The contrast


When I was denied love, I learnt to love unconditionally
When I was disapproved, I learnt self love and self acceptance
When I was humiliated, I learnt humility and compassion
When I was taken advantage of, I learnt to set healthy boundaries
When I was criticised harshly, I learnt not to judge
When I was refused all support and help, I learnt to be independent
When no one was there to provide for me or take care of me,  I became responsible and financially independent
When I was ignored, I became good listener
When I was suppressed, I learnt to stand up for myself
When i was labeled as worthless I found my worth
When I was gossiped about, I learnt not to form opinion about anyone based on someone else's point of view
When no one had faith in me or trusted my abilities, I learnt to trust myself and rely on my inner guidance system
When i experienced trauma and abuse, I discovered ways to heal others
When I was discriminated and oppressed, justice and fairness became fundamental principles of my being
When I witnessed hostlity, i became gentle
When I sensed hallowness, I became seeker of the truth
When I acknowledged emptiness in my heart, I found fullfillment
When i was surrounded by timid people, I discovered my strength
When I was restricted, i learnt to be free
When I faced my fears, i found courage
When I was lost,  I found my path
When i realized life is all about this contrast,  I started enjoying my journey!
When I started enjoying my journey,  I began to ask more,  believe more and receive more from the Universe!

Numerology - What kind of boss and team member you are 

Every number defines characteristics of our personality and there by role we play at work. To understand what kind of boss or co-worker / team mate you are, first calculate your core numbers i.e. Birth date number as well as life path number.

A Journey of Trust: Manifesting the Right School for My Child

Growing up, my emotional needs were often overlooked. On top of that, the traumatic experiences and challenging home environment of my childhood gave me a clear understanding of what I didn’t want for my future child and the kind of healthy and nurturing environment I wanted to create. Later in life, even before becoming a parent, I often found myself giving parenting advice to friends—helping them navigate challenges, understand different perspectives, strike a balance between being too strict or too lenient or gentle, and regulate their own emotions. They often wondered how I had such insight despite not having children of my own.  When I finally became a mother — after the painful loss of two newborn twins and navigating the emotional and physical toll of infertility treatments — I was excited to begin my parenting journey. But I quickly realized that I was unprepared for the unique challenges that lay ahead. My son, Dev, experienced developmental delays and exhibited possible s...

You are more than your Visiting Cards!

This has become my favorite topic of observation when I meet people. This is indeed a deep and multifaceted topic. One of the participants of my workshop Bhavana shared her experience how a young lady who was flaunting her dress, education as well as newly acquired corporate identity at wedding ceremony, stopped throwing attitude to her when she came to know Bhavana is a very senior Human Resource professional at renowned company. This incident made Bhavana contemplate on these questions why do I need this identity to be accepted and respected by people? Is this my only identity? Do my job or role defines me?  Am I not much more than my job? And what if tomorrow I choose to leave the company or job how will society perceive me? How true this is! Every time we are asked to introduce ourselves, we usually say our name and what we do i.e. our profession. Our society has unsaid fixed parameters of evaluating success of any person – education, job, company name, post, ...
