Reclaiming Ownership of a Civilization - Part 2 .

  In Part 1 we saw a structure of evolution of Ownership and belonging being the connecting cord to reclaiming a Civilization.  Here in Part 2, we see an  example of how, Hindus could reclaim their ownership of their civilization and prove the exact location of the birth of Bhagawan Ram at Ayodhya. Background: ● A Stone Boards Pillar ● An Incomplete Map ● An Ancient Book and a Divine Intervention made it look as if Bhagawan Ram Himself was leading the course of events through chosen people. Chronology:  1902, Ayodhya A British officer named only as 'Edward' does a survey of all 148 Teertha Sthalams of Ayodhya based on the Skanda Puranam.  He notifies his survey by erecting Stone Boards (Pillar) with numbers in each of the Teertha Sthalams. “Penalty of Rs 3000 and 3 years of jail if anyone removes these pillars”. After 117 years these Pillars would play an important role in India's history. 2005, Lucknow Lawyer P.N.Mishra was going by car from Lucknow to Calcutta...

Reclaiming Ownership of A Civilization

 Jai Shree Ram and Pranam to All 🙏 As I see the compelling reverence and frenzy encapsulating the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishta at Ayodhya all over our  Bharat and the World itself, my mind is intensely enveloped with divine feelings in my faith over the last few days. Overpowering feelings and emotions  have renewed the deep roots of belonging to divine within me, as I write this post. By Lord Rama's Grace, I express my feelings.

Timelessness is A Uni-verse

Timelessness is A Uni-verse   (a humble tribute to our great country Bharata  as we complete 75 years of Independence)  Its 11.30pm, there are over 5000 balloons to be filled and decorations to be done for our Flag Hoisting Celebrations at 10 am ! As I see endless tricolor balloons being filled up for carnations by young boys earning their livelihood by enabling people   to celebrate #IndiaAt75, my mind races past  in a quest to understand how I have seen our beloved India endure these 75 years in spite of being the World's Oldest Civilization, one that practiced Democracy. I begin here by putting the possible reasons as my tribute to this great Nation. The fundamentals of our Country are itself ingrained in Sanatana ! which literally means Timelessness. So our way or path of life and living can be only experienced with time. As people born in  Timelessness we endure, get inculcated, absorbed and are  influenced by a path of application of ou...

Public Memory is Short

 Public Memory is Short  2006 Serial Terror Blasts in Mumbai . 11th July  2006 was Guru Poornima, like every year I was fasting. I had a client meeting at the Lower Patel Area in Mumbai. My colleague and I decided to travel by Train instead of driving.  We finished our meeting at about 5.30 pm and were wondering, whether we go to Lower Parel Station and take a Train or go to Dadar and take a fast train to Jogeshvari . We decided on the latter,  and took a cab to Dadar Station West. It was 5.40 pm. I was eagar to  break my fast and have a bite. Panshikars at Dadar Station is famous for upavas / fast related stuff, we had a bite. It was  5.55 pm. My colleague left and I got up to walk across to the Station, and I met a friend of mine Mr.Kamdar after 10 years who has a Raymond Showroom and we got talking, my mind was racing with getting back to office and constantly peering at my watch . It was 6.05 pm. I told Mr.Kamdar I got to rush but he insisted on me...

Public Policy & Marketing

                                      2 19th June 2022  Public Policy & Marketing I thought of sharing my perspective on this hot topic consistently  revisiting current affair experts, commentators, intellectuals, active participants on SM over the last 8 years. I will try and look at this in a bipartisan manner as much as possible, focussing on the subject. Basics: Marketing widely is accepted as identifying or  creating a need for a given target segment for a product or service. Consistency in delivering promised benefits better than competition over time makes this product or service a brand, a trusted brand. This process starts with understanding the user/ consumer of the product or service in toto. Market Research Tools like Focus Group Studies, sampling users,usage, uses help in honing on this objective. This world of products and markets has by and large used these me...
