Evolve Pune

I am not entirely comfortable with book signings.
Honestly it feels a little awkward.

Someone standing there waiting for your signature
as if you are someone special.

But when a friend called and said,
"I'm not buying it from Amazon.
I want a copy from your hands.
With your blessing."
I didn't know how to respond.

I think I laughed nervously first.
And then it hit me.

Some people buy books because of the title.
Some because of the topic.
He was waiting because of the person.

That is a different kind of reader.
And perhaps the most valuable kind.

And that made me reflect on every person
who shaped this journey.

My buddies and faculty at Vellore Institute of Technology
taught me the importance of direction.

Success follows direction.

My years at The Ohio State University taught me
patience in the face of struggle.

Working alongside my manager Daniel Hoffman
at Juniper Networks taught me:

Don't wait for the right conditions.
Be proactive.

My spiritual teacher HH Radhanath Maharaj and other mentors taught me the sacredness of life.
The meaning of love.
And the importance of giving back.

My parents and family raised me with one instruction that never left me.
Be responsible.
In everything.
For everything.

And to every friend, well-wisher and quiet prayer along the way
—you contributed more than you know.

Looking back, Wisdom That Works and its LEAD framework
—Life, Emotions, Action, Dharma
—was not something I designed at a desk.

My buddies at VIT gave me direction.
Ohio gave me patience.
Daniel Hoffman at Juniper gave me the spirit of action.
My spiritual teacher gave me dharma.

Across four decades, one framework quietly took shape.
This book is simply where it arrived.

And now, it's yours.

If you choose to read it,
I hope you find within its pages even a fraction of the wisdom so many people shared with me along the way.

Wisdom That Works is now available on Amazon and leading bookstores.
And yes, I would be honoured to sign a copy for anyone who reaches out.
