To my parents Ashok and Kiran Mehta for loving me when I needed love screaming at me when I needed a scream and bringing all the change in me.
Believe nothing, No matter where you read it, Or who said it, No matter if I have said it, Unless it agrees with your own reason, And your own common sense.
-Buddha
AUTHOR S NOTE
I strongly believe that a book says less about the characters-or the people being featured in it-and more about the author.
But this book is not about me. It s about US. About the problems that we all face at some point or the other, in one way or the other-be it intolerant parents, dwindling careers, bankruptcy, resentful in-laws, or life-threatening diseases.
It doesn t really matter what MY or YOUR problem is. What matters is whether we have found a way to solve it.
Because just as when we are done with solving the problem, it ceases to have an emotional hold on our psyche. For example, do you really think back to the time when you were slapped by your mother as a kid? The humiliation of being slapped may have appeared like a big blow on ego back then, but it no longer matters NOW. It is something that you are done with. Something that you forgot long back.
A problem forgotten is a problem solved.
Still, a problem is a problem as long as it has a hold on our minds. Whether it s about seeing dreams of deadly snakes every night and waking up in frenzy or dealing with a drunkard abusive father. And believe me, there is nothing cheap, dirty, or shallow about discussing something that is bothering you.
It doesn t really matter to problems whether you are a head honcho of an MNC or a scuba diver in Goa. What matters is whether you have really been successful in solving a problem.
Because most people talk about the problem and do not take part in the change that the solution of a problem requires. Come on, everybody knows that smoking is bad for health and yet people smoke. You know for the fact that you should always think positive and yet, you sometimes find yourself on the brink of sheer negativity.
And this is not the way to live life.
Most definitely not.

As one of the most magnetic personalities of the world, with an ever growing following that runs into millions, his message is simple: Make your smile cheap and your anger very expensive.
2. BEJAN DARUWALLA-ASTROLOGY
Much before the earthquake hit Gujarat in 2001, Bejan Daruwalla already predicted it. Acknowledged as one of the 100 great astrologers in the last thousand years, Bejan was once a professor in English. A bestselling author, he appears worldwide on TV shows and columns to explain that astrology is not a science, but a shashtra-a sacred text.

Sanjay s life took a roundabout change in the next 6 months. Today, Sanjay stands tall as an aid to almost the entire Bollywood and half a dozen cricketers. Whenever a film has an extra alphabet added to its name, people are bound to say, Looks like it s a Jumaani job!
6. RAMESH CHAUHAN-OZONE FORUM OF INDIA
Ramesh Chauhan can well be called the water king of India. His brand Bisleri commands a 60 percent share in the bottled water industry.

She not just walks but runs all across the world, teaching Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)-a tapping procedure that cures migraines, aches, pain, and phobias within minutes. A procedure that makes the impossible, possible.
11. RAJYOGINI SHIVANI DIDI-THE BRAHMA KUMARIS

A NOTE ON THE AUTHOR

THE ART OF LIVING
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Right from childhood, there were signs that there was something extraordinary about Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Barely 25, Sri Sri went into silence for 10 days and devised a simple relaxation technique called Sudharshan Kriya, which is now being taught in 152 countries across the globe. As one of the most magnetic personalities of the world, with an ever growing following that runs into millions, his message is simple: Make your smile cheap and your anger very expensive.
I make fun of Sri Sri when I first see him on TV. Kaun hai ye baba? is the first thought that strikes me, followed by, Only women speak like that! This is when I was 17. Deeply frustrated, I used to find temporary pleasures in taking a dig at others.
Little did I know that one day, I ll be yearning hard to meet him. In person. To listen to his soft soothing voice, that has become his trademark.
It all starts with an Art of Living (AOL) poster that I see at a stationary shop in Udaipur, my hometown. It is Mahashivratri and the AOL guys are organizing a satsang.
I think I ll enjoy loads, but to my dismay and amazement, I find myself crying. For no reason in particular. Or I suppose, for many reasons in particular.
These impromptu tears intrigue me to take up the basic course. On the very first day, I observe that my AOL teacher smiles all the time, making it easier for me to confide in her. I tell her that I cried during the satsang, still feeling a bit awkward at sharing something so silly, yet so private.
Hota hai she tells me. Maybe you were holding on to something. Isko cleansing kehte hain. Hota hai.
In the many satsangs that follow, I find myself crying a bit more, often relishing in the cheap wicked pleasure that a few others are also crying. And that I am not alone in shedding my grief.
Cleansing of the soul.
I travel down South to be with Sri Sri at the Bangalore International Ashram. I want to know more of this man, who has literally taken to all over the world with his soft soothing voice that I once made fun of.
After writing him a dozen mails, I finally get the chance to meet him personally. When I reach there at appointed hour, I see him engrossed in talks with various administrative heads. And then, he suddenly looks up from the group and smiles
