Messenger of yesteryear must not die

By RK Rishikesh Sinha Come July 14, the telegram service rendered by the government would become a technology of the past. We all, definitely have some faint memories. Though I have never used the telegram extensively, but of course I had used the telegram service twice. And both the times I sent telegrams to my father asking for money. It seems humorous in the present real-time communication world and nostalgic too. But that was a period and time. It stills hard to imagine it was 1996-1997. The telegram service was used by people. However, the government decision to stop the use of telegram with the advent of sms and smartphone (and the reason that has been cited) somewhere looks filmsy and doubtful.

The business must sustain. Profit and wealth has not been my priority when I started. I think I have cleared my first orbit. The second orbit that is of scaling up the business is a challenge, a big challenge. And it is more challenging than the one when I set off for the first orbit. Especially in the e-...
