About Me

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’! – Audrey Hepburn

Hey kins! I’m Arunachalam a.k.a Arun.

Wake Up Kins intent is to create awareness on new ideas/innovations and how we can do things differently!

What triggered this intent? Answer is Self-satisfaction

In the mid of 2019, we self-planned our Singapore trip. All minute details were noted and put into plan – as this trip involved elderly parents and an 1 year old kid.

On completion of the trip, the happiness in each face – just gave an immense boost to self-plan our future trips!

That self-satisfaction gave me a thought. Why don’t I extend and share my experience in other fields as well like nature conservation, technology, education – which can benefit all families!

Our ultimate objective is to:

  • Trigger the ‘interest’ in like-minded topics
  • Provide step-by-step ‘guide’ to implement them
  • Make you attain happiness and ‘self-satisfaction’ on completion
