It is one of the most enduring of questions – what makes a life well-lived? While for some, the answer entails the accrual of wealth or power; for most of us, it lies in how we choose to experience the simpler pleasures and challenges of everyday events. Encompassed within this narrative are wisdom and insight collated from relatable, practical, and sometimes amusing incidents in an eventful life; from cherished memories of a happy childhood in 1950s Pune, through the experiences of a budding teenager attending a study-abroad program, to adulthood and maturity in the company of a husband, who was more than a companion, a teacher, a guide and above all, a friend, the author shares valuable lessons learned along the way. Integral to that learning has been her encounters with some of the finest teachers of Indian philosophy and culture, including the invaluable time spent at the Lotus feet of Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

If there was one word to describe the way I have lived my life thus far, it would be 'reinvention'. I have always believed that every day is an opportunity to recreate the past and improve it. In this book, I have shared many of those experiences-some that have strengthened my beliefs and others that have given me fresh perspectives to lead a fruitful life. It details my journey as an educationist and founder of Good Shepherd Institutions. It also traces my role in Rotary International, where I served in numerous capacities including Director-Rotary International.At every step in this event called life, I have counted my blessings, and always sought a chance to make a difference. If a reader, who is a dreamer like me, picks up some threads from these pages and if a grander vision could come out of it, I will consider my promise to my God well kept.
