Life is a game plate full of choices

Life is a game plate full of choices and we make them every day. Some easy, some difficult we always have to make one. 

So did I. I dropped off from school to pursue my passion for tailoring. I always had a strong desire that one day I will share my creativity and showcase it to the entire world. 

Tailoring is the source of my vivid ideas, today I don't regret making this tough choice because "I love what I do". The best day of my life would be the day I have my own designing shop and I'll design for all my loving aunties. Hope this progressing bridge lands me to my passion soon.

I believe we all find what makes us happy and confident we just need to seek for it and never stop unless found.

universe loves the believer

The universe loves the believer, the one who is unstoppable, who thinks beyond existence and has faith. I believe that "what we think we are." I came to Mumbai after getting married and had a joint family. Overtime personal issues began to rise and we had to separate out. I love doing creative things and wanted to pursue my passion. One day few people from Trishul came for survey and employing women in empowerment events. I enrolled in their program in hope to indulge myself into certain activities and get exposure. I like to talk and meet new people each day. Here in Trishul, I have made so many friends and it's such a great feeling. I really look forward to my children and want to give them all I couldn't have. The special moment of my life was when I worked for Designer Anita Dongre (out sourced to Trishul NGO as part of Trishul Women Empowerment Program) and my husband recognized my work. Life feels happy and satisfied now.
