ReplyDeleteI would say "Its Many Moods of Mona" Nice to see you in so many roles.
ReplyDeleteWhy have you not uploaded the events of this year? OMG please take out time for yourself too. I know this has been a great year in your career..... New role enthralling assignments but then no pics...... Please upgrade it as many of us keep viewing your blogs very frequently :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Lavanya! Thanks for reminding me to update the blog. Hope now you are happy. Got few things uploaded. Thanks for your motivation.
ReplyDeleteOMG....a celebrity with another celebrities......superb...
ReplyDeleteGreat going Mona Ma'am. Love you and miss you.
ReplyDeleteHi Mona!!! As usual you rock. Just recently I read somewhere that success is when you see your pics in google and not as your profile pic on FB what people do..... I just thought of you. I just need to google your name and I see so much of you. Its really a pleasure to know you. You have proved your words- Work works. Keep it up!!!
ReplyDeleteCool pics ma'am! How was the bash? Read in the paper about it. I am sure you must have been the mastermind behind the event. You are amazing in it!!! You are really in the right place now. All the best!!
ReplyDeleteYou've done us proud Mona,keep up all the good work. The paintings came as a pleasant surprise,love them.God bless you .Love.......Huma.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for such good words.
DeleteMona, you are no less than a celebrity......
ReplyDeleteYou have made all of us proud with your accomplishments. May God bless you!!!
Ma'am after you have become the director we hardly see you in NIE that is the only bad thing about your new work. Everyday in the morning we use to talk about you in the staff room after seeing your article/ picture or about your school. Now we miss this. But now we read about VVS Laxman very often and again talk about you....Ha Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteYou are not on Face Book? Searched for you every where and just googled your name and there I get to see so much about you. You have achieved so much in life and still the modesty that you carry. My God! It's difficult to really know you. Good I saw all this. All the best for the coming year.......
ReplyDeleteWish you a very progressive and prosperous new year. God bless you always!
ReplyDeleteVery nice collection. Now I understand why you are the kind of person you are! You are really too good Mona. All the best for all your endeavours.
ReplyDeleteMona you are a star......God bless you!
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration for many Mona Ma'am.
ReplyDeleteMona we are really very proud of you. You are a class apart..... God bless you.
ReplyDeleteWell said....Many celebrities with our celebrity!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mona!!! All the best for all your endeavours.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! Mona Ma'am you are amazing..... After a long time checked your blog. So many additions. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteAWWWWW Ma'am who is this angel? Your son's childhood picture? Who so ever but both of you look soooooo sweet.
ReplyDeleteWho is this baby Mona? I am sure not yours :-) But she resembles you a lot or may be you resemble her.... same sweetness same smile same spark.God bless you both.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your good wishes and compliments every one. I never knew that a simple blog would bring so much of appreciation. I am touched with this response. I am some how not comfortable with the entire concept of FB with due respect to all the users. I am a very private person and would like to be in my shell but thanks to technology nothing remains personal. Thank you all once again for your encouragement and support in my journey
DeleteHi Mona! So nice to see so many additions in your blog. Just recently met a parent of Orchids and the way she was talking about you. It seems you have created a vacuum in their life.But that's what Mona is! Right? Just moves away and before people realize the loss she is busy in a new venture. Really admire your talent. Where do you get the inspiration from? I know, it remains a mystery, we just see your smile. God Bless you.
ReplyDeleteyou always rock wherever you are and i have no doubts on that.... A committed person will always walk through success...good to see pics of your new assignment and the way it is moving on is very clear on these pics .... Ofcourse....its obvious in your leadership.... wishing you all success and happiness in every step of your life
ReplyDeleteMona Ma'am, it was just amazing to hear you live on Air on the occasion of women's day. You spoke so well and the messages were so clearly put across. We are so proud of you Ma'am!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the launch of VVS Sports Academy. Saw you in TV news last evening with Laxman. Madam you are going places. Really happy. Have started watching cricket because of your BOSS :-)
ReplyDeleteMa'am you seem to be the lucky charm for VVS Group. So many ventures in just a year. your hard work can never go waste. So happy to keep knowing about you.
ReplyDeleteAnother feather to whose Cap Mona? I really fell you have been the lucky charm for many. And maybe your selfless help for others has really brought you to a level where people would crave to be. May the Almighty bless you always!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your wishes. I am sorry for not responding to each one of you individually and regularly but I try and read your messages regularly. I am really honoured to have well wishers like you all. Require your wishes and blessings always.
