Happiness is a consequence of doing the right thing, says Robin Singh, author of Happiness Happens: Happiness for Those Who Have Everything Else. He returned from a successful tech career in the US with a mission to not have a job dictate his hours and found purpose after a chance encounter at Auroville. This led him to set up Peepal Farm, an animal rescue centre at Dhanotu village, near Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh, in 2014.He chats about living a life of purpose, in a mud house surrounded by mulberry, guava, apricot and palm trees. For company, he has nearly 50 adopted animal friends that include a blind bull, orphaned cow, a puppy with neurological issues and others.
