Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

RE: 4th Anniversary

 Dear Guru,

 

Thanks for your kind words – which keep pushing me when , occasionally , I feel cynical

 

Wish you and your family , a very happy Diwali

Dear Hemenji

 

Wow, what an excellent summarizing of the potent and lost opportunities to a conscientious PM who reportedly sleeps just for four hours! You have ably held before him both a mirror and a binocular. This brilliant action of yours is very timely too, Hemenji, in addition to the inherent merit of the specific suggestions.

 

You indeed are a down-to-earth 'deshpremi' and yet large-hearted enough & ready to learn from any nation or individual, as long as their ideas are worth considering to forging ahead the prospects of a resurgent India. My reverential bow to your spirit.

 

Warm regards and 'bestest' wishes for your dreams to come true soon. = Gurudatt

Dear Narendrabhai,




On this day , four years ago ( 06 Nov 2014 ) , I sent you a folder ( titled " Transforming India " )

 

It contained hard copies of my following suggestions



In last 4 years , some got implemented / some are under implementation / some remain , as per my perception ( Status in Nov 2018 )



But then , a backlog of past 65 years of " Indecision " , cannot get cleared in 4 years



 There is no time to look back , no way you can avoid your " tryst with destiny " 



Because , you have " promises to keep / and miles to go before you sleep "  !




I will return with a fresh evaluation on 06 Nov 2019



In the meantime, I urge our Countrymen ( - and, more importantly , women ) to give you a fresh mandate in 2019 election



with regards,


hemen parekh
