Owe it to Everyone who has helped shape the course of my Life - My Profession has helped me contribute in a small way towards Civil Society. My take-home has been deriving a huge amount of satisfaction - probably more so - than my Professional Achievements. My thanks to a dedicated family; selfless friends and many mentors & seniors who encouraged and guided my proactive baby steps, without whom not much could have been achieved.
The Aim and Guiding Principle - is to Strike a Balance between PERSONAL & SOCIAL LIFE and in Activism seek Equilibrium in POLICY & CIVIL SOCIETY. The idea is not to oppose everything but to research and find workable solutions. Opposition for the sake of opposition takes us nowhere.
