Cheer up..go for beer up....

Her butt is on fire. She can't take off. Her wings are clipped .She is  grounded .She is off  her strip. Her charms can no more woo the customers .This birdee is bidding time, hanging around the hangers. This is the plight of this Kingfisher ....The man who owns  her is a  taste bud for all the finest  thing in life. He is one of the famed 'bird watching' enthusiast of  par excellence. He knows she is the most colorful of  the Boeing...Boeing tribe...

At 27 inheriting an empire of corporate wealth from his father Vittal Mallya.....he remained on the fast track, that earned him not only a playboy reputation but also got him a tycoon tag. He owns 2 corporate jets,one personalized Boeing 727 ,a collection of Vintage cars, 2 Yachts, and scores of homes and mansions around the world. His personal fortune is around $1.5 billion. His flagship company UB...brews the finest Beer.....that keeps all of us chirpy and cheerful all through the summer weekends. He is a corporate czar . He is a great social  bartender.He has perfected the  art of selling a  right mix of lifestyle to everyone from Politicians to Bankers and from Bureaucrats to Technocrats . No doubt  his proximity to Politicians, Bankers and Bollywood always remain on  a 'touch screen' mode. ..

Today his Account with most of the leading Banks have become a non-performing asset. His debt woes are deeper than visible.His debtors all over are busy reviewing and discussing strategies  to salvage their debts before it turns bad.  However all this does't  lessen his spirit to sore high and touch the sky. For him living good life is living life king size and  he is in no mood to give this up.The authorities may be looking for him but that does't dampen his spirit and search... for his ..2013...calender girls

 This year's ID, DIWALI and  CHRISTMAS may remain dry and cheerless for  his workforce at Kingfisher Airlines,  but that does't leave him  spirit-less . He is right now in top gear cheering-up his "FORCE INDIA" at the F-1 tracks. However it does't make him a bad employer....he loves his workforce as much as he loves his beer.. That's Vijay Mallya for you.....saying sorry to his 4000 salary less employees...

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army. We all  grew up in cantonment environment, hopping almost every 2 years  from one Cantonment to the other  Like from Allahabad’s Draupadi Ghat we came to Calcutta’s Fort William and  then to  Bangalore Cantonment  Bangalore was the only city where we  remained stationed for almost 5 years before getting  shifted to Delhi Cantonment in 1961, 4th of July to be precis It was the year 1959-60 and I was about 10 years old  studying in the 6th form in the Army’s  Regimental school .

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
