About
Aishwariya is a multi-talented girl with a thoughtful perspective on life. Her message to the world is clear: stop sharing everything about yourself and learn to stay quiet on social media. She encourages people to carry themselves like a humble king, confident, disciplined, and grounded. The booklet she prepared during Season 1, titled “Another Me,” reflects the deep effort and sincerity she invested into her work.
My Philosophy of Life and the rules I live by:
For me, life is a rainbow, not black and white. Every moment carries a different shade of color. What I see, hear, feel, and experience are all privileges I have been given. I believe the ultimate goal of life is to achieve peace more than happiness.
To achieve that peace, I try to live by a few principles:
Resilience
If people around me were asked to describe me in one word, it would probably be resilience. I have learned the art of getting back up whenever I fail or make mistakes. I was not always this way. I used to be afraid of failures and mistakes, and it took me a long time to recover from them. Over the years, I learned that growth takes time. So whenever life knocks you down, remember that getting back up may not happen overnight—but it will happen if you keep trying.
Speak the Truth or Stay Silent
We cannot hide lies forever, so why lie? I believe that people who lie eventually stop trusting themselves as well. My parents taught me the importance of speaking the truth, and life has only strengthened that lesson. Through my own experiences, I have learned that if we do not wish to speak the truth, it is often better to remain silent. Truthfulness brings peace of mind, and peace is worth protecting.
Do Not Judge People Too Quickly
One of the biggest lessons I have learned through books and life is that people do not always remain the same. Good judgment helps us surround ourselves with the right people, but we should also remember that everyone has the ability to improve and change if they choose to. This way of thinking helps me respect people even when they may seem off-putting at first. Instead of focusing only on someone's flaws, I try to look for their strengths and positive qualities.
Give Respect, Take Respect
Respect has become a habit in my life. Simple words such as “sir,” “ma’am,” “brother,” “sister,” “please,” “excuse me,” and “thank you” reflect how we treat others. Another important principle for me is avoiding disrespectful language, regardless of the situation. Following this mindset has helped me build and maintain some truly valuable friendships. Most people appreciate being respected, and I believe that when you respect others, they usually respect you in return. If someone repeatedly disrespects you, however, it may be a sign that it is time to walk away.
Slow Down
Life exists in small moments. I make time every day to pause, breathe, and appreciate simple things. Whether it is watching water bubbles, observing nature, or simply being present, these small moments make my day special. They remind me to stay grounded and connected to the present instead of constantly rushing toward the future.
Gratitude
There was a time when expressing gratitude did not come naturally to me. Reading The Secret changed my perspective. Today, I make it a habit to thank the Almighty every day. For some, that may be God, the universe, or a higher energy. The more I understand life, the more I realize how much I owe to the people, books, experiences, and situations that have guided me. What I am today, and what I will become tomorrow, is possible because of them.
Balance
I am building my life with the goal of achieving balance in every direction while continuing to chase my dreams. I believe peace comes when we learn to appreciate life's colors, remain resilient through challenges, treat others with respect, stay grateful for what we have, and continue growing without losing ourselves in the process.Book Summary: "Aishwarya Shinde's Booklet"
Another Me by Aishwarya Shinde
What if your greatest life coach was simply... you?
Ariel is a 20-year-old overthinker who hides in library corners, avoids social media, and has mastered the art of shrinking herself. One exhausted night she mutters, "I wish I had another me!", falls asleep, and actually gets one.
Enter Leira. Same face. Same voice. Completely opposite personality.
Where Ariel is quietly bookish with barely any friends, Leira is glamorous, boldly expressive, and Instagram-famous. Even their names mirror each other. Two girls, two worlds, one soul split into contrasting halves, and somehow, magically, they can hear each other across their dreams.
What begins as mutual suspicion quickly becomes something far more precious. Leira teaches Ariel to stop shrinking, to hold conversations, take up space, and finally accept the class representative role she'd been nervously dodging. Ariel, in return, holds up a mirror Leira desperately needed. When a careless online comment spirals into a trolling storm that destroys another creator's account, Ariel pushes Leira toward real accountability. She challenges her to stop measuring her worth in follower counts. She notices the dust-covered guitar in the corner and simply says, use that.
Then there's Noel, Leira's childhood best friend, secret love, and greatest fear. Ariel gives her the push she needs. What follows is Leira performing an original heartfelt song under a winter tree, red roses, one knee on the ground, and the confession both of them had been waiting for.
Their last dream together is tender and beautiful. Ariel tells Leira:
"When you look in the mirror, you can meet me. When you hear your heart, you can hear me."
Because that's the whole point. Leira was never a stranger from another world. She was the bold, courageous version of Ariel that had always lived inside her, waiting to be heard above the noise. And Ariel was the grounded, wise voice Leira had been drowning out with notifications and self-doubt.
They didn't need to fix each other. They needed to become each other, just a little.
In 76 warm, witty pages, Another Me sneaks in powerful lessons about social media accountability, self-worth, emotional courage, and the quiet voice within you that always knows better, all while you're simply lost in a story that feels like a hug.
Open it. The other you is already waiting.
