Adieu Artek Apartments

  50 years is more than half life and if this happen to be one’s formative years - they become significant part of our life . Lest Alzaimer sets in and take away some of my neurons - let me pen some the memories associated with people & events in Artek that has shaped me . Amol , Chetan , Pramod were my batch mates while Milind Vagal , Shekhar Shirodkar, Pradyut Borkar, Kuber+Hira+Manik +Charu Rane were few years either side but my growing years were more influenced watching & observing some of the stalwarts who made Artek Apartments an identity of cultural & learned persons  Not many people would now believe that Artek was the first building in Bandra East to have an elevator .  Coconut trees that have grown tall and big - some of the original members undertook a day trip on Sunday to Vasai to bring coconuts to plant them . Each coconut tree has a story to narrate of Artek’s founder members  Open space between two buildings would house Cricket ๐Ÿ ...

When you are ….

  When you are Alone, Mind your Thoughts. When you are with Friends, Mind your Tongue. When you are Angry, Mind your Temper. When you are with a Group, Mind your Behavior. When you are in Trouble, Mind your Emotions. When God starts Blessing you, Mind your Ego. Hitori de iru toki wa, jibun no kangae ni ki o tsukemashou.  Tomodachi to iru toki wa, jibun no kotoba ni ki o tsukemashou.  Okotte iru toki wa, jibun no kanjล ni ki o tsukemashou.  Gurลซpu de iru toki wa, jibun no kลdล ni ki o tsukemashou.  Komatte iru toki wa, jibun no kanjล ni ki o tsukemashou.  Kami ga anata o shukufuku shi hajimetara, jibun no ego ni ki o tsukemashou.

My perspective at the age of 65 plus

  my perspective of aging at 65 plus  Thanks to technology ,  my eyes and ears shall not stop seeing and listening people up close, but my intellect & wise counsel  be good enough to feel the pulse of the people and their intent without technology  I may sleep fewer hours, and i  may not jog but life shall turn page to another beautiful chapter . I have started  loving myself and  nature more.. I have started  deciphering between real life &  instagram life . And i have begun  to savor peace , tranquility  and bestow happiness to others  I have become selective with people who accepted me as i am  with my  looks , behavior and my idiosyncrasies .. I have stopped  searching for validation yet maintained  curiosity to seek answers from young ones   I now  have patience to listen yet am impatient to put my  foot down when i see injustice , exploitation and insincerity .  I...

Dynamic activities of Brain, Sleep and Dreams come out super concoction

M AA has entered Indo Chinese restaurant looking for table. Restaurant was quite spacious. We were on second floor, While Manager asks us to wait for table to be ready, i look around and see the man sitting on sofa. His oily curly hair stuck neatly behind on his wiry body wearing black shirt & trouser arouse my attention. I stride towards him to strike conversation but get interrupted by manager who says now table is ready. As we pass this man, i saw a big corp group has come and occupied round table, their boss round chubby faced blad man picks up his place while his assistant start directing everyone in group assigning their place. I could not resist thinking the behavioural approach of this man and management culture of this company. After dinner, i decide to split- they go for shopping while i roam around the place and we decide to meet at 830pm over dinner. I get into public bus and take a window seat, public bus is noisy and filled up workers, families from villages. I do...

My response to the article by Mr Noah Smith

๐Ÿ‘† article is optimistic and bullish about india but  I can vouch for part of his claims - having regular opportunity to travel to the interiors of India , interacting with people , witnessing infrastructure upheaval & observing the mindset shift among youngsters . Delhi Haridwar 6 lane highway , Delhi Mumbai Transport Corridor , Vande Bharat trains and small town airports are visible signs of massive strides india is making . Delhi Metro is most widespread than of any cities . Airports are the finest in the world .  Local Indian restaurants have the same flair and innovativeness as Starbucks , Mac . Cleanliness and being in queue is now accepted and emerging culture.  Digital penetration is deep right upto illiterate & unauthorised fruit seller and veg vendor on street . EV vehicle , scooters , Uber / Ola / Zomato / Swiggy with IPL , ISL reflect radical consumer preferences .  Roads , Apartments , Airports  are going boom boom with opportunity to travel...

Here...comes...INDIA!!! The world has a new largest country, and it's on the move.
