Tania Ahsan, editor and author

P.S.: 'There is so much in a name,' what does your first name mean? Favourite colour? Soul number (sum of the digits of your date of birth reduced to numbers between 1 and 9. example: 12.04.1956= 1+2+4+1+9+5+6=3+4+3=1)?

Tania: My name is apparently short for Titania, Queen of the Fairies. An uncle also said it means 'happy'. My favourite colour is blue. Soul number is 5.

P.S.: Why do you do what you do? When did you start? And what's in it for you-personally?

Tania: I've always known that I would be a journalist and I've always known that I'm interested in spirituality and things beyond our five senses. I do what I do because I enjoy finding out more about things and then passing that information on. I personally get job satisfaction and the knowledge that I didn't compromise on my dreams.
 

P.S.: A Turning point: Was there a teacher, a book, or an event that inspired/influenced what you do, or started you on your path?

Tania: My father has always been a direct influence on my spiritual growth. My mother has been a more practical influence in that she has taught me moral certitude and has instilled the qualities of generosity, kindness and a complete inability to take bullsh*t from anyone! They are my primary teachers and inspiration.

P.S.: An unusual or special memory of an experience (or 'extra-ordinary' one), that still sticks in your mind? What was the significance of it for you, etc.?  (Something that you do not mind sharing)
