An Inspiring Moment shared (AIMs) with Team 1 - Anil Pakale

My Motto(s) in life : My aim would be to help everyone around me, to stay calm, spread the message of brotherhood.

Remember, Mother Teresa. Treat everyone, be it rich or poor, at par.

When you do good, it brings in precious great feeling that is in fact pure happiness. When you do for yourself, it does bring in some happiness of fulfilment. However, it is far too less when it is done for others.

Respect every individual that comes across you and show that you care for his values and opinions. This will make them feel comfortable in interacting with us.

Environment comes next. We have to inculcate habits and practise what is best for the environment. We have to hand over the world to our kids in a better shape than it is today. There is a lot that needs to happen on that front. Each one of us must make cohesive efforts in that direction. There is no option. Or else, we will see survival war amongst human beings. It is possible to change the direction of the world. We must all play our part.

Now that I have achieved what I wanted for myself, I am now going to devote all my life for serving the community keeping in mind the above values and try to reach it to many whom I come in contact with my day to day life through my own simple possible ways and means. We are all guests in this material world and there is no reason why we should be getting into conflicts. We do not need much for living. Yet, we strive to get more and more. This must stop once for all. We must try to be content with what the almighty has given us and live a life that is full of Peace and Happiness. It is not difficult. I will be devoting all my time in spreading the message to all my friends. And when everyone who reads this, does the same to their friends, we will all be in for a beautiful world.

Good feelings will bring in great values in life free of any stress and nervousness. Health will automatically be at it’s best when we all are sound in our minds.

An Inspiring Moment shared with Team 1 - Nandakumar Perimpilavil

My Motto(s): In every stage of life we need to have a plan which is practical and possible to execute. I like to practise setting up daily targets in life whether it is at the work front or at home which will take you to achieve eventual targets in life.

Considerations for others, a receptive attitude and willingness to learn from mistakes make one’s path to achieve one’s aims easy and comfortable - a theory I believed always.

Sharing the views with and convincing others is an art and mutually beneficial.

Setting up goals in life is not an easy task. One really has to think and set realistic goals. This starts from the early days of one’s life. Right from childhood one hears about setting goals. During school days parents and teachers guide you to channel your talents and aptitude in the right direction. But I do not believe in forcing a child to achieve goals which are unrealistic or not in line with his or her natural talents or aptitude. Children should not be compelled to opt for an art or sport or subject which he/she has no genuine interest in. It is all about identifying their capabilities and tastes and accordingly groom them to set goals.

Getting organised in your daily life with a fair amount of discipline will make your journey in life a lot more easier. One need to have that will power though for same. I try to do the same . Disappointments at times and setbacks are natural and we need to take them into our stride while thriving to learn from mistakes and achieve what we are hoping for. Whatever you do in life ensure to enjoy every moment of it and cherish your memories.


Nandakumar Perimpilavil, or "Nanduvettan", for all his friends and well wishers, started career as a Bank officer in India and then moved over to airline field. He is in charge of Finance & Admin for Middle East for more than a decade now for Srilankan Airlines. A brilliant student during his school and college days, he was school first for SSLC and did his degree education with distinction. His activities did not remain within the class room. He was active in cricket, chess and carroms in school and college and sang for a troupe in the 90s. The interest continued and recently he sang for a programme called Ninavu in Kairali. Music is passion for him and to an extent cricket too. He considers music as divine and universal that which takes you to a serene world where all your pains are removed by it’s power.

Nandakumar lives in Sharjah with his wife Suvarna Nandakumar, a graduate in Maths and a perfect partner with equal or more interest in music. Their daughter Mrinalini is a student of DPS Sharjah in Gr 8. She is also a student of Kathak and Classical music and plays Basketball with interest.

An Inspiring Moment shared (AIMs) with Team 1 - Rashmi Vijayan
My motto in life is not to let any of the obstacles that come in my life take the smile I carry on my face...

The smile I love spreading onto everyone else in my life. There have been incidents in my life where I may have thought that everything and everyone has failed me...but then I gain consciousness to the situation and understand that those are mere obstacles trying to stress me out...worry me unnecessarily and is bound to keep me unhappy, if I let them affect me. So I simply don't!

If I am unhappy...my loved ones are unhappy too. So why trouble them when all I need to do is focus on my work, keep my goals clear in mind, and maintain a calm inner body.

That way no matter what tries to push me down...I'll take care of it tactfully and by no means would I allow it to take me away from the "Happy Me".

What keeps me going is a doze of one song out of my favourites before I go to sleep... it keeps me in a good spirit all through the next day!

Rashmi Vijayan, a Post graduate student of Broadcast Communication is a promising singer with her base in UAE . Singing is her passion, and already she has proved her merit by reaching the final rounds of various music reality shows like Amrita TV Super Star Global, Zee TV Saregamapa Middle East Muqabala and Indian Idol 3.

An Inspiring Moment shared (AIMs) with Team 1 - K M Nair

I would like to state that I have nothing much to claim in my life. How ever I am glad that I could assist the needy when ever and wherever possible.

My Motto(s): What ever you are, wherever you are, who ever you are you should always behave according to the character and or the situation.

You should understand the nature of the person to whom you are dealing without egoistic mentality and without forgetting that our original nature should be love.

The following stanza will give us an indication on how to deal in each situation:

“DAKSHINYAM SWAJANE, DAYA PARIJANE,

SHADYAM SADA DURJANE,

PREETHI : SADHU JANE, NAYO NRIPAJANE,

VIDWAJJANE CHARJAVAM,

SHOURYAM SATRUJANE, KSHAMA GURUJANE,

KANTAJANE DRUSHTATHA

YE CHAIVAM PURUSHAH: KALA SUKUSHALA,

STESHWEVA LOKASTITHIH:”

The above sloka in sanskrit tells us:

We should have benevolence towards our kindred, compassion and pity towards our servants, wickedness towards the wicked, love towards the suave, virtuous with the royal people, tolerance towards the scholars, intimacy towards the wife.

Mr. K. Madhavan Nair (K M Nair or Nair uncle as he is lovingly called by many) is a B.Com (Honours) graduate from Bombay University and Associate Member of British Association of Hospitality Accountants (ABHA).

An Inspiring Moment shared (AIMs) with Team 1 - Usha Sridhar

Motto(s): Right from my younger age, I have always believed that our purpose in life is not just looking for happiness but something beyond that. The below mentioned saying was told to me by my Father when I was about 7 years of age and has since then stuck in my mind like a Psalm from the Bible or a verse from the Gita.

“I cannot believe that the purpose of life is just to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, and to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all....”

My Father has been a guiding force for me in my life and it was he who has taught me to approach/face life with compassion, courage and integrity. It is these qualities that have taken me this far in my life.

I sincerely believe that in order to be at peace with one self, we should treat people we come across with respect and compassion.

I also strongly believe in empowering my staff and believing in their abilities and capabilities.

I am able to understand and accept people for what they are and treat them with compassion and respect.

Sridhar’s, i.e. Usha Sridhar and Dr. Sridhar lived and worked in the UAE for about 16 years and recently shifted back there base to Chennai, from where they belong. She works now as the Administration Head of the IT Division of UAE Exchange in Chennai. Dr. Sridhar works as Consultant Diabetologist and Endocrinologist for MIOT hospitals in Chennai.

What keeps me going: My ability to learn from every experience in life. Be it good or bad , I attempt to learn something! The realisation that life has a lesson to impart keeps me going. And definitely the positive vibrations associated that reaches me in different forms.
