India is one country that has history and cultural spots which are as old as human memory!! With the length and breadth of such gigantic scale India has numerous tourist spots spread across its geography. To see India in 7 days would be a challenge that will definitely test anybody’s scheduling skills. Let me try and show you a glimpse of how I would plan a few major cities. If you were to start the trip in the south, Bangalore is a good bet to start off from. With one of the best climate and weather on offer, this high tech city occupies a high spot as one of the most  eminent places in the list of tourist spots in India. With numerous luxury hotels spread around the city, stay is never a problem and not to forget the delicious food on offer in the restaurants of Bangalore. Vidhan Soudha, Cubbon Park, Visvesvaraya Museum, Wonderla Entertainment Park,…etc are some of the most visited tourist spots in Bangalore. From Bangalore the next easy city to visit is Hyderabad.  Read more...

Well, if that’s the advice all moms can give their kids then there would be only happy kids all around :)

Vishal Gondal’s success formula has been games, games and only games. Addicted to games from the age of 13, Vishal floated his own company and became a CEO at the age of 16! Things weren’t rosy at initial stages for him and his company especially during the dotcom bust but sheer focus and foresight has enabled Vishal Gondal to reach where he stands today. A millionaire!  Read more...

Hearty congratulations to A R Rehman and all those connected to the much acclaimed Slumdog millionaire. As I was reading the news from the red carpet I chanced to read a small opinion article of that of Aadesh Srivastava (music director in Bollywood). He, like few other critics, appear to be furious at the movie and the fact that India through Mumbai has been shone in the bad light to the extent that foreigners have started calling Indians the slumdogs!

Chill Mr. Srivastava! You stay in Bombay. Ever heard of Dharavi? By playing ostrich you cannot ignore the ground realities. Let’s stop being hypocrites and give the movie its due credit.  Read more...

APTOPIX India Shooting

I am filled with mixed feelings of anger, sadness and frustration. Anger because of the current situation in Mumbai, sadness at the plight of the innocents lives suffering and frustration at our helplessness.

Can’t we all come together and do something about the growing terrorism? How many more events of terror do we go through before we wake up? When will we all feel each other’s pain and not live in fake environment of personal security? Its someone else today tomorrow it can be us.

Everyone needs to be clear on one thing; terrorism can occur anywhere to anyone, we Indians were just unfortunate.  Read more...

I had an interesting meeting with a representative from iDiscoveri, an enterprise founded by alumni from Harvard, XLRI and IIT. Having presence in Bangalore, Gurgaon and Mumbai, this company has a unique vision of reviving the education scenario in India. Though the objective of my meeting was corporate driven but I was quite impressed with innovative ideas that form the very basis of this enterprise. So thought of blogging about it.  Read more...
