Ratan has finally inherited JRD's title. He is clearly the most respected and admired businessman in India today. Think back to that phase, 10 years ago, when the Tatas struggled to reinvent themselves in the post-JRD era.

Last one month has been nothing less than a roller coaster ride for me. I met a lot of people and visited amazing places. On one such occasion i had a rare chance of meeting a highly intellectual person with whom i was engaged in a discussion on which was better- objectivism or collectivism. I obviously supported collectivism without which our whole system stands to fall. Whatever had been our differences the only thing we agreed upon was that for the society and for the country to progress as a whole both the aspects are required at some point or the other.

Isn't it strange how Rs. 20/= seems like such a large amount when you donate it to temple, but such a small amount when you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at place of worship, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible/ Quran / Gita, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?

I could not resist but comment on the effectiveness of what the government is planning to do. Please note that my opinion about this issue has taken shape after getting a comprehensive understanding of why India farmers are committing suicides as explained by P Sainath in one of his Parliamentary Lectures. Even though I am immature and too far away from village matters and therefore, not exactly the right person to be able to give a very good analysis, the my views expressed here are an understanding of an urban Indian about the vows of his brethren there on the fields.