ReplyDeleteMona keep up the good work and keep shining!!! You are a born leader. Who else can know this but your Sis.....Proud of you.
ReplyDeleteSuperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Mona Ma'am!!! Worth knowing you. Congrats for all your achievements. Looking forward to meet you soon.
ReplyDeleteMaam you have changed your job? when we met you you were the Principal of International school. Now you are with VVS Laxman sir. Congratulations maam. So happy to see that such great maam came to our school. Thank you maam.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the good wishes and support always. I complete a year with a new brand, new role and new challenges. This whole year has been a learning session for me in all spheres, hope it makes me a better person if not the best.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Ma'am! Wish you success and happiness always.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mona Ma'am!!!! Love you lots. So happy to see you doing so well in life. All the best Ma'am.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Mona for all your future endeavours. I very closely follow your blog and really feel happy to see you progressing in a very constructive direction. May God Bless you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mona Ma'am. Your sweet smile and lovely flowers compliment each other. Keep smiling ma'am and spread the fragrance of happiness and love where ever you go. Yet to meet a Principal like you, so dynamic yet so down to earth. We miss you Ma'am.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Mona! Keep rocking...........
ReplyDeleteYou are a self made person Mona. Coming to an unknown land with no God father around and being in the position you are today is not easy. I have seen you starting from scratch. My respect and love for you have multiplied in these years. May God bless you always.
ReplyDeleteThank you Swati, Deeti, Adi, Sudheer, Shilpa and Kavita for taking out time and visiting the blog and leaving your messages. I am touched. Thank you once again for the good wishes.
ReplyDeleteStill remember your words ma'am - there are no short cuts to success! You have given almost 2 decades to this industry. Your experience and knowledge is worth sharing, this generation requires dedicated and sincere leaders like you. All the best!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mona Ma'am!
ReplyDeleteHi Mona don't know if you still remember me. I was associated with your school thru workshops. And then lost touch and no one could share your contact details. Finally after an extensive search I could find you in Google. Would like to be connected again and let me compliment you have really achieved a lot in life and look still the same enthusiastic person. Pl respond.
ReplyDeleteHello Ma'am. Visited your blog after a long time. So happy to see so many additions. All the best.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mona!!! It really requires courage to leave an established set up and start from scratch. But then I know its your passion to experiment with life.....Keep going and follow your dreams.......Dreams are not what we see while sleeping but they don't let you sleep.....
ReplyDeleteThanks Devi for remembering to what I said. I firmly believe in it.
ReplyDelete@ Krishna- If I am correct we did cross our paths during the Leadership summit in New Delhi last year?
@ Shikha and Nasreen Thanks for the wishes and bajjo you are right these dreams don't let me sleep :-)
Ma'am what an irony, you were never fond of cricket and now you are working with a cricketer! How is your experience?
ReplyDeleteYes, we did meet at the leadership summit but I misplaced your card. Found it now, will connect soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat going Mona. All the best!
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures are too good Mona Ma'am. But many of the the events are missing. I know for you to put too many pics is very uneasy task. You want to remain behind the screen always. At least you permitted these.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Mona Ma'am! Too good to see your achievements. The Sports Academy is so much in news. Just read yesterday Shikar Dhawan quoting your lines while interacting with the students - "There are no short cuts to success". Immediately thought of you. Hope he was not your student:-) :-):-)
ReplyDeleteSo nice photos Ma'am. Very happy to see them. All the best.
ReplyDeleteWOW Mona! So finally landed to the field.... Great! It must have been fun...the IPL matches. So do we expect to see you for every match in Hyderabad?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ma'am. U are indeed a celebrity!
ReplyDeleteHi Everybody out there leaving lovely messages full of love and blessings for me. I truly appreciate your time and kind words.
ReplyDeleteYesssss IPL was a totally different experience for me reason being I am totally a no for cricket. But after this match, I really understood why people are so crazy about Cricket. Thanx to Sailaja for motivating me.
