Monday Morning. I am at the traffic signal. 
Yes, you guessed it right! Stuck, frustrated, irritated and everything that screams S.O.S.
God with all this traffic, do we even need signals!!! 
The honking people are honking their best.
I am as frustrated as I possibly could be ! 

As I look out I see this huge poster of Krishna put up for Janmashtami celebrations.
Oh Lord Krishna, ....save us from this daily Mahabharat!!

It’s funny how sometimes when we are alone with our thoughts, we embark on a soul journey.
“Daily  Mahabharat ” in the eternal traffic of existence!  Wow!
The boss screaming his lungs, the kid throwing tantrums, the husband going ballistic, the mother falling sick  and so on and so forth. 
Every day we face our own private battles. Every time we face a situation, we jump right into it equipped with uncontrolled emotions trying to better it. 

Do we need to react...and immediately? Right now stuck in the traffic I see two options. 
Either I can honk, scream, yell  making it a nightmare for everyone, or sit quiet and tune in the radio louder, close my eyes and drift into a happy place. 
Accept the situation, let the Mahabharata go on outside; let there be peace inside. 
So often we forget we have this choice.

Can we accept and allow all situations as a part of life and move on ?
Can we love without putting conditions...
And not hurt ourselves in return ?
Do we need to lose our balance every time someone loses theirs?
Must we live in a world of reactions?

I realised I had tuned myself off from the traffic woes. 
My heart skipped a beat as the radio was playing my favourite song.
Bliss I found right there as I was smiling and humming the song. 
Same situation- different me

Darlings, 

Tune in to your bliss - it's right there within you.
Let the Mahabharata outside go on...
Where Krishna is just a spectator knowing and allowing it in peace
and 
Arjun, the warrior, fighting his own blood is in distress

Be Krishna or be Arjun

The choice is yours

I, for the sake of my sanity and peace, choose to be Krishna .
