The Unprofessional

Highly inspired by Subroto Bagchi’s The Professional, I was riding on a wave of optimism of the highest order.  Hope you had noticed the ‘was’.   Suddenly, my perspective went to dumps after some turn of events – which when I investigated for the cause and effect, highlighted an area for serious discussion. Professionalism is

Underplayed Role of Son

I have always been carrying a regret of having underplayed the Role of a Son. A father could not have been more caring, loving, doting, self-sacrificing, yet very unsung about it – my Father was so.  My grandmother was so very close to me, she was more mother than the symptomatic grand-mother. I had the great fortune

The Maggi Moments

Nestle should be paying me a honorarium for this title, for helping their brand recall after the litigation about its palatability. Don’t rush into judgements about the content of this article yet.  Maggi and two-minutes have become so synonymous to each other and I chose to use Maggi because it appeals to more people in

Conformity-Non Conformity Basis

Storyteller

Love me, hate me, but never ignore me.  I’m just intolerant to ‘Ignorance’. From the time I’ve seen ‘Tamasha’, I have gained more confidence and that I too am good at Storytelling.  Unfortunately enough, I didn’t do this to my bosses, about my performance or contribution.  Neither to my wife, even when I came home

What’s up Whatsapp

Cultural change is a continuum. What Whatsapp did to all of us – just take a view through my eyes. Social communication cant get any better than this. Whatsapp has been the medium to make up for differences amongst friends, families, near and dear ones – bridging the differences like what telephones did to us
