After a usual delay of 2 hours I took off to Kolkata (City of Joy).  By now you would have realized how much I hate air travel. This time I am traveling Jet Air, which is one of the finest airlines. Thanks to web check in facility, I managed a first row seat in economy class (Advantage to spread your legs and relax a bit).

India has evolved and so does Indian. Hey, I am talking about Indian, the state owned domestic airlines. I was scheduled to fly today morning to Mumbai by 8:00AM flight. As expected the flight was delayed (Still waiting for the final departure time to be announced, As I am writing this at airport).
 
This has now become a standard and not the exception for all airlines to delay departures. But I was talking about something else.
 
I got an unexpected call at 5:45 in morning. This was from call center of the …

Reliance by virtue of its name generate confidence. And Ambani’s has done unthinkable to keep the flag flying high for these years. I may not understand the depth of share market but this is my take on reliance as an consumer.
People has shown immense faith in the Reliance Power IPO and oversubscribed it as expected. The issue bombed on the day of listing and thousands have burned thier fingures. And then came the unexpected announcement of Bonus shares. And now talks of buy back of shares.
Hatoff to Mr Anil Ambani . …

This day 10 years ago, I owned something which to many was of no use. I got myself an e-mail id. Though now I am maried to gmail but my first love is my hotmail id  “yaaden at hotmail dot com.

I am confussed on this. It belongs and yet not belong to any one nation. Seems it treats everyone as foe.
Just gone through an article, which covers a story of two kids lying next to each other in hospital. The cruel part is one of them was an israeli hurt in an palestinian and other a palestinian boy hurt in cross firing by israeli’s.
So who’s winning not atleast the suffering families of the boys. This should make us think on what war hold for the humanity.
