Some decisions are life changing. My joining RMG Connect/JWT was one such moment in my short life. A little background will help understand why I rate this as such an imporatnt life changing experience.............

Before joining RMG I was going through a phase in my life where I thought everything is perpetually in a fluid state and too fast to control so ...heck why bother. I was happy to go with the flow at times drifting as far and even further everything. I still remember there was a whole week in my life when I just stayed at home and did nothing....absolutely NOTHING!

I think I was getting tired of all that when RMG happened and this is where I realised...maybe you can't control a lot that happens in life but surely you can learn to control your reaction to what is thrown at you!

These are some memories of my farewell party at RMG with friends and colleagues, thank you all .......you helped re-fuel!

I don't know why I still subscribe to 4 daily newspapers everyday....when at best I can manage to read the front page of only one a day. I subscribe to Times Of India ( World's largest circulated english daily), Hindustan Times, Mint (a business newspaper launched by Hindustan Times in association with Wall Street Journal) and Anandabaazar Patrika (Bengali Regional Newspaper).



Every month when it comes to paying the news subscription bills is when it hits me, why the hell do I pay for reading news four times over! Its insane, considering I can read all the news for almost free of charge online! But I guess its kind of built into my system.
I read newspapers not for the news alone, its the sense of anticipation in expecting today's breaking news as you pick up your newspaper ( hardly any now a days ;-)) , and then shift through the pages at a leisurely pace while you sip on your cuppa tea, or the smell of newsprint mixed with warmth of winter mornings is something I have grown up with and learnt to cherish. So now I have come to realise that my computer or laptop and online versions of newspapers in spite if the massive strides in social media is still a business tool and probably will never be able to take away my morning sunlight....I still will pick up the first newsprint and keep looking for interesting news in all my four newspapers.
