I am a former commercial film-maker who grew up in a Bengali family in Delhi. Considered a bright talent by my peers, I had an immensely successful career both in India and abroad. I had worked closely with several film and sports stars and had many a big brand as my client. However, the journey was not without its ups and downs. And my uncontrollable drinking habit unfortunately played a big role in it.
What did it take to get out of this life consuming addiction? Along with steady determination and will, a deep understanding as to why a man of my intellect was so completely helpless when it came to alcohol. It was a battle that I was determined to win. And I did.
I had my last drink on 11th of Nov’16.
As clichéd as it may sound but it was no less than a rebirth. I left Delhi and moved to a village in the Himalayan hills of Uttarakhand. It took time to get the wheels moving again. And the wheels did move: almost like a divine calling, I got introduced to Yoga.
Yoga wasn’t just exercise; it was transformational. I immersed myself, dedicating years to mastering its essence. Through Asanás and Pranayama, I found harmony - physically, mentally, and emotionally. It was a profound journey of self-discovery and healing.
Emerging from the grip of alcoholism wasn’t just a personal victory; it became my mission. I blend counseling with Yoga's transformative techniques to guide others towards liberation. Just as I broke free from the bottle’s chains, so can you.
