Just like moons and like the sun,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I rise !!
- Maya Angelou
"Life has a funny way of surprising us with unexpected twists and turns, but I've learned to embrace those beautiful curveballs it throws my way. It's a delicate dance of knowing when to seize the opportunities presented to me and when to gracefully navigate the challenges that come my way.
In those moments when it feels like I'm standing alone, without anyone by my side, I find solace in the fact that I always have my hope. It's a powerful force that propels me forward, reminding me of my inner strength and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead."

WHO AM I?
As a person I'm someone who always wants to know everything. I like to ask the why and how for all the things I do. I think I am someone who has grown up with a lot of curiosity within so that curiosity is seen in my work and the way I live my life. I am always “are you content in life?” asking kind of person. My focus for myself and others always has been on not being happy but more with being content with the way you are creating your life. Happiness is quite subjective and it is more of a way of thinking rather than something you find in people or things. You cannot always be happy, but your decisions can make you content in life. This contentment comes with a peace within that is not contingent upon anyone or anything.
I always attempt to be a person who creates a life rather than just go with the flow of what is there in front of me.
For me sunsets have always evoked a calming and serene pause within, asking me look at how I have lived another wonderful day... You lived another wonderful day and can look forward to something more beautiful than this. Sunsets and skies just evoke a sense of hope and with that comes a lot of possibilities. Hope that no matter how the day ended today, tomorrow is another new day filled with new challenges, blocks that you can overcome just to gaze at the wonderment that sunsets have to offer.
You must be wondering why I chose this profession. I am an Industrial Psychologist, counselor, and teacher. The diversity of human behavior in different contexts has always fascinated me, and it led me to pursue a career in psychology. Understanding why individuals behave the way they do has been my primary focus. I firmly believe that my life experiences have equipped me to assist those who are in need of guidance in discovering their own unique paths.
The power of belief has always been a fundamental principle that guides my work. Over the past three years, I have witnessed firsthand how individuals can unlock their potential for change once they truly believe in themselves. Sometimes, it becomes my responsibility to instill that belief and provide them with the necessary encouragement to create the life they truly desire.
My approach to life has always been to create a life that when you look back, you can say, "yes that’s a story I wrote and it’s filled with amazing and kind characters, picturesque locations and brimmed with love and laughter till the end. It is messy, it is raw and it is full of me and the abundance of memories that I collected on my journey of life."
