“Work life balance is not something you find, its something you create. In an industry like Real Estate, remember one thing, you cannot be everywhere and capture everything, be a smart worker, network with the right people and keep your goals achievable. Ensure you take breaks often and spend time with your family and friends. When it comes to work, focus on quality and transparency no matter what and that will keep you in business. Doesn't matter what the world says, trust in yourself as nobody can proceed with that, learn from your failures and never give up. Challenges will always be there overcoming them is what makes you unique. I am a doting mother of twin teenagers and with the right mindset I am able to balance my hectic work and home together.”

“In the real estate industry we have to work on holidays and during all festivals. As these are business days, we have to sacrifice family time and the only solution for mothers is to hand her kids to other family members so that they enjoy their festivals and family time. Only solution left is to spend quality time with kids during her week offs and make children understand her work priorities as ultimately it is for their better future. No mother likes to be away from kids without any financial need.”
