The week after next will be the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the US, including the World Trade Center towers. Like everyone else, I can remember exactly where I was at the time – such a pivotal moment in global history and a very personal experience. In September 2001, I was heading Marketing [...]

The more I adjusted the red and green, brightness, sharpness, tint etc., the worse [...]

“Are you happy sir?” … I heard in what seemed to be a far off voice. I said, “What do you mean?”. I’m walking through the slums of Soweto with my tour guide Life and this seems like a random question. He says, “Are you happy with South Africa so far?”. In a nano-second with [...]

Thank you for all the birthday wishes from such great friends. It was a memorable birthday weekend for me and consider myself a lucky guy. One of the mails I got was from my former colleague David. Him and I had a great catch up on the last night of MWC in Barcelona where we [...]
