Last Time, First Time

Couple of days back I visited a place that I had been planning to visit for a long time. Had heard so much about it, seen fascinating visuals on screen, read unbelievable accounts of its diversity and cosmopolitan culture. And yet when I visited, everything that I had heard, read and seen was not even close to what it was. The place and the experience was truly out of this world. The inhabitants were moving around nonchalantly, there was no particular order but also no chaos. Just perfect synchronization. The terrain wasn't smooth but everything felt perfect. There was pollution but not what you see and feel in all big cities of the world. The 'pollution' was more natural the dust/mud is only because of some naturally occurring events. The place was 5 kms of the coast of Goa. From being a tourist on the shores of Goa, I became a foreigner just a few kilometers of the mainland. The minute I dived into the sea, I witnessed the unbelievable world under water. I did my first sc...

What if God was one of us!! If God had a name what would it be? And would you call it to his face? If you were faced with Him in all His glory What would you ask if you had just one question? And yeah, yeah, God is great Yeah, yeah, God is good And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah What if God was one of us?

Not living up there somewhere, controlling our lives and keeping record of all our deeds to be judged on the day of judgement (well atleast that’s what we have been told or made to believe).  In this day and age, what ‘avataar’ would He had taken, what would He look like and mor...

Road Trip - Apna Time Aagaya

Road Trip – Apna Time Aagay “Tujhse na ho payega, Tujshe na ho payega...." If you have been thinking, talking and discussing about a road trip with friends ( Just Friends i.e. without family) for over 20 years and not able to do, you start believing that the above line was written for you. However, if you hold on to your dreams, then you will realise that the entire song was written for you and you can proudly say…Apna Time Aagya. 3S – Scepticism, Surprise and Shock!! It all started with my routine stopover at Rishi’s place and as usual after a couple of drinks we travelled the globe, little realising that only this time Rishi was serious. However, I did not shared his enthusiasm, not until he shared his flight tickets from Bangalore to Delhi. So the first step was taken and we started planning our itinerary to Kalpa Valley which is approx. 570 kms from Delhi.

Corona - New Business Paradigm

Corona - New Business Paradigm Corona or COVID -19 virus which has been declared a global pandemic is impacting economies across the world and will fundamentally alter the way we do business and in fact will realign new economic models both externally in dealing with nations and internally while dealing in domestic production. The extent of change and damage will depend on how long this virus will last even if it exist in one part of the world, its fear will cripple the entire world. We are living in a very inter-connected world, so for the global recovery to happen, this virus should disappear from the face of this earth, before full normalcy can set in. That seems a daunting task in the present scenario. The earliest estimate of a reliable vaccine or medication is by mid – 2021, which is a good one year from now. The delay in full recovery will have serious and far reaching implications on humans. Let’s look at some of the implications of this virus: Economic ...
