At the launch of Jasmin’s “Change Me”

With Bashabi Fraser, Usha Uthup, Neil Frazer and Vikas Jha

4 April, 2018: Today evening I attended the launch of Jasmin Waldmann’s book Change Me at the Hyatt Regency Kolkata. The event was organized by Prabha Khaitan Foundation in association with Hyatt Regency and Prayas. Jasmin Waldmann, who is from Germany, calls herself a “Life Coach”. She helps people manage their life in a manner to achieve their goals. She often helps people pick up the pieces of their lives and achieve targets when they hit a plateau. She came to India six years ago after getting a letter from cricketer M S Dhoni’s company.

From then on she has stayed back in India and has many corporate clients. Some high net worth individuals also approach her. She has had small roles in the two Bollywood films Bhag Milkha Bhag and Padman.

Her book “Change Me” is all about how to take charge of your life told through protagonist Amit. Usha Uthup and Vikas Jha were at the event, as were Neil and Bashabi Frazer.

There was an interactive session in which Usha Uthup, Bashabi Fraser, Birgit Holm, Hyatt General Manager, and Shraddha Agarwal of Prayas participated.

The Russian Consul General, Alexey Idamkin and Dy Consul General of Germany, Thomas Jurgen Schrod were present.

I met Bashabi whose earlier program I had missed on 31st March held at the ICCR, organized by The Bengal in association with British Council and ICCR.
