Making ideas come alive through words

Bala Mookoni grew up gazing at the sea from sun-kissed coasts, dreaming of many things he did not have (a beautiful mermaid included). He spent much of his younger years in the Deccan Plateau, working with men, machines and glass-melting furnaces. Now closer to the Thar Desert, he bid goodbye to a corporate career as a Vice-President and is working on what he missed for many years: life and executive coaching, doing things with his own hands, being more involved with his family (though he unwittingly ends up breathing down their necks) and having a cute Shih-Tzu at home. In-between, the author in him writes books. Like wine, apparently, he is getting better with age. And yes, he never found his mermaid but has instead a woman just as mysterious. His strong-willed daughter lives in Germany, and his teenaged son quickly takes his mother’s side when there is domestic discord.

When he is not writing or coaching, Bala consults for a US engineering company or works in the basement of his condo trying to ensure the water from the sewage treatment plant there smells good.
