Merry Christmas from India – It’s a festival Dude!

I requested my children to make me a Christmas greeting (soft copy) that I could respond with, given the ever-burgeoning unread messages on my WhatsApp. I am so happy that I deleted the FB App before Covid entered our lives. Barring LinkedIn, I have no social media junk interfering in my life. BBC reported the … Continue reading

Generation Gap (an urban Indian’s perspective)

Should we simply ignore or merely acknowledge, or learn to bridge this Gen-Gap? Despite the disintegration of family as a multi-generational large unit under one roof, we cannot lead our lives without interacting, transacting, and even nurturing relationships across generation gaps. Not many make a choice to leave the older or the younger generation in … Continue reading

Civil India?

In 1947, a dudish leadership epitomised by Nehru gleefully took over the reigns of independent India. They wore their soft intellectual hearts on their sleeves, a hangover from the freedom struggle led by those like Gandhi who shed his sartorial tastes in empathy with the millions of peasants toiling every day for the landed feudal … Continue reading

Necessity is NOT the mother of invention!

Remarkable achievements, transformational change and leaving a powerful impact on others’ minds are topics that always engrossed me.

Like most, I also did things steered by habits of thinking and action … Continue reading
