The 14-Day Challenge  \nNotes  \nAcknowledgements  \nAbout the Book  \nAbout the Author  \nCopyright  \nIntroduction  \nON 31  \nwas  \nDECEMBER 2019, I WENT OUT FOR A COFFEE WITH my daughter. I happy that she was in India and with me for the new year. We  \nclicked selfies, shared them on social media and wished each other a‘Happy New Year ’. We were hopeful and optimistic, looking for a new beginning, a fresh start. Even for the most cynical among us, the start of something is always exciting. It feels like a blank canvas on which we are free to paint as we please.  \nWhen we wished each other joy, health, happiness, prosperity for the next year, we sincerely believed it would be better than the last. The year 2020 was special—not only was it a brand new year but also a brand new decade.  \nLittle did we know it would turn out to be one of the worst we’d ever faced.  \nI had grand plans, like many of us. My thirteenth book was to be launched, and tours had already been planned. The marketing strategy was in place. Months of effort that went into writing would now culminate in a physical book—one of the highlights of a writer ’s life.  \nIn March 2020—when the pandemic had only just reared its ugly head and we had no idea what lay in store—I was in Mumbai for the cover launch of my book. There was uncertainty in the air, but the magnitude of what was to come had not sunk in yet. My book event was cancelled, and I barely managed to make it back home to Bengaluru. I did not know it then, but it would be at least five more months before I could step out of my residential complex.  \nOn the personal front, I had planned to be in Singapore in August 2020 to watch my children graduate. As the lockdowns kept getting extended, I began to lose all hope of seeing my children any time soon. After several months of uncertainty, my son and my daughter managed to move countries during the pandemic on special evacuation flights, and successfully completed the mandated quarantine. I think I greyed more in fifteen days than I have done in fifteen years.  \nEventually, my book launch was organized online. My children’s graduation ceremony was online. They happened, and we were glad, but they just didn’t feel the same.  \nA writer ’s job is a solitary one. Even before the pandemic struck, my work did not involve going out or meeting other people. I stay at home, and I let my imagination soar. My office is inside my head. And yet, the pandemic affected me badly. One cannot be immune to what is happening around them. For months, I was in such shock that I couldn’t work on any fiction.  \nThe world had turned upside down. As I type this, the dreaded COVID- 19 has taken the lives of over 2.78 million people worldwide. It has caused losses amounting to billions of dollars. Today, we are in a strange situation, forced to co-exist with fear, uncertainty and a general bleakness hanging in the air. Though vaccines are now out, there’s not a single person I know who believes this wil","cbCairJKzl26dIIh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairJKzl26dIIh","pdf",4793279,185,"English","# Introduction\n## Understanding the Magic Mindset\n## Practising the Magic Mindset\n## Sustaining the Magic Mindset: Fight the Drains\n## Fun with the Magic Mindset!
