1993 to 1994 : Working and then Chambering in legal firms in Malaysia
From 1995 until now : From 1995, I worked in a legal firm as a lawyer. Later, I had also worked as the Head of the Litigation Department in 2 legal firms in Malaysia.
I had also set up my own legal firm and done counsel work for other legal firms until 1997/1998.
Then until 2000, I had only handled litigation matters (in law firms), when requested to do so.
From 2001/2002 until now, I have been a non-practicing Advocate and Solicitor.
1996 until now : I was writing articles based on the Brahma Kumaris knowledge, my spritual experiences and visions, history, my research, etc. Around 2002/2003 I had paid for a web-site to publish/post my articles. When I went to settle down in India around 2003/2004, I had stopped making the payments to keep this web-site active. So the web-site got closed. People were asking me why I closed my web-site, since they were reading my articles. So in September 2009, I came back into the internet to continue posting my articles. I decided to use free web-sites because it does not get closed if I don't make payments. Then I bought a web-address which I parked at one of my web-sites. This site, where my articles are posted, is:
2002 until now : Managing my own business in Malaysia for renting rooms. I am the Non-Practicing Advocate and Solicitor in this business.
2013 until now : Author and Publisher (GBK Publications).
In 2013, I established a business for publishing my books. I also set up a website (http://www.gbk-books.com/book ) for marketing the book. I have been writing books since 2014. Click here for my List of Books .
2018 until now : In 2018, the manager of the Shiv Baba Service Initiative team asked me to write the book titled “ How to Think ” since God (Shiv Baba) has said that this book should be written. Hence, I became a member of the Shiv Baba Service Initiative team and wrote the book. The members of the Shiv Baba Service Initiative team edited and developed the “How to Think” book further. This "How to Think" book was launched on 24th June, 2019.
Around 2019, the manager of the Shiv Baba Service Initiative team made me an Admin in five BK WhatsApp groups. Around the beginning of July 2020 he had made me an Admin in the Samadhan WhatsApp group which was involved with giving knowledge to people who had problems.
On the 1st of July 2020, I created the BK "To Golden Age" WhatsApp groups. Since many were joining and the other Admins requested for more of such groups, I created 4 more "To Golden Age WhatsApp groups within the month of July 2020. More were creating as the need arose.
Soon after creating the "To Golden Age" WhatsApp group on the 1st of July 2020, BK Bhumika and I teamed up to create 'murli extracts with explanations' on a daily basis for the members of the groups. I took murli extracts from the next day's murli and wrote explanations for them so that the readers can understand the contents of the murli. BK Bhumika translated what I wrote. BK Bhumika had actually contacted me on the 18th of May, 2020 because she wanted to know if I would post her drawings in the BK WhatsApp groups. I agreed and she would send me her drawings to post in the group. We became friends and that was how we teamed up after I created the "To Golden Age" WhatsApp group on the 1st of July 2020. Then, others BKs also got involved with translating the murli extract explanations, which I wrote, from English to Hindi. So the 'To Golden Age Service Team' was established for this. More and more people began participating in this service team to do service together with me.

For a few years from 2004 : I was the Secretary of the Puchong Jaya Selatan branch of a Malaysian political party called Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC).
NB: Though I had gone to India to settle down in 2003/2004, I had kept coming back to Malaysia because I had to take care of my business in Malaysia and because I was the Secretary in the Puchong Jaya Selatan branch of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC).
1979-1980 : I was helping Malaysian Indian community etc. through being the Secretary and then the President of the Indian Society in the Specialist Teachers’ Training College, in which I was studying.

DANCING :
Before 1977 : When I was a young girl, one of my sisters (who is currently living in England) had taught me how to dance to popular western songs.
In 1977 : I was taught the Indian stick dance (Kolatam). Later, I was dancing the Kolatam in the Specialist Teachers' Training College and then in the Brahma Kumaris.
2006/2007 : I was learning the Indian dance called Kuchipudi.
From 2007 until now : I began learning all sorts of other dances, e.g. Belly Dancing, Bhangra, Hip Hop, Coyote, Line Dancing, Jazz, Cha Cha Cha, Salsa, Merengue and other Latin dances, Waltz and other ballroom dances, etc. Out of all the dances that I was learning, I had liked Belly Dancing the best. So I began concentrating on becoming good at that. Belly Dancing was an ancient dance that was used for painless child-birth. This had brought to my mind on how the BK knowledge says that there will be painless child-birth in the Golden and Silver Ages.
In 2019 : I had set for my Level 1 Belly Dancing exam and passed it.
