Airtel is a name that connects millions, not only across India
but across the globe. The company’s journey from a regional operator limited to
the city of Delhi to second largest mobile operator in the Asia Pacific region
is a truly inspiring story. Today, company offers various products such as 2G,
3G and 4G wireless services, High Speed Internet, Fixed line telephony and DTH services. In a span of less than two decades, the company went from
offering mobile telephony services in one city in India to expanding its
operations in over 20 countries. The brain child of Sunil Bharati
Mittal, Airtel has always had innovation in his heart.
My Mom
~* This post was declared a Winner in the Stress Free Mom Contest organised by Parachute & BlogAdda. *~
For almost 25 years now, my mom has been the only MD (OB/GYN) in a sleepy little town in Assam. The government hospital, she works in, is the only full equipped medical facility in the district; so more often than not people from neighboring towns and villages find themselves being referred here. Also, the fact that the nearest Nursing Home is a minimum 5 hours of travel away via treacherous mountainous roads prone to frequent landslides, this one government hospital is our lifeline to Healthcare.
The one and only expert in all things ME.
1995:
This was the year I turned nine and my parents threw me a
fairy tale themed birthday party. To say I wasn't pleased would be an
understatement. After all, fairy tales were for little girls and I was starting
high school the next week. So while Maa
supervised the kitchen staff and Baba
put up fairy lights around the garden, I decided to do what any infuriated nine
year old would do, I decided to run away!
But even before anyone had realized I had run away, I was on
my way home, with a scrapped knee and a muddy blue dress. Long story short, Subho, the neighbor’s son was playing a
solitary game of Robin Hood and I, an unwitting victim, tripped and fell into a
big old puddle while the heroic outlaw gave chase.
#EkNayiLeague with Kapil Dev
In India, cricket is not merely a sport, it is a religion. One that
unites millions of Indians better than any religion ever could. The young and
the old, the rich and the poor, people from every walks of life are captivated
by the charisma of cricket. Given the chance, majority of the Indians would
probably plan their lives around the schedule of the Indian Cricket team! Such
is our passion for the gentleman’s game.
A Happy Wife is a Happy Life.
When it was time for my wife, Priya, to resume work after
our son Vihaan was born, I decided to take advantage of my company’s policies
and work from home. Though Priya never voiced her doubts out aloud but I knew
she had taken my decision with a grain of salt. She was right to have doubts,
after all she knew I was the kind of person who on reaching home at 3 am after
a Business trip would still be on time for office the next day. Also, it was
not as if either of us had to stay home for Vihaan… we had the luxury of having a very accomplished nanny who was more than
capable of looking after the kid while we were at office.
Green is the new Black.
I dedicate this post to the Earth in honor of Earth Day.
I could probably fill pages with ideas that I have come across on how we can contribute to the green cause, small changes in our daily routine that could ease the burden on our groaning planet and help support a healthier Earth. But today I am taking my inspiration from the words of Robert Swan, who said, “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it”, and hence I would like to share a list of 5 things that we have done in our home to try and be better keepers and inhabitants of Earth.
