṡākha; the first point of Aries which the sun enters after the vernal equinox (Apte).

Happy New Year Wishes

Each English calendar new year comes with hope and cheer and the possibilities are unlimited!

Darshan of Mahaprabhu

I remember the past celebrations when we started the year with a darshan of Shree Jagannatha Mahaprabhu at Puri Dham, Odisha.


Those were the days when there was no internet, smartphone or social media.

Now, we can end and start with darshan anywhere and anytime.

Now, what we want to do "darshan" and what we want to share is totally up to us!

Endings And Beginnings!


What begins with anticipation in our heart,
Someday sees the sunset; comes to an end.
Only after an end, a new beginning can start...
We try to figure out and go round the bend!
Enjoy whether complex endings or beginnings start!



41 Words Rhyme for the Weekend Writing Prompt- Complex

Happy New Year! Enjoy!
Which came first- The end or the beginning? Doesn't it seem complex when we try to figure out?

Happy New Year!

Don't cry; don't show me your tears.
Time to be strong & face your fears.

Many mistakes & learnings in the year gone by,
The new year will usher stars in your sky.

If things were dappled or filthy in the past,
Doesn't mean that the bad times will last.

They don't recognize your worth today.
But, tomorrow will be another day.

Sow the seeds that'll work their charm.
You're the best farmer of your farm.

Don't quit; the stakes may be high.
Hardwork'll make you soar & fly!

Persevere, keep the faith & be calm,
Patience & Confidence is the best balm.

Life has an elaborate list to complete in store-
Opportunities to carve a place in folklore! 

Keep the faith, enjoy the drive & journey,
The milestones & destination will appear surely!

The new year has come knocking at your door,
Look ahead, welcome opportunities & score!

Wishing you & your family a Happy New Year!
Enjoy good health, wealth, success & cheer!
