The CEOs in my life

Today's Mother's Day. My mom is my original Tiktok and WhatsApp - the source of unending stories, common sense and wisdom. This would normally be in response to "What's cooking?". She is also my first tutor, counsellor, editorial critic, motivational speaker, employment consultant, and much more. She is the one who plied me with book after book to read. Her words to me when I was about 11: "God has given you a good mind. Use it well."

My mom, and my dad, are also my first CEOs. I have realized that one can meander through life and work very successfully following just one simple maxim - make your parents happy and proud.

Their work ethic is amazing - starting every day at 5 am with 60 minutes of yoga and meditation. Two months ago, when I was with them, I stepped out of home for an early morning walk. When I returned, I found the door to their home ajar - they didn't want to be disturbed.

Having said that, I must doff my hat to my dad too. Nearly 40 years ago, he had told me about saving & economy: If you need two matchsticks to light a candle, you have wasted one matchstick!

He is 14 days from his 80th birthday and refuses to retire ... may be because mom is beside him.

I dedicate my career to my mom and also to the moms of all those who trust me, who let me be and who share their time with me.
