Where performance becomes service.

Police departments, soldiers on the border, and doctors in the first wave of COVID-19.

Government departments

A turning point at the Crime Branch.

Because of his earlier civil-services coaching, government departments began to ask him for training. A major turning point came when Joint Commissioner of Police Meeran Borwankar invited him to conduct programmes for the Mumbai Police Crime Branch, focused on stress management and behavioural development.

After their success he conducted sessions for the Mumbai Police, the Navi Mumbai Police, other police units, the Sales Tax Department and the Cooperative Department, on stress management, emotional resilience and attitude development.

The nation's frontlines

Kargil and the Kashmir border.

He attended and performed during the Vijay Diwas celebrations in Kargil, and was invited by the Indian Army to conduct programmes for soldiers stationed along the Kashmir border, including units of the Rashtriya Rifles.

2020 · First wave of COVID-19

For the doctors who could not go home.

At a time when people were afraid to step outside, he was asked, with the support of his friend Sandeep Acharya, Additional Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai, and senior officer Mr. Kakani, to conduct stress-relief programmes for doctors. Many had worked for over a month without returning home. He gave special performances and interactive sessions to help them release stress and regain emotional strength.

Marathi daily Maharashtra Tarun Bharat reported on these sessions at the Balasaheb Thackeray Trauma Care Centre in Jogeshwari in January 2021, and on his free shows for cancer patients in hospitals.

The Calendar Never Lies

Pick any nine dates in a square. I know their total before you add.

How to play

  1. Imagine drawing a 3 × 3 square around any nine dates on the calendar.
  2. Tap only the smallest date, the top-left corner.
  3. I will announce the total before you add a thing.
How does it work?

The middle date is always the smallest plus 8, and the nine dates balance around it. The total is simply 9 times the middle date.
