• The Other Side of the High Life

  

  I don’t cook – I can but I don’t, it’s just one of the many things that I just don’t feel like doing. However, I love watching anything & everything about food on TV. I am obsessed with watching these master chefs create their mouth-wateringly wonderful dishes with stars in my eyes – especially when…

• The Other Side of Relativity

  

  There was a young lady named Bright,Whose speed was faster than light;She went out one day in a relative way,And returned on the previous night. ― Arthur Henry Reginald Buller My astrophysicist father was a big fan of Albert Einstein. So, the college where he was the Head of the Physics Department couldn’t find a better…

• Looking back… at the Other Side

  

  In September 2023, I had posted my first article on LinkedIn that marked the beginning of the series “The Other Side by Aparna”. 11 months later, I am posting my 50th article – a fitting milestone for taking a look back at how it all started and an opportunity to share some analytics. On a…

• And Just Like That… I was on the Other Side

  

  When I was pursuing my M.Sc. in Pune University, I had once nicked my left forearm. The cut was so small that I disregarded it, not realizing that over the days that followed, it had festered into a pus-filled mess that made my entire arm swell like a loaf. I kept ignoring it in spite…

• Speaking up! … has Another Side

  

  Whenever there is a mishap or accident on the road, have you noticed that no matter whose fault it is, the driver of the bigger vehicle always gets beaten up? If a pedestrian is crossing the road even when there is heavy influx of traffic, without paying any heed to passing vehicles, if a person…

• Service Providers… and their Other Side

  

  The experience that I have garnered over the last 10 months as an Independent Consultant for Pharma Global Capability Centres (GCCs) & Service Providers has not only given me a lot of insights into the thought process that goes behind establishing GCCs in India but also the other side of Service Providers which, like the…

• The Sound of Music… from the Other Side

  

  The hills are alive with the sound of music,With songs they have sung for a thousand years.The hills fill my heart with the sound of music,My heart wants to sing every song it hears. These words of Julie Andrews were the background music of my life when I was growing up. Since then, music has…

  When I visited Agra in the December of 2022, my anticipation of seeing the Taj Mahal for the very first time in my life knew no bounds. Moreover, we got a “Taj” facing room in our hotel and not being able to hold in our excitement, the first thing that my sister and I did…

• The Other Side of Praying

  

  When I was a child, it was a ritual in our family to see movies of Amitabh Bachchan. I do not remember going to the theatre to see the movies of any other actor. I literally grew up on a staple diet of Amitabh Bachchan and I remain a big fan till this day. Whenever…

• The Other Side of Relationships

  

  At the tender age of 4, my younger brother went through an emergency surgery for perforation of the Meckel’s diverticulum – a rare condition which back then was even more difficult to diagnose and treat. He spent a good 3 months in the hospital recovering not just from the life-threatening condition but also from multiple…
