    The Tragic Loss of the"Precious life" of Mr.V.G.Siddhartha: Founder of Cafe Coffee Day "But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself." Albert Camus Work to live well,not live to work It is tragic that many don't realise that life is not all about work and success,it about being able to have an equipoise of "work-life" balance Harnessing emotional intelligence, stress management, professional wellness, satisfaction and fulfilling a work-life 'yin yan' should be the "mantra". Life is precious, a successful life is not just "work" alone Perhaps I deem it apt to recall our Indian industrialist, Mr.Ratan Tata's inspiring speech that he gave at Symbiosis,Pune in 2014 May the soul of this brilliant entrepreneur Mr.Siddhartha rest in peace.

    Why blame the income tax issue only . He apparently blamed pressures from PE investors as well. Why is that being conveniently ignored? And isn’t it strange that we expect the govt to provide facilities but at the same time cringe to pay taxes?

    The most risky profession is businessman..a businesman has to face competitors, income tax, ups and down in sales , banks...and many more obstructions....finding a job is slightly easier than creating one...govt. should help all the businessmen as a same to all small businessmen who could not give party fund...😡😡
