My grandfather lived with us. He was a retired person. As long as he was physically fit, he would do some gardening, make swings for me to play, accompany me to buy Diwali crackers with his pension money and so on. As he aged, he would still try ways and means to be useful. No […]
It took me quite some time to soak in this philosophical statement. Replace ‘student’ with recipient/receiver and ‘teacher’ with giver/master/expert and you will get the feel. No matter how many well advisors out there in the wide world dole out pearls of wisdom for you, you will never accept it unless and until you are […]
As big or small as you choose…. Yes, you decide on what will be the choice of the cup. Like we do when ordering coffee….small, medium or large. Depending on the size of the cup, we will spend proportionate amount of time floundering in our joys or sorrows. The larger the cup of sorrow, we […]
My interpretation of the play “Waiting for Godot” is like this. Many keep waiting for the perfect time and environment that will facilitate them to take the next step forward. While all energy is directed towards waiting for Godot, we become too tired to take stock of our present and identify our strengths and opportunities. […]

This piece is meant for those who are in their early career stage. Observe your senior managers. Are they receiving the support they need or are colleagues quietly sabotaging efforts? If the entire team is showing lack of cooperation or not putting in efforts as compared to what the team had done for a previous […]
We have heard of the phrase “be your authentic self”. Yet when we see people behaving in an obnoxious manner and claiming “this is who I am”, we get pissed off. Are these two phrases contradictory? While we know that being genuine is desirable, we face situations where we cover up our genuine emotions and […]
A belief is something that you hold true even when there is no proof or evidence. As a child I believed that ghosts were lurking in the dark paths and if you kept muttering “God, God, Bhagawan, Bhagwan” you would safely reach home. God was bilingual for me. Prayers at home was in Assamese and […]
