Why Raghuram Rajan's Exit Should Matter

So there have been numerous articles and enough analysis done over RBI Governor's exit. Sure, we are in a democracy and that entitles people to express their opinion, which might border on excessive criticism.

I always thought Raghuram Rajan's tenure in RBI similar to Mohan Bhargava's in the movie Swades. 
NRI arrives in India looking to improve the situation of a country, leaving behind the comforts of his adopted country. And this is where the similarity ends.

There are vultures who chose to swoop down on his mistakes and make a big deal about it. His methods were questioned but no one choose to highlight his achievements. He was written off by people who do not even have the qualifications to do so. And we, as a country looked on mutely as the drama unfolded. The occasional Facebook status, a series of retweets and we assumed we had done our part.

We finally managed to wear out a person's enthusiasm to stay back in the country. Congratulations, we just ensured that no NRI would choose to return to India to give back to his country. Good job done.

For The Small Joys of Life

Everyday routine is what tires me out. Ever since I have been back to India, my life has been following a set pattern which is typical of any Indian household. At the end of the day, I am too exhausted to talk to the BH and promptly   drift off to sleep (who said pregnancy was easy?). This lack of quality time was further adding to the drudgery of daily life. And just like that, life gives you a reason to smile again.

I was to appear for routine blood and urine tests early in the morning. The BH joined me a while later at the clinic post his driving classes. It was assumed that I would walk the way to home while he would leave by bike. Imagine my surprise when he chose to walk the way home with the motorcycle in tow! Anyone looking at it would think it to be a funny sight but that one incident really melted my heart. To this day, I still remember it with fondness and thank life for such tiny, memorable moments.
