The Why of Counseling

I'm constantly asked what keeps me going in a profession like Counseling.I remember very early I n life, even when I didn't understand the nuances of Counseling, I decided to make it a career.That conviction is something which has got me here, practicing for quite some time.

Over years of counseling, I have realized that it's not just about giving people hope,but also strengthening their own abilities to deal with life situations, helping them become aware of their own potential,help find their personal meaning and teaching them to accept and move on in life.It's all about them and very little of me in it.it's beautiful to see people adapt, change perspectives, show resilience and I think enriching to know that they made you a part of their private world and trusted you.

Finding room for books

Gagan and I recently went to Landmark and purchased loads of books from there including graphic novels, psychology books and many more.However the minute we paid the bill we wondered where do we keep them.

Believe me this is the question we ask ourselves every time we buy books.However surprisingly we still mange to find place for them.This just continues to surprise us.We have often discussed that looking at the way we keep buying books, we may have to just buy a flat for books.I remember one of my bosses who actually had an entire flat just to store books:)

The thing with life is no matter how much space you have it's never enough! the more space you have, the more stuff you buy:)

I can already imagine our room with different book covers, different genres and music that goes well as we just sit, lie and read our books.
