Alone in a crowd – Aalkutathil Thaniye
Alone in a crowd – in Malayalam it can be referred to as ‘ Aalkutathil Thaniye’. Have you ever felt this way? I am sure you have, on that odd occasion. You could be in a group and ask yourself, what are you doing here? Or, just feel alone. Unless you experience it, this feeling…
The Incredible Power behind Silence..

The silence of Bhishma , also known as Pitamaha, Gangaputra and Devavrata, someone who was present during the entire Mahabharat, even before…
This too shall pass..
I will be lying if I say that I am not a worried person today. However, I look at civilization and the actions of leaders and people, as a larger element that has to be viewed at a Macro Level or using the modern jargon, Holistically. Though, I admit, it is difficult to discuss Macro…

Sales…Growing up or toughening up? ..you decide ..Part 3 (1989 – 1991)
As I was sharing with you the growth / toughening up of the Sales scenario in Bangalore, a thought crossed my mind. I believe that competitiveness is inborn . You either have it or you don’t. I dislike ( I do not like using the word ‘Hate’ ) losing. Heck, I cannot lose to even…
Sales…Selling in a darker world…Part 2
From the early 1990’s the character of Bangalore began to change. It is difficult for most post 1995 residents of Bangalore to understand what the old Bangalore was. In 1986, when my wife and I moved in, the old Bangalore was still alive. However, setting aside the garden city feature of Bangalore, what changed faster…
