We come across many changes in our life. From bachelorhood to getting married, school to college, college to job etc. None of these changes can resonate at the frequency of the current change which I and Swati are going through. Change of having a baby ( Adya) in our home. She is just an infant and she made us realize that life is not always bed of roses. While making us realize this she smiles and grins. Anyways, we were blessed with Adya on 25th September 2009. She was pretty healthy and cute when I first saw her. That time I didnt realize about the kind of changes we will have to accept. Swati bore all the brunt of delivering her. That day I realized the power of woman. Anyways, after a week's time, we welcomed Adya to our home from hospital. Story starts now... Initial 2 months were passed like a whisker when she was a real infant. Not able to gaze at you, feel you etc etc. but after that entire schedule has to be re-designed for our survival . We should be done with the breakf...

We all have dreams. We strive hard for their fructification . It was like a dream come true for me and my wife when we were handed over keys of our new "Swift Vxi " on 23rd Feb 2009. I was thrilled by the joy and happiness that almighty bestowed me with power to own something worth many Lacs. There was a time (college days) when i used to shy away from my friends as i was never able to match with standards of friends-gizmos, branded outfits, bikes etc. Well, past is past and future is something which we create for ourselves. People always say we shouldnt be greedy and materialisitc.I have a counterpoint. We should be greedy ,that keeps us moving. We should never be complacent. We should have goals and clear cut milestones to achieve. If we plan and execute, we will always be happy. As they say- " Its not important what quality decision you take, what matters is with what quality you execute your decision". Today i am very happy and feeling good and have positive ...

Indians are lucky as they get to enjoy all types of weather and season. Everyseason brings with its a whiff of celebrations & fun. People go on shopping binge as everybody wants to get new stock for the new season. Many outlets manage to meet their target but few who fail to make a kill resort to normal practice of turning towards displaying boards of "End of Season Sale". Word "SALE" has a strategic importance in Indian families. It emanates a positive vibrations which can suck money from anybody's wallet. "Sale" is such a tool which allows all shopkeepers to sell all their remaining stuff at no profit and no loss deal. Although for many it seems as if all of a sudden these businessmen have turned into GOD. They are giving 80% discount as if they are fools. In reality, they are not fools but the people who are greedy are fool. How a person can give you 80% discount? Price has to go down if you go back the supply chain-- dealers, wholesalers, facto...

T oday we are living in such a time where anything & everything is possible. We saw a upsurge in the mood of Indians over high speed growth of Indian economy, we saw a great reversal of mood also when Indian economy too, got caught in the Global Economic Tsunami despite numerous confidence statements by Finance minister that Indian economy is, to the extent, decoupled from world economy. I think Finmin upped the ante by saying this, as results of Corporate India, Industrial growth, Inflation etc proved Minister false and his claims baseless. Spate of steps were taken by RBI to tackle Inflation, while doing so they sacrificed Growth. Rising prices forced people to squeeze their spending habits, everybody was feeling the heat and decided not to burn fingers in such a volatile atmosphere, as a result demand dried up from the market be it for cars, consumer durables or luxury items. Sub Prime crisis of US fueled crisis of Indian Financial Institutions. They became wary of lending. Trus...

Well thats true, if you have will to have something there is always some way to reach it. Something like that happened with me, not too great to cheer but atleast something to smile. Going for a new flick that too in the best cineplex in the town is always troublesome, long queues, romeos all around the ticket windows, girls who add to the crowd who have bunked college to watch movie with their beaus, elderly couples enjoying movie coz they are "Standard Life insurance" holders -they are living with "sar utha ke", few elderly people coming there with a will as " karo jyada ka irada' campaign of Max has moved them. Well this kinda scenario is quite common when you go for a new movie. Things are never gonna easy. Problem gets even worse if SRK is donning that movie. Bingo ! you guessed it right..."RAB NE...". At first instance I thought , this being a family movie, will not invite much rush and can easily get into it. But things were quite antitheti...
