About me
I grew up in a large family in India, full of love and laughter. My circle of crazy family and friends grew larger as I went through college and work, When I moved to the US, the axis shifted from a busy life to a very quiet (to start with) life in Southern California. As I explored the new world and built new friends and family, I constantly struggled to balance my life in India and life in the US. Over a decade, I have learnt to cherish the chat over chai as much as the very American watery morning coffee. My home is filled with diyas every October and a big christmas tree every December.
Through these twists and turns, I realised that I yearn to discover who the new me is. I have struggled to balance the two worlds. But today, I am incomplete without either of them.
​
Today, our worlds pull us in different directions constantly - choosing to focus on family or a career, choosing adventure or financial safety, a quiet evening at home or a night out with friends. And in all these different roles we play, we tend to lose ourselves.
​
Coaching and mentoring have helped me look for a balance between the different parts of me.
Outside of work, I love to travel. The ocean is my meditation. I would go a long way for a scoop of good chocolate ice cream. And I love a road trip!
