Over time, I’ve realised that self-awareness is often harder than understanding others. The more honestly we notice our patterns, reactions, and assumptions, the steadier our decisions and leadership become.

The last few days were genuinely special. What began as simple book signing stops turned into real conversations, warm smiles, and moments I will carry with me for a long time.

After the warmth and energy in Bangalore, I have a couple of book signing stops in Chennai. If you’re around, do drop by. It would be great to meet, reconnect, or simply share a quick hello in person.

It was a joy meeting Vrushali Kulkarni Sasmal for her podcast… an easy, free-flowing conversation that still nudged me to think deeper. The studio, the ambience, and her team’s energy made it a truly memorable experience.

I’ll be in Bangalore this Friday for a few quick book signing stops. If you’re around, drop by. No agenda, no formality, just a simple chance to meet, chat, and connect in person.

Some rituals stay long after their purpose fades. Before every meeting… even online… I still reach for a deo and a mouth freshener. It may not make sense anymore, but it helps me feel ready. And sometimes, that’s reason enough.
