• LOVE

    From birth, we are destined to love. For love is a language with infinite meanings, and it can only be learned through experience. Love is the pillar of life, without love meaning is lost. One should always be optimistic about life and continue the journey. There is always a silver lining with love, so no…


  • HAPPINESS

    Happiness begins with you, lives with you, and lives in you. You may get the odd day of negativity, but as they say, “Happiness is a choice.” Happiness blossoms when one is content and fully lives in the moment. Indulge in as much positivity as possible, be it music, film, or art – find medicine…


  • Champion

    When Muhammad Ali – the greatest sporting icon passed away, George Foreman gave an interview about his once rival turned friend. He said, Muhammad Ali made everyone feel like a champion, no matter whom his path crossed, be it a waiter or a journalist. And then those people were inspired to become the best in…


  • BRANDING – Part 5 Swiss Made

    Watches, they amaze me … and so does Switzerland. As a teen, I would visit my auntie with my brother every other year. Being a Londoner, I found the country strange. So many rules, from recycling to not being able to make noise after off-peak evening hours, or else face eviction from fellow Swiss neighbours.…

  • PERSISTENCE

    There is a recipe to success and it’s called persistence. However you must take calculated risks, don’t risk everything because you will actually loose everything. Everybody craves success, money or fame, but what they don’t understand is the struggle. The struggle is an ingredient to success, as success is not a straight road, there are…


  • WORK

    They say good things come to those who wait, I say “Good things come to those who Work.” Yes, we should hope and dream, but we must not sit and wait. If you have a dream, an ambition, a business plan – that’s just step 1 my friend. You see, everything creative starts with an…


  • GIVING BACK

    I was always a quiet child, but a very emotional one. They say the most emotional people are the most creative & that is what I’m doing … giving back.  My mother is a special woman and the majority will say the same about theirs alive (or sadly not at present) but remember, one day you…


  • POSITIVE

    A close friend of mine once told me to not over think, as according to her, “thinking can also be a disease.” Who was I to argue, since she along with her family had been coping with the death of their mother for several years. There have been many occasions where I drift away and…


  • EGO

    We all have an ego, but Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power of Now changed my life and I believe it can change yours. Our ego always wants to be associated with the past and the future whereas its ultimate enemy is the present. It is always trying to want more with future ambitions or think…


  • STORIES

    An irresistible brand contains a variety of ingredients, the main being its story. Some stories are timeless, others are nostalgic, whilst few are exceptional. In the very first page I wrote the following, “we believe that each brand has a story, if it doesn’t then this is a marketing crime,” so yes, I am very serious!…
