It happened on 14th June’20 when a promising, pleasing, extremely talented and intelligent actor with multiple facets, took the unfortunate decision to end his life, as per latest reports. There is no denying that this is truly a very shocking incident. I remember his acting from a soft family TV Serial where I though the was pretty impressive.

Virus that struck developed nations instead of poor countries first! One wonders, had the Covid-19 virus spread after originating from China into some poor or developing countries, would the massive community spread been the same as it happened in EU or USA?As per data, most of the earlier viruses came in through developing nations, poor countries and their occurrence was taken as a natural disaster, as epidemics and pandemics happen there regularly.

Innovate! I was reading the Sunday morning Economic Times and came across an article on the IT Industry. The very industry where I have spent over 30+ years, and I thought to myself, though the word ‘Lock Up’ is not such a nice expression to carry on ‘Lockdown’ during Pandemic, it is worse specially for the IT industry.

Make it happen! Say a big ‘Yes’ I remember in 1995,when in New York, in the presence of the then Hon’ble Chief Minister, late Jyoti Basu, I presented the concept of Infinity-the intelligent Building, to be made in Kolkata, someone from the hall got up and said…..’YES!!!!!!’ with his fist going up in joy.

Think! Answer! Has Lockdown taught you to self-assess? There are many of us who have worked, built families, are involved in various social/cultural activities for well over 30+ years.

What are they... View Article

India, USA and China on the wheels USA with over 325 million, China with 140 billion, India with over 130 billion population has had unique but quite disturbing data of late, with regard to COVID-19 virus and the world order.
