Cyrus Mistry’s Message Always wear your car seat belt
It’s becoming more routine. Many who don’t wear their car seat tend to die in an accident. He need not have fded. His co-passengers who wore their seat belts escaped death. The message is clear. Do I have to say more?
Silent for a long time
It’s been a long time since I posted last. I had problems with sharing through a major social media link. I took more time to solve the problem than it actually warranted. I am not sure if my messages are coming through as it is on LinkedIn that I have the most viewers. I would …
