The beginning…

She fascinates me. For a few years now I have been watching this young woman very closely; as she breezed through life, spoke to people, wove her magic and made an indelible impression in the listeners heart, as she smashed through every obstacle that blocked her way and walked steadily towards her goal, as accolades came her way and fame walked in through the back door- all the while my eyes were on her. And the more I watch the more my fascination increases. All that I see makes me fall hopelessly, desperately, passionately in love with her. I enjoy the way she thinks, the words she speaks, her style, her personality, her smile, her beauty oh, everything about her! She is my best friend and I love her like crazy.

Yet there was a time when she was my worst enemy! I hated this young woman with all my heart. I despised her. I detested the way she thought, the words she spoke, her style, her personality, her smile, her uglyness, everything about her! She kept ruining my life at every opportunity. She was a pain in the neck at all times and I tried, almost frantically at times, to get rid of her. I was ashamed to be with her but could do nothing about it since destiny had willed that I be her shadow at all times. For you see, this young woman was, and is none other than MY OWN SELF!

This is no ugly duckling story! The duck didn’t have to change into a swan to fall in love with itself. Nor is this a narcissus complex of self obsession in the making. Instead I made friends with my worst possible enemy, myself. And life has been one hell of a celebration ever since! (Or should I say one heaven of a celebration?)

The love affair with myself began when I dropped out of school. I had enough of the endless competitions and comparisons. Yeah, the losers mindset exactly! But my saving grace had been a deep seated thirst and desire to study the human mind in all its games. So I took the path less trodden and dediacted myself towards self realisation. Thus it is that I have spent the previous thirteen years as a spiritual guide studying myself, the people around me and humanity at large. This voyage towards crossing the last frontier- the mind - is surely the most fulfilling life journeys one could have, as it is in my case.  My life of renunciation has drawn to a close and now I begin in this world as a marketing manager for a great company. Even as i experience life in all its colors, I am also passionate about coaching every human being fall deeply in love with themselves, to make friends with the enemy, to experience and enjoy themselves in incredible ways.

This website is a record for my celebration of life. Here I will chronicle all my observations - from marketing to marriage, achievement and excellence, learning to unlearning, living and loving, in short everything that catches my fancy in this topsy turvy fun world. Be with me in this party. Enjoy yourself and let us together learn to live life intensely even as we learn to play through it!

Welcome aboard!
