Don't believe what your eyes are telling you.
All they show is limitation.
Look with your understanding.
Find out what you already know,
And you will see the way to fly.
~ Richard Bach

This quote is from one of my favourite books, Jonathan Livingston Seagull and of course the moment framed is from the monument Gateway of India! 🏠✨

I am still reveling in the inspiration that I have just gathered by going through the hashtag soulie on Instagram! And so, it only feels right to sit down, compile, and share all these fabulous creations submitted under the idea since the last soulie sharing chapter in the series. Thank you Everyone! I cannot be more grateful for all these wonderfully creative people who have come out asking for all that my little project #soulie is about, showing an interest and curiosity in the idea, believing in it and sharing their #soulie moments on Instagram.

From a lonesome flower in beautiful bloom to a canopy of hope bobbing on the sea, from reflections of peace in the ocean of Gangasagar to sufi renditions from the heart of Delhi, Qutub Minar - this edition of Soulie Sharing has it all to touch your soul and kiss your spirit. And I couldn't be more excited and thrilled to share all this with you!

I hope you'll hop over to each of these Instagram profiles and cheer their talent along as they go about weaving their magical pictures with a thread of their soul. Here they go, all the posts are in the order in which they were shared, read on!

I wonder what it takes to grow alone...
To bloom on its own...
To stand out of the crowd...
To seek the unknown...


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




The chaos and the cauldron
The angst and the fears
The pangs of loss;

Let them not cloud your vision,
Let them not take away
The love, compassion and hope;
The sweet music divine
From your heart.

Embrace solitude at a remote beach
Reflect, admire, smile
Let the waves lull you to sleep;
Allow Nature to soothe you
And cleanse the burden of your heart.

Let love be your lyrics
Let kindness be your music
Allow your heart to sing forever! 💜🎵🎶

There are days when we search for peace in our lives.
And when we visit religious places like Gangasagar-
the confluence of river Ganga and Bay of Bengal,
the world altogether looks so very different and pleasant.
Even the lifeless objects around such places becomes full of life.
Everything appears at rest and justifies the fact that "Peace still Exists" in real world,
it's only the perspective that how we see it.

Loneliness and solitude are two different things. When you are lonely, it is easy to delude yourself into believing that you are on the right path. Solitude is better for us, as it means being alone without feeling lonely. But eventually it is the best to find a person who will be your mirror. Remember only in another person’s heart can you truly see yourself and the presence of God within you.

Aye Khuda e paak Aye Rabul Kareem 
Hai Tu hi Malik, Tu hi banda nawaaz
Jaanta hai Tu humare dil ke raaz 
Kya zameen kya aasman, kya subho shaam 
Hain sab hi Tere isharo ke ghulam 
Tu jo chahe zarra bhi ho aaftab
Jisko chahe usko de Tu behisaab ...

In dinon garche dakkan mein hai badi qadr-e-sukhan
Kaun Jaye “Zauq” par Dilli ki galiyan chhod kar
