My conversations with God and with Life.

Growing up in a traditional Sikh home, very often I was curious about “God”. Every birthday was celebrated at home with “Paath”- some readings and sermons from the Granth Saheb , beautifully explained by my most favourite and adored person on earth - My Bhabhiji ( grandmother). The vision is still very clear in my head -

Her “Avatar” with her white dupatta covering her head and reading in a lovely melodious voice and explaining the message to us as kids. Then ofcourse we were rewarded with the “kada Prasad”.

After which we were free to celebrate as we chose.

So the curiosity started early. The urge to understand the messages from the Divine. The desire to receive the messages. To find a guide and mentor who could take me deeper and further.

Life ofcourse has its own lessons we are here to learn.

Losing my father to cancer and soon after my grandmother, left me dejected and angry and the quest to further deepen my understanding for life.

Why did this happen to my dad ?

Where was he after he passed into light ? What would he want to say to me now from the other side ? What awaits each of us - at the end of this life ? Why am I here ?

I read a book that took me deeper - DIE TO LIVE - it was called , and

As you ask questions - life provides answers.

In the form of friends, gurus, guides, mentors, and healing techniques and teachers.

Life is continual learning , growth, experiences and evolvement And we are all - Work in Progress.

Blessed are those who find themselves embraced and who can embrace life in all its hues and forms and colours.

Loss is inevitable and life often hurts.

What you do with the losses and pains is what makes you or breaks you.

The wound is where the Light enters. Said Rumi.

I’ve learnt that Forgiveness is key to growth.

Let Go. Let God. That Is a truly empowering mantra to live life by.

If you feel the same - if you have some valuable nuggets of wisdom and experience you would love to share - let’s create a space together to do that. Empowering each other.

I was fortunate to find along the way friends and mentors- the wind beneath my wings - who helped me rise.

I wish to be able to provide the same space to others.

My journey with Cancer patients has been gratifying. It has been a commitment to make another person feel stronger through their battle with cancer.

But as I worked with them, and as we faced challenges at home with long term caretaking, what really mattered was to be able to help the caregivers too.

The person who is out there for you. Who no one thinks about.

I’ve seen parents. Spouses . Siblings. Friends, going beyond the call of duty - sometimes for long periods of time - and I’ve seen them struggle. I’ve seen them break.ive seen them rise again. I’ve seen them survive. I’ve seen them grieve. I’ve seen them grow.

And mostly it was done in silence.

My heart goes out to the warriors. The team that goes through long struggles of health and of survival.

And I’m here to offer them a safe space.

For some Respite. Rest. Healing. Comfort.

Some time off. Some time to talk.

And maybe just take a little break.

If you are a caregiver -short term or long, let’s connect.

Let’s build a community together.

Let’s share our hopes and our fears.

Let’s walk the path together.