Mona, I have personally experienced in life that when you don't like something you land up there for sure... Same is with you and cricket. Happy to see that you are finally enjoying it:-)
ReplyDeleteAt times I wonder do you ever feel low in life? I have known you from years and in all these years your vigour, positivity, strength and smile has never changed. This is something which is very unusual, people do have mood swings but Mona you carry your self with so much of poise and grace in all the situations that it is impossible to know if you ever had a rough phase in life. Just love this approach of yours.
ReplyDeleteKavita, I can just say that "Problems and stress are part of life, dealing with them gracefully is an art of Life." Having faith in God and by being a good human being nothing can shatter you, I have personally witnessed it and firmly believe in it. Negativity leads you no where.....
ReplyDeleteLovely pics Ma'am. Pl come on FB. It will be a pleasure to keep knowing about you without much struggling. I have searched for you sooooooo much. But happy that I found you.
ReplyDeleteLooks you are too busy these days ma'am. Very few updates are there and no addition in the painting section. Keep our blog updated ma'am as this is the only way we are able to connect with you.
ReplyDeleteWow Ma'am you and IPL! Really nice to see this. I still remember your cold response towards cricket but now it seems you have started enjoying it.All the best!
ReplyDeleteMa'am where are you these days? No updates. If I can request Please come on FB we all want to connect with you. Plz Ma'am :-)
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for your messages all of you. Love you all for that. Ravi and Deepti, honestly speaking I have been handling such cases of FB maniacs that don't think will be a part of it, again all due respect to the users. But I totally fail to understand the concept of changing dresses and putting up pictures and waiting for the likes of so called friends. I personally feel if there is some achievement professionally it comes on the official website or then you share it with your people- makes sense, if we want to share personal happiness with friends can do it directly or in a closed group, I see some just for sake friends lying in the friends list. For me friendship is ultimate and it is not to be shown off but to be cherished! If we want to connect with professionals google is the best, type the name and you get to see so much about a person which is a worth sharing material, then why to first publish, then hide then and all that stuff.... Connect me on LinkedIn for exchange of mails:-) But you guys carry on FB it's your age and era:-)
ReplyDeleteMona.....Don't be so serious about Friends and FB. There is hardly anything which lasts for ever. Sab naya naya josh hota hai:-)
ReplyDeleteOh that is cool! when did you go to Bangladesh? Was it a follow up trip after PM's visit:-) Looks you had fun there. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhen was this Bangladesh trip? I met you few weeks back but you did not mention about it.
ReplyDeleteMa'am the last three pictures are the way you looked those days. Your son has also grown up so much. He was a very sweet, cute baby those days. I am sooooo happy to connect with you.
ReplyDeleteWell said Mona! Would love to be your student and learn this art of life. God bless you. People like you are rare who go out of the way to help others.
ReplyDeleteHi Lavanya and Shilpa! It was Agartala and the driver insisted to visit the border so that's it! Not the follow up trip:-(
ReplyDelete@ Varshil - Time flies and change is one thing which is consistent. No change in it:-(
@ Kavita - I am a firm teacher too, think before you become my student.... Won't let you go then:-(
Lot of additions from the time I visited your blog. Good to see you in a happening place making things happen! When is the launch of the Foundation? Celebrity show Madam!!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of additions Mona. Nice to see them and know your working. Good to be associated with a dynamic educationist yet a modest and genuine person like you. A rare combination.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm ma'am so many editions! Ma'am I agree to what you feel about FB and will not insist you for it. Basically people of your profile don't need such things. All the best Ma'am.
ReplyDeleteYou are not taking my call Mona. Wanted to keep you posted of a Mumbai based research company who is very keen on taking your interview on certain domains of education sector. They have been persuading me to connect them with you but Madam aap tu aap ho! Please call me if you see this msg. I have also sent 2 sms. Please reply.
ReplyDeleteNidhi, Ritu & Deepti sorry for the late response. Thank you for the encouraging words.
ReplyDelete@ Adi - Thanks for connecting me to Devika and team. They are doing a great job and as you have spoken so high about that may be they are expecting too much from me. I am struggling to live up to your words. But things are going on smooth as of now. Thank you once again.
Where are you Mona? Why this long spell of silence? No updates? Very busy?
ReplyDeleteMadam why this long spell of silence??? You are not taking the call even. Hope all well. Or are you on wheels again?
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! So this is what kept you busy. I thought so.... You must be travelling! Pondicherry is a good place. Nice to see your son. God bless him!
