Reflections from February
A young woman inherited a gorgeous garden from her grandmother. She loved gardening and was proud of her garden. One day, she saw a beautiful plant in a catalogue and wanted to grow it in her garden. She ordered it and planted it at the base of the stonewall in her backyard. She took great […]
My lessons from January
Do you know the story about the hare and the tortoise? Once, a hare and a tortoise decided to have a race to see who was the quickest. The hare was super confident of his speed and laughed at the tortoise for even participating in the race. The tortoise on the other hand decided to […]
Your roadmap to 2021
Happy New Year Folks! Another year to do all the things you want. My son spends quite some time on his laptop (as do most teenagers), but he also has a lot of knowledge about random interesting facts. We were talking the other day and he mentioned about the fourth dimension. In the simplest of […]
How to navigate uncertainty like a pro
Life is not always a bed of roses, for sure. There are ups and downs and this is what makes the journey interesting. The year 2020 has been a testament to this – many people lost their loved ones, many more lost their jobs. Entrepreneurs who had spent their lives building something from scratch had […]
Frustrated with all the negativity?

‘Now’ is the best time to reinvent your finances
If you’ve known me long enough, you know that I’m so passionate about kyn (know your numbers). Tracking your cash flow (income vs spending) is the first step to growing your wealth. And unless your cash flow is positive, you can’t have financial freedom (yes, even investing and spending money on fun things needs surplus […]
Feel the fear and do it anyway
Does fear stop you from achieving something that you really want? Let me share my story…. Growing up in India, as girls, we were not allowed to express our opinions on a lot of things. Why? Because we were girls, we had to be obedient and good girls never spoke up. My parents were open […]
