“Have you ever seen lightning strike water, and electrocute life beneath?” “Not yet.” The fortune-teller spoke with a furrowed brow, “I foresee a clash of strong, opposing forces happening in your life, in the near future.” I recall the legal notice sent by the brother I trusted most in life, over an inheritance issue.

Collapse is something strong people don’t let happen. She walks on, unwanted and unloved, telling herself that she doesn’t need anyone. Her biggest strength is that she can live alone.

“It is the Three Chairs exercise, which yields amazing results.” “We are only two here,” my coachee looked puzzled. “I’ll disappear. Face your demons or call your angels.

She had come a long way. The baby girl who survived being thrown against the wall in her infancy, the girl who borrowed books to quench her thirst for learning, the girl who ran away from home to find a new life and landed in a brothel, the girl who poisoned the ‘madam’ to get … Continue reading She won the battle
She aced cricket, topped the class in Mechanical Engineering, and moved on to become CEO of a company. Our friends teasingly refer to me as Prince Philip, the one who walks a step behind his wife.