ReplyDeleteWow Mona! You don't look like a mom of a 21 years old son! You both look friends more. Seriously you are amazing! May God bless you both.
ReplyDeleteMa'am you look so different in western outfits. Also so you and fresh! It looks you are enjoying your new role a lot. Nice to see you Ma'am after a long time.
ReplyDeleteGreat Mona! Always a pleasure to see you in different roles. A cool Mom this time! beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! Yes a long spell of silence..... But then the outcome was good:-) Saif is 21 now and I am unable to believe it! Time flies..... We both grew together, he is more a friend to me than a son!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kavita, Shilpa, Devi and Adi for the sweet comments and wishes.
Wish you a very Happy Birthday Ma'am. Missing you!
ReplyDeleteOh it was your birthday? I believe yesterday. Many Happy returns of the day. May you have a great life with lots of happiness and peace around always.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the birthday pics birthday girl? I heard you have cut half a dozen cakes. Fan following is increasing......
ReplyDeleteThanks Deepti for remembering my day and your wishes. Adi and Lavanya thank you for the wishes and yes the cakes were yummmmmy:-):-)
ReplyDeleteLavanya darling, pics on your request which I would have personally never thought of putting. I think time has come to change....... Which I know I can't:-) :-)
Well said Mona - one more year on this Planet! Don't know where we go next... There is life in Mars too, they say:-)
ReplyDeleteMona you have lost weight and looking 5 years younger to what I saw you recently. Great! That's the spirit! Turning graceful with each passing year. Congrats and welcome to Club 40:-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ma'am. All the best for the year ahead!! Keep your charm alive. We look up at you for inspiration always.
ReplyDeletePretty pics Ma'am. Looking as usual glamorous, gorgeous and very sweet with your lovely smile.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pics Ma'am. We need to learn to live life from you. So many accomplishments and yet so grounded. It speaks of your royal roots.
ReplyDeleteMa'am........ Wow wow wow! I just can't believe this. Our Mona Ma'am is such a personality....... Got to know about your blog from someone very close to you.... I checked it and finally got to see so much about you.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for the compliments and wishes. You guys really rock!!!
ReplyDeleteVasu is it that seeing is believing? Till the time you had not seen the pics you had doubts on your Mona Ma'am? And you know well more than 75% will not be displayed then???
So your next venture taking shape..... I am sure a different role altogether.... being a donor! Laxman is known for his silent performance and what a team member he has.... would not speak a word extra!! All the best Mona!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Ma'am! The VVS Cup is in news. I believe it has started from today. All the best!
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am, reading everyday about the VVS Cup Tournament. I believe the Finals are on 12th Oct. All the best. Hope to see you in news:-)
ReplyDeleteMona I really need to complement you for your spirit. The way you are handling these ventures seems to be a cake walk to others....... But being so close to you I know the amount of efforts you have put in....... Giving shape to a celeb's dream is not a joke..... But you did it!! Congrats to you and your never dying spirit! Kudos!!
ReplyDeleteMa'am this is incredible! You have truly followed the IB philosophy -learn- unlearn - relearn !
ReplyDeleteWe need to learn from you soooooo much! You are unbeatable. ....
Mona....This is amazing!! In control of the entire situation!!!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mona! You seem to have taken charge of the entire group.....all the best! Have been hearing a lot about you these days......
ReplyDeleteMa'am tried meeting you but unable to get thru ....when and how to catchup? P suggest
ReplyDeleteFinally got to see you ma'am. Miss you so much and feel jealous of those near you. Want to be a part of yòur team again.......tell me how?
ReplyDeleteLife would have been so easy if people followed simplicity in thoughts like you- calm, composed and focused! Seeing happiness in others growth and prosperity. .....you are a pleasure to know!
ReplyDeleteWhat else do you do in life Mona, besides setting up new ventures? You are a master trainer, a painter, an administrator, a teacher, a motivational speaker, a mother, an artist........How to define you in a single word?
ReplyDeleteIf Mona doesn't mind I can define her in 3 simple words - good human being! That is what Mona is......
ReplyDeleteMona is...... Friend, philosopher and guide!
ReplyDeleteMona ma'am is - VARSATILE
ReplyDeleteMona jaisa ek dost bus Hai.... You won't require any one else in life.... But when she moves away nothing can fill that vacuum..... She is a wealth, a treasure to be handled with utmost care.....
