Memorable money day

By RK Rishikesh Sinha What would you do? You swipe your ATM card, and you find unexpected sum of money in your account. All hell breaks loose. Isn’t ? It happened with me on 5 th July yesterday. I didn’t believe my eyes, I was continuously swiping my ATM Card and it was pouring out hare hare Rs 500 aur Rs 100 ke note. Things unfurled like this on 5 th July. In the morning, I deposited a cheque of amount Rs 2632 to my nearby private sector bank (I am holding the name of the bank).  At the evening, when I checked at the ATM whether the amount has been credited to my account or not; and took the mini statement, and went through the balance. I was awed, was in surprise, and confused to find this sum of money. I cannot believe my eyes. Then what a mortal like me will do? Check and validate it. I started continuously swiping the ATM Card, punching my ATM PIN and withdrawing stream of money.  My small purse was failing to hold this sum of money. I was in h...

The importance of place

Delhi The importance of a place in one’s life is of utmost importance. Whether it is a place where a person has born or has been brought up, or it is a place where a person has come for livelihood. A person’s relationship with a place is unique and it is a mix of lot of feelings and emotions.  A place for a person comes as a fulfillment of his or her security, hope and aspirations, an identity. It is mix of myriad of wishes and desires.  However, sometimes a decision has to be made. To relocate and leave the city from where a person has been rooted for a long time. A city which has been source of all needs that a person require, suddenly fails to enchant him or her. No more glitzy surrounding of a city, the independence it throws, is successful to hold back a person. Take a friend of mine (A), he left for Assam, after a long stay in Delhi. He was running an internet café business. Another friend (B) will also leave Delhi by the end of this year; he has got lot ...

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. First, India is too big and diverse. The technological advancement in the field of communication that we witness in metros and in  towns might look ubiquitous but the same inference could not be drawn that it is true for the people living in every nook and corner of India. T...

A reality check on business

By RK Rishikesh Sinha Today I have sat to write, my mind is blank, but there is deep urge to write something. It is about BUSINESS. It’s been over 3 years that I left job and has plunged into business. Today, my understanding about business and knowing the man behind those businesses intrigues and excites me. I awe them and have great respect for them. Earlier it was too bookish and the knowledge and understanding that I had was limited to black and white. But it is not the case now. I believe nobody can understand business, unless and until one dirty his hand and burn himself and bear loss. Looking back something that fills my heart with proud is to the fact of SUSTAINENCE. 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-...
