Chief Inspirational Storyteller @AL Services

During the first half of my life, I often told limiting stories to myself.  During second half, I wish to share inspiring stories with the world.

Used to wear minus 6 spectacles in Class 1

Avoided in outdoor sports teams

Doctor told me to quit studying after Class 10th.

But I loved books and writing.

Early Childhood

Life left me with no option but to prove the doctor's warning wrong.   Used alternate healing therapies successfully to stop further deterioration of eyesight

Early Childhood

Did my MBA in Marketing and began the rat race with nothing better to do. Lost my creativity in the pressures of the corporate world and rat race

The Rat Race

Except for the courage to continue my education against medical advice, I was living an ordinary life.

A major twist came, when I was introduced to the science of meditation. 

Regaining My Lost Creativity

Not only regained my lost creativity with meditation, but my writings began to draw deep inspiration from nature, people and events around me. Meanwhile doctorate in media marketing exposed me to the power of social and online media

Regaining My Lost Creativity

Social Media Success = Mindful Content + Passionate Engagement + Heartfelt Collaboration 

How I created this formula is an interesting story in itself 

Finding My Direction

Finding My Direction

And one fine day, I realized the immense power of stories to Inspire people l Energize action l Connect emotionally,

Build reputation l Entertain us at the same time

WHAT WE UNCONSCIOUSLY DO IS WHAT WE ARE

BORN TO DO.

As a child I was an unconscious storyteller.

I loved the case study method which is

nothing but storytelling.

Started my blog with an anecdote (short true

story).

As a teacher-trainer also, I had used stories

frequently. 

Unearthing My Life’s Purpose

My first book was about the

story of TV news in India.

My second book has plenty of

stories from my life and the

lessons which they brought.

Unearthing My Life’s Purpose

I had not realised that storytelling is the final piece in life’s jigsaw as it combines my •  Passions (writing, inspiring),

•  Strengths (empathy, human psychology) and

•  Education/experience (marketing, branding) together.

Unearthing My Life’s Purpose

I began to connect the dots backwards and understood how my education, jobs and life experiences had together led me to this path.  Was it a conspiracy of the Universe? The hints from universe proved that I was on the right track.

The Conspiracy

Within first year of my entrepreneurial journey, I received series of pleasant shocks:-

Pinstorm included me in the 100 Most Influential Indians Online

Forbes.com linked to my story on “How I discovered my deepest passion?” on merinews.com

A Hindustan Times, Mumbai story on social media and personal branding included me
