Dear Readers -
Today, I complete 5 years of my being self-employed. It was a journey with no destination. At times - in pool for 6 hours a day was fun; to accomplish a book after months was a moment of happiness. To take my brand of chocolates to different countries was like a dream come true. To paint and introduce my label to sell my art work pushed me really hard. I started with no funds and no expectations. Every day I had faced a new challenge. I have seen my roller coaster going down and then up....and up! From fixed income to also no income days - but I have cherished all of them. I loved all hard days of these five years as they made stronger in life. Thank you all of you who were part of my these five years. Happy Five!
