About Me
I'm joining Service Space because ... I want to live each day selflessly for a cause for others.
A good day to me is when ... When i see a new leaf or a flower bloom, When birds come to my window sil for water or grain and so many more and lastly When i breathe....a full breathe.
My hero in life is ...Many in our day to day life. For eg. My simply clad gardener who unknowingly showed me a path which I was searching for long without asking.
My favorite book is ...The Monk who sold his Ferrari
One thing I'm grateful for is ... This day that I am living...

As is my regular practice, I finish up cooking in the first half of the day, then tidy up the kitchen, and close with the rest of the daily chores. On this day, 10 people had RSVP'd and everything was planned accordingly.
Then, at 4PM, I got a call from an attendee saying that he 7 visitors from Chandigarh are coming! I was suddenly flustered -- what to do now? It's already past 4PM and I'm not sure how to cook for 7 more people. As I try to be still, my neighbor Chumiki (also a regular at Awakin) calls for some small issue and asks, "Can I make pulav (a rice dish) for the evening?" It was as if the universe was listening in. I tell her ... Read Full Story
