My New Year started with a bang..

We all want our new year to be special. It was special to my family and me because we met our friends who live in Cincinnati after three years. After my wedding, this was the first time I was taking a flight on New Year’s Eve. Yes, I landed in the USA on Dec 31st. We left for Cincinnati on Christmas Eve and returned on New Year’s Eve. Before leaving, registrations for Orange Flower Awards have started, and like last year, I registered at the last minute. First, nomination, then women’s web email about getting shortlisted. I was happy to be shortlisted again for the most empowering podcast category. But the true surprise came in the form of their email notifying that “you are one of the awardees”.

I guess they very well knew how exciting this news could be, and that’s why they strictly mentioned in their email about not saying it on social media or to anyone until they disclose it on their platform. Honestly speaking, it was tough for me to digest this news. I would have shared it if the email hasn’t prompted us not to do so. But then, finally, the wait was over. It was live. And here is how my trophy for Runner-Up – The Best Empowering Podcast looks. Isn’t it pretty?

Now comes the second update:

Ever since Baton Baton Mein has started, I have wanted it to reach more and more people. But to reach a wider audience, it needs a platform with a broader reach. Maybe the Universe sensed my thoughts. And I got an opportunity to collaborate with Sochcast- Audio platform to share your Soch, record your thoughts on audio & let the world listen Apni Soch Duniya Ko Sunao aur Suno Duniya Ki Soch.

Now you listen to Baton Baton Mein on Sochcast. You can also listen to this show on iTunes, Spotify, Gaana, Jio Saavn, Amazon Music, Audible, Google Home, Google Play, Hangama. Very soon, it will be released on other platforms as well.

There is something more..

Apart from this, there is one more thing that I am looking forward to – To see my second book summary on KukuFM. “Chanakya in Daily Life” was the first book summary I recorded for KukuFM. I wish to record many more book summaries for my listeners.

When the New Year starts with so many encouraging moments, it fills us with many positive feelings. And it motivates us to keep working hard. So, I am glad that my New Year started on a beautiful note.
