Be fungible and amenable — not just in tech, but in thought. There was a time when certain Indian states strongly resisted Hindi, even though it was the official language. The pluralism was so intense that the common ground became English — ironically, a foreign language. The twist? Even those who rejected Hindi often struggled with English too. But they adapted — because survival in a diverse system demands flexibility. Same applies to your skills. Languages (spoken or coded) are just tools. Don’t get emotionally attached to one. The real skill is your willingness to shift gears. “Blow your own trumpet” — it's not vanity, it's visibility. In most corporate cultures, if you don’t speak up about your work (and your team’s achievements), no one else will. I’ve said it before: if you can’t communicate and showcase the value you bring, your silence becomes your invisibility. It’s not enough to just do the work — you must demonstrate it. Through words, action, and presence. Let the ...

From Boardrooms to Paddy Fields: A Journey of Purpose My life — both personal and professional — has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. When you face the harsh realities of life at a young age, you either break or rebel. I chose the latter. With no guide, mentor, or compass, I stumbled into the world of sales — not by choice, but by necessity. And yet, what began as a compulsion became my calling. I climbed the ladder steadily, with grit and sweat, reaching the position of Vice President. I lived the so-called "dream life" — flying across four regions of India every month for over two decades, staying in every luxury hotel you can name — Taj, Oberoi, Hyatt… the works. But life, in its own unpredictable way, gave me a jolt that no luxury could soften. I lost my son in a tragic accident. That single moment redefined everything I believed in. It stripped me down to the core. But even in that deep pain, I chose to hold on to my humility, my dignity, and the belief that ...

കഴിവ് മാത്രം പോരാ, അത് പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കാനും അത് ജനങ്ങളിലേക്കു എത്തിക്കാനും പ്രാപ്തിയുള്ള ആളുകളാണ് സിനിമാക്കാർ. അടുത്തിടെ ലാൽ (സിദ്ദിഖ്  ലാൽ) പറയുന്നത് കേട്ട്, ജഗതി ശ്രീകുമാർi impromptu അല്ലെങ്കിൽ മുൻകൂട്ടി ആസൂത്രണം ചെയ്യാതെ ഡയലോഗ് മാറ്റുന്നതും അഭിനയിക്കുന്നതും ശരിയല്ല എന്നും. ലാലിന് എന്ത് അറിയാം. ജഗതിയെ പോലെ ഒരു അതുല്യ പ്രതിഭയ്ക്കു എവിടെ മീറ്റർ കൂടാനും എന്നും എവിടെ കുറിക്കാനും എന്നും ലാൽ സിനിമയിൽ വരുന്നതിനു മുൻപേ, പൂരപ്പറമ്പിൽ മിമിക്രി കളിച്ചു നടന്ന കാലങ്ങൾക്കു മുൻപേ ചെയ്ത ആളാണ്. ക്ലാസിക് എടുത്ത സത്യചൈത റേ,രവിധിക് ഘടക, അരവിന്ദൻ, അടൂർ ഗോപാലകൃഷ്ണൻ എന്നിവർ സിനിമ ചെയുമ്പോൾ സ്ക്രിപ്റ്റ് പറഞ്ഞു കൊടുക്കയും ഡയലോഗ്സ് ഏകദേശം ഇങ്ങേനെവരാനും പറയും. ബാക്കി ആക്ടർടെ മനോധര്മമാണ് . സിനിമ ഒരു കൂട്ടായ്മയാണ്, അതിൽ പ്രൊഡ്യൂസർ മുതൽ, ലൈറ്റ് ബോയ് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ചായ കൊടുക്കുന്ന പയ്യൻ അടക്കം ഒരു റോളുണ്ട്.  മലയാള സിനിമ ഇന്ന് ഒരു പ്രതിസന്ധിയിലാണ്. സിനിമയുടെ ഗുണനിലവാരം കൊണ്ടല്ല, സംഘടകളുടെ ഉൾകുത്തിലും ചില ആളുകളുടെ അഹംഭാവത്തിലുമാണ് കാരണം. ഇതിൽ ബലിയാടാവുന്നതു നല്ല സിനിമയും പ്രൊഡക്ഷൻ കുറവുള്ള സിനിമകളും. സൂപ്പർസ്റ്റാർ...

 Stop the Scam: India Must Act Against AI-Generated Fraud and Easy-Money Traps In the past few months, my social media feeds have been flooded with seem ingly credible videos — featuring the likes of Elon Musk, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Infosys founder Narayana Murthy, and Reliance’s Mukesh Ambani — all claiming one bizarre thing: Deposit ₹21,000 into a “special” link, and earn ₹21 lakh per month. "AI QUANTUM" is the name given.  As a responsible citizen, I want to make this loud and clear — this is a scam. A deepfake, AI-generated hoax. And it’s not just an annoyance. It’s a digital epidemic that’s threatening the very fabric of our working-class economy and confusing the already struggling Indian youth.  When AI Meets Greed: The Rise of Deepfake Frauds Using AI tools and deepfake technology, scammers have started impersonating trusted public figures — from global tech giants to Indian policymakers — to promote fake investment schemes. With hyper-realistic voi...

  Why I Am a Hindu — And Why That Matters Today By: Inspired by Shashi Tharoor’s views In an age when shouting matches are mistaken for spiritual debates and hashtags pass off as modern scriptures, it’s become urgent—almost sacred—to pause and ask: What does it really mean to be a Hindu? Shashi Tharoor did just that. Not with the aggression of a televangelist or the smugness of a YouTube guru, but with the introspection of someone who grew up with the faith, absorbed it, and now wants to rescue it—from its own self-proclaimed saviors. 🌼 The Hinduism of Home and Heart Tharoor’s Hinduism wasn’t something he picked up from a WhatsApp forward. It was the murmur of mantras at home, the stories of gods who were flawed yet divine, the quiet reverence at a temple without knowing all the rituals. His was the Hinduism of experience, not enforcement. In his widely acclaimed book “Why I Am a Hindu”, Tharoor walks readers through the texture of his faith: richly layered, intellectually vibrant...
