To the Land of my Forefathers on a World Bank project On November 22nd 2013, I boarded a flight to Dhaka to sign up for an assignment, that would take me to a new destination and a new role. This was yet another voyage into the unknown, unchartered territory, at this stage of my life, and I was not fully sure, what was pulling me into it. I had not applied for it. My Office did. Things followed and my exit as President-TiE, Kolkata, after completing a successful Kolkata TiECon2014, was perhaps lingering somewhere, as I had taken the decision... View Article

Taking myself and the people around me to the next level Today, I have reached a stage in my life, wherein it is time to take stock of my past. It is time to look around me, look within me, and look by me, to see, where, what, how I can really enjoy my life from here on. Many a time in the past, I have tried telling myself, that I needed to do that but never got around to do that. When I went to the family farm house in San Francisco this time, among the rich and famous,... View Article

For such a long time, in my life, travel has become an integral part of me. I remember those days, in 1980s, when I used to take the first flight out, and the last flight in. There hasn’t so far been any time, when I have gone back home, from airport. Its always been office. In the HCL days, I remember, we had huge travel. When we started PCL, in 1987,I was sent to set up the Mumbai office. My kids were very small, those days. We used to live in CR Park, in Delhi. I used to leave for... View Article

These days, I at times, during my morning walks, try to recall my school days. Try and recall, my friends those days. Try and remember them. But at times, it comes to me very vague. There has been so much of data on top, that it requires a little bit of cleaning to do. I do remember a few things though. I remember how, a shy person like me, (yes, I was a pretty shy person, in those days), got into limelight in school in Class 9, with one specific incident which happened. During the Annual day celebrations in school,... View Article

Does this normally happen? I really do not know. May 20th. I wrote my last blog. Something in me urged me to start opening up in a different way. But again, I stopped. But suddenly, again ……. Here I am. So, I want to make this, as a prelude to my present innings, that of writing blogs. I was in Guwahati, gone on a semi-official visit on Saturday September 27th and was sitting in the circuit house, just on the bank of river Brahmaputra, with a soft drizzle engulfing me, and also a cool breeze. Then suddenly……………. My inspiration to... View Article

I remember very clearly, I was then in Class IX in Andrews School, a co-ed school in South Kolkata, where our Bengali teacher Mr. Kar, decided to direct a Bengali play called ANKUR, for our School Annual Day. I was selected to play the lead role, that of a boy who is a spoiled guy, bad in studies, and how he transforms himself, with the guidance of a good teacher, into a better person and student. There were some 6 scenes in the play. There was a scene, where I stole a pen from a fellow student’s desk. As I... View Article