ReplyDeleteOMG! So many definitions to Mona! Never thought of defining myself.....Thank you all for such lovely words....Not really sure what made you think so?
ReplyDeleteYes, VVS Foundation is picking up too fast. Working as a donor is an entirely different experience.
@ Lavanya - I love kids besides setting up new ventures:-) God has been kind enough that what ever I do is related to children. These kids teach me to rise and move ahead every time I fall.....Very similar to waves!!! And water fascinates me:-)
@ Puja - Learn - Unlearn - Relearn are the 3 rules of growth and progress. IB makes you future ready!!! As teachers we need to follow it too.
ReplyDeleteMa'am so nice to read these lines from you...... You are irreplaceable..... Rightly said - once you move ahead the vacuum can't be filled. We miss you ma'am....
ReplyDeleteI am sure Mona these people who have tried to define you have been associated with you professionally - personally you are very reserved. Wo bahut khushnaseeb hotai hain aap Jin Kai kareeb hotai hain!!! Very few know this......
ReplyDeleteKavita ma'am you are right. Most of us have worked with ma'am and have seen her as a strict administrator and the very next hour a caring and loving human being. She knows how to get the best out of people.
ReplyDeleteHappened to visit your blog after a long time Mona. Congrats for so many accomplishments. Pls keep me posted of these when we talk...... You don't even share the pics. Request you to do so regularly.
ReplyDeleteIt's very true that Personally Mona is very reserved and has her own world which very, very few can enter and then there is no exit door :-)
ReplyDeleteBut she is a very practical professional as well - once she moves ahead she doesn't look back....... No harsh feelings....... No vengeance..... In her own words - it was all for the growth of the organization!
Ma'am I keep reading these msgs on your blog and every comment /compliment makes me feel blessed to be your student once upon a time....
ReplyDeleteMa'am visited this blog after a long time and my God so many additions. Well defined ma'am - you are a class apart!
ReplyDeleteThe year is rushing fast as if it has to reach somewhere very similar to you Mona! It seems you are on a mission and have to reach somewhere....... Take a pause, look around and see the changes you have brought.... Feel them.... Enjoy them...
ReplyDeleteMa'am it's your king khan's bday today. Your loyalty towards him never changed no matter how many new faces stole the show. We still remember your fondness for him :-)
ReplyDeleteMa'am you are sooo busy these days that don't even look into the blog and read our messages:-( Everyday I check this to see your message....I am feeling bad:-(
ReplyDeleteLovely, sweet messages...... Thanks to all!!!
ReplyDelete@ Nasreen- Waqt agar waqt dai tab he tu ruk saktai hain :-)
I have promises to keep....and miles and miles to go before I sleep.......
I never leave people and promises midway......
@ James - I read almost all the messages but it's just that at times not in the frame of mind to reply. You can trust me for that. Don't feel bad... Every message means a lot to me!!!
WOW Ma'am! Unbelievable.....So many new new things happening in your life!! I am a big fan of VVS Laxman. Can I get his autograph? Is there any chance of meeting him? Please tell Ma'am.
ReplyDeleteMona, it seems some of your students are getting connected with you after years.....I think this is the best gift for a teacher! Read their comments and it looks its not only VVS Group but all other places where you have worked has seen the golden period under your leadership. Keep going....
ReplyDeleteYes Adi! This is the best reward a teacher can get. Getting connected to your students who would have waited for you to be on a leave everyday but as they grow they realize your contribution in shaping their future. I am blessed to have wonderful students who connect and make me realize my efforts. God bless them all!!
ReplyDeleteMona, teachers like you are rare these days. The kind of attachment you had with every student of yours can never be forgotten....Even the students loved you inspite of you being firm with them.
ReplyDeleteMa'am, you were missed in Hyderabad Spell Bee but got to know you were there in Vizag for this. The new pronouncer was being compared at every word:-)
ReplyDeleteMa'am, just recently we were talking about simplicity/ grace/ class/ culture and you won't believe every body unanimously named you to be a person having all these qualities. some of us have been fortunate to visit your house as well and entire aura is soooo classy!!! We miss you.... When can we drop in to have coffee with you again? More then the coffee we want to just be with you....
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Mona! So difficult to say out of the four kids who is the cutest.... Reminds of spring. So very fresh and pleasing. The doll in pink is your favorite it seems :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nasreen for the compliment.
