You know, the best & the strange most thing about inspiration –

It can come from any nook or corner. Sometimes when you are least attentive. Remember those short two liner Dohas from Hindi literature classes during school days? Back then, I mugged them (like so many others) to pass my exams. Today, I spend hours researching them for my Corporate Events because of the sheer brevity of inspiration contained in them.

I made one of my most entertaining Events for Youth & College students on learning English; completely by chance!

Was experimenting with a few Bollywood videos & English words combined. And there I had! Bollycabulary i.e Bollywood + Vocabulary. Trust me, it is more fun & value additive than it sounds. I make sure my audience goes back with 100 forever memorized words in 100 minutes! People buy & learn from a point of emotional contact & what better than Munni’s, Sheila’s, Cricket, Advertisements etc to learn from.

‘It is a baby Boy’ – my mother told me 9+ yrs back on phone. I was in Mumbai then & I just jumped ran to catch the next flight home (Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh). It was 50 parts joy & 50 parts fear of the unknown (Because like with my new phone; I did not get an instructions manual along with the child). I have been a parent for the almost 10 years now. Nothing & no one can prepare you for an awesome parenthood. There are no courses. Only lessons learned from your own mistakes. No one else’s.
