Our February 2023 edition is very special. It is the month of Valentine’s Day, and in our edition here, we feature people who love their work! Their stories will inspire you to stretch your hand and come out of your comfort zone to work harder! On the cover, we have actor-model Aisha Sharma, who styled her shoot and is excited about her new creative quest of styling. She and her sister, Neha Sharma, are undeniably a hit among audiences and enjoy tremendous popularity. We have a special interview in the
‘Royalty in the Modern Times’ column.Even as we live in a democratic setup where the government has long ago taken back titles and other belongings from royal families all over India, her nature, persona, and grace will encourage one to call her ‘Maharani’ Preneet Kaur, the incumbent Member of Parliament from Patiala (Punjab). Married to Captain Amarinder Singh, former CM of Punjab with royal ancestry, she has been an Ex-Minister of State for External Affairs with the Government of India. Honestly, I was
charmed by her presence of mind, intelligence, and extremely caring attention towards her guests. The staff at New Moti Bagh Palace, Patiala, where her interview was scheduled, vouches for her compassionate and caring nature. ‘It doesn’t matter whether it’s a helper or a gardener. If someone is hurt or in pain, she will make sure her car drops him at the hospital,’ narrates one of her office staff members. The close aides have been with her for 3-4 decades since she began her political journey. Read the
inside pages for her detailed interview on her personal and professional life. The edition includes an interview of Proj Rajesh Gupta, Head, GI Surgery, PGIMER Chandigarh, whom people call the ‘God of Surgery’. He is known for his no-nonsense attitude and is tremendously gifted and hard-working.
Talk about India, and he can go on to lengths to discuss his ideas about current leadership and is a staunch patriot.
