My Zen Path

Dear reader,

This newsletter is out of schedule because my work has become more demanding these days. I've somehow managed to get it out on the last day of the month. :-)

subscriber, do read it and share your inputs - how do you engage with your favorite possession?

Cheers,
~ Manish @ MyZenPath.com
