Asif U Teekay

Born & educated in Mangalore. Relocated myself to Bangalore in 1985. An Aquarian with a tag of 3rd February. An Interior Designer by profession.

Happily married to Dr. Zakira with 2 lovely children Sarah (15 yrs) & Sahil (12 Yrs). Have every reason to rejoice the day of Jesus' birth, as Zakira came in to my life on this Great Day.

Hard work & sincerity - the key words for success. Off late started trying not to be a perfectionist and always believe in giving 100% to whatever I do. A spade for me would never go by any other name.

GCF with its homely atmosphere is an excellent platform to get rid of one's inhibitions & acquire perfect communication skills.

A people's person - I'd like to think I am the 'extra' in extraordinary....!

Born and raised in Mumbai, subsequently spent the latter part of my life outside India - 14 years in Dubai and 9 in Singapore. I have worked with a host of MNC's trying my hand at careers as vastly different as banking, PR and oil/gas industries. I was able to leverage on these opportunities by honing and developing both my personality and interpersonal skills. I have had the opportunity to meet and interact with individuals across a span of cultures. This is precisely what fanned my passion for traveling, the thrill of meeting different nationalities, experiencing different cultures and widening my horizons.

I am also the proud mother of two, both of whom reside in the US. With both kids now independently staying away from home, I find myself with an empty nest and am slowing trying to regain my confidence and independence. GCF is a step in the right direction, it has strengthened me tremendously and allowed me the freedom to discover within myself the passion to soar.

Greeks didn't write obituaries, they only asked one question after a man died, ‘Did he/she have passion? My answers to the Greeks are I am passionate about life and everything that life has to offer in general. In particular where my passion reverbrates are Yoga, communication and travel...not exactly in the same order..., I like to meet interesting people and travelling helps me in doing so. As far working on communication skill is related being a part of Wipro toastmasters club, Blr and Smoothtalkers toastmasters club, SFO has moulded me lot.

Apart from this my other passions include reading, writing and learning occult things starting from tarot reading to astrology. To fund all my interests I work as a software professional.

I draw my strength and inspiration from connecting and synerigizing with people.

I like to live a life Kingsize, I mean Queensize :-)

I am at the GCF to pick up the nuances of building connections and improving my interpersonal skills.

Born almost 5 decades ago, I am a Goan, married to a Punjabi and am a domiciled Kannadiga (here from 1961). My kids - Craig (21) and Nicole (almost 18) are warm and loving, and sometimes test me ... to see if I can practice what I preach.

I have thrived in four different professions - Merchant Navy Officer (1977 - 84) Builder (1984 - 1998) Corporate Trainer (1998 - 2007...). Husband of Anita (1984 - present).

I motivate people to move higher, and faster. I enjoy training the corporate world in Communication, Attitude Enhancement, Leadership and Team Building. I strive to build a better world, and love writing articles on Communication, Relationships, Stress Management and Attitude Enhancement.
