People, I decided, make all the difference in one’s happiness and productivity at the workplace. And I was lucky enough to find a team made up of the best people.

My principle applies yet again when it comes to the blogging community. [Read more…] about A Blog Award and Why Blogging Community Rocks

It is only now, after nearly 8 years of on and off the mat yoga practice, growing, regressing, obsessing, trying, giving up, and returning again and again to yoga, that I am making a small breakthrough, one for which I dearly wish a permanent stay.
