Indian Joint family living in palatial houses is now a stuff of fiction. A few generations back, it was the norm. In fact, the big houses were built keeping in mind the growing family, which it was assumed would live together. One or two members may step out and settle faraway, but most people stuck […] The post Slow Return Of The Indian Joint Family appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more

Sati is one of the most uncomfortable topics for Indians. My school textbooks told me that this was an evil practice ended by benevolent British officers who ruled us. It gave me the impression that every woman burnt on her husband’s pyre. I looked at my widowed grandmother, the person I was closest to, and […] The post Sati – An Evaluation during Colonial Times by Dr Meenakshi Jain appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more

Sitting outside the ICU in a hospital had me talking to the young security guard on duty there. Her job primarily was to ensure that impatient attendants of the patients do not unnecessarily enter ICU, and when they do go, they wear the proper attire. Sharing her life story and challenges, she mentioned the discomfort […] The post Uniforms Designed for Identity And Comfort appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more

Navagraha Purana was on my reading list since I started learning astrology. Navagraha or the nine planets are the basis of all astrology, all over the world. So having a good understanding of them is the first step in understanding the very concepts of astrology. One of my favorite astrologers always says that planets behave […] The post Navagraha Purana by V S Rao appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more

The disproportionate influence of Bollywood

Ganesh utsav and Navratri brought in the festive season and, along with them, the DJ parties featuring popular Bollywood dance numbers. It set me thinking on the level of intrusion in our lives that we have allowed this one industry. Film and television is one of the most visible industries today. Only cricketers and politicians […] The post The disproportionate influence of Bollywood appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more

My mobile suddenly stopped working as I tried clicking a fountain on my evening walk at a lake. No tactics could bring it back to life. Till I reached home and reconnected using an alternative phone, a million thoughts, and a zillion fears crossed my mind. The situation was slightly better than the Mobile Phone […] The post Mobile Phone – A Parrot in my Pocket appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more

My water purifier, endorsed by no less than a Bharat Ratna, went kaput. None responded to our service request on the App, the only point of contact. When he did show up, the service guy was from another company and, hence, didn’t take any responsibility for the delay in service. Calls to the customer care […] The post Pre-Pay For All Your Troubles appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more

It is that time of the year when we solopreneurs ensure that the tax deducted at source matches the one in the 26 AS statement. My taxes are deducted throughout the year as I receive payments.

Social media is full of airline woes – unreasonable fares, no refunds, overpriced food, cancelled flights and an attempt to sell every possible seat and anything that can be commoditised. Buying a ticket does not guarantee a flight, seat, or class you booked. At the same time, airlines or aviation industry are not making great […] The post Overhaul That Aviation Industry Needs appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more

Moving from Goa to Bangalore meant interacting with various agencies to update my address. In my head, I just had to update my Aadhaar card, and the rest should be a cakewalk. Well, not really. Big Data is not that simple to update. It all began when I uploaded the electricity bill to update my […] The post Addressing The Mess Of Big Data appeared first on Anuradha Goyal ..read more
