Journey Of Life.
(formative years)
(formative years)
I was born in Bombay and was brought up by my paternal grandparents for nearly a year,my formative years while my parents had to work got a living. My late grandmom belongs to a royal family(the title of *Rai Saheb* conferred upon her father by the British) and my grandfather and his family were followers of Paramhansa and his gurus, Yukteshwar Giri, Mahasaya Lahiri and Mahavatar Babaji.
After I returned from the village where my grandparents brought me up, my late maternal grandfather, Sohan Singh Arora brought me up. He was armyman and I guess, my idealistic being with strict values comes from there.
I was one of those lucky children who had had the best of many worlds. My late uncle was not married and had no kids, my aunt unmarried too, has no kids. So I have a family that treats me as their baby. No doubt I was an am a pampered soul.
My parents were connect to the catering business, mom started off with Taj and President and later was handling IBM. My dad used to be industrial caterers and somehow I was accustomed to parties, eating out, tasting cadburys(yeah my dad had a contract with cadbury's too) and a different lifestyle.
Yet my search for something did end. What was it?
My Grandfather Died
I lost
It was 23rd June 1987, my grandfather died. I would want to die like that. He was taken to the hospital, he refused to go on the stretcher and walked. In the hospital, he had a mask on. The old man took all the masks and machines off him, went to the bathroom and died. I guess the thought of dying being dependent on machines or anyone dint go well with him.I lost a very big suppport. Life was never the same. I was alone in the world, who would I look upto and ask whether I should eat something given to me by a stranger? Who would I tell me S.S.C results too? Who would drop me to college? I was not used to doing things on my own. Next day was my result for the boards. My grandfather was no more but. I got distinction. I was not happy. It was the darkest day of my life.
College n Creativity
Studies et al
Joining it was another ordeal. My grandfather had just died then. I had no direction, did not know what to do. Had never thought I would be in a dilemna and was not used to making decisions. I did not know life would be so tough all of a sudden. I made chits and wrote the options. I picked up one marked commerce. I did not want to take up commerce. Arts was more my field, psychology or maybe creative arts. But then, no one understood that I was interested in creativity, painting. No one knew me.College was weird. I had a group but I could not just connect with anyone. A part of me was forlorn, I was so used to being protected, I felt lost. It was fun. I used to be a part of clubs, bunk colleges and go to On Toes with friends. Yet someone I cringe and I feel disconnected, something was not right.
I got into calling spirits with 2 other friends and what followed was a nightmare. I would only want to forget those days. That was my real start, a foundation which makes me deal with occult and paranormal with confidence today.(more in the spiritual link)
I took up E.C.C.E after college. That was more my kind of thing. Related to child psychology. Won an award, medal and trophy for creativity there, had choreographed Bhangra and also performed Bharat Natyam.
I came from a simple background, always protected from harm. I just could not deal with people. They were too superficial and political for my likes.
Creativity, the root cause
What kept me going was my creativity. My mother was selected to be a radio singer in Calcutta and she did not take it up. Being in dramatics and having taught in Catering college, dadar, she always wanted her kids to be creative. My sister has a talent for acting and singing. I was enrolled into Bharat Natyam classes when I was 7 years of age. After passing my 10th, my mother enrolled me into foil painting and then I took up pottery after finishing my 12th(junior college) and then took up clay and ceramics after finishing my T.Y.B.Com.
My mother, my biggest critic and back bone, comes from an army back ground, so the way we carried ourselves is very important to her being even today. After my third year when my sister had completed her 10th, we were again enrolled into a Finishing School, Orchid, run by Anuradha Patel and Amita Tahil at Holiday Inn then.
Career
As an Artist.(1992 till forever)
I was good with creativity, clay, ceramics, paints and there was something, some power that worked through me and the things I made were picked up immediately. This gave me the confidence and I started supplying to art galleries in Bombay. I also took orders for my work from people, offices and one such order was for frames for the banquet rest rooms of Ramada Inn(Palm Grove Juhu), did exhibitions at World Trade Centre and at Linking Road Bandra. I still paint and work with clay even though I developed a major allergy to the chemicals I use. It is just for myself now.
Teaching(1993 - 1995)
While I continued to work as artist, I also spent time teaching in schools, I was trained and had done a diploma in child psychology and being with kids was a passion. I did my diploma from Bloomingdales(Gujarat Research Society) with internship from various schools including Arya Vidya Mandir and then worked with Rizvi School(Bandra), Suresh Wadkar's school(a brief stint- Juhu), Ashok Academy till life took another turn!
Model Co-ordinator(1997 to 2001)
I was one of the best. Worked only for main leads and worked on nearly 150 assignments.

How I started
Tarot Reader.
My journey! (1997 onwards)
My journey! (1997 onwards)
Getting started with Tarot was not difficult. One thing followed after another. My first contact with the cards happened when I was learning Reiki in 1994, after that, I din't look back, din't get a chance. It was then that I also got a reading done through angel cards and the card which I picked up constantly was *Abundance*. I was asked to interpret this card and at first I saw the angel throwing the fruits away, then I was asked to look carefully and noticed that the angel was picking up the fruits. My life graph seems to have picked this trend.
I threw the fruits of my efforts and now I am all set to gather them!
Then it so happened that my father got for himself a book that had details of prediction through playing cards. I managed to flick that one and mastered the art. I also predicted something which made me want to never touch the cards, playing or any, ever again. In November 1997, friends of mine just happened to drop by and I did their readings. One of them who I told that I saw all *black* after May 1998 is no more. I then realized that I was not only in tune with understanding the occult and paranormal but was also psychic.
It was in 2001 when I came to Delhi that I kept hearing a voice saying *Tarot* and it sounded like a stuck tape recorder. However I happened to travel to Bombay in 2002 and bought myself my first deck. I was in no mood to read for anyone and just wanted to know what it was all about. I did readings to help people but I got so involved that I went looking for solutions based on Indian Astrology and Western magic and spells and candle magic, mantras, calling the forces and angels, aromatherapy and guidance from the energies and spiritual souls who speak to me and tell me things and solutions. This and more, the positive feedback, strenghtened my faith that Tarot is not the end, it is just a beginning.
Here I am with clients who come to me from all walks of life, from all over the world and have faith in me. I just have to count my blessings here and thank someone somewhere, everyone everywhere!
