My father got the national award for Disaster Management in India. The award is for founding the Natural Disaster Response Force (NDRF). Since its inception, NDRF has tried to make India safe for its vulnerable denizens.
Very proud of my father's achievements

Modern Life as we know it is a roller coaster. It is designed not to let us find our bearings. Our coping mechanisms are being monetised and are undermining our humanity.
