Published Books
While I was interning with Yogi Impressions Publishing, I heard the managing partner remark that an autobiography on India's culinary queen - Asha Jhaveri had fallen through because the tone of the narrative didn't resonate with her. I had always dreamt of writing books so I mustered up courage to walk into his office and request for an opportunity to write the book with her. Miraculously, and probably hesitant to kill my passionate plea, he gave me one month to build a rapport with Asha ji, create the first few chapters and get it approved. I jumped at the opportunity and luckily the rest is history. I went on to co-author not just Asha ji's book, but also to co author or copy-edit three more books from the miraculous life story of Shirdi Sai Baba's ardent disciple, to the wisdom of the Tibetan monks passed down through centuries of hidden yogic practices to the vision of bringing ancient Tarot in the words and context of the 21st Century.
Swati Snacks: a culinary journey of hope and joy
“We are three generations of the Ambani family who cannot live without eating a meal from Swati at least once a week.”
– MUKESH AMBANI. ‘Chairman and MD, Reliance Industries’
​
Asha Jhaveri’s story is as chattpata as her chaats: from being a disinterested student and a mischievous older sister, to a devoted wife and queen of the culinary world, her story truly has it all. From her unassuming innocence to her deep reservoirs of grit, we watch as she is thrust into a world she knows nothing about upon the sudden demise of her mother (the founder of Swati Snacks), and how she gradually learns to rise to the challenge and raise the culinary standards of generations with her.
Asha blends together warm simplicity and sharp business acumen to give you a glimpse at what it takes to build and run one of the most popular restaurants in India – Swati Snacks.
So cuddle up with this book and a piping hot cup of masala chai as Asha serves you her greatest dish yet – a slice of her own life and all the bittersweet flavours that it carries with it.
Sai Baba and Aai: A devotee speaks
Sai Baba continues to work miracles in the lives of His devotees and shower them with His love and care. Filled with personal anecdotes and short stories, this book traces the journey of a simple, pious housewife, fondly known as Aai, who — through her depth of surrender — becomes a channel for Baba’s words and work to flow through.
Aai’s life is a testament to Baba’s values of simplicity, compassion, and complete surrender. Irrespective of her modest external life, or innumerable hardships, she is steadfast in her devotion to Baba, and He, in turn, stands by her as a rock — ensuring that she is always safe and provided for.
Aai always insists that she is not special in receiving His constant grace and, in this book, shares pointers with the readers so that they, too, can make their daily life an offering to Him and experience his grace first hand.
9 Positives: Actualise your potential
“The purpose of life is to be happy.”
– His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Voices from the Heart
​
Is man a slave to circumstances? The modern sage believes that there is a way to circumvent, or bring about a positive change in one’s situation.
There is a three-stage process to create and manifest all that you aspire for in your life:
First, you Think. Second, you Feel. Third, you Act.
Every thought has a form and the potential to actualise itself. To fulfill your aspirations, you have to learn to direct the mind instead of allowing the mind to direct you. This means consciously directing the mind through positive affirmations.
Ancient Tibetan wisdom has given us The 9 Positives. These can help actualise your full potential and lead you to a deeper understanding of yourself, and the relationship you share with Consciousness as a Whole.
