Meera Gandhi and the Art of Giving

Your vibe chooses your tribe! Her mien is like a sermon positive and comforting. Contrary to her honcho repute, Meera Gandhi strikes as a familiar face,someone you’ve met before and indulged in a heart pouring conversation over cups of lattes with. Gandhi exemplifies her title of humanitarian and is perhaps the best ambassador of herself. An ace humanitarian, philanthropist and the CEO of Giving Back Foundation, she breathes, eats and drinks the causes she’s associated with. And, fiercely so. I remember meeting her at an announcement event, for which she had flown down to Mumbai. Engrossed in an intense conversation, she stood a few feet away from me. Occasionally, she would scan the room and smile warmly to no one in particular. Dressed .in a butterscotch outfit, Meera looked every ounce a radiant yogini.

Today, Meera is in a position where she can be an island and shut herself out. She can choose to be reclusive or go into hiding, appearing in the public only once in a blue moon. Rather, she comes across as a breezy Aquarian, committed to her causes. A known name in the philanthropic circles, her name finds mention in any conversation veering towards the subject. Despite her pedigree, Meera doesn’t strike you as a $1700 French manicured finger waving ‘basic socialite’, high on her stature and Dom Perignon. She is sassy, not fizzy. A socialite with a conscience, her heart pumps more blood at the mention of humanitarian causes than the mention of Blahniks and likes.
