TABOR KIRANA

All India Catholic Magazine. I write more of opinion pieces and not so much about religion. Because I believe religion is personal and one cannot impose ones opinions on others. Words being a powerful medium can influence people and I do not want to influence people's religious beliefs. 

The articles published in the Tabor Kirana are not available online and so I have published them on this blog. Will put up the links for them as well, though you can browse through the blog and find them.

WISEOWL

Be Your Own Boss
We’ve all heard many ‘rags to riches’ stories of how people with small time jobs have made it big by themselves. Often, these success stories would have got you thinking about yourself, about how you could get there too. Ever wondered what is common in Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg or our very own Ratan Tata and Kiran Mazumdar?
http://wiingsablaze.blogspot.in/2014/11/be-your-own-boss.html


There are several other articles published in the magazine  YOUTH INK  Bangalore based Youth Magazines. I also write luxury fashion articles for  LUXECHRONICLE , a luxury fashion website, still under construction. Will update them once they are published.

Do read the articles and write back to me with your feedback, if you liked anything or just to say Hi! :)
