The insights I’ve shared with you are mainly self-realized. In the course of an amazing, tiring, often scary and even agonizingly painful journey as fund raiser and CHD evangelist.

The 3 P’s have fuelled and sustained my decade long effort to help fund heart operations for under-privileged Indian children who have no chance of affording their life-saving surgery.

And in the process, they have influenced my life, way of thinking, and everything else I do in a way that would be hard to imagine being without.

I fondly look back over the last ten years, with a sense of nostalgia tinged with a little pride, a lot of satisfaction, and even more gratitude. What started as an uncertain experiment has turned into a career defining movement.

It is with a sense of renewed hope and optimism that I now await the coming years, more secure than in the past about harnessing Passion, Purpose and Persistence to the activities of the Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation.

Thank you for playing a role in it too.
