| Money Wise, Mind Bullish |
| /10:04,Jan 24,2012 |
| For long, we have religiously shouldered a big load of misconceptions about money and its perceived management. Academic syllabus is also partly responsible for the widening gap due to its scholastic focus and lack of attention to real world money management. I firmly believe that financial literacy, if taught during formative student years, will become the foundation of a brighter and better financial future. IIFL runs an innovative course titled FIN-LITES in schools across the length and breadth of India, a humble step forward to embrace financial literacy. |

| Sachin, Shoaib & Sunny |
| /13:51,Oct 08,2011 |
| Shoaib and Sachin’s confrontations are a part of cricketing folklore especially Shoaib’s devastating spell at Eden Gardens when with two consecutive deliveries he clean bowled the wall Rahul Dravid and unarguably the best batsman of this generation Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin returned the compliment in the World Cup in South Africa. Who can forget the slice over third man which went for a six? I strongly feel that Sunny Gavaskar and not Sachin is the best batsmen that India has ever produced. |

| Why people cross railway tracks? |
| /13:54,Nov 24,2010 |
| A recent article about loss of young lives while attempting to cross railway tracks depressed me and so I decided to write this blog. I am surprised why people cross railway tracks even at stations like Parel. Here, the cost of a mistake is extremely fatal and still people take the risk. The economic value of the time you save by crossing the railway tracks can never, I repeat never be more than the economic value of your life. |

| It’s clear & evident that the huge economic potential of our nation brought the salesman racing ahead of the statesman in Obama. But let’s face it. What’s wrong if a government office embarks on a business development trip? Political will and governance have run hand-in-hand with commerce. Yes, Obama remained guarded on the contentious issue. But, rather than bicker over the issues that the US is uncomfortable about, we should celebrate the success stories and indirectly work towards a better deal. |