ReplyDelete@ Deepti - I always knew that light travel fastest but now the law has to be "News travel faster than....:-)
@ Swati - You all are always welcome. I believe that money can get you luxuries, get the most expensive ornaments and attires but class is inherited. No one is that rich to buy it. I had mentioned earlier too, anything imitated looks fake and is easily noted, simplicity has it's own grace, no expiry date for it!!!
@ Adi- Yes that pink doll is my favorite these days.
Truly you are the winner Ma'am, who do things differently..... Love the flower power concept...superb..
ReplyDeleteWell defined - inherited class and acquired wealth. You are right.... and why? who else would know this than the Lady with the class herself!!!
ReplyDeleteVisited the blog after a long time Mona and really every pic speaks volumes of your dedication, determination and achievement!! Such a pleasure to see you rising so high and still your modest ways...simplicity unprecedented!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Mona, why don't you put your collage with the different moods and attire- traditional, western, saree and suits!! The one which some one gifted you with all your pics of different occasions...It's so nice.I am sure many of the viewers to your blog might not have seen you ever in those traditional outfits. If you can, please!
ReplyDeleteYes Ma'am that would be great. We would love to see you in various colours of life. Though have heard about it from the ones who have been to your place....They say it's an amazing collection!
ReplyDeleteMona would never put her personal pics on social media. You all are lucky enough to view these..... That too the credit goes to her assistant who does all this. Showing off herself and her possession are never on her list. In fact all these pics are also some where related to her professional life.... I know her well by now :-)
ReplyDeleteYes Lavanya very true,though Mona looks like an extrovert she is an ambivert who knows where to draw a line and just gets into her shell. She can exhibit her paintings but not her possessions of personal life..... People spend most of the time exhibiting their personal gains on FB the easiest way to show off and that is where Mona is sooo different.... I appreciate and learn a lot from her!
ReplyDeleteSimplicity unprecedented - absolutely true and totally apt for Mona ma'am. Adore her for that!
ReplyDeleteMona, zindagi ka itna tajruba tu nahi magar suna hai saadgi mai log jeenai nahi daitai :-) so be careful!
ReplyDeleteNot heard from you from a long time...where are you? The year is about to end.....and bring a new beginning!!
ReplyDeleteMa'am Pl share your diva pics with us too.... Besides it being the Christmas eve your charm was the real highlight! You stole the show as usual.
ReplyDeleteThe year gone by has made us strong, with few memorable moments and melodious songs..... Wish you all a great year ahead!!! Keep rocking...inspiring....and spreading happiness!!! May God Bless you all. Thanks for being a part of my journey, if not the destination!!!
ReplyDeleteMa'am wish you a great successful year ahead....
ReplyDeleteWOW....Truly a Diva!! Very stylish, elegant and gorgeous pics Mona!! Seriously, you are a class apart. May God Bless you always!
ReplyDeleteAmazing pics Mona! You look like a diva. Though it's not what I had asked you to put but still happy to see something extra beyond your work.... Have a great year ahead!
ReplyDeleteWow ma'am, amazing pics! You are looking stunning, gorgeous too beautiful! Hope you keep up the charm forever.......
ReplyDeleteWow Wow Wow Ma'am!your latest editions are suuuuuuperb!!Ma'am you inspire us in all the dimensions....Gorgeous, graceful and so simple....Have a great year ahead Ma'am.
ReplyDeleteOMG Mona! It's a surprise to see your latest pics...Amazing!! Good you don't share these frequently else people like us would get complexes.You look like a diva - glamorous, gorgeous,dazzling, trendy......yet sooooo simple!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiiiiiiiful.... That's all I can say. Mona, you have a style of your own... The grace and charm that you carry is remarkable! Have a great year ahead.
ReplyDeleteMa'am you look so different and so young in the first two pics... Your new role is leaving an impact on your personality..
ReplyDeleteMona, you are a rare combination of beauty with brains...adorable, simply gorgeous.... I am unable to believe, this diva is the same who heads organizations and puts up the best of the shows.... Truly incredible!
ReplyDeleteMa'am after leaving Orchids you have become more gorgeous, slim and glamorous...Kya baat hai!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent pics Mona! What a nice way to start the year....Have a blast...Enjoy to the fullest. You deserve it!!
