Happy Holi 2013

Hi friends, it's been a very long time since I wrote a blog post here. There's been so much happening at Axess Legal Corp that I have not had time to sit down and write a good post. So, I thought to myself the least I can do is to update you on what's been happening at my end.

Here's what's been happening: 

1. My son Jyotiraditya turned 7 in March 2013. He had two Wenger cakes - one a Spidey face and the other with the number 7 on it. He had a great time celebrating it with friends.
2.  Axess Legal Corp had a great start right from 2013 and the going gets better. We hope to continue the good work that we are doing. Thank you all for the encouragement and support you've been sending out to ALC.
3. After a long time, I am taking a week off and going off to have some time off on my own to Bangalore. My nieces Aditi and Neha turn one this week and I don't want to miss the fun celebrating with the twins on their special D-day. Went shopping to buy them dresses - this was an interesting experience as I haven't had to shop for little girls before. But it was fun.  

Wishing everyone a very Happy Holi in advance! Enjoy with your loved ones!

Happy Holi 2010

The festival of colors is back again! There seems to be excitement in the air, particularly with kids. Funny enough, I have never been drawn to this festival and I still am trying hard to conform with the fun factor it seems to represent.

The difficulties are that there are more crimes committed in the name of Holi celebrations which makes it difficult for me to believe in it. Many girls are raped by mobs and women, whether married or not, are not safe traveling or being outdoors in public on the day of Holi. For the police, it is not possible to control huge mobs that are celebrating a festival. That is exactly why many rapists go scot-free on this day because it is not possible to identify them as well. Due to these dismal but perfectly valid reasons, the fun filled, colorful festival fails to inspire me. Forgive my honesty but that's just the way I am. I can't pretend to like something that I don't believe in.

However, my personal thoughts do not prevent me from wishing you all a very happy, joyous and fun filled Holi. Stay safe, avoid mobs, drive carefully and take greater care of the girls and womenfolk in the family while outdoors.

Happy Holi!
