When a doctor says, “You have cancer,” the world seems to turn upside down. Worry immediately sets in. One may find themselves overwhelmed by questions like: Will I need surgery? Will I need chemotherapy? Will I lose my hair? Will radiation hurt or burn? Will I still be able to work during treatment? Will I be able to take care of myself and my family? Fighting cancer might be the toughest experience one ever goes through. As someone with a diagnosis, it could be difficult to relay one's feelings to people who’ve never been through it.  In this episode, a thyroid cancer survivor shares her experiences to spread hope and positivity. Inspired by the common expression "every dark cloud has a silver lining" means that even the worst events or situations can bring some good and positivity to our world, she has authored the book 'Silver Linings'  where she has shared her cancer journey and hopes that the book will be a comforting companion to both folks facing a new diagnosis and the people who surround and love them. The author will be donating 100% of the profit to the cancer NGO: St Jude India Childcare Center (www.stjudechild.org) - a Life-Long Commitment Go to the link to grab your copy and contribute to the cause. https://mybook.to/SilverLiningsByAish

For me, singing is a form of expressing emotions; anger, pain, love, happiness, and madness. It gives hope and allows us to dream. I do believe that every song is written by someone who expresses their emotions, treasured moments, and immense lessons in life. And yes, through singing you can touch lives, heal broken spirits, inspire, give hope, express yourself, and of course, have fun in the process.

Children with special needs require extra attention, teaching, care – and love! Every special needs child is different and every family is unique. Some parents will always mourn their child's lost potential  while other families may find that their child's challenges make triumphs sweeter and that weaknesses are often accompanied by amazing strengths. It is important for the child that we try to do our best.  For the fourth episode of Straight From The Heart Season 1, I am happy to bring to you my close friend, Consultant Special Educational Needs & Child DevelopmentDirector of EMPOWER Centre for Special Education - Mamta Balasubramaniam.  Tune in to hear her journey with these kids and get inspired.   Email: [email protected]

Passion may be one of the most important characteristics of entrepreneurs. Most entrepreneurs will tell you that it's this, rather than the promise of money or fame, that drives them on. Entrepreneurs can be passionate about many things. They may be passionate about the products they create or the services they provide. They might be passionate about the problems they feel their businesses solve or about the desire to improve the lives of their customers.  What makes an entrepreneur excited about their work is not as important as the passion they feel, because this helps them persist when they face hardships like long hours or tight budgets. For the third episode of Straight From The Heart Season 1, I am happy to bring to you my EMBA senior, an entrepreneur - Abhimanyu Sikarwar, Managing Partner Ottaedge.

Learning the art of playing an instrument left an impression on my soul; not only for the joy of playing but also for the beauty of instruments. Some may pick up an instrument for therapeutic or recreational reasons; others might do so to have an extra-curricular activity on their CV and some learn to play an instrument because of their passion for music.  For this second episode of Straight From The Heart Season 1, our guest is - Gaurav Jethwa aka GJ : a flute player and live performer Tune in for a sneak peek into the soulful world of flute and get inspired.  GJ's Details:   Youtube: Gaurav Jethwa Email Id: [email protected]

Writing paints the story of our lives, so others can understand who we are, what we stand for, and how much we have grown.   Writing can make a story so real to us that it leaves us in a trance for a while and the thought of the underlying meaning of what we have read circumflexes back on our individual lives.  For the very first episode of Straight From The Heart Season 1, I am happy to bring to you a very close friend, avid blogger, and author - Prasanna Krishnan aka PK.
