I think I have been aware of being self-aware for almost my whole life. In Class 2, I was speaking of self-love," laughs Nishtha Grover in an interview over the phone from Delhi. The 31-year-old publicist laughs at the dichotomy that aiming for a high moral compass in life creates. "In your attempt to be a better person, you could become toxic for others, because you judge them against your own standards."

Her own journey to better herself began over a decade ago and recently a personal crisis led her to a therapist. "When you look at the nuances and patterns in your life and wonder why certain results keep showing up, you try to understand who you are. Am I crazy, or spontaneous? Am I a confident person, as I sometimes behave, or under confident as I come across at other times?" The internal travel that she undertook has been the one journey that's still not found its destination. Layovers have happened on stops of activities like rifle shooting — and she admits that it does sound odd when placed against the canvas of peace she's trying to paint— meditation and a range of self-help books. Theatre, her latest discovery, is currently going a month-strong.
