My family in the news

This last month has seen my family come in the news and get our 15 seconds of fame.

First, my parents were covered extensively in the Kannada newspapers and Indian Express (Mangalore Edition) for their organizing of the Nagamandala Utsava.It was a grand success where more than 20000 people were fed and the ceremonies were televised live by local channels.

Now, my wife Ruma has come in a Bloomberg news story about working women in India

RIP Dr. Patil

Dr.R.H. Patil , the architect of the National Stock Exchange, died yesterday.

I had the opportunity to see him work at NSE, Mahindra Towers, Worli and then later at the Clearing Corporation, Kamala Mills,Lower Parel.

He was the rarest of rare individuals-a top class technocrat with phenomenal leadership and people skills.

His achievements were extraordinary and it would be fair to say that he was one of the builders of modern India

When the history of Capital Markets is narrated, his name will be written in golden letters