ReplyDeleteThaaaaaaanks a ton Mona for sharing such fantablous pics!!!You are a real Jewish beauty.....And your love for flowers have added charm to these pics...A real feast for the eyes!!
ReplyDeleteMa'am you are looking so different in the first two pictures. First I thought it is your younger sister but when I read the msgs I understood it is you. You are looking very very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMa'am soooooo happy to see you after such a long time..... You are looking so young and slim... You look like your son's sister rather than mother. Toooooo good pics.
ReplyDeleteWish you all a very happy year ahead! Thank you all for such wonderful words. Your flaunting vocabulary mesmerizes me!!! Love you guys for your words, time and thoughtfulness.
ReplyDeleteMa'am again such a long spell of silence... Why don't you keep posting more frequently? There are so many things you keep doing....
ReplyDeleteYes Mona it's been long you are not posting anything... Again on wheels?? How has the year started?
ReplyDeleteMa'am where are you? Missing you! Pl add something.... Everyday I check your blog with a hope to get motivated.....
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! Sorry for being out for too long.... But then there has to be something worth sharing to put up on a blog. Putting up some nonsense is not acceptable on social media. Every word speaks volumes about your personality. Silence is a bliss at times.....but then lot of things happening which I would definitely share when the right time comes....
ReplyDeleteAgreed Mona and appreciate your silence and patience. There is expectation of a class in your posts and not some copy paste stuff. We look forward to see your work soon.... All the best.
ReplyDeleteYes Mona, your blog speaks of your versatile personality. We view it with a hope and expectation to see something creative and good happening around you. No hurry, take your time.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you after a long time Ma'am. You people are doing a good and silent work for the Foundation. But people are getting to know about it:-)
ReplyDeleteMa'am I see a belt on your elbow, hope all well?
WOW ma'am!!! After a long time I have visited this blog. You simply look stunning, gorgeous, fantastic.....short of words now...Amazing ma'am simply superb!! You are a celebrity...
ReplyDeleteYou are a CELEBRITY yourself Mona. But your simplicity is to be adored and followed. So grounded, in spite of all your achievements. Hats off to you.
ReplyDeleteMa'am VVS Academy is again in news.Not sure if you have seen it in the leading dailies. One is for Summer Camp and the other is the above 16 selection....Is Mr Laxman going to be present on the selection day? I want to see him once face to face:-)Pl help
ReplyDeleteUnable to connect with you...Tried calling... Are you in town or travelling? Please call if you happen to see this message...Something interesting to share:-)
ReplyDeleteSo there I am, with a dream come true! Shiv Khera whose book "You Can Win" has been with me from 2002 and I consider it as my Bible. I have waited for almost 14 years to meet him, hear him personally. Those 8 hours of his workshop have been the most fruitful hours, where you come out with a feeling of being a self motivated person surpassing the crab mentality and just going ahead... helping others to outshine too!!! An incredible experience... A treat for myself to celebrate womanhood!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for understanding my silence and still following the blog, leaving lovely messages, in spite of the fact that I am unable to respond to you all individually. But then I feel this is the basic difference of Face book and a blog. Keep inspiring me...It means a lot.
ReplyDeleteMona Ma'am!!!!! Great to see you with your Shiv Khera...Oh God! I am so happy that you finally met him. Who doesn't know about your Bible always kept on the left side of your table...I can still visualize it...Just before meetings, you use to turn pages and address all of us... Soooo happy for you!! Always a winner!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent Mona! Nothing less is expected from you. You have reached a stage where people look up at you for motivation and still you attend these workshops. This is sharpening the axe!
ReplyDeleteWOW Mona! Finally with the real hero!!! Looks you had a good interaction with him. I am sure this was the happiest day of your life. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteMa'am so nice to see you with Mr shiv khera. You always admired and read his books... And we admire and follow you. Shiv khera inspires you but you inspire us!
ReplyDeleteWow... Shiv Khera......you are always a winner Ma'am..... I remember hw I felt relaxed after my moral talk in the school assembly from his You CAN WIN' GIGO......n you were the one who introduced this book to us....... Really m so happy n proud of you .
