Stress and suffering

Silent sufferers.

Happen to speak to someone I know after a long time.

There are a lot of people under a lot of mental stress. And they are quiet.

This is the time to be a support to each other. Do not just message. Dial and speak to at least one person a day. You may help or be helped.

One at a time once a day will make one hell of a difference.

I did that. Your help to keep it going will go a long way.

Please spread the word in your circle.

How reality loses to momentum?

Truth prevails is an old adage that seems to be losing its relevance in the current sentiments. Still I am confident that "Truth shall prevail". Hopefully, sooner than later. The case in point is the investor confidence in the stock market. Indian markets are aping the performance of the stock markets of developed world. In fact, the possible loss in indices is reasonably predictable in the last few weeks based on what happened on the previous day in Europe and US. Are the situations similar? Are Indian businesses facing the same situation as companies in western world? Are Indian corporate giants going bust like crackers in Diwali? Have companies of great repute and history in India have filed for bankruptcy? Has any company in India reported loss of sales (top line) in double digits and evaporation of profits? Slowdown yes. How bad is India? Is it comparable to West? It has baffled me as to how convenient has it been to be infected with "western sentiments" virus ...

Irresponsible youngsters?

One of the common references made by people of upper youth (40+, a la upper ground floor) for kids (25 years old) is that they are short of hard work and irresponsible. Is it perception or is it a reality? End of the day reality is nothing but a perception seen with coloured glasses. Today's youth is in fact far more responsible than ever before. The key difference, as I see it, is about the attitude to life and living a full life. Unlike earlier times, where opportunities, resources and exposure were low, the time was largely spent in office/college and at home. Look at options today and the affordability quotient. Today's youth want all that without compromising on the content of each of the part played in life. Work hard is turning to work smart. Party hard is turning to party and network smat and so on. Professionals would have had limited ambitions a couple of decades ago. Dream would be to be a GM or at best a VP before retirement. Todays young want to be there by mid thi...

Food court in a mall on Sunday

I had visitors from hills over the last few days and my better half has been coaxing me to take them out for a lunch and show the marvels of Gurgaon, The MALLS. I have been avoiding it like plague as going on a sight seeing trip to a mall is not my cup of (green) tea. She warned me, "tomorrow is the last day that guests are here and under no circumstances I am gonna cook sunday lunch. Enough is enough, move your heavy body and take them to the largest mall in India with 1 km of shopping on each floor". I am still not sure whether the objective was to avoid cooking, being a guide to guests at home or a clear signal to exercise to be in shape. Like a student preparing for the competitive exams, I had no choice but to listen to Ma'am. After the customary drive, wait at the security at The Mall for about 10 minutes, queue of 14 cars before me to the B2 parking, I landed at the prized mall grinning like a kid who has found a box of sweets. One went through explaining Lladro, N...
