The Indian budget every year has always been an eagerly awaited event. For many decades, the best minds in economics, finance, tax, business and industry throng the media house to analyze the provisions shared by the Financial Minister.
Sometimes major events completely disconnected may be data points for the plans of the different powers around the world. The challenge is to discern what purpose they serve? More critically, what are we moving towards?
When the US Ambassador threatened India's "Strategic Autonomy" policy over India's friendship with Russia - much more than meets the eye was at stake. Let us unpack how the Ukraine war has fundamentally changed the US and the world. And why are we here anyway?
The mark of a leader is how he handles himself in times of crisis. When things don’t go well or create uncomfortable scenarios, what does he do? Especially if things go wrong when you’re in the wilderness. You can’t just give up because you won’t make it home. This is why it’s vital for those who go into the wilderness to know what they’re doing and to have read expert guides like the one on campingfunzone.com. This is survival ideology why Bear Grylls is so popular because people enjoy watching someone succeed in the worst of situations.
That is where Bear Grylls’ description of how PM Narendra Modi handled things when he went with Bear on the “Man vs Wild” shooting.
We all know that Narendra Modi has spent so many years in the Himalayas in the wild as a young man so he had some comfort in those environs. That is something that came out so easily to Bear while shooting.
“PM Modi is a man who cares deeply about the environment. That is why he came on this journey with me. He has actually spent time in the jungle as a younger man and I was surprised how comfortable he was out there and how calm he was,” Bear Grylls said in an interview to news agency ANI.
He is seeing speaking about the calm that PM Modi carried around with him all the time.
We got hit by some really big stones and torrential rain whilst we were there. Our team was really on the edge, but the Prime Minister was just very calm and I saw that throughout our journey. Whatever we were doing, he was very calm. That was cool to see. You never really know what someone is like until there’s a crisis. It was good to be reminded that as a world leader, Prime Minister Modi is calm in a crisis
As per Bear’s team, this could end up being the most watched episode ever in his series.

This visit of India left me with many questions. Many observations and inputs from different people and sections. Food for thought that I have tried to contemplate on and make sense of. Sharing all that with you.
When you analyze the last 60 years of the economic miracles of Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia versus the continued impoverished Indian economy, you get very interesting lessons. Can Indians have the wherewithal in them to do in one generation so that the coming generations may rise?