ReplyDeleteExcellent! You are known by the company you be with.... So do we see another motivational speaker of international fame in days to come? You are known to have motivated so many students and teachers who have acknowledged you in so many ways...... But the best is you be with them till they reach their destination..... That's incredible!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you with whose who in various fields....what next?? You are a celebrity yourself Mona, till now if a student sees your signature exclaims with joy... That is what you have earned in all these years. Its a pleasure to be associated.
ReplyDeleteMa'am congratulations! Being with Shiv khera is not an easy thing.... First you need to have an inclination then that mental level to relish his talks.... And you are the rarest combination of beauty and brains!
ReplyDeleteGreat Mona Ma'am!You are a class apart....Just out of the worldly rat race...You have your own world with set principles, values, ethics and commitments. Nothing deviates you...Neither the flattery not the glitterati... Kudos!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You have provided once again that winners do things differently..... A motivational speaker, a leader herself sits to listen another speaker!!! Amazing....
ReplyDeleteVery nice to see you with Mr shiv khera.. All the best ma'am.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Ma'am!!! You are a winner always. People who stand for others are the true leaders.... You are one!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG Mona ma'am! What achievements!! And still the way you are? Visited the blog after a long time and this is too much.... You don't even mention about any of these things when ever we speak. I am sad because of this.... Ma'am I think I am the last one to see these bcoz more than 95k people have viewed you on Google. You treated me as an outsider....
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! I keep enjoying your messages and that's the reason thought of getting back to you all a little early this time. Had invited Pragyan Ojha for our Play school Annual Day.It was fun to have him with us. I found him a sweet adorable soul..Just a kid by heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for appreciating the workshop attended. Shiv Khera is ultimate. If ever you guys get a chance just grab it and attend his sessions. They are helpful in real sense.
Good pics Mona. And yes you are no less than a celebrity!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice Mona Ma'am again with a cricketer:-) You have really made a place for yourself even here. You look very contended.....
ReplyDeleteOMG ma'am you were with pragyan Ojha! This is too good... We hyderabadis are very found of him. Please let us know before hand when you are with these celebs..... Plz ma'am
ReplyDeleteThat's nice Mona, you are brushing shoulders with celebrities. This is called Right person in the right place!! Enjoy and rock as always!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Mona!! Nice to see you in different roles...Looks you have taken total control of the place, as usual:-)
ReplyDeleteVery colorful pics ma'am! Wish you a happy holi. Missing celebrating holi with you....
ReplyDeleteGreat Mona that's all I can say! And even I thought of you today.... You allowing everyone to apply color on your cheeks is still missed... You are a perfect example of communal harmony.... People should learn the art of living from you.... Any how enjoy the festivities!
ReplyDeleteEven though you mostly share pics related to your work Mona still we enjoy the freshness that you carry.... You have become a benchmark of success and professionalism! Keep going.... The best is yet to come....
ReplyDeleteOMG Madaaaam!!!You just rock...Now is it that we get to see you only with the whos who of the society?? Mona, give us some time too:-)Put some pics with people like us also on the blog:-(
ReplyDeleteJust Kidding....Enjoy the peak of your career... A dedicated, committed, sincere and hardworking person deserves all this and much more!!!!
Ma'am this is not to flatter you but you know business. Just recently we were talking about you and had so much to share about you, your ideas, your working style, your dedication, your balanced approach, your ways of handling pressure ....all with just a smile on your face...Chairman Sir was right..... your smile is your biggest asset!!!
ReplyDeleteMa'am just got lost with so much to see, admire and know about you!!!I am still trying to sink in to the thought that it was you with whom we spend an entire day and you were so down to earth....Never spoke anything of your accomplishments....You just kept saying that teach them - they will learn, but do it honestly!!!! You were right Ma'am very right... Learning is a process...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mona! All the best for the next innings. You are carrying your role very gracefully.... A very dignified pic.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ma'am! Though you are still missed in Orchids but you have reached the right place with the right people..... All the best for the next innings!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice to see you completing the 2nd Innings Ma'am!! Looks like Virat playing till the last ball:-):-)
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the year ahead.....
Wow suuuuuper Mona ma'am... Your new hairstyle is so classy! You look so elegant and sophisticated and your simplicity adds charm to these pics. Congratulations ma'am for the 2nd innings.....
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mona! But I have to ask... Tum jo itna muskura rahai ho kya gum Hai jis ko chupa rahai ho.... Sometimes I feel behind this pretty simple smile there is a lot unsaid.... But anyways you look very dignified!
