When is the best age to retire? My learning continues. I was thinking the other day, why the retirement age was fixed at 58 years, and later to 60 years? Because, I felt, you can still be agile and active to work at that age. Then I started looking at our families. Particularly, the housewives.

It is definitely greater/equal to the husband’s professional work environment. But, as their children grow, their engagement... View Article

Caution and Intelligence is the keyword Over the last 10 years or so, three companies in the global tech world have dominated the IT Industry. They are Microsoft, Google and Facebook. These companies have influenced the lives and minds of a complete generation like never before. As long as they did well, from their direct business issues and manifested their growth to direct business terms, it was OK. I don’t think, I would have bothered much. But they have done a lot more. Today’s youth has almost forgotten the concept, of ‘real life experiences’ or historical learning through books or... View Article
