Love ...

I am not someone whom you could expect to write on the above topic. Firstly because I am usually miles away from romantic excursions and for those who know me well - I do not believe in concepts like 'Love at First Sight'.

But the credit of getting me thinking about this subject goes to two near and dear ones who in my eyes would classify as an ideal couple. In my opinion love is a feeling that one develops after spending a considerable amount of time; it is a point where you accept the individual with his/her faults and qualities - and while you may want to change the negatives - you would still love the person irrespective of whether the changes happen or not. In simple words, there is no expectation - just a selfless give away of affection and service.

I have been witness to more than one affairs, but few have looked (in my terms as described above) true and authentic Love. This one did qualify - and God knows I wanted it to reach its deserved conclusion from the bottom of my heart. Three days ago when I got a confirmation news from 'them' - I was overwhelmed (kept shivering for the next half hour in Joy) . A wide smile was spread out on my face for the whole day and even unknown people like Cab drivers could see the happiness on my face.

Three days hence, as I met them first after that 'event' - my smile was replaced with the calm of a great satisfaction which I drew from seeing them together.

Wish a congratulation to both of them !! They helped me reinstill confidence in my theory of love ;-)

Wishing them both a happy future together ....

How will travel industry transform post-Covid

Unlike philosophers, journalists and teenagers, the world of entrepreneurship does not permit the luxury of gazing into a crystal ball to predict the future. An entrepreneur’s world is instead made of MVPs (Minimum Viable Product), A/B Tests, launching products, features or services and gauging / measuring their reception in the market to arrive at verifiable truths which can drive the business forward. Which is why I have never written about my musings or hypothesis about travel industry – we usually either seek customer feedback or launch an MVPised version and gather market feedback. However, with Covid-19 travel bans across the globe, the industry is currently stuck – while a lot of industry reports and journalistic conjectures are out, there’s no definitive answer to the way forward. Besides there is no way to test your hypothesis since even the traveller does not know what they will do when skies open. So, I decided to don my blogger hat and take the luxury of crystal gazing...

Learning from 11 years in KPMG

It is only when we give up what we have is when we can embrace the new! I quit my job at KPMG one year ago - 22 January 2016 was my last day with the firm. As I reflect back on that day, it felt more like a graduation day! The eerie mix of nostalgia, excitement, anxiety and blues of missing your friends. KPMG was not just my first job but also a place where I learnt everything that I represent professionally. KPMG is one of the institutions I deeply respect and love – and relationships I have built here will stay with me for my lifetime. In my entrepreneurial career as well, I am often reminded more of all the great things I have learnt over my 11 years in KPMG. An year gone by, I realize these learnings have stayed with me and apply equally to the world outside KPMG. Almost all would apply to those working in role of (internal or external) consultants but several are generic and can be applied across professions. I have tried to change the text so that the learnings sound ...

Vikramaditya - Myth or Reality

  A statue of Vikramaditya at  Vikramaditya ka Tila / Vikramaditya's Singhasan Battisi On a recent visit to Ujjain, I found myself drawn to the city's extraordinary blend of history, mythology, and spirituality. As I stood before the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, I reflected on its significance as one of India’s most revered shrines. Yet, amidst these sacred surroundings, I encountered narratives of Vikramaditya - the legendary king of Ujjain, celebrated for his valor and wisdom, who's name resonates from the folklore of locals to every part of India. Every time we celebrate a festival in India, it is marked with a tithi i.e. date as per the Indian calendar - which is called the Vikram Samvat calendar, attributed to being founded by Vikramaditya of Ujjaini (the then name of Ujjain). What struck me, however, was the curious fact that despite Vikramaditya’s pivotal place in Indian cultural memory, his existence as a historical figure lacks definitive evidence. My exploration l...
