May marks the end of hot weather across tropical countries, and growing up, it meant another significant milestone. June would be the month when schools would reopen after the long summer break, prompting us to pack our bags with books, our lunch boxes with yummy treats and our brains with lessons. This year, the reopening is likely to look different again — but even a virtual reopening will thrust our children back into the world of knowledge and learning.

Although most of us have graduated years (or decades!) back, there’s no reason why we cannot embrace the back-to-school spirit and continue this process of learning too. This month’s Victory Vitamin is thus packed with lessons, reflections, hope and positivity. Will you be present?

Best wishes,

Hi everyone,

World Health Day, World Earth Day and Easter were all lined up in April. These holidays signify something to all of us if you think about it — if you take care of your health, anything on earth is possible. So resurrect your hopes, dreams and desires.

With the second wave of Covid, I know that all of you must be anxious and stressed. And all those doom-drenched news clips and gloom-filled Whatsapp forwards only make it worse. Ironically, forwards do not take us forward — they only set us back. So take the mayhem out of May. Prioritize your mental health, as well as physical — think positive and stay negative. That’s why, in this issue of Victory Vitamin, I am focussing on sending you a dose of inspiration and joy. I hope this helps you in these turbulent times.

Take care,
Venkat

Hi everyone,

Vaccines, virus and hope — in keeping with the last year, March has maintained its roller-coaster trajectory too. But when you are on a roller-coaster, you have two options. Squeeze your eyes shut and scream with fear. Or strap in, open your eyes wide in anticipation and enjoy the ups and downs, the twists and turns.

While we can’t control which way the roller-coaster goes, we can always choose our responses and emotions. In this dose of Victory Vitamin, I aim to spread some positivity to help you stay connected so that you can make your choice more effectively. Though delivered late, it is piping hot with useful messages and relevant updates. Ready for the ride?

Hi everyone,

Some years fly by, some years drag on — and somehow 2020 is doing both at once. Can you believe we’re in September already?

This roller coaster of a year has been a busy one for me. Every adversity came with an opportunity; every new door opened up to reveal brand new challenges. There were lots of events, seminars, learnings and life lessons. And that’s when I realised that the best way to share them all with you would be through a monthly newsletter.

So welcome to the very first issue of Victory Vitamin! Here’s looking back at August and looking forward to the rest of the year.
Best,

Hi everyone,

Happy October! It is now officially the last quarter of the year that we will all remember forever.

First off, I’d like to thank you all for the overwhelming love and positive feedback I received on the first issue of Victory Vitamin. Your support has reaffirmed my decision to put my thoughts and experiences in a newsletter — and I hope to continue curating and sending you the best on leadership and professional growth each month.

I found myself in dire need of some humour and positivity over the last few days. So in this issue, you’ll see that reflected in my recommendations and round-ups. Hope you enjoy the issue!

Best,
