Demonetisation & Hero Worshipping

December 3, 2016

The recent demonetisation has been confusing…we have assumed that war against currency is war against black money. Money or cash constantly changes colour from black to white. It is ok as long as it is circulating within the economy, but money truly becomes black and harmful when non-tax paid cash is hoarded and not circulated…

Six years ago I entered the chaotic Chennai Central Station to board the Shatabdi Express to Mysuru. Up ahead at the entrance to my bogie I saw people bending down to touch someone’s feet and many standing with reverence reserved for Godmen or politicians.

The dilemma: Caring for ageing parents

May 14, 2016

Yesterday a news item in SOM caught my eye: “Day care centre for elder citizens inaugurated in city.” As I read the news, it felt like I was reading an advertisement for children’s summer camp.
