Not Just A Banker

A strong and confident woman with a charming personality, Raveena Deshraj Shrestha has been working in the banking sector for the past 23 years. 
Shrestha waves off the clichéd concept of ‘work-life balance’ saying it does not make sense these days. “We have to follow the idea of ‘work-life integration’ over that,” she says, explaining that one can make a call to one’s children when in office too, which makes a small but significant difference to one’s time management. “Yet, you cannot and should not mix-up personal and professional issues - we should always keep it separate,” she adds. 
 
In her spare time, Shrestha always engages herself in reading. A voracious reader, Shrestha believes that one lifetime is not enough for reading and learning. “I have an immense craving to read and learn and there is no particular genre that I stick to,” she shares. Her reading list has included books on quantum physics’ to rural development, gender issues, palmistry, body language, and Buddhist and Hindu scriptures. “I am currently reading the Quran and have a favourite in You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay,” she shares. 
 
Apart from reading, Shrestha takes interest in sports too. ‘”I enjoy watching live football matches – it is a game I used to love playing in my younger days,” she enthusiastically shares. A hard worker, Shrestha believes that taking a break is very important in a person’s life - be it small or big. “The monotony in our lives negatively impacts our creativity, making us dull,” Shrestha says. “Whenever I realise my stress level going up or my creativity going down, I take a break from the daily hustle-bustle; it is that point when I realise that I am not being who I am,” she explains.
 
Shrestha believes that breaks are not always meant to be vacations and long trips. “Just being at home is a break. Reading a book you bought or walking on the grass is a break and works as a form of meditation too.”
 
 This aside, Shrestha is found on Facebook and twitter as well and is a frequent tweeter. “I am in these social networking sites to keep myself updated on current affairs. It’s nice to keep your head down and talk to people globally,” she says. 
 
Looking forward to her dream to go to Hawaii for a holiday, Shrestha concludes that one must live one’s life along with work. “Sitting alone too can act as a break, and help you sort out your life. Just live your life,” she added.
