13: Ashish Shah: Living Artfully a Life of Calm Balance, Meaning and Humility

Send a textAshish Shah’s is a story of having taken with grace what life put on his plate and making of it the most - balancing his sense of duty and his heritage with his interests and inclinations in an organic, spontaneous way. From being the only student of Indian descent throughout school, to the difficult schedule during his physician training, he took it in his stride and marched on unfazed and with humility. Ashish has led a life of deep meaning, not only in his professional life in pediatrics, but also through his passion for volunteering, all of this while enjoying it all and sprinkling it with a sense of humor. His ‘looking forward to Monday morning’ sums up not only his level of comfort and expertise in what he does but also his focus on what’s right and meaningful. By reigniting his passion for music, he has added another dimension of fun and meaning to his life. His beautiful, lilting music composition that you hear on this episode and his deep-rooted understanding of music is a testament to the fact that at any stage of one’s life, one can add richness and meaning if they choose to pursue a passion and give it time and energy while fulfilling the obligations and everyday demands of life. Ashish’s favorite volunteering organization:https://www.operationsmile.org/Follow me on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected and for more podcast episode updates:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bindia.puri.1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/indianamericanexperience
