| Hi Folks |
 |
India is a land of several ‘Cs’ – contradictions, complexities, comparisons, creativity, chaos, corruption , the last of which is being talked about far too much than the others of late. This fortnight, we enjoyed ‘Dussehra’, the 10 day long festival being celebrated with traditional gaiety and fervor across the country even as we know millions of Bond fans are eagerly waiting for ‘SkyFall’ to release. While both ensure excellent entertainment in their own |
| way – the message is loud and clear – victory of good over evil. For a change, let us move away from the topic of corruption and governance and focus on creativity. |
| This being the golden jubilee year of the Bond films, one of our professional associates, a die-hard Bond fan has beautifully chronicled the Bond Legend in the form of an interesting article that is carried in the Entrepreneur’s World. So passionate is he about the Bond movies that he has dedicated the piece ‘Bond and Business’ to the charms of Mr. Bond and allowed his imagination to run far and wide. Who says Company Secretaries are not a creative lot? The power of imagination and creativity has no boundaries, unless we deliberately shackle them. |
| Bond is empowered with his ubiquitous 007 and you with the power of information, with the power of knowledge that never dies! |
