Yesterday 1st Oct 2026, as 15 Stories of Courage and Change – 2026 Edition was launched. Fifteen stories, Fifteen journeys, Fifteen voices of courage and change.I am honoured to be one of them.

As a psychologist, I have had the privilege of listening to countless stories of pain, healing, resilience, and hope. My own journey has taught me that we don’t always heal by forgetting what happened—we heal by understanding what it taught us and choosing what we want to become because of it. I have always believed in the possibility of moving from hopeless to hopeful, the motto of my company . Being part of this book reminds me once again that our difficult chapters do not have to become the definition of our lives.

One thought that has stayed close to my heart is:

“The chapter you call a fall may become the doorway to your inner rise.”

If my story can reach even one person who is standing in the middle of a trying time/Crisis and remind them that their story is not over, then that will be far greater and fulfilling than being featured in a book.

To my family, teachers, clients, students, and everyone who has been part of my journey—this story carries a little piece of each of you.

I am deeply thankful to Ms. Mousmi and her wonderful team behind this book for creating a space where ordinary and extraordinary journeys can be heard, shared, and celebrated. Thank you for trusting my story and giving it a place among these inspiring voices.

With a heart full of gratitude, I thank everyone who gave my story a place, a voice, and a new meaning today
