The thought of creating something indigenous and organic gave birth to Word Weave, the brain child of Anu Krishna!
Passion is the key ingredient for success and, success comes to those who take the first leap out of their comfort zone to seek what they love to do. Every individual, when they realize their passion, their love for a vocation, their dream to create and expand their goal, has duly arrived in the world of success. What follows later is, the persistence and perseverance that are needed to reach the goal post. And, this is exactly what Anu Krishna’s Word Weave is all about!
“The urge to impact people in a big way” as quoted by Anu Krishna, is a big statement in itself.
Anu is not just a coach whose mission in life is to spruce up communication skills in people, but also, to sow the seed of entrepreneurship in teenagers and women. Her firm, Word Weave conducts workshops on creative writing for children in the age group 8-11.
The other workshops include personal branding and responsive communication in English for teenagers and adults that is intended to help individuals gain confidence, and unleash their potential in their personal and professional space.
When asked about how she realized her dream of Word Weave, she explains that she had to rebel against herself to take the first baby steps into the world of entrepreneurship. Her moment of epiphany arrived when her determination to make a difference took shape from the very thought of a becoming an entrepreneur.
“People and their emotions come first, the other missing pieces find their way into the jigsaw puzzle.” That is how Anu’s Word Weave has grown by leaps and bounds. Her current aim is to provide as many children as possible with important lessons on personal development and creative writing that shall help them unlock their creative potential.

Rajshri Deshpande, who played the fiery protagonist in Trial by Fire along with Abhay Deol speaks of her journey and her social work.
Rajshri Deshpande as the protagonist in ‘Trial by Fire’, the recent Netflix show has received raving reviews along with the show itself for its sensitive portrayal of the Uphaar Cinema Hall fire tragedy, 1997 and its aftermath.
The limited series is based on the book by the same name written by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost both their children in the tragedy. We got an opportunity to interview Rajshri Deshpande who played Neelam Krishnamoorthy, the woman who has been relentlessly crusading in the court for holding the owners responsible for the sheer negligence.
Rajshri Deshpande is more than an actor. She is also a social warrior, the rare celebrity from the film industry who has also gone back to her roots to give to poverty struck farming villages in her native Marathwada, with her NGO Nabhangan Foundation. Of course a chance to speak with her one on one was a must!

The thirty-one-year-old marketing manager in a leading eCommerce company in India sat straight in her seat, her eyes on the screen, her fingers punching furiously into the keys. She was in a flow and wanted to finish the report while the thoughts and words were coming effortlessly into her mind.
Natu-Natu. The mellifluous ringtone interrupted her thoughts. She frowned at her mobile phone with half a mind to keep it ringing until she noticed the caller’s name on the screen, making her pick up the phone immediately.
