Covid -19 Time

Hello folks.....I am writing this post after 3 years on the blogger. Last time when I wrote post, it was a different world. Three years seems small number if we notice how world has evolved. But in the fast changing current times three years is huge gap. Really it's all relative in this world. And relativity matters. Anyway I don't want to enter that territory now. Sometime later may be....😉

I am writing from India and in last three to four years, data revolution has happened in India. Before three years I and many of us were using  1GB data per month. Now we are using at-least 2GB data per day. In my case its  5 GB average data per day.  This has big impact on society. Many people have smart phones in their hand and with availability of practically unlimited data at your service, people are free to explore the world. They are listening, reading, viewing, sharing much more. It has created new industries, opportunities and of-course new challenges as well. As usual, any revolution brings new challenges to existing industries  which are struggling to survive. 

And now Covid-19 have accelerated this.  Currently we are passing through Covid-19 pandemic situation across the world. This is an unique and major event happened after World War 2 and first ever in modern world if I can say. Many wars, natural calamities, financial crises, frauds, crimes even epidemics happened in the past. But, none shook or at-least touched almost everyone in this world. Well, why see only negative events. Even none positive events happened that touched everyone in this world after world war 2. Strictly speaking even great war did not affected directly and also indirectly to so many people in this world. And that's why I am inclining to call it unique and major event. Hopefully, it will remain unique and won't happen again in future. Nonetheless it has changed our daily life and its every aspect which may not be same again.

 Hence forth I will try to keep posting with some regular frequency. Au revoir.  👍

Reality of Real Estate in India

Now days I do not happen to read news paper daily. Sometimes on weekends I get chance to read news papers. But, one thing I have noticed that first page or cover page, a page above front page which is full of property advertisement is reaching each home everyday. They have 1 BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK flats, row houses, farm houses, farm lands, and NA plots advertisement. Now days customers have hundreds of options. They have various budgets from so called cheap flats to luxurious flats with high budgets. They provide so many amenities. It’s a matter of research how many amenities are really needed and are used. They are present just as status symbols. People are paying so much money extra for these unused facilities.  I want to put my views here about whole real estate industry in India. Home is COSTLY (?) In India all businesses, industries, jobs are concentrated to few particular cities. I feel this is done deliberately to force people to stay, gather at one place. It is wel...

Holika Dhahan

There is March already, we have some festival coming in next few days. Today here at Maharastra we celebrate a festival "Holika". And tomorrow it is Festival of Holi (Festival of colors). Although Holi is becoming very popular festival internationally and many people visit India just to enjoy holi, this post is not about Holi but its about Holika. Note the difference in the name. I feel that all Indian festivals are designed so that people in society should gather and mix up with each other.  Good news is its holiday tomorrow and its a long weekend. After long time I will be celebrating Holika. It is very interesting festival. Like all other Hindu festivals, it is about victory of good over bad. This time it is about victory of good within over the evil within us. On internet there are many stories how Holika started and so I will not discuss it here. Indians believe that fire is pure. It burns evil and what remains is pure. Anything that survives fire is pure. W...

Here and There

There are many beggars in India. They are everywhere. In cities, villages, at Railway station, temples, bus stops, at signals. I heard in Mumbai there are beggars who are even millionaire. But, when they ask money to me, I am always confused, to give or to avoid. Sometimes I feel they are poor and I should give some money and sometime I feel by giving money I am encouraging this act. And I don't want to encourage it. So, its unending confusion to me. At the same time I always try to judge them if he/she is really in need. I try to see, can they earn money by working somewhere or they are just lazy and looking for easy begging money. But sometime I feel very sad to see small kids begging for money, or a lady standing in rain or in hot sun by holding a small pale kid. I feel so sad, frustrated and helpless on the condition of these people that many times I end up in tears. But, I still avoid paying money since I don't want to encour...
