Paris Again








Well, I am writing after long time. Lot has happened in between. I was quite busy in work. I was busy in building and setting my team. I was busy in preparing my travel documents. I travelled to Paris again. Again for two months. So I hope to write posts on my trip here.

I was in Paris three months before. When I was in India, there were few attacks in Paris and France. So how is Paris after that? Have things changed in between? I am not sure. At first look everything appears same as before. But, now I see a Police van outside the famous news channel. A heavily equipped police guard is standing 24 / 7 outside news agencies door near my hotel. But, people of Paris appears same to me. Same smiling, cooperating people to each other. I hear same Bonjour, Merci, Pardon sound whenever I am travelling or at office, or shop, or hotel. Even though I feel little more concerned now while visiting places. May be its unnecessary fear, but its there.

Weather here is changing everyday. Sometime its cloudy and it becomes sunny one hour after. Its unpredictable. Now, day is getting longer. It is bright even at 7.30PM. Daytime will increase even more in coming two months. Though day is longer, still its cold. I came from Chennai. When I was in Chennai, temperature there was 35 deg C. It was very hot. So it is taking some time for me to adjust these huge change in temperature. Same thing is going to happen when I will return.

I hope to find some time to share my experience on this blog. :)

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...

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...

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...
