When I first came to Mumbai from Hyderabad, I couldn’t get over a train ride past the Dharavi slums. It looked like one single roof. I wondered how people live there. How do they enter or exit? Two-year-old children were crawling just about three feet away from the railway tracks.

How true is it that you’re broke and have shifted from your office to a dilapidated building?
Not true. Actually I have shifted to under a tree and I now operate from a footpath.

It has always been a mystery to me why someone makes it in life and someone doesn’t. It is not as simple as possessing in-born talent or luck. I am certain that it has actually a lot to do with subconscious programming, not necessarily designed or intended.

t has been close to four, maybe five, years that I’ve been on the net. First it was blogging, now it is tweeting. The main reason why it had taken me a bit of time to get to the net was, firstly, that I am a complete net illiterate. And secondly I never cared to.

To understand the karma theory better, let us take the example of a child’s wrongful deed which he is punished for only 20 years later. By this time, the child will have forgotten what he had done such a long time ago. Also, the child will have no sense of right and wrong. Like the child, we don’t have a definite idea of what a sin is.
