    I think we are always confused about what We want in life?
    If a Innovative car was to be designed for the masses, so be it, why side line the excellent invention by giving it a price tag?
    Ford designed the T model for the masses, even Maruti 800 was for the masses. They were aspirational products, not cheap products. Forget about convincing the general public, today, in my house if I even talk of buying a NANO, I am prohibited to do so because of its cheap tag ( and not because it is a inferior car)

"If you Desire change, change yourself first". I used to advise patients to opt for a active outdoor life. But nobody listened. As a Surgeon at 56, aspiring to be a role model for wellness and fitness I participated in the Polar Fjallraven 2018 contest. Few years back on reaching 50s, I had lot of problems.

Local treks ( Ghatkopar Tekddi, Mulund Tekddi, Sahayadri Ghats and Forts and then high altitude mountain treks in India and Nepa...

We have travelled to many places together, but many are still on the bucket list. Recover soon Patil so I can begin planning.

It will last till 2015, but not after that. So to protect myself for 2020 I have to make radical changes.“ On Monday , the world got a glimpse of the kind of change that Hamied had in mind when Cipla teamed up with California-based Gilead Lifesciences to make and sell its path-breaking Hepatitis C drug Sofosbuvir under voluntary licence.
