“I cannot teach anybody, I can only make you think.” – Socrates I began my career in software engineering, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that what truly fascinated me wasn’t code—it was people. I noticed how the right words, presence, and confidence could change the trajectory of someone’s career. That curiosity led me to become a certified image consultant and soft skills trainer. But the more I worked with adults, the more I thought—what if we learned these skills earlier in life? That thought became Thinklebuds—a heartfelt initiative to help children build self-awareness, confidence, emotional intelligence, and real-life skills. Today, through journaling-based tools, resources, and workshops, Thinklebuds supports children and parents in having deeper conversations, building resilience, and nurturing emotional strength. You can explore our journals and programs at 👉 www.thinklebuds.in On most days, you’ll find me learning, writing, speaking about self-growth (sometimes on my YouTube channel), or working with schools and parents. 🎁 Looking for meaningful gifts or want a parenting session for your community?
