Impermanence of life - Pragnesh Ruparel

The day opened with a rude shocker on our school FB Group ,that Pragnesh Ruparel a close friend of mine ever since I was 10 passed away this morning through an arrest on his heart while on a morning walk .

Even last night he was celebrating the fact that the BJP was on a road to victory in Bengal and I as usual was taking a friendly dig at him . A man of strong convictions he remained a diehard RSS supporter with a desire to bring about economic development in Bengal much in the lines of Gujarat . This obviously lead to his leg often being pulled by his Bengali friends .

A staunch and true blue Xaverian , his father also happened to be an alumnus of our Alma Mater ,the prestigious St Xavier's Collegiate School in Calcutta . Prganesh was a man of stout built in school and carried a lot of physics prowess. He never misused the same , until he was forced to size down a bully who had joined from Don Bosco Park Circus . After declaring victory , he took the bully out for lunch .

Pragnesh even to this day had a beautiful collection of Tintin & Asterix comics. He also recommended pdfdrive.com to me from where I have downloaded over 500 books .

The five qualities that I have learnt from him include :

1.Be consistent and strong in your views after backing them with facts

2.Be strong but never misuse your power

3.Spend a lot of time reading

4.Focus on your strengths. After burning his fingers in the stock market in the early 90s ,he never visited the stock markets again .

5.Commitment and hard work . He worked earlier for Emami and later for Bennett and Colemann. Always remained dedicated and hardworking and committed to his tasks .

I consider myself fortunate to have him in my life and I would like to imbibe his life philosophies as we continue to move ahead.

A true devotee of Lord Krishna , Pragnesh I am sure will attain Divinity and I will continue to pray for his peaceful onward journey .

Spirits of Estonia

http://www.inyourpocket.com/estonia/tallinn/Spirits-of-Estonia_56060f 1 For some of our readers, vodka might just be some colorless liquid that tastes like rubbing alcohol but goes great mixed in a cocktail. In Estonia however, hard liquor is pretty serious stuff. Spirits can be made from many raw materials including grapes, potato, and grain. These days in Estonia the vast majority of vodka is made using high quality rye grain. First the raw material is fermented using yeast, which creates a weak alcohol or mash. Next this product is distilled creating a much stronger alcohol. Finally the impurities are filtered off, and water is added to bring the percentage from about 96 to about 40.And that is how you make vodka! Of course there is much to be said about quality and it certainly varies from brand to brand. The world’s best vodkas are made from the finest grains, the purest waters, multiple distillation & special filtration techniques. A little history Alcohol wa
