A blog about life, Hindi music, films, humour, books, people, places, events, travel, and occasionally, marketing management or leadership. Mostly apolitical, because that is a personal matter that each of us should decide on, and because I don't want to lose readers!
A Reunion- the 40th
We finished our MBA in 1984. So our 40th year after was 2024. We pushed it to January 2025 for the celebration in Goa. We enjoyed meeting around 40-42 colleagues and spouses who added spice to the proceedings. One spouse, Anu Venkitaraman, took up the responsibilty of taking group pics of various groups during the event. Some representative pics-

Lessons of Life
These are triggered by a reunion of friends from approx. 40 years ago.
The lessons-
1. We age. Some like Whisky or wine, some like beer.
2. Some of us are driven, and some let go.
3. Talent lives on.
4. You can't argue and win any argument about intangibles.
5. Warmth is a human trait to be cherished. Coldplay, not so.
Also, Kids don't listen, whether you are in India or abroad.
