Its a baby girl and a gift!

Our little princess arrived 2 months ago.

She smiles a lot and tries to say something that we can only guess.

Life could not be better.

My wife wants to give her a name that means "gift of love", "gift of god", something like that.

We are still debating this. Of course, mothers always win.

This is one really good reason why I could not write this newsletter for the last few months.

They say you should not mix work and personal life but I think that is not practical.

Being a parent is one more reason to try to be a better human being, professional and also in many other interesting roles that life offers us without any recruitment process.

Thank you all for your best wishes!!

As a token of gratitude, would like to share couple of amazing resources.

They are like a gift that you did not ask for.

• The HBR Article "How will you measure your life - dont reserve your best business thinking by career" by Prof Clayton Christensen. He was also on the board of TCS, my first employer.

The HBR article link is here - How will you measure your life?

In this article, Dr Christensen explains how, exploring questions everyone needs to ask: How can I be happy in my career? How can I be sure that my relationship with my family is an enduring source of happiness? And how can I live my life with integrity?

This is definitely a must read. There is a book and a TED talk also that you can search online.

• A book "Own your body -A doctors life saving tips" by Dr Shiv Sarin

Amazon book purchase link is here.

This is not an affiliate link. You can also check Dr Sarin's talks on Youtube.

This is what Mr Nandan Nilekani (Co-founder and Chairman, Infosys, and Founding Chairman UIDAI (Aadhaar)) has to say about this book.

This comprehensive book offers evidence-based opportunities to test your health inheritance in the section ‘My Story’, help your children in ‘My Child’s Story’ and your relatives in the section ‘My Relative’s Story’, empowering everyone to attain better health. The Ten Commandments, if followed, can add years and happiness to your life. Essential reading to safeguard and enhance your quality of life!

Hope you like and appreciate these resources.

I deserve no credit for anything.

Only sharing something good and useful that has helped me and my family.

Life offers many amazing opportunities to do good and be good.

Excellent health, happy family, financial freedom (through investing and venture building) are some of the means to do that.

Now there is one more reason to do better, to be better.

Thanks again for your best wishes!!
