I love stories, great storytelling, and great storytellers. Whether they tell with words, with music, with visual arts, multimedia - whatever the style, great storytellers bind societies and cultures. And, sadly, all too often, the power of story has been lost in today's results-obsessed corporate climate. I like the metaphor of "story" as a way to view life. Because in my mind, if you accept that your life, your career and everything that happens in them is your story, it forces accountability. By accepting the it you accept that you are authoring your story, you are the central character in your story, and you are in control. And, most important, you control the personality and style of you, the central character. In other words, you are accountable for yourself. Accountability is the cornerstone of leadership.

My wedding was so much better than the dreamed up childhood one! I was a summer early monsoon bride dressed all in red and white with gold and pearl stitching. I was covered in jewelry from head to foot (literally). My hands and feet were stained deep red in Mehendi and my Prince Charming was splendid in creamy white cotton with gold and red cloth to match my perfect wedding sari. All the relatives were dressed in gorgeous reds greens and earthy browns. There were so many things that happened and so many wonderful memories that they are still all jumbled up in my brain and hard to fasten on any particular one. I’m still amazed that I’m a WIFE! A wife to a perfect Husband! There were so many times that I thought this day would never come, so many days that I sat and fretted about what would happen, if ever...
