I had to cover this event on September 24, which happens to be my Birthday. What more could I ask for on my birthday, but a presscon followed by lunch at The Trident—Malabar Room, Rooftop, overseeing the Arabian Sea.
Meeting this pretty lady, who is a grandmother ( doesn't look even a bit) was a privilege. I spoke to her over lunch, it was a delightful chat both on professional and personal grounds.
Yet another inspiring story of my life. It was the longest interview of my life—it lasted for two hours. Hinal Shah is a lady with a vision to create enterpreneurs, which will solve India's chronic problems. I completely support her cause and look forward to a self dependent and problem free society.
My first story with my namesake. It all happened by chance, we both had the similar needs and decided to make it a joint story. Little did we know it would go as a lead.
It was fun working with Nayak.

I really adore the Jaagore.com team. Not only for their initiative but also for the great people that they are.
It was like attending a Maharashtrain function. Everything was in pure "Shudh Marathi", which I was literally translating with all my little marathi acumen. Jai Maharashtra!
One of the best and the most memorable stories of my career. I the Wilson alumni majorly comprising of people in their 80s and 90s. Reminiscing about their college days with them was worth it for a Saturday evening.
Meeting Mr Heal was a wonderful experience. He was impressed with India and Indians—with their commitment and values. I hope I get to interview him again in my career.
For a self confessed music afficinado like me, exploring the power of its waves and rhythm to heal certain disabilites was a real eye opener. Thank you Boss (Uma) for assigning me this story.
