A Thanksgiving Tribute: Grateful for Every Hand That Shaped TGV’s Journey

On this beautiful Thanksgiving Day, my heart overflows with gratitude for the incredible journey of The Guiding Voice (TGV) over the past 4.5 years. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support, belief, and love from so many amazing souls.

To my family, thank you for being my rock. Your encouragement and patience have been the foundation of everything I’ve achieved with TGV. You stood by me during every challenge, celebrated every success, and reminded me why this mission matters.

To the guests who joined the podcast, thank you for sharing your valuable time and insights. Your wisdom continues to inspire our listeners, transforming lives and making the world a better place.

To the potential guests who couldn’t join for various reasons, you’ve taught me resilience and strengthened my determination to aim higher and push boundaries. For that, I am deeply thankful.

To the TGV core team, your belief in my vision and relentless contributions have elevated TGV into the world’s only quintilingual podcast. You are the lifeblood of this initiative, and I’m blessed to have you by my side.

To the TGV inner circle members, your cheerleading, networking, and support have connected me with extraordinary individuals worldwide. You’ve amplified TGV’s reach and impact far beyond what I could have imagined.

To the Jury members of the Asia Podcast Awards 2024, Rex Karmaveer Chakra Awards, and Fellowship 2024-25, and the curators of the TEDx talk at VJIT, your recognition and encouragement have fueled my passion and validated TGV’s purpose.

I am immensely grateful for the incredible new friends I met this year at award functions, TEDx event, and various networking gatherings. These connections have enriched my professional journey and added vibrant colors to my personal life. Their inspiring stories, diverse perspectives, and unwavering support remind me of the endless possibilities of meaningful relationships.

To the community members, thank you for sharing our work and being the torchbearers of our mission. Your support keeps us striving for excellence.

And finally, to the universe, thank you for conspiring to provide me with the resources, grit, and passion to move forward. Every step of this journey feels like a beautifully crafted destiny.

As I reflect on these 4.5 years, I am reminded of the power of collective effort, belief, and gratitude. Together, we’ve created something extraordinary, and I am deeply thankful to each of you for being part of this journey.

Here’s to continued growth, shared dreams, and making the world a better place—one conversation at a time.
