Here he is at the law office. Uncharacteristically, he’s leaving at noon. It’s December 23rd, and an important deal closes the morning of the 24th. By late afternoon the heat is on; the client’s lawyers want to know where he is and the junior partners are making excuses since they don’t know. At 8 pm he returns, brushes past them and works through the night. The deal closes on time.
Years later it was discovered he had left to buy and deliver gifts to sick kids at St. Vincent’s Hospital.

Had a good fortune of attending Spring circle in India this year, it was just incredible and so inspiring and provocative in the correct direction.
Hope to continue the values and purposes , co created during the circle, in the years to come .
One of the questions which remain is "
How can I be of service or create some value with my efforts and continue doing some radical acts of kindness, inspite of the society and family pressures to conform to what it considers "Normal" practices or a "normal" way of life.
