Books I am Reading

Philanthropist

If you have experienced hunger, you know that having food is a miracle. If you have experienced extreme cold, you know the preciousness of warmth. When you have suffered, you know how to appreciate the elements of paradise that are present… – Tich Nhat Hanh, in “The heart of the Buddha’s Teaching”
In same way, we need to value every small element and human on this earth and enjoy the wonders of life by helping each other. Advait’s principle evolves on this line and extends the help to needy ones in rough times.

My work has taken me to most of the geographies and the variety of engagements allowed me to find my true passions and determine where to focus my attention.This environment has taught me how to work with people from the most diverse set of backgrounds which includes enterprise customers to governments to help achieve their vision.
