I grew up in a culture surrounded by sexual repression. A subject too taboo to discuss openly in an environment where dating wasn’t even a topic of consideration. Which I found bizarre considering my ancestors nurtured a land of spiritual liberation and sexual expression and exploration, India. Sex is an act we should discuss more openly and practice more freely, because […]
A Rude Awakening… When you realize you’ve been living your life controlled by perceived perception. When you realize how much work it takes to feel significant and how simple it can be.

Sometimes I feel like I’m standing in a shallow sea just as the sun is about to set and the tide about to rise. Although I may feel content and happy where I am, I’m merely moments away from a bad situation and if I don’t do something soon, I’ll be stuck here wishing I […]
Preparation is a wonderful motivator when you’re aiming for an aspiration beyond your current means. The best example I have to offer is travel; I have so many people contacting me about finding the courage to give up their day job to travel.
