Kal, Aaj aur Kal!

As is in an Ekta Kapoor serial, am gonna leap ahead a few years and come to the present!
As we go along, shall stop and have a few flashbacks as and when required!

Since the start of 2006, I decided to fly solo and make ‘Events’ an integral part of my professional life. Thus was ‘Aspirationz’ born!
