About Vrikshamandir

Stories shape us quietly

This website is my way of gathering the experiences, incidents, and insights that have marked my life — both my own and those of the people I met along the way. Some crossed my path briefly; others stayed longer and changed its direction. To each of them I remain deeply indebted.

Here you will find reflections that rose from ordinary days and extraordinary moments, as well as pages dedicated to the life stories of those who left a lasting imprint. Some of these accounts I have written myself. Others have been generously shared by people who knew them.

I do not claim to be an authority or a teacher. I am simply a narrator of experiences and of the learnings that grew from them in the form of text or poetry. If something here resonates with you, or if a story stirs a memory of your own, I hope you will feel welcome to stay a while, read, and perhaps leave a thought of your own.

Welcome to Vrikshamandir.

कभी भूले से भी अब याद भी आती नहीं जिन की

I want to narrate to the world, stories that are not remembered even by mistake ~ Wali Asi


This initiative started as an attempt to write memoirs but over time it has become much more than that. Dedicated to stories and conversations on human development, culture and tradition.

प्रारंभ में इस प्रयास का ध्येय तो केवल अपने संस्मरण लिखने का था, पर कालांतर में इसका स्वरूप बदला और अब भी बदल रहा है।

This initiative has been possible because of love and support of my former colleagues and friends. 
मानव विकास, संस्कृति और संवाद के प्रति समर्पित यह प्रयास मेरे प्रिय मित्रों और स्नेही जनों के सहयोग से ही संभव हो सका है
