About Us

Let’s Kick off the Party!

Imagine the bustling streets of Delhi, where every sense is heightened by the city’s vibrant energy. It was here that I was born, a place where survival demanded a keen awareness of the world around me. My journey took me from the heart of India to the opulent sands of Dubai. Dubai wasn’t just another stop—it was where I married my love, welcomed my son, and savored the perks of a tax-free salary. A brief sojourn in Doha followed, adding more chapters to my already rich narrative.

Now, I have made Toronto my permanent home. Here, I live with my wife and son, my son doubling as my best friend and harshest critic. Despite my discomfort talking about myself, I acknowledge the necessity of an About page. It’s not about my journey alone but what I can offer to you.

My Journey: from Delhi to Toronto

For over 20 years, I have worn many hats—teacher, trainer, consultant—across continents and industries. My corporate voyage spans aviation, banking, and more, from the bustling lanes of Delhi to the skyscrapers of Dubai, the sands of Doha, and now the multicultural mosaic of Toronto. Armed with an MBA from the University of Leicester, specializing in Performance Management and Total Quality Management, and a plethora of certifications, including a diploma in teaching and training, supervisory management, and Kepner-Tregoe Problem-Solving and decision-making skills, I am also a certified meditation teacher.

The Heart of Personal Growth

My passion for learning is boundless. My journey has covered Sales, Marketing, Software, Leadership, Revenue Management, Customer Relationships, eLearning, and Virtual Learning. I’m a perpetual learner, synthesizer, and creator, driven by the pursuit of a fully optimized life. I treasure nuggets of wisdom that pave the way to happiness, distilling the best into pure, punchy, and practical advice.

A Philosopher at Heart

When asked about my profession, I describe myself as a philosopher—someone who makes sense of life and communicates his insights. The term “philosopher” resonates deeply with me, rooted in the Greek “Philo,” meaning brotherly love, and “Sophia,” meaning wisdom. My website is a snapshot of my evolving thoughts, shaped by experiences, successes, and scars. Through my work, I aim to offer resonant insights that help others navigate their paths.

Discovering Peace Through Meditation

My foray into meditation began eight years ago, during my father’s terminal illness. In my quest for solace, I discovered meditation—a decision that transformed my life. I learned that peace isn’t found in acquiring or doing but in being. This profound realization enabled me to redefine my challenges and embrace a life of tranquility. Though I follow a specific meditation style, I respect all traditions, believing in the power of meditation to harmonize mind and body.

Vertical Meets the Horizontal

From birth, we explore the external world—the horizontal plane of space and time. Yet, an inner world exists independently of these constraints—the vertical plane of thoughts, desires, and imagination. Meditation bridges these planes, expanding our sense of self. By balancing breath and mind, we can navigate both realms, enriching our lives and those around us.

Life Lessons from Bad Decisions

My journey includes both triumphs and colossal failures. I believe the difference between success and failure is often slim. Every experience contributes to our personal book of life. I emphasize the importance of logical and common-sense-based decisions, surrounding oneself with wisdom, and respecting the body. Knowledge without wisdom is futile, and action is imperative, for inaction, too, has consequences.

Five Questions to Stay on Track

Inspired by Robert Ringer’s philosophy of rational living, I adhere to five guiding questions:

1. What do I love doing? Discovering one’s passion, regardless of financial gain.

2. What is my strength? Identifying and leveraging inherent talents.

3. What do I want out of life? Setting overarching goals for continuous growth.

4. What’s the cost of what I want? Weighing the price of aspirations.

5. Am I willing to pay the price? Assessing readiness for sacrifices.

Immediate Actions for Transformation

I pose two final questions for immediate impact:

1. What is the number one thing you could start doing today that would profoundly affect your life?

2. What is the number one thing you could stop doing now that would significantly impact your life?
