Accompanying Sis to School!

My grandson tagging along with her elder sister to preschool in their Singapore condo.

Dawn of a new generation. What lies ahead - the unknown future!



I asked my brother:
"What will I be?
Will I be pretty, 
will I be rich?"
Here's what he said to me:
"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Que Sera, Sera"
Thanks to Doris Day for immortalizing this song!
And songwriters: Jay Livingston, Ray Evans

Wow, what a beautiful milestone! Fifty years ago, a remarkable woman, now celebrating her 70th year, said "yes" to a journey of a lifetime with me. Today, I honor her grace, wisdom, and the enduring love that began five decades ago.

India's Essence: Discovered by an Outsider

I've yet to encounter a foreigner who has grasped India's legacy, culture, principles, character, and identity with such profound depth – truly, far more insightfully than many Indians who live here and are immersed in "Indianness" around the clock. Oprah Winfrey's Insightful Revelation Many people know Oprah Winfrey as an American talk show host, television producer, actress, author, and media proprietor, who is best known for 'The Oprah Winfrey Show'.  Image Credit: Internet Listen to her remarkably powerful speech titled:  Why is America openly supporting Pakistan against India?   What made it so striking was that she used the terms "America" and "Pakistan" just once to frame the subject; the rest of her talk was a deep focus on India, the nation, rather than its leadership. Oprah's understanding of India surpasses that offered by any contemporary Indian , even leaders like PM Modi - who crafted its vision, EAM Jaishankar - who e...

The Misleading Retail Price (MRP)!

We're all familiar with the MRP ( Maximum Retail Price ) printed on packaged goods in supermarkets and other stores.  MRP  ( Maximum Retail Price ) Well, I've often felt it should really stand for Misleading Retail Price ( MRP )! While shopping, it's a huge point of irritation for many of us, as this seemingly deliberate overpricing by manufacturers feels like nothing short of a " legal scam ", one that many suspect has the quiet approval of the Finance Ministry.  The lack of clear guidelines for setting MRP allows many manufacturers to intentionally inflate it. This practice enables retailers to offer discounts, typically ranging from 10-30% normally and a hefty 70-90% during "flash sales." Despite these seemingly large reductions from the MRP, I am sure that shopkeepers still manage to turn a profit.  E-Commerce MRP and Discount The level of discounting also varies by product category. For instance, electronics, fashion apparel, sanitary-plumbing-hardw...
