IF I WERE A CLOCK, I WOULD HAVE FROZEN THE TIME
IF I WERE A CLOCK, I WOULD HAVE FROZEN THE TIME When we look at the past, the old memories seem rewinding. There was a time when Doordarshan was the only channel and Chitrahaar the best program – that came every Wednesday and Friday at around 8.00 PM. I also remember that television was available […]
IF I HAD 2 BRAINS
IF I HAD 2 BRAINS One day I realised that I needed two brains, and I felt, I was very unfortunate not to have so. I was certain that, with two brains, I could have brought balance in my work and life, and could have multiplied my efforts and outcomes – a multi-tasking of another […]
I WORKED FOR MONEY BUT MONEY NEVER WORKED FOR ME
I WORKED FOR MONEY BUT MONEY NEVER WORKED FOR ME Most of us, who are in 50s, had probably started jobs with a salary of not more than Rs.2000 per month. This I am talking of late 1980s. If you sit back and analyse, how would you rate the life during those days – do […]
I WANTED TO BECOME A SPY
I WANTED TO BECOME A SPY Like many other professions, one day I found profession of a spy also equally exciting. A spy had so many gadgets, and this was even more tempting for me. It was always inspiring to watch movies of Sherlock Holmes. I had this feeling that what Sherlock Holmes could do, […]
I TALK TO MYSELF IN THE NIGHT
I TALK TO MYSELF IN THE NIGHT Whole night my mind is active and in a deep conversation mode – I am talking to myself in the night. The questions are mine and so are the answers. Neither the body gets rest, nor the mind. This is what I call it as passing through a […]

I AM THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE
I AM THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE How does this statement sound- “Are you the most important person in your life?” Some would say – Yes – some would say – No – and some would be politically correct – May Be. One day, I asked myself the same question. Then I realised, […]
DO NOT BARGE INTO MY SILENCE
DO NOT BARGE INTO MY SILENCE Often, when I am in my silent zone, I invite a lot a question – “is there something wrong? Are you alright? Or “Is there something bothering you?” “Can you leave me alone and not speak to me or engage with me for some time please. I want to […]
CONVERSATION WITH MY FIRST CHILD – MY DAUGHTER
CONVERSATION WITH MY FIRST CHILD – MY DAUGHTER My daughter is August born – a Leo and is my first child. I remember when the nurse came out with this little princess, she was quite awake with her eyes wide open, as if, telling all of us that she had good nine-month rest and that […]
CHASE YOUR DREAMS, BUT WITH A ROAD MAP.
CHASE YOUR DREAMS, BUT WITH A ROAD MAP. We all have heard this phrase – “Be what you want to be and to be what to want to be, believe in what you want to be”. New career options always excited me. Many a times you want to explore something new, and I was no […]
