Here is
an interview, where she talks about herself, her work, her thoughts and the way
she wants her life to be.
How do you juggle
between all the works you do? How do you manage to do everything so perfectly?
I am a
person who wants to do everything at a time. I have my set of to do’s and I
make sure I complete all of them. I also have a calendar app which helps me make
sure that all the work is done. In this way all my things are sorted and I
don’t have to take much tension.
They say’ Your
morning describes the way your day will go on’! So how is it that you start
your day?
I make
sure that my mornings are peaceful and that I have my ‘ME’ time. I wake up
early, plug into music and go for a run. I then do yoga to calm my mind and
then spend some time with the family. I also make sure I read a little in the
morning. This kind of a start to my day fills me up with energy and a lot of
positivity which in turn helps me in managing my work.
You have done the
Youth Empowerment Program (YEP course). How has that helped in molding your
life?
The YEP
course has been my best decision in life. I am so glad I did it. It helped me transform
from a shy, timid and unconfident girl to a confident, fearless and bold
individual. It has given me the opportunity to manage big events, explore more
and also to keep learning.
You have been
permitted to start a not for profit organization. Can you throw some light on
that?
Yes
that is true. This nonprofit organization is called YELL(Young Empowered Local
Leaders). It will be initiated soon. YELL is an organization to empower and
motivate India’s youth to look at ‘Being an employeR’ as an option. It will
consist of various projects, skill development activities, talks and workshops
related to idea development and entrepreneurship.
If given an
opportunity, what is that one thing that you’d like to alter in your life?
I have
been too packed with work lately. Not that I hate my work. That way my work
gives me immense satisfaction. It sometimes happens that this work takes over
my time so much that I don’t have time to do the little things in life like
reading, watching a refreshing movies or catching up with a friend. So the one
thing that I am attempting to do this year is to give time for myself and enjoy
life. Because work is not the only thing that helps me learn. There are other
ways too.
Who is your model?
I have
different role models for different phases of my life. Professionally I really
look up to and admire Oprah winfrey. She is one lady who took charge of her
life. She never stepped back because of what people said / thought about her.
She was criticized and discouraged because of the way she looked. But she never
got by that and made sure she becomes one of the most famous TV show anchor.
Any incident that
you’d never forget in your life.
I had gone to Vietnam once with a friend of mine. We stayed
at a girl’s place. She had a small one bedroom flat with not many facilities.
She also had a little sister. In spite of the little space and facilities, she
proved to be a very good host. She took the best care and did all that she
could. Her story inspires me immensely. It was about how her mother was a war
refugee, got sent to Jail and still managed to bring up two daughters. The girl
is a college student and works at the same time to support her family. Her
story made me think that we are so caught up with the little problems we have
in life and don’t bother to see the bigger perspective.
Thank you Rohini! I had an amazing time with you! Hope you
liked it too! :D
