My creative and minimalist life style has taken over my corporate life and I am slowing down to find deeper meaning of my existence via life oriented learning, self exploration, natural living and healing, sustainable architecture, optimal use of resources and food as medicine. Feel blessed to have a kind and generous family to support in my crazy experiments towards zero outsourcing of education, food and wellness. I strongly believe that education, health and food should not be outsourced and our education should be life oriented focused on balancing material, emotional and spiritual aspects in daily life. I continue to learn and experiment everyday with my life and over the years it has manifested into three social impact community building platforms - Self Learning Cafe and Asmakam Life University(www.asmakam.org) focused on life oriented education / self learning and Cotfoo - connecting thru food (www.cotfoo.com), focused on natural food for medicine free life. Our family also doing natural farming in 20 acres near Indore and working on water conservation and growing forest for last 10 yrs based on our conviction that secure future for our younger generation lies in living sustainably and growing our own food. Our recent labor of love - eco natural house, designed and built by us -https://youtu.be/dGwlh9gDc-8. To heal and rejuvenate myself mentally, spiritually, and physically, I recently completed 21 days of water only fasting and shared my experiences here - https://youtu.be/y5wmuHX32Kc Asmakam is working silently for last 10 years and created self learning awareness in thousands of parents and children thru various interactive sessions, creative workshops and our flagship program "Swa Shodh”. Our 6 mins short film "The Lost Gift" (https://youtu.be/R4v-zOsk_nc) has been recognized internationally and nationally and already creating waves of change in thousands of parents mindset. Natural living and food as medicine inspired Cotfoo. Thru this community building effort with my self learner daughter Maitreyee We envision to connect people to natural farmers and secret home chefs so they know 3 most important aspects of food- 1.
