WHEN YOUR RIVER RUNS DRY
When you board an aeroplane, the cabin crew always give a list of instructions to follow for safety during the flight. ‘Use your seatbelt’. ‘Stow away your tray after use’. ‘In the event of an emergency, please put on your oxygen mask first before you assist someone. These rules hold true not just in a […]
SOMETIMES LEADERSHIP IS POTTY TRAINING: LESSONS FROM MY TWO-YEAR-OLD

My Everyday Life: A day at the Gym!
I recently joined a gym- again. This time, I joined for a totally different reason than I did the last time. With my priorities elsewhere, I had been struggling with consistency.

Will You Be My Henry?
Henry Winkler is a Hollywood actor with over three Emmy nominations. He is an actor, producer, writer and director. My personal favourite is that he helped develop the series ‘MacGyver’, the all round action man who made the movie ‘Die Hard’ look like kindergarten. Henry Winkler was popular for playing the role of Fonzi in the series […]
