In continuation of sharing Jagjeevan doses — moments of reflection inspired by 📕 Jagjeevan: Living Larger Than Life — the journey of this book reached a deeply meaningful milestone: the Parliament of India. It was an honour to present the book to Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Hon’ble Minister of State (IC) for Law & Justice and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Government of India, who also graciously wrote the foreword for the book.

We often hear that times are changing. In the AI era, change is no longer gradual — it is accelerated. Today, AI agents assist us in writing, thinking, researching, and even making personal decisions.

Taking a break from our daily routine to spend time with family often feels harder than it should be. Busy schedules, long travel, work pressure, health concerns, distance, or even unresolved misunderstandings slowly become convenient excuses.

We celebrate festivals, birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones to strengthen family bonds and create memories that last a lifetime.

Thoughtworks, Thoughtworkers, and books share a deep and enduring connection. Over the years, hundreds of books have been authored by Thoughtworkers, reflecting a culture rooted in thought leadership, learning, and knowledge sharing. As part of this vibrant thought-sharing community, I recently had the privilege of launching my book 📕 Jagjeevan: Living Larger than Life at the Thoughtworks office and signing copies for colleagues. The moment was special—not just because it was a book launch, but because it was about sharing timeless life lessons and inspirations drawn from the life of my great-grandfather, lessons that feel especially relevant in today’s fast-paced world.
