My Amazing Wife
Today is Anjali’s birthday. In our family, we celebrate happy events, but on our terms. We went out to dinner a couple of times last week, and to a comedy show in New York, and decided that they were all part of the birthday celebration. Today there won’t be any special plans because it is also Karva Chauth. This means Anjali is fasting. She won’t eat a morsel until the moon shows up at night.
I would hardly classify our family as religious or ritualistic. Karva Chauth is the only ritual that Anjali follows diligently each year.
What is remarkable is her equanimity. It is one thing to read about and preach an evenness of spirit, calmness in demeanor, and a non-judgmental attitude, it is a whole different thing to implement all of this.
Anjali Kumar does this effortlessly, every day of her life, and not just when she is fasting on Karva Chauth.
When you are around her, you cant help but feel good about yourself and about life in general. She is a strong woman, but gentle. Like they say, steel and velvet.
As business mentors, we complement each other very nicely. I am strong on message, with a focus on empowering and identifying leaders. Anjali creates the perfect balance – her strength is in spreading love and nurturing relationships.
I am a blessed man.
