A Cross Road in Life

Have you ever wondered what your doing with your life,?
Like really stopped for a moment and 
reflected about where you’re heading;
If all the efforts that your putting in,
Running from pillar to post; 
meeting this deadline and the next one
Is taking you anywhere?
I’m sure we all have held a similar feeling
 at some point of time in our lives.
Is this life that we are living truly making us happy, 
or are we just too busy chasing countless dreams 
to even reflect back on our own wellbeing, 
our own happiness?
Common questions that seem to float around these days are
 ‘So what are you doing with your life’ and ‘Have you been promoted’
But,
 what we fail to pay attention to is how happy we are with ourselves.
It all boils down to the job that we have and how much money we make,
Because that's just the way it is, we are living in a rats race where the only thing that takes us forward is money!
And we will go to any extent to find that job which provides that to us.
However, we need balance in our lives. 
No matter how small our job may be, or how different it may seem from another person’s job we just have to do what’s right for ourselves!!

We have to fit our bill according to what we are CAPABLE of doing and not what another person is capable of.
Too often we compare ourselves with others and feel that we are not good enough,
When the reality is that, we all are unique and different
 playing a part in this journey of life what we are capable of!
So the next time you ever think back and ask yourself if you are good enough or doing enough
Don't compare yourself with another person, 
because that's futile and pointless. We aren’t the same
The only person who you should consider comparing yourself with is the person you were YESTERDAY.

Keep challenging yourself every day and your life will be far happier than a one where you’re constantly comparing yourself with others.

Karina Pandya in Conversation with Co-Founder of the Banyan, Dr. Vandana Gopikumar

An incident of coming across a homeless and mentally ill woman in distress on the road in front of her college in Chennai paved the route for Vandana Gopikumar to establish one of the leading NGOs in the field of mental health – The Banyan. While she was yet a Master’s student of Social Work, Vandana along with a close friend Vaishnavi Jayakumar encountered several other incidents of not being able to find the right shelter and mental institution for a woman in need of medical and psychiatric attention.     The Banyan, which was established in 1993 has been a one-stop destination to not only rescue, and rehabilitate but also treat mentally ill women from low-income groups. Vandana Gopikumar has pioneered a movement, helping thousands of individuals not only reintegrate into society but also secure long-term medical treatment.    Not only is she the co-founder of the NGO – The Banyan, but is also the co-founder of The Banyan Academy of Leadership (BALM). She is also a member of the advi

NGO Meet Becomes a Fulcrum of Mutual Help

  “There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.”  --Helen Keller   There are numerous social causes which would remain otherwise ignored if it were not for the Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) contributing to the cause. January 6th, Saturday saw the coming together of 25-30 NGOs to provide a single platform for mutual help and support. It was organised by the founder trustee of Karmayog – Vinay Somani to discuss strategic planning for social and civic causes.          A Buffet of Purposes: Maybe You're Lost, Maybe You Aren’t. Maybe You’re Meandering with Meaning     Whether it is raising funds, strategy planning, content writing, or volunteering; there are numerous ways by which people can contribute to the welfare of an NGO.    Dr Dhyanraj Patkar, whose Narmada Kidney Foundation works to create awareness about kidney disease said that 6100 people were on the wait list for a kidney transplant in 2023 in Maharashtra bu

A Boutique Passport to New York

New York, the city that NEVER sleeps is one of the most sought-after hotspots for fashionistas across the world.     With astonishingly tall buildings which rise up to a couple of thousand feet in the air, creating a beautiful New York Skyline, New York is home to some of the most popular brands across the world such as Macy’s, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Burberry, Valentino, Kate Spade, Fendi, Coach, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Huckberry, Nordstrom NYC and many others there are plenty of innovative retailers and retail trends to choose from. However, New York has not always been the fashion capital of the world.  Paris, Milan and London have always been known worldwide for the most influential fashion trend. New only emerged as a fashion capital post World War II when New York’s garment district became a vanguard of a different type.      There were designers in New York who challenged the Parisian couture by introducing sportswear into the high fashion world in the 194 0s and 1950s.
