Life+Love Zeta
This was a very different experience as it was first life class. We get to learn many things, and the facilitators had indeed planned it very interactive and interesting.

Shivali Ladhani’s reflection
Emotional intelligence involves the ability to recognise and regulate one’s emotions. This means being able to manage one’s emotions effectively, rather than being controlled by them. This ability will help be more optimistic and manifest for a better future.
Visit to the orphanage was indeed a very memorable experience. I was amazed to see the kids so positive there inspite of being in the orphanage. This helped me realise how lucky I’m and should stop cribbing about little things. What struck me most was while leaving, a kid first whispered, “mat jao” and then in person twice or thrice he came told, “mat jao” I wish I could stay there a little more and make them enjoy.
A big THANK YOU to Nandini ma’am and Evelyn ma’am for giving this opportunity and helping us be emotionally intelligent.
It will take persistence and commitment to master the skill
Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. It involves being self-aware and attuned to our own emotions, as well as the emotions of those around us, and using this information to guide our thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
EI encompasses a range of skills, including emotional awareness, empathy, self-regulation, motivation, and social skills. It is a valuable tool that can help us build stronger relationships, communicate more effectively, and lead happier, more fulfilling lives. EI can also play a significant role in our success in the workplace, as individuals with high levels of EI are often more successful in their careers and better equipped to handle stress and challenges.
The workshop was a great reminder of the importance of proactive decision making, setting clear goals, prioritizing our time and activities, seeking mutual understanding and benefit in relationships, working effectively with others, taking care of ourselves, and continuously growing and improving. I feel inspired to put these habits into practice and see the positive impact they can have in my life.
The session was very good and effective for me and both facilitator are very amazing they both shared your personal experiences with us . I have learned so many valuable things in your class. It’s very helpful to our day to day life.I am really admire your work and effort. Thank you and keep smiling always!!
The sessions were well planned with relevant activities. Got to know a lot of different perspectives, which helped widen the knowledge base.
In life class sessions, I learnt about the importance of love, forms it can be expressed in and different principles that need to be followed for a successful marriage, which includes but are not limited to commitment to love, Equality in marriage, Forgiveness in love, etc.
Marriage have different mental stages and one needs to fulfill all of them to demonstrate Unconditioned love, which only happens when enough time has been spent with your love partner.
We had a lot of discussion on religion, beliefs and their importance. I myself is a religious person and do have strong beliefs. During these 2 days I came across many different perspectives regarding religion and existence of God. Vardan sir’s session helped me understand that for being a good human (what all religions teach) we don’t need religion. We must have our own values which lead us to the right path. My new understanding after these classes is do think critically before following any belief and follow the practice which gives you peace. Your motive should be humanism and not religion. These sessions helped me clear my knowledge potholes and biases.
Things that we learned in the life + love class was really eye opening for me from 7 habits to talking about death. From bonding with other colleagues to playing games with them. I learned different forms of love and things that I am not doing correctly. With all the learnings I got I think there could’ve been more activities showing those real life situations where we can applied this and some mindful meditation sessions could have been done before starting the day.
I really thoroughly enjoyed and had an amazing time as these life classes gave a boost of energy to implement the crucial points not only in professional life but in personal life as well. All the videos and learnings in the life classes are actually very practical rather than just going through the bookish materials. I would sincerely like to thank my both facilitators Ms. Chaahat and Ms. Yasmin for such a wonderful first life class experience at fountainhead school. Looking forward for next year’s life class too.
