This December marks my completion of four years of being an ‘EV user.’ Boasting myself as an early adopter of technology, I bought the e-bike in the B.C. (Before COVID) era. The excitement or euphoria of being the torchbearer of the Green Technology triumphed over the initial teething problems with the EV. However, after using it extensively for four years, particularly, when many people have adopted EVs in the last couple of years for their daily commute, I can say that electric is the future of the mobility sector at least in the two and three-wheeler segments in India . But then the most important question comes, how sustainable EVs or electric mobility is? When the world is seriously talking about SDG (Sustainability Development Goals) and corporates mulling over ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues globally, sustainability is the keyword for the future of mobility.  The recent COP 28 summit in Dubai also aims to reduce emissions through pragmatic energy and create

  P.S.- When Pathan crossed 1000 Cr. Worldwide, I had written a blog, so for  Jawan , ‘ Ek  blog to  banata   hai ’  😊 'Ek Raja tha, ek ke baad ek jung haarta gaya, bhuka-pyaasa, bahut gusse me tha..' The description suits SRK who has delivered back-to-back blockbusters in a single year and may give another blockbuster with Dunki. After Pathan, now Jawan is on the verge of crossing 1000 Crore Worldwide collections. Whosoever has watched Jawan in theatres, has something to say, be it good or bad. You love it or hate it but you cannot ignore it. I have watched Jawan with family and surprisingly my teenage son and little daughter also liked  it . You can call me a fan of SRK, but the fact is that I am a fan of Aamir’s acting. I liked SRK in Baazigar and he won my heart with DDLJ. That was the era of romance and SRK established himself as the King of Romance with back-to-back romantic superhits like DTPH and KKHH. When eloping from home was cool, he convinced the couples with a p

  ‘INDIA, India’ Irfan came shouting into my study, as Ronjoy and Amitabh were already sitting beside me discussing the funding strategy for their start-up. ‘What happened Irfan? Which match have we won?’I asked. ‘It’s not a cricket match Sanju sir, but a political tournament. And now the poster boy of INDIA will soon be seen in the parliament.’ Irfan explained with ecstasy. ‘I don’t think that it will make any difference to the election result. Because it is not India, but I.N.D.IA.’ Amitabh clarified. ‘But will it make any difference to the common man, if the government changes?’ I asked. ‘Definitely sirjee.’ Ranjoy screamed with fury, ‘Can’t you see what’s happening in our country? Every now and then there are incidences of violence in Bengal. And what to say about Manipur and Haryana riots!’ ‘So do you think that the poster boy of INDIA will change that?’ Asked Amitabh. ‘He may not change it completely, but he will at least discuss the issues that really matter to a common man.’ Ir

भारत देश के सभी निवासी इस वर्ष आजादी का अमृत महोत्सव मना रहे है। और इसी वर्ष से भारत देश अमृत काल में प्रवेश कर चुका है. अमृत काल के प्रथम वर्ष के अवसर पर मैं एक बहुत की महत्वपूर्ण विषय पर हिंदी में ब्लॉग लिखने की चेष्टा करने का साहस कर रहा हूं । अगर कोई त्रुटी रह जाए तो क्षमा कर देना। दुकान के सामने लिखी हुई यह पट्टी UPI के जमाने में ज्यादा नजर नहीं आती। मगर दोस्ती यारी में उधारी लेना सदियों से चलता आ रहा है और शायद आगे भी चलता रहेगा। इसी प्रकार एक सज्जन की जरूरत को देखकर तीन साल पहले मैने यारी में केवल पांच हजार रुपए उधार स्वरूप दिए लेकिन ना उस सज्जन ने आज तक वो पैसे लौटाए ना ही कभी मेरा फोन उठाया। बल्कि एक मौके पर जब वो मेरे सामने से गुजरा तो पहचान दिखाने से भी परहेज की। दूसरे एक सज्जन ने इसी प्रकार 'आज देता हूं कल देता हूं' करके पूरे दो साल बाद मुझे मेरे बचे हुए कुछ पैसे लौटाए । लेकिन उधारी का ज्यादा तनाव लेनेवालों की बजाय देनेवालों को ही रहता है । क्योंकि उधार लेनेवाले को लगता है की देनेवाले के पास अतिरिक्त पैसा है इसीलिए उसने उधार दिया होगा। जबकि देनेवाला कभी तो दोस्ती
