Growing up in a small town in Bandel, India, I adored listening to my mother while she read me timeless classics of Sherlock Holmes, Feluda, or Indian folk tales of Tenali Raman, Gopalbhar, and Birbal. The quintessential stories of underdogs relying on their wits to turn the tide in their favor. And I will never forget when she used to turn to me and say, "Never underestimate what your mind is capable of when it is calm and composed."

​

In school, we were taught of mindfulness meditation, and over the years as life progressed and responsibilities increased, I found myself turning more and more to meditation for relaxing my mind.

After completing my studies from the Indian Institute of Management, I currently reside in Kolkata, the City of Joy in India where I am working as a strategy and implementation consultant with the Big 4 firms.

And I am here to share my learnings over the years, with you, with the hope that you get some value in your lives out of it. You can also connect with me one-on-one. Simply drop your thoughts in the form below.

But wait a second.. Learnings about what, Anish?

​

Well, my posts broadly center around 3 topics:

1. Storytelling - The art of telling a tale and captivating an audience, not to mention the skills of reading, thinking, and analyzing a story or a problem. You may often read 'Travel Stories' or 'Zen Teachings' on my Blog with short anecdotes in them.

2. Career and Consulting - This involves me talking about soft skills such as your conversation skills necessary to build meaningful relationships both at the workplace and in personal life. Or analytical skills such as the application of Pareto's Law in daily life. I have picked up these skills 

3. Zen Teachings - Most importantly, the bulk of my posts revolve around Zen and mental health. Where I learn from and write about living in the moment and finding happiness in what we do. Our imperfections being gracefully accepted by ourselves.
