Dear Readers
I hope you are having a great time reading the IC Connect so far. I am really delighted to have started this journey with you a year ago. In the last 11 editions, we have been receiving your immense love and support through your articles, blogs, stories and highly appreciated feedback. Your feedbacks were something that gave our team motivation and kept us working with full zeal.
In order to save and conserve the environment, we have been issuing the e-version of our newsletter which will be continued henceforth. Now that we have completed a year, we have opened our doors from Fashion and Finance to General topics to be covered in our newsletter, to keep you connected with some vital everyday issues.
As an editor, with this 12th edition, I am bidding adieu to IC Connect. However, this would not put a disruption to your read as the team would continue sharing with you our monthly editions as per the schedule.
Being the editor of this newsletter has not been just another leadership position but a meaningful lifetime experience for me. I thank the audience and the contributors for being a crucial part of it. Wishing you all a great read in the future!

But self-realisation occurs only when life strikes you hard; when on an unfortunate day, either you or a loved one ends up on a hospital bed.

THE PRET IMPERATIVE
I became the head (Executive Director) of the FDCI, now nearly a decade ago. Our office was in an apartment in Saket, a common practice at that time. To reach the office on the second floor, we had to walk up the stairs and jump over a sleeping dog known for being aggressive when provoked.
