Urvashi Sharma: Not a ritualistic person

I'm not a very ritualistic person. I don't believe in wearing rings, amulets, lucky charms to appease a particular deity. For me, spending quality time with God is more important than anything else. Every day i invoke God as soon as I wake up and just before going to bed. My conversations with God are personal and fulfilling.

I don't think God wants us to keep running to a temple ten times a day, paying obeisance to Him. God wants us to do our work and do it well and give thanks to Him. I'm a strong believer in the 'work is worship' philosophy. If i'm at work, my mind is totally focussed. I don't need to meditate or chant a mantra to be able to focus. I love my work, it keeps me ticking. It's when I'm not working that my mind tends to wander.

Life is a rollercoaster ride. You win some, you lose some. It's in the face of testing times that a person's true character is revealed and strengthened. I believe in enjoying the good times and learning from bad experiences. In fact, if we didn't have sorrow, we would never learn to value joy.

I try not to hurt anybody. But i'm not superhuman and i do make mistakes. I believe that making a mistake is better than not doing anything at all. My father has always given me the freedom to do as i please and learn from mistakes. I never want to regret not having tried something i really set my heart on. In any field, there's always a 50-50 chance of success or failure. If you don't try, you lose the 50% chance of succeeding.

I have heard success changes people. I'm sure it won't change me. For my loved ones, i will always be who i was. I'm very excited at this important juncture in my life. The world is my playground and i'm ready to embrace it with open arms.
