She gets up from the chair , went to her cabin, shuts the window shutters and cry..cry ..cry..ohh god...How she cried....... And then again when karan..the main pilot (arjun rampal) asked her kya tum mujhe maaf kar sakti ho.....And she says YES...I FORGIVE YOU KARAN. what a voice modulation by sakshi...Yaar... Genius..

Absolutely! I used to buy ADC just to read Busybee's take on various issues . Somehow he very much reminded me of PG Wodehouse style of writing. Similar subtle "olde worlde" humour. After his passing away I stopped reading it because other than his Round and About piece on the last page it used to be a very standard tabloid. It shut down almost a year back I think.

Behram was a gourmet and many of his pieces dealt with the various good food places in and around Mumbai. His knowledge about the nooks and crannies of Mumbai was unbelievable.

Apart from this, I think many renowned and illustrious journalists like MV Kamat , AR Kannangi , VK Kapoor , and our very own pramod Navalkar used to write centre page articles in the newspaper...

Sadly, they don't make writers like them anymore...

😊 not really. Though I like to read about economy and follow biotech and pharma stocks.

It's very nice to hear about your mom. Very few Indian women are 'financially literate'. And Maharashtrian women even less. Thanks to my brother, I knew about IPOs and stocks at a very early age.

My mother worked as a banker most of her life n after voluntary retirement esp working in fort area with sharebrokering mania thr she got hooked into it. So now o lord mon- fri its like a curfew in our house india she is busybee with phone calls 😂
