Day3: Nature at its best – #WorkingTogetherWorks
This is a photo from my visit to Venice when I participated in the Biennale 2014. Those who have been there will know the importance of the canal network and water transport system used for moving around. Imagine yourself rushing with all your luggage and camera equipment from your hotel to the boat station and being alerted that the canal will be closed in few minutes for the next 4 hours for a boat race. Thank god and I made it somehow and reached the other side till the railway station for my train to Milan to get the flight. Etihad had no direct flight to Venice those days.

Slight rain, wet road, wind + fast drivers = bad driving conditions. Drive safely

Share what you know – Letters to the editor Gulf News Dt 05th January 2017
I am just an ordinary expatriate who came to the UAE with lots of hopes and dreams in 1987. Life has evolved and revolved over the years of my stay in the UAE. I am happy to say that I lived most of my life here. The journey has not been easy for me all these years. I am worried about the number of people, close family members who have been affected by cancer. Some have already left this world and some are fighting it out. I want to support all those who are affected by cancer in some way or another.
Also, it’s important to me to promote talent and knowledge through my own initiative for sharing talent or knowledge from within us to others. What is the point of having a skill within you, if you are not willing to share it and pass it on to someone who is willing to propagate it? It is a challenge and many people who are talented hold on to it without passing on the skills to a second or third person. We have to share our skills, talents or knowledge to those around.

Hopes and Dreams for 2017
I am just an ordinary expatriate who came to the UAE with lots of hopes and dreams in 1987!. Life has evolved and revolved over the years of my stay in the UAE. I am happy to say that I lived most of my life in the UAE. The journey has not been easy for me all these years. I am worried about the number of people, close family members who have been affected by cancer. Some has already left this world and some fighting it out. I want to support all those who are affected by cancer, some way or other. Also, important is my orientation to promote talent and knowledge through my own initiative called “Talent Share” with a motto – a talent or knowledge within you is to be shared. True, what is the point of having a skill within you, if you are not willing to share it and pass it on to someone who is willing to propagate it!. It is a challenge, as many people who are talented hold on to it without passing on the skills to a second or third person. If we have to live an immortal life, we have to share our skills or talent or knowledge to those around. Remember Talent Share – with the motto “A talent or knowledge within you is to be shared”. Visit www.team1talentshare.blogspot.com and support it.

Water is precious
A tour through the mountain areas and once upon a time perennial river links of Kerala during my holidays showed me alarming signs of a danger that is almost here. Lack of rain, and careless usage of water. The coming months are going to be tough in terms of water availability in many parts of Kerala.
Water is Precious. Use it carefully and cautiously to avoid scarcity in the coming months.
Passing the baton
On holiday in Kerala and it was very special to meet the barber who used to cut my hair when I was a 5 year old. Time has changed. From 5 to 50, he has moved on from the one chair one mirror village barber shop to 3 chair full length mirrored air conditioned hair style centre with his son along with him. Regards to Babu.
Best wishes for 2017
2017 is here and I thought I post a special wish. Normally, my videos carry a title and end slides and narrations. This video is an exception to it. It is because, this video is common to all of us and not exclusive to me and my life. There is everyone of you in it.
Our life is like that of a passenger in a train journey. We get in at some point and interact with our co-passengers during our journey. Live happily and let others live happily too. Always remember to be safe, especially if you are driving and on the road. Remember #startearlydrivecarefullyreachsafely
Also remember to share your talent or knowledge. #Talentshare – a talent or knowledge within you is to be shared.
Wish you all a Happy, Prosperous, Peaceful. Healthier, Tolerant and Safe 2017.
