Mom, what do you do?
‘I believe I can fly’ – by R.Kelly is my favorite song much to the disdain of my kids. ‘Mom, get us a song from our generation, this is too old’! I have not budged an inch; the words inspire me in the moments where nothing much could. In this lockdown, they are the ones … Continue reading "Mom, what do you do?"

Year 2020 had just passed by and I was having a sigh of relief! It was a year of being at home for a stretch of time, being cut-off, sort of, from outside world, in physical sense.

Are you an Influencer?
I recently read an article about the top Instagram influencers in India; the Top 5 names were Priyanka Jonas Chopra, Sunny Leone, Jacqueline Fernandez, Urvashi Rautela, and Kapil Sharma.

The conversation is one of the greatest gifts of life to mankind. The famous Greek philosopher Aristotle described the man as a “Social Animal”.

Transforming
Maximising the potential of a person, any person, has been my journey of late. I am personally passionate about helping others fulfil their destiny.
