Today we have with us Shivani Aggarwal.
Shivani is a self taught artist and designer. A Computer Science and Math major from the University of Waterloo, she worked in the software industry, before she re-discovered her childhood passion for art. As she set out on a journey in self-discovery where she met her Spiritual Master, Art became a medium for her to reconnect with her own inner intuition and knowing (something the education system had completely denied to her).
She began ShivaniArtandDesign in 2017, through which she holds yearly exhibitions of her art, along with designing various products from her art that she sells during the festive season. She has also designed a range of products with the Isha Life (coasters, lampshades, notebooks, scarves etc.). Along with this she takes up freelance design work of Logos, packaging design, fabric design, wedding card designs, and customized painting work.
Highlights of the Talk:
Shivani's journey of exploration on the Spiritual Path

Career in Arts can be lucrative as long as you figure out how to make it commercially viable

Indian mindset needs to change on buying Art from Urban artists and also finding avenues to display Art can be challenging

Exploring Arts is the in-thing now this Pandemic

Keep at it no matter what with 100% involvement

January 07, 2021 Life Appraisal - Solo Talk Shwetha Krish - PD09
Hello,
So Today it is me alone talking about Life Appraisal!
We often tend to neglect and taking account of our life and where we stand on our personal growth meter.
Start now and Appraise your Life.
First question to ask yourself is “Am I happy?” If not list down the reasons as to what is stopping you to be happy?
Second question – “Am I in the best state of body and mind?” If not list down the reasons as to what is stopping you
Third questions- “Am I providing something of value to others be it in work or in your family or relationships?” If not list down the reasons as to what is hindering you
Fourth question- “Am I willing to take care of my wellbeing so that I can live life to the fullest which would in turn help in fostering better family relationships and also create better opportunities for myself in terms of work and passion?”
If yes, then list down the steps or a plan or simply put down tentative schedule for a day then a week then a month then a year.
You could do this exercise every day before you sleep. Or you could do it weekly or monthly or yearly but it is important to take account of your life and also whether are you growing as a person which is the most important thing which we often neglect?
Well, it is left upto you to decide on how you want to take care of your wellbeing. If leaving your job for a while is not the answer, try to indulge in wellbeing- Yoga, Cycling, Painting, Dancing every day. Make sure they become a part of your lifestyle. Also, try to inculcate your passions that you love to do. You never know when your passion could become your vocation for life. Make it work along with your current job, once you are able to make it financially or commercially viable then plan to quit your job if you are not happy with it. Then of course plan and hustle hard with your passion as long as it makes you happy and you are able to provide something beneficial for others.
It is your Life, live the way you want to. Life is so beautiful and all you need is a clear perception and understanding of Life. That can happen only when you turn inward and stop worrying about the external world.
I would like to leave you with one question-
Would your life be worth if you had all the money, achievements and materialistic things but don’t have health and zest in life to enjoy it?
Or would you rather be hale and hearty each day of your life no matter the situation as long as you are creating something which is beneficial for others?
Happy New Year to you all! May you delve into the inner journey and become better versions of yourselves to make a better world!
