1 Intent: I wake up at 4.30-5 am, giving myself time to set the tone for the day. Before the rush sets in, I practise mindful walking with my son Rudra and our dog Penny. This simple ritual helps me stay centred, and just 10 minutes of meditation improves focus and clarity.

2 Yoga: It’s more than just exercise — it helps build flexibility, inner strength and resilience. Stretching, breath-work or mindful movement — it keeps body and mind in harmony.

3 Traditional diet: I prefer homely food, as breakfast is heavy, followed by light lunch. Dinner is early and light.

4 Unwinding: Fitness isn’t just about workouts but having fun too. Playing table tennis, solving sudoku puzzles and listening to music helps unwind, keeping my mind sharp. I also love getting lost in a good book.

5 Wellness: Positivity is a muscle we must exercise daily. Whether through gratitude or mindful moments — I stay connected, grounded and joyful. Wellness is also about emotional well-being. Reading the Gita and attending classes provide me with clarity, grounding and perspective, helping me approach life’s challenges with calm and wisdom.
