Day 2.....

Its about 10:45 AM and today is Sunday...probably i may not get a lot of time from tommorow when the week starts....right now am playing the song 'Dil Chahta Hai..." and somehow I am thinking of my most trusted freinds..both present and past...
There are few of my friends whom I can rely upon without thinking twice...they are those whom I never need to think before reacting..and I know I will find them always beside me when I need them.....I can be assured that happen what may...even if i dont talk to them for years, still they will never be angry of me...Aurko from school days, Nimish in college days and I believe now my relationship with Shubham (in 'MBA' days) is also transforming into such a friendship.....Adhish though a bit far away in the US now, is also a dear friend..

Aurko is the oldest of such freinds and I am fortunate to have him around even today....we complement each other too well and hence probably we will be together in future...lets see.. I have stopped expecting things...

Adhish is dear, we have a lot in common....even our academic and professional interests (software and IT)...but I have a feeling that he is US for good...little chance that he'll b back..but agian..expect the unexpected....

Nimish as always is hapy-go-lucky.. i am happy to see him in a good job with MBT....he is a gr8 company and very enthu....he is one person from whom I have learnt how to remain happy in life..and never crib

Shubham is also a happy-go-lucky chap, always smiling and enjoying life...but shubham has a clarity of thought,contrasting with Nimish..while Nimish would never think about metaphysics, shubham has views, thoughts and is quite interested in all this ...no doubt he is my 'MBA' pal...higher thing in life usually interest him as much as myself...

I cannot end this post without mentioning Abhishek, my younger brother...we are gr8 partners.. though our relationship is that of a typical elderBro-yourngerBro, but he is one whom I have relied always in my life...a gr8 asset in my life.. am anxious about his future..but am very much sure that he's gonna be damn succesfull in life ... amen

  2. friends... hmmmm... i believe- friendship is like wine, the older it gets, the sweeter it tastes... that's why we feel so happy to meet a friend after a long time..
    not necessary that 2 friends hav all their interests or opinions common.. it is the understanding and chemistry that makes a friendship tick.. it's something which u cannot express in words.. but all of us know that we hav felt it sometime or the other..
    i guess i am getting too philosophical for comfort.. :) wud love to know ur views on this..

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...

A Guide to Privacy on Social Media [apps]

The recent announcement by WhatsApp to update its privacy terms - and 'accept or leave the app' stance - led to an exodus of users from Whastapp to competing, privacy-conscious apps such as Telegram or Signal. A week after the exodus began, Whatsapp clarified its stance - and WhatsApp's CEO went about providing a long Twitter clarification . And then, many returned, many who considered moving stayed put on Whatsapp. This post is meant for those who are still sitting on the fence - it clarifies questions like: What is this all about? What do I do? Is Whatsapp safe? I've heard Telegram is Russian - so how is it safer than Whatsapp? I can't move because my business contacts are on Whastapp - how do I secure myself? PS: I've modeled this post based on several conversations I've had with friends and family on this subject, dealing with the chain of questions they ask, then objections they raise, then clarifications they seek - and finally the change resistance ...

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 ...
