My calling
After 13 years, my whole perception of seeing things has changed because I’ve met such interesting people on the way. That is what I was craving for. I was from a business family but there was so much art in me. Sometimes, one cannot recognise their own calling in life. When my husband gave me the opportunity, I could fulfill all my dreams. He told me the sky is the limit. He gave me so much encouragement and that’s why I’m here.
