Let us not firm wire a business model The business world has really changed a lot in the last 25 years or so. Today, to run a niche, high on value, midsized company, where individuals are respected and rewarded for their deeds, but also needs to take a lot on themselves, is becoming pretty difficult to run or manage. When you run such a company, the very nature of governance of such an enterprise evolves, which is definitely not the case of a well-oiled structured outfit. So, when this niche company starts growing, experts tend to tell you, all the... View Article

For such a long time, in my life, travel has become an integral part of me. I remember those days, in 1980s, when I used to take the first flight out, and the last flight in. There hasn’t so far been any time, when I have gone back home, from airport. Its always been office. In the HCL days, I remember, we had huge travel. When we started PCL, in 1987,I was sent to set up the Mumbai office. My kids were very small, those days. We used to live in CR Park, in Delhi. I used to leave for... View Article

These days, I at times, during my morning walks, try to recall my school days. Try and recall, my friends those days. Try and remember them. But at times, it comes to me very vague. There has been so much of data on top, that it requires a little bit of cleaning to do. I do remember a few things though. I remember how, a shy person like me, (yes, I was a pretty shy person, in those days), got into limelight in school in Class 9, with one specific incident which happened. During the Annual day celebrations in school,... View Article

Does this normally happen? I really do not know. May 20th. I wrote my last blog. Something in me urged me to start opening up in a different way. But again, I stopped. But suddenly, again ……. Here I am. So, I want to make this, as a prelude to my present innings, that of writing blogs. I was in Guwahati, gone on a semi-official visit on Saturday September 27th and was sitting in the circuit house, just on the bank of river Brahmaputra, with a soft drizzle engulfing me, and also a cool breeze. Then suddenly……………. My inspiration to... View Article

I remember very clearly, I was then in Class IX in Andrews School, a co-ed school in South Kolkata, where our Bengali teacher Mr. Kar, decided to direct a Bengali play called ANKUR, for our School Annual Day. I was selected to play the lead role, that of a boy who is a spoiled guy, bad in studies, and how he transforms himself, with the guidance of a good teacher, into a better person and student. There were some 6 scenes in the play. There was a scene, where I stole a pen from a fellow student’s desk. As I... View Article

I have many fond memories of Tagore Park. I was between 9-13 years then. My Dad was in the peak of his career, a very hardworking, conscientious person and was very involved with his work. My mother was the most accomplished lady, I have met in my life, was immaculate, graceful and social. She had this charm in her, that all his brother’s friends, like khokon mama, Rathin mama, Nemai mama, used to come to our house after work to meet her and enjoy her company. She used to cook for all. She was the most popular ‘Didi.’ She was... View Article
