One day it all came to a stand still

One day it all came to a stand still I do not have fairy tales to tell, Historical events or wars to speak of But when the next generation will ask,I will say it with a deep pause One day it all came to a stand still Their curiosity is bound to rise I will then need to surmise For the only time in history of mankind The entire world was under ‘Lockdown’ One day it all came to a stand still Everything stopped! But why? There was an invisible enemy No one could see but had to fight In this battle thousands had to die One day it all came to a stand still It will become confusing for them I will have to give it a simple turn It was a virus that was very deadly It took lives which it infected One day it all came to a stand still For...

Seven Leadership Lessons from Chandrayan2 Launch

Indian space research organization (ISRO) set it eyes to achieve what no one else had done before and its most ambitious project till date was launch of moon mission Chandrayan2.  This was a mission significantly different and unique in many ways like the choice of soft landing location (South Pole), the low cost of the project (940 Cr) , the indigenous nature of this program (Made in India technology) and the scientific objectives of Vikram Lander & Pragyan Rover . We traveled more than 3 lakh Km in this journey, successfully placed the moon orbiter and came as close as 2.1 kms to make a soft landing on the surface of the moon. The communication to the lander was lost just few seconds before the touchdown and it is...

Sales is the greatest profession in this world

There are thousand of jobs people can chose from, to make a living yet few stand apart by the basic nature of their profile. Till few years back i used to believe doctors, military personnel, administrators, artists and politicians are rare breed and they rightfully command the respect for their professions in the society, but not anymore.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns is a bollywood classic

Tanu Weds Manu Returns - Google Images I have watched #TanuWedsManuReturns twice and still feel as if there is a need to sit for another show. The words that can at best describe this movie are bombastic, fantabulous, special, extraordinary and once in a decade kind of an occurrence. I have not been able to reconcile #KanganaRanaut  (best depicted by Tanuja Trivedi) with Ms. Sangwan ,they are so different that makes you believe that they are just two different individuals from a different world altogether. The dexterity and the deftness with which kangna has essayed both the roles, one really wonders if she is the same person. I get a feel as if they are real life characters and I might one day bump into...

A happy kid makes a healthy home

It seems like the entire fulcrum of my happiness has shifted to my toddler who is going to be three soon. His ways are innocent, charming, fresh and full of love for the two people he has started relating as mom and dad.  Our world is small, yet so expansive with this beautiful gift of god and he is the binding force, source of energy, bundle of joy and the passion that keeps us going. The short description that I gave about my family would hold true for so many nuclear families and even extended homes. Consider for a moment that this precious little falls sick or stop his/her activities that have become inseparable part of our daily lives. God forbid this happens but the truth is such events inevitably do happen. Courtesy: Indiblogger Relating from...

The Summer Tale

Summer Holidays - Google Images I remember waiting for summers as a kid, End of school and holidays in bulk TV , Indoor games ,Comics to start with, Morning jog , cricket and movies Grand plans to visit far off cousins, Excitement doubled up now and then The days were scorching and hot , Yet we had loads of fun.
