Finding ones passion

How to find your #passion and #reinvent yourself - Chat with #UshaMukunda on #NewIndianWoman #podcast, an interesting #librarian and lover of #books and #children

How often do you meet someone who has reinvented herself every 20 years or so ? Currently, she is famous in the world of librarians across India, but that is just one part of her. This is definitely a special episode of New Indian Woman - for we are chatting with someone from a different generation, who sets a very good example and gives us the opportunity to learn so much from her life, thoughts and actions. Yes, this is just Part 1 of the chat with her - you will enjoy this one for sure.

Usha Mukunda talks about her current role with as much humility as she does about her early years being a celebrity in a different era. We talk about her life in 4 parts and why she epitomizes the New Indian Woman. In this episode we talk about the first 3 avatars - the challenges she faced and the learning from them for each of us. We examine these questions - What prompted her to do different things and not give up ? What is the role of a supportive family and what is your responsibility ? How to look at the question "what others would say" ? How was it even possible for one person to reinvent so many times ? Look at her avatars -
