My maternal grandmother passed away recently. I informed my boss in the US about it. He promptly sent me condolences. I just happened to reply to him in live chat from my heart, without actually drafting my response. And I felt that it came from my long formed view. I said: "She lived till 92... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on International Women’s Day and Pentagram of My Life
Today (8th March) is International Women's Day. Like any other "day" this too has gained prominence and popularity in the last few years.

मकरसंक्रांतीची आठवण…
मकरसंक्रांती आणि गणेश उत्सव या दोन्ही सणांच्या माझ्या आठवणी, अनुभव विशेष चांगले नाहीत. आज माझे आजोबा गेले त्याला ३० वर्षे झाली. आज मी एक महत्वपूर्ण निर्णय घेतला. काही विशिष्ट अपेक्षा आणि मागण्या सोडून देण्याचा. आता लक्ष कमावण्यावर/मिळवण्यावर केंद्रीत करणार...! आजपासून २ वर्षांचा ध्यास/प्रवास सुरु...

Reciprocation And Birthday Gift
One of my favourite books is Robert Cialdini's "Influence". I had read the book few years ago on my Kindle (which I lost a couple of years ago 🥲). However, last week someone gifted me hard copy of the book as birthday present. I had just started re-reading the book and was on the second... Continue Reading →
