‘Grok Your life’ is an anthology of poems that took me to the essence of who I am. Written during moments of contemplation and reflection this book attempts to take the reader through a journey of self-discovery and understanding.
The dictionary meaning of ‘Grok’ is to understand profoundly by intuition. But how do we do that? When we are thrown into a situation, we have thoughts about the facts of the situation. These facts may appear very real to the mind, and it triggers feelings. We tend to believe all that our mind tells us, and this leads to us to taking actions based on these feelings. The more we ruminate on these thoughts the more intense are the feelings and hence shape the way we act on them. The way we act can impact the situations either positively or negatively which in turn feeds more thoughts and this vicious cycle of thoughts – feelings – action continues.
Poetry being the most intuitive form of written expression, I decided to pen the intuition behind my thoughts, feelings and emotions in the form of poetry. This book, written in freestyle, is a sincere attempt to express my humble views and reflections on what I have learnt and continue to learn about what it takes to grow beyond my limited identity while still living a normal worldly life and how to break free of this cycle.
