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.

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?
This weekend we are on vacation. Will be driving back home when I usually send out the newsletter.
There was so much to write about. So much to discuss but couldn't. Will find time during the weekend to share my thoughts on why the current Indian elections is so very important. Why it is so very important to vote for everyone.
Above all, why India has only one choice as of now. And, that one choice that India has is really the only choice even the world has going forward in the right direction and break the stranglehold of a few.
Vote - The world may depend on your action
Please vote carefully like the world depends on your vote. Because it does!

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?
