Great Moments
We have seen people often making the statement, ‘That one moment made the difference in my life.’ There are moments in one’s life which have made a big positive impact on the individual and on the people associated with that person. There are other moments which add to the positive impact of earlier moments. There are moments which did not make any impact on the individual and just passed off unnoticed. Maybe we can call these as neutral moments. People also experience moments which created some negative impact. The great moment was the one when you took ‘that’ decision which turned out to be the best decision. It changed your life and made enormous changes for the people associate...
Conversations@Corporate
This is a collection of writings based on the conversations happening in corporate premises. In my profession as an Engineer, I had a long tenure in the public sector like Bharat Electronics Ltd, and then at a few multinational companies like Alstom, HCL Perot and Oracle. I was active in the PMI Bangalore chapter and even served in the managing committee as Director for one year, this gave me another view of the corporate culture. I had the opportunity of interacting with thousands of people of divergent culture and background, interacting with many other corporate was part of job at Oracle also and that provided many more opportunities to meet a variety of people. The conversations I had or heard while working with my peers, superiors and team members is the inspiration for these writings.
The Life and Works of Prof. R.L. Kashyap
An adage from the ageless store of Indian wisdom tells us that in life we finish our apprenticeship at 50 years and then become adults. We only take up our life's work and real mission when we attain 80. And we leave the earth finally with the rounded and satisfied fullness of 100 years, "reveling in the rapture,' as Sri Aurobindo would translate a Vedic phrase. Always early, adept, and never unpunctual, our dear RLK took up the real charge of his life's work decades before reaching his eightieth birthday. Thriving treasures now invite us to celebrate the rare richness he manifests upon earth.

Rethinking Multiculturalism
Bhikhu Parekh argues for a pluralist perspective on cultural diversity. Writing from both within the liberal tradition and outside of it as a critic, he challenges what he calls the "moral monism" of much of traditional moral philosophy, including contemporary liberalism--its tendency to assert that only one way of life or set of values is worthwhile and to dismiss the rest as misguided or false. He defends his pluralist perspective both at the level of theory and in subtle nuanced analyses of recent controversies. Thus, he offers careful and clear accounts of why cultural differences should be respected and publicly affirmed, why the separation of church and state cannot be used to justify ...
The End of India
‘I thought the nation was coming to an end’ When Khushwant Singh witnessed the violence of Partition nearly seventy years ago, he believed that he had seen the worst that India could do to herself. But after the carnage in Gujarat in 2002, he had reason to feel that the worst, perhaps, was still to come. Analysing the communal violence in Gujarat in 2002, the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, the burning of Graham Staines and his children, the targeted killings by terrorists in Punjab and Kashmir, Khushwant Singh forces us to confront the absolute corruption of religion that has made us among the most brutal people on earth. He also points out that fundamentalism has less to do with religion than with politics. And communal politics, he reminds us, is only the most visible of the demons we have nurtured and let loose upon ourselves. A brave and passionate book, The End of India is a wake-up call for every citizen concerned about his or her own future, if not the nation’s.
