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?"

With regards,

BUDGET SUGGEST - 2017



In a recent interview with MINT , Ruchir Sharma ( author of " Rise and Fall of Nations " ) summarized his own " recommendations " for the forthcoming UNION BUDGET as follows :


" For the nation, what we need currently, if we have to become  GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE and to grow at the rate of 7 % , which is so difficult to do in today's environment on a sustained basis at the time when the global economy is growing at 3 % , is that :


*  we need to basically react to the international environment

Like my above-mentioned emails , there is no doubt that Shri Arun Jaitleyji must have received thousands of similar suggestions in the past few weeks


There is a small probability that some of these may find a place in his budget speech in Lok Sabha , on 01 Feb 2017 , even though , in a watered down version


But the only  BUDGETARY  REFORM  that can engrave his name in the annals of history can be :

An  Unprecedented Budget  Reform  (  09  Dec  2016 )
