Free-spirited and self-motivated individual who depends on no one but self, one who always prefers to listen to the heart rather than the mind. Being innovative and thinking out of the box is the regular thought process and one who takes great pride in being a woman is what I am all about. Every day is a celebration of this woman-hood and I consider life as a journey of experiences, a mixed bag of good and the bad, the lessons learnt from it enriches my soul encouraging me to cross my own milestones. I strongly believe that every woman should be liberated in her mind and thoughts and be independent enough to decide for herself. I aim to enrich the lives of other women by sharing my own insights about life and to motivate them to believe in themselves, as I believe in the power of affirmation and conviction which are the primary constituents that carve out a path for a meaningful life. I believe in the law of attraction which states that we attract whatever we feel, so in order to conquer our fears and inhibitions in life, we must think positive to attract and emanate positive energy at all times.
