Had an incredible time at KR Mangalam World School, Gurgaon, where I had the privilege of being a part of their annual literary week. 

Interacting with brilliant young students is always an inspiring experience! 🏫 Their curiosity about my Bestseller book ‘Fall, Don’t Fail’ and my journey as an author filled the air with enthusiasm and positive energy.

My compliments to the dedicated KR Mangalam teachers, whose hard work reflected in the thoughtful questions asked by the students. 

My deepest hope is that I was able to ignite the spark of reading within these young souls and that they embrace it as a lifelong habit. 

During this visit, I also had the pleasure of meeting some talented budding writers. To these creative minds, never stop writing and dreaming. You have the potential to weave incredible stories that touch hearts and leave a lasting impact. 💫✍️ Thank you, Team KRMWS, for this incredible opportunity! It was an honor to be a part of your journey. Keep up the excellent work!

What an amazing time I had with the young brains UPES (University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun) Interacted with BBA(Automobile) students on ‘Automobile Retail – Now and Future’ and with B.Tech( Electrical) students on ‘Electric Vehicles – the clean fuel technology’.

Nanda Convent, Tanakpur

To my inspiration, Janki ma’am.

What a momentous occasion it was for me to present my debut book, “Fall Don’t Fail” on the first day of 2023, to my teacher Janaki ma’am who taught me English during my school days.

Meeting her after decades was like a dream come true.
The ‘Creation’ finally had the chance to meet his ‘Creator’.
Blessed are the students who are nurtured by an academic magician like her. People with such a resolute mind set are unstoppable. After retiring as a teacher she is running her own CBSE school in the far flung foothills of Uttarakhand, near the Nepal border; relentlessly making a difference. Feeling lucky and grateful to have her teachings and blessings for a lifetime.

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
― Albert Einstein

“Dedicated to those who never give up.”

Landmark

Delighted and honoured to present my book Fall, Don’t Fail to Garima Mittal Misra Managing Director of Group Landmark – the largest Automotive Dealership group of the country. Grateful to her for inviting me for a ‘Talk Session’ with her Senior Management team. Garima is a super achiever, a proven leader and a veteran of more than two decades in the field of automobile retails. She enlightened the conversation with her hands-on knowledge and strategic outlook. Her emphasis on ‘Embracing Change’ for her group, advocated by Vikram(protagonist of my book) as one of the 10 most important life lessons resonated with the audience.
Special thanks to my friend and ex-colleague Narang Salil National Corporate Sales head and Zonal Manager FCA India for always being there. 🙏🏻
