How much business profitability can you imagine there can be in a business & money transaction? There are rules in various different businesses that determine it. But my father broke all the rules, though he had never been a very shrewd businessman. He used to deal in the rarest of the rare things. He was [...]

Definition of Culture: Action vesus Celebration
For me the definition of culture had always been diametrically opposite to what it was for my friends, teachers and parents. My family celebrated my birthday with all fun and frolic, but I never found myself ever much interested in it. For me everyday was equally important to me in which I always sought for [...]
Relationship Dating: Invisible Threads of Interaction
I spontaneously happened to fall into a relationship dating with a girl 7 years senior to me when I was 19 in the 3rd year of my engineering. It was not an ordinary kind of love dating owing to the sexual attraction between the two. It was rather a platonic interaction in which we both [...]
Dress for Success: Too Tight To Live Life Loose
My eldest brother always kept wearing his dress for success on, over his body. So much so that he never wore any other that would have rendered him easy! Life to him meant success and nothing else as such. I was a little child then, when he was planning his life in big ways. He [...]
Friends Forever
Friends forever are never there in anyone’s life. It’s only a romantic idea that people long for, otherwise life always moves ahead leaving the old friends behind and fabricating a whole new web of new interactions turning into relations for a limited period of time, and then again moving ahead with still newer interactions and [...]

Whatever I did with my career, I did out of a conscious choice assuming full responsibility for the same. I am only observing myself as a sensitive representative [...]
My First Encounter with Competition in Life
I was 10 years old then. I just didn’t know what the feeling of competition was like. I had a very fast friend in my class who almost always stood at the 3rd rank in the class in examinations. I almost always stood 1st. So I thought I was the most meritorious one, and the [...]
My Family Tree
My family tree could never be a matter of my pride. It’s not because I didn’t love my family, rather I loved my kinship a lot; but I could never find anything special in them that I would be proud of. I was born in a family that had been awfully disturbed just 4 years [...]
A Great Adventure: Breaking Boundaries
We can do much more in our life than we think we can. This is the great adventure, breaking boundaries. I very early in my life got a glimpse of it when I was only 10 years old. I had gone to my uncle’s place in Dehradun during my winter vacations that we had in [...]
