A fable about leadership, maternity leave, M&A fever and the cost of bad optics. Alyssa Williams arrived with fanfare. A charismatic hire from a respected outfit, she brought track record, poise — and a résumé that promised hunger and discipline. She also brought something else: life. During her four-year tenure as President & CEO of […]
How April Fool’s Day mocks the day of creation — and how the calendar conquered consciousness. Every year, on April 1st, the world laughs.Pranks are played, headlines turn into hoaxes, and entire tech blogs post deliberate fabrications in the name of humour.We call it April Fool’s Day.But few pause to ask — why this day? […]
When ideas become currency, thought itself becomes cheap. Let me begin bluntly.We’ve destroyed journalism. Not by censorship, not by politics — but by profit and pretense. Once upon a time, journalism and teaching were considered noble professions — the conscience of society and the torchbearers of wisdom.But somewhere between TRPs and hashtags, the noble became […]
From borrowed glamour to original thought — the internet’s true revolution has just begun. A friend reached out today, asking if I could write something to help creators — especially writers — enhance their visibility on the internet.It reminded me of a forum discussion where my earlier post — “20 Years Hence: The Internet Is […]
Building in India. For the world. I am not here to count India’s achievements — there are too many to count, and too few who still count them with pride.What I do want to talk about is why so many among us have forgotten to look at our own country with the respect it deserves. […]

Two decades of “Digital India” — and the Wi-Fi still drops during uploads. On the eve of Digital India Week, my internet stopped working. Poetic, isn’t it?Here we were, celebrating a nationwide vision of digital transformation — while my Wi-Fi blinked in protest, one red light at a time. And as I sat there, refreshing […]
When everyone is changing, who’s really progressing? It is in human nature to believe that change is good.That evolution equals progress.That breaking things faster somehow means we’re building something better. But in truth, much of what we call progress today is simply noise.We change not because we’ve found a higher truth — but because we […]
In the age of algorithms, individuality must become sacred again. Technology was supposed to bring us closer — not make us predictable.Yet somewhere between personalisation and profiling, we’ve started losing what makes us human: our privacy, our spontaneity, and our mystery. Today’s social media platforms are not just about connecting people; they are architected for […]
Technology has indeed made the world smaller — and yet, paradoxically, it has increased the distances between us. We travel farther, work longer, live faster.We connect with more people than ever before — and yet, sometimes, we feel less connected.Our families are smaller, our relationships more scattered, our conversations more efficient, but less emotional.
