Natal Agreement

I, Ms Vaidya, am entering into an agreement on this date (insert birthrate here) with my parents Mr and Mrs Vaidya (hereafter referred as the Parents).  I understand that this agreement cannot be nullified.


I agree to live a happy and healthy life. I will not hold the Parents responsible for the happiness in my life. I am entitled to get a lifetime loan of love and affection from them and I agree to repay in kind. I understand that the interest on this loan is accrued on a weekly basis and I will strive to pay the dues on time.


I am also entitled to receive guidance from the Parents on a frequent basis and I agree to make best use of the same. I also understand that I will receive occasional discipline from them. Any and all arguments and disputes will be resolved in Vaidya Family Court and the decision will be binding on both the parties, the Parents and me.


I will consult the Parents for their advice in presenting and selecting career options during my teenage and adult life and also life options during adult life. However the final decision will be mine and I expect the Parents to respect the same. I agree to work hard to achieve my dreams and will not hold the Parents responsible for any fulfilled dreams.


I understand that getting pampered is a privilege which can be temporarily suspended because of circumstances beyond the Parents' control or as a consequence of my actions. I will not hold the Parents responsible for providing or suspending the privilege.

How much is enough?

Last week, Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest person stepped down as CEO of Amazon, a company he had built grounds up and reaped the benefits for all these years. Was he intrigued by someone else, Elon Musk, now challenging him or eventually getting ahead at the top and hence he wants to focus his energy and passion in something equally jazzy or he is just too bored of being called the richest person? We will never know the answer! Unless you are Musk himself, who saw his net worth increase 7-fold last year or you have struck a multi-million dollar lottery, your net worth would have steadily increased over the past few years (if at all) and will grow gradually over time. Of course this is very relative; some people may call a few thousand dollars as gradual or other ultra rich will weigh it in millions? Regardless, as your net worth creeps up, you will find yourself in a different spot; your colleagues will change, your social structure will change. In order to keep up with these changes,...

Safe Foods

To Eat or Not to Eat    In the World with so many different attributes attached to the food; low fat, trans fat, refined, antioxidants, organic etc.; no wonder it causes a lot of confusion for any person as to what is safe to eat and what is not. Studies after studies show how previous studies are faulty! How long should we wait to have the perfect study which is not invalidated by a future study? How can we guarantee that all studies related to food are over and it’s safe to eat the food prescribed by that infallible study? Not only are the researchers clueless, but so are the doctors! One of my friends’ doctor suggested that he should consume more protein and start eating beef. My friend is a Hindu Brahmin and his ancestors have not eaten beef for centuries (or maybe ever)! Speaking of ancestors; whether you praise or curse your lineage, the fact is you have just inherited their genes. Your body is geared towards eating the same type of food your ancestors have been ...

Tenets of a Healthy Life

While taking a stroll through our neighborhood mall last week, we realized that one of the anchor stores, Sears, is closed down. Oh yeah! It’s one of the 1500 Sears stores closed since 2013! A retail giant, Amazon of the 20th century is on death bed. A company which at one point enjoyed a revenue equivalent to 1% of US GDP, which pioneered services like the mail-order catalog has lost its luster in the wake of the new online shopping spree! A stark reminder of the fact that businesses not only need strength and stamina but they equally need flexibility. Microsoft on the other hand was faltering in the early part of this decade, but under Satya Nadella’s leadership, they showed the flexibility to invest in the Cloud Business and are now seeing its fruition.  Startups on the other side are very flexible, but without core product strength and the stamina to showcase quarter over quarter growth, many of them don’t see the IPO light. The trio, strength, stamina and fle...
