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,

4th Anniversary

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
