The corporeal world infatuates many. The marathon to be at the top and achieve material gains is the generic expectation and aspiration that inundates society in contemporary times. However, some people want no part in the ‘rat race.’ They strive to make the world a kinder and more empathetic place by spreading happiness and disseminating kindness. Mehjabeen is someone whose eyes glimmer with hope and whose empathy knows no bounds. In a world of trying to co-opt, coerce, and capture, Mehjabeen took the path less trodden up by being a devout social activist.
Dr. Mehjabeen is the founder of Vison high she has done many mental health awareness campaigns in old homes and orphanages
Mehjabeen always envisaged opening a school for underprivileged children. She vehemently worked to make her dream a reality and finally opened a school for the needy and disadvantaged. Mehjabeen has educated more than 500 kids from rural India, and her school acted as a highway for underprivileged and zealous children to pursue their education. Her journey at giving back to society was undulating, and there were several difficulties. But, where there is a will, there is a way, and Mehjabeen’s story embodies that sentiment. She says, ‘It was not easy to achieve what we wanted, there were obstacles, but we kept our goal in mind and never gave up.’ She opines that although the destination is sweet, the trials and tribulations of the journey should not be shunned and frowned upon. Instead, it is vital to learn from them and strive to become better person.
Besides being a Good Samaritan, Mehjabeen is a stalwart figure in the mental health and psychologist, and psychotherapist domain of various parts of India.

Shishira wanted to bring a transformation in the society and among the people through her thought provoking and thought changing books. Covid impacted her and pushed her to write a book, while others were grumbling about being forced to stay at home and not able to go out and breathe fresh air, here she was sitting and looking at various perspectives of people and how they were affected by this situation, either financially, mentally, and tried to analyse what was the reason behind such stress and what can be done to bring people out of the Stress cage.
Every day was gripping enough in writing the book on Stress, because she found herself interacting with varied folks and interrogate their experience about stress, learnt different experiences and few were interesting and few were disheartening too, which motivated her to write in depth about this stress concept and to help people come out of it! That’s when she took up more Stress related courses online and got certified as Stress and Anxiety Management coach.
