Never Give up! Recently the death of a well-known Bollywood hero had provoked strong reactions, comments, views, allegations all over. It happened on 14th June’20 when a promising, pleasing, extremely talented and intelligent actor with multiple facets, took the unfortunate decision to end his life, as per latest reports. There is no denying that this is truly a very shocking incident. I remember his acting from a soft family TV Serial where I though the was pretty impressive. But let us delve deep, deeper than the chronology of the sad incident. I have been a self-made entrepreneur, first generation, boot-strapped... View Article

Virus that struck developed nations instead of poor countries first! One wonders, had the Covid-19 virus spread after originating from China into some poor or developing countries, would the massive community spread been the same as it happened in EU or USA?As per data, most of the earlier viruses came in through developing nations, poor countries and their occurrence was taken as a natural disaster, as epidemics and pandemics happen there regularly.

Make it happen! Say a big ‘Yes’ I remember in 1995,when in New York, in the presence of the then Hon’ble Chief Minister, late Jyoti Basu, I presented the concept of Infinity-the intelligent Building, to be made in Kolkata, someone from the hall got up and said…..’YES!!!!!!’ with his fist going up in joy.

I keep talking to entrepreneurs and I find they are at a loss primarily at a loss,as both buyers and sellers are confused on their way ahead. A lot... View Article
