Since my childhood I have always been attracted towards nature, towards people needing help and care, as it was something I picked up from my mother, who had huge affinity for such things and used to tell me about how we the privileged few, have a role to play in society. She used to say it is like a chain.

An imposing building welcomed us and we strolled down into the reception. As is my habit for many years, I keep telling... View Article

A very funny thing happened to me today, when I sat down to write my contemporary blog of the day. I finished the key communication with a lot of intensity and energy, then, all of a sudden, BOOOOOM!!!! The content vanished and I could not retrieve it till now, then finally I decided to reconstruct it, all over again, as I believe the thought of this blog can create a long- term impact on me and on my readers, as we look ahead. Friends, in the eyes of many, I have been a relatively successful person. Success defined as name,... View Article

If I did anything in a planned manner and with a motive in business, it was to set up broadly 2 lines of Business, which had its own tributaries and endless growth opportunities after me. But I was also clear when I must leave the place, and leave with a very strong foundation for growth, proper infrastructure, adequate operating money, thereby profits and a strong edifice and motivation to build. I was doing all this, because subconsciously somewhere, I was building these two businesses, for my twin sons Rahul and Romit, not knowing what directions they will follow in their... View Article

Analysing one own self is an intriguing exercise. It never ceases to fascinate. You keep saying “if only…” Also, when you try to do a 360-degree evaluation of your own self, you keep discovering yourself. All this while, external desires, likings, enjoyment took centre stage for life to govern us. However, for a good number of years now, atleast for me, it is the journey within and path of self-discovery, which I have found fascinating. The next phase has been bringing the internal and external exercises findings, closer to one another and try to draw a linkage between the two.... View Article
