The Brand


It’s funny how we expect quality and brand name to go together.
It’s almost like because Kareena Kapoor endorses Vaio it should be good. At least I used to think that she is a person of refined taste …. I mean just look at her performance in all her movies….

Right from Border… where she was cute, but……. a cute potato she’s come to being a size zero. Not just that, her acting…!! She has grown so much in her acting also…. It was for all of us to see in Jab we met too….Just compare all her roles from her first movie till date and it is pretty obvious..

She also won awards for her performance since she’s been in the industry. What works more is that even Saif thinks the same of her… their chemistry though on screen doesn’t seemingly work but definitely works magic off screen…
SO, if SHE endorses VAIO, VAIO it is for me….

It used to be this way…. For a while…
People like each other, or they like some things or they like money at a moment and they do things to reach out to what they like…the cute bearded man in the ashram says that celebrities will market whatever they want but …. They take no responsibility for it.

I sat down to think if I am doing what others wanted me to do, OR what I wanted to do for myself…. That’s when I found the need to know what I wanted, I liked, where I wanted to be and what I wanted to do with my life….

Kareena was doing what she wanted all along… and when I could do that, I’d be far higher than anywhere imaginable…

For some it is Kareena, others it may be John or Tom Cruise or Dhoni or Ronaldo…. Whoever….. the question really is… is it me?

Of course, I had decided this long long long time ago…
I strongly believe (actually …..I know…) that each one is too too too beautiful in their own way. To be someone else would only take away a part of that beauty….

Shine on… Gracefully and just as YOU are!
I belong to you anyways!

As I am.....

Rehana in Arabic means tulasi. And Firdous means paradise. So technically, my name symbolises a garden that is filled with the essence of purity.

It’s amazing how two apparently very different religions (Hinduism and Islam) say the same things in their scriptures. And that’s precisely what I am learning and yearning to learn at the Art of Living.

Hmm... A bit about me.... I was born in Bangalore, and grew up here till my 1st standard. I then did my schooling till the 6th std at Muscat. I continued my schooling from 6th -10th at a boarding school in Manipal. This was a tough. It was here that I discovered that I had the skill of writing and dance in me.

Later we shifted to Bangalore where I continued studies and went on to graduate as a Dentist from R.V Dental College.

Then came the confusion of so !what next...?? Initially I took a 3 month break to kind of see all that people do in life for a living. Just for the kick, I applied for a job in the H.R. And very surprisingly I GOT IT TOO!! In the first month itself I reached my targets and my boss got annoyed. So he hiked my target triple fold. That’s when the reality of corporate industry hit me hard.

Of course I quit in style, and invited my boss for my clinic opening. I practised for quite a while and then,....... I met Guruji. It was the most meaningful event of my life!!!!

I never really intended to be a teacher but You know Guruji....

It doesn’t really matter what we intend when He intends...

I cannot remember how many people told me that I was definitely a Teacher Material... But it was a BIG joke.... I dismissed each of them as nice people who love their Guru. And I love Him too but I thought that’s all I am meant to do....

It’s been a great journey up until here... and Now it’s even better... with a Guru, Guidance and a Huge Goal....

I’m Really loving it!!!

If there’s anyone wondering how long it’ll be to get there......

Duh!!! Wake up!!! You are already where I am@%^&*!!!
