Enlarge. Excel. Evolve.

I have been running a Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam (The World is a Family in Sanskrit ) Interview series on my Blog for past 2 years and have interviewed more than 50 people in the series from all parts of the world. It has given me a wonderful opportunity to interact with thought leaders, pioneers and other great professionals from across the world. These people have either emerged (or fast emerging) as Global Leaders and have Enlarged, Excelled and Evolved into Global Personal Brands too. They are interesting role models for those who want to become global leaders. These interviews will give you interesting insights about global mindsets and how spirituality has guided most of these professionals in deeply passionate journeys with respect for all religions, cultures and nations.

( Dr Karan Singh, Indian Parliamentarian, Statesman & renowned Thinker releasing the book at India International Centre, New Delhi. Others include-left to right; Raja Choudhury, Renowned Filmmaker, Dr Amit Nagpal, Author and Sh Satpalji Maharaj, Indian MP) Do we need a little more JOY in our lives? I think all of us are going to say a loud YES. Background Life has unbounded possibilities and jubilation comes in many sizes and guises. Happiness is all about attitude, attitude of finding joy in small things and small wonders of nature. Some of the biggest sources of happiness like watching the sea, falling in love, holding a baby in your arms and so on come absolutely free.  The book was conceptualized in a brainstorming session with a friend (Ashish Bhagwat) and  is designed to be a holistic guide to living joyfully. It is not only a life manual in some ways but also intends to create a paradigm shift in our attitude towards happi...

Simultaneous, Sympathetic Death Mother’s dying symptoms experienced unexpectedly 5000 miles away In England, American counsellor and author, Annie Cap was unexpectedly overcome by the symptoms of her dying mother. In her final moments of life, Betty, in a hospital in Portland, Oregon, somehow managed to connect with her daughter overseas. At work, Annie suddenly began to choke. Coughing uncontrollably and finding it difficult to breathe she was forced to ask her client to leave. She telephoned her mother’s hospital room and when her sister answered she could hear her mother’s laboured breathing in the background. Although Annie didn’t understand what was going on, she realized immediately what had just happened – her mother had mysteriously linked in with her (attempting to reach her one last time perhaps) and had caused Annie to feel her dying symptoms. This led Cap on a trail of exploration, to not only understand how it was possible that she had shared in her mother’s...

1) Annie, your personal motto since you were about 11 has been Carpe Diem....Seize the day. How do you seize the day? Although, I’ve never articulated my personal meaning or Carpe Diem to anyone before, not even to myself, “seize the day” has always been about truly living each day to the fullest. It’s about being able to see and enjoy what is presented and possible. This motto has become even more significant to me as I’ve matured. It has been a reminder to attempt a life without fear. Carpe Diem says to me to reach for liveliness or just be-ing-ness. It’s being clear enough in one’s self to be able to live in the moment – fearlessly on purpose. Whilst at eleven or even forty I hadn’t yet heard the philosophy of “living in the moment”, I must have intuitively known its importance and set it as the intention through this motto. To me, Carpe Diem-styled activity is that which brings me closer to a state of joy and timelessness; either when in the process of experiencing it or after ...
