Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence. - Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar
Sometimes listen into the pauses. They say the essence of the story. The words you hear are simply the veil. But yes, They are story too. What u want to believe is still your truth.
What counts is not the complexity or the enormity of the task, but the size of the courage it takes, to pull it off….
Excellence is not being better than others, but being better than what you used to be.
Only mankind is interested in results. Nature and providence only see Intention and effort.
One's struggle is to constantly bridge the gap between what you want to be & what you are! The moment the gap disappears, everything is beautifully simple & effortless.
Don’t polish your ignorance, it may shine.

As a Psychotherapist
I believe empathy is an essential ingredient for successful therapy. Empathy allows one to step into others’ stories and experience their worlds with them so that we can forge strong bonds to build an effective relationship that allows us to journey with them. Hence, my therapeutic space and interactions are centred around empathy and non-judgement.
