I was born and raised in Kenya – and came to the UK at the age of 13 with all of my family. Since then I have lived in London for most of my adult life except for long visits to India and the USA.

I studied computer engineering at university, and since then have had varied but interesting, life moulding careers in IT, Banking, Food Marketing and Dot Com start-ups. Not quite the usual route taken by authors, but it was the perfect grounding for a future in inspirational and motivational writing!

I began my true life journey after a life-changing experience in India in April 2000 and that experience ultimately led me to a new career in coaching, writing and speaking.

I began my true life journey after a life-changing experience in India in April 2000 and that experience ultimately led me to a new career in coaching, writing and speaking.

Today, I am an author, speaker, coach and an expert blogger. I am passionate about showing my readers and clients how to create a healthy and happy life of deep meaning and how to find fulfillment in their careers and relationships.

My belief is that we are all meant to lead a healthy and happy life and we are also meant to leave the world a better place. Life is about creating a lasting legacy, no matter how big or small – and yet we can only do this once we have taken care of our own needs and desires first.

As someone passionate about leading the best life possible and making a difference to others at the same time, I bring all of my talents and interests to the table in an intoxicating cocktail which combine my love of healthy eating, inspirational writing, spiritual practices, yoga and creating fun events.

I share with you how it is possible to follow your dreams and create a great life for yourself, no matter what, and then I give you the resources and the tools you need to work towards those dreams.

Goodreads is a phenomenal community of readers, and as a voracious reader of self- help and inspirational books, I intend to meet and make friends with many wonderful, like-minded souls here in this fabulous community.

I have been gifted with a talent for bringing people together and creating communities and this is my true passion – how to bring more people together with a common cause.

As an author, I also plan to do a lot of fun stuff for my readers and my community as far as my books go, starting with an upcoming fun give-away of my Amazon best-selling book “Get the Life you Love” – more details soon.

What Is Your Life Saying to the World?

Bust of Mahatma Gandhi at ESI in Ahmedabad, with the book Moved by Love beside it

Gandhi at ESI, Ahmedabad. A photograph I took during my visit in Dec 2025.

I still remember crying as I watched Richard Attenborough’s film Gandhi in a cinema in Leicester Square.

We had made a special trip to London, just days after the film’s release. Watching it became a defining moment in my life, and I have returned to it many times since.

Gandhi had been one of my heroes from a young age. M

Arvind’s Quotes

“Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you will discover will be wonderful: Yourself.”
― Alan Alda
