I was about 5 years old when I started learning Classical Indian Dance. And a year later I had the opportunity to be part of a very big dance production, and played the role of Little Krishna (one of the most revered avatars of primordial PRESERVER deity of India – Vishnu). It was a very simple role yet it was so important right till the end of the dance presentation.

All I had to do was stand there and everybody danced around me and used my presence to depict various stories around this character.

I was fascinated by the impact of this single character and how even very senior dancers showcased their choreography and received lot of acclaim, in that dance production. From that very young age, I decided that every time I am around people, I should make them happy and others should always feel good in my presence. I remember I continued this approach well into my teens.

Towards the end of my teens and also into young adulthood, with all the madness to achieve and compete in this world, I had lost this inspiration, that had truly moulded me as a child. Life went on…until, I was able to bring this inspiration back into my life, when I became an #executivecoach . I realised that in coaching, It WAS NOT about me and my smartness, but always about My COACHEE AND their greatness. Once again, I was able to make others truly feel elevated in my presence. Happy to be the Little Krishna Again!
