I lead a professional and personal life: CMD BHEL Dr Nalin Shinghal

Working late into the night, frequent tours, high-profile meetings, company's overall growth & performance, and so on have been an inevitable part of CMD BHEL Dr Nalin Shinghal's regular schedule. In fact, ask him when he last took a break or spent quality time at leisure with his family and he is almost short of an answer.

But things are about to ease out - a bit - for him in the near future for he is on the verge of retirement. In a recent light chat with Whispers In The Corridors Dr Nalin Shinghal opens up his heart on how he has been stealing some moments from his hectic schedule to relax himself.

Dr Shinghal says that an active life combined with yoga & pranayama helps him deal with stress. He says, "My routine, when not travelling is to get up early, take a 30-minute walk followed by yoga & Sudarshan Kriya. I read in my spare time which has become somewhat scarce in the last 15-years. I have covered various genres but Russian-born American writer ‘Ayn Rand’ is one of my favourites."

He says, "I enjoy trying out new things and have tried my hands at gardening, baking as well as various musical instruments, spending quality time with my family & friends."

He adds, "God has been very kind. There is little I would like to change in my own life. I strongly feel that as a society, we need to ensure children grow up in a caring environment. If I could change the world, I would give every child a caring environment to grow up in."
