About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Been there , done that - I for a greater part of my adult life always thought that. But then God intervened and put me into places and situations where I had to move out of my comfort zone . It opened up new vistas for me , taught me what fun it can be to be in challenging situations.

I have been very lucky. Born into a family where I was the youngest offspring of a large family , I had the best available to me . Education , doting parents , an elder sister who breathed life into me twice. I knew I was cared for .

My Grandmother through her simple words made an indelible impression on me and those are the words that I live by . My Grandfather (he lived to be 100) was a karamyogi who commanded death to come to him ( In India we call it "Iccha Mrityu" ) . If I can be an iota of his stature - I would consider my life as blessed.

Physically , I am tall ( am 6 ft tall) , BMI of 24 , dark and handsome ( you must be thinking that I have borrowed the TDH - tall , dark and handsome) from the Mills and Boon series - Well ... I believe that Mills and Boon should be sued for borrowing from my persona, without paying me any royalty) .

I have played sports excelled in them and then well just became lazy. But once in a while , I play cricket, golf, squash , table tennis , swim , walk , go to the gym ( I hate this but sometimes dont have anything much better to do) .

Love the adrenalin that sports provide and the dopamine the other nocturnal activities provide. More about that later.

If there is one principal that I can actually implement in my life , I am sure that I will be blessed is
"Learn from your past, live in the present and dream about the future"

PHILOSOPHY

1) Learn from your past , live in the present, dream about the future.
2) Focus = You should know what you want and
3) Work like a maniac to achieve that.

The mother of all philosphy authored by me , would be soon appearing in a blog near you. And soon to be available in a book store next to you.
