The week that went by saw the first snowfall of the season, and though it was not enough to make a snow-woman, officers of the Phase 1 (2019 batch of the IAS) and Phase 3 (MCTP) at the LBSNAA were delighted to feel the flakes on their faces, pose for innumerable photographs, make short videos for their friends and families, and generally scamper around, even as a few of them slipped and hurt themselves! Most of the Phase I officers were very keen to get a glimpse before the Winter Study Tour, and indeed most of their groups got an opportunity to see the snow, and for most of them, it was their first ever encounter with this white fleece ! The other highlight of the week was the Annual Formal Dinner at the Officers Mess – a ritual and a rite of passage before officers embark on their Army attachment. This four-course silver service dinner has been part of the ICS and IAS tradition, and we do have the signed menus from the service dinners held at Metcalfe House before the Academy shifted to Charleville at Mussoorie. Unlike the days of the Raj, it ends with an (apple juice) toast to The President (of India) and to The Service (IAS) and, this time, it was felt that many more toasts could have been raised, as the antiquated tradition of a speech with every toast had been dispensed with! The internet is full of stories of how some Senators fell off to sleep during some long winded speeches at the Capitol Hill. However, a light hearted after dinner speech has to be made to ensure that the evening ends on a light and friendly note! Before the first formal meal, there’s always some apprehension about the event, especially as everyone has to keep track of when the Chief Guest starts and stops eating! The latter is more important, for as soon as the Chief Guest crosses his fork and knife, that particular course comes to an end, and the bearers withdraw the plates from the table. Usually in settings as large as the Aca

1978 crime in New Delhi, India

The Geeta and Sanjay Chopra kidnapping case (also known as the Ranga-Billa case) was a kidnapping and murder crime in New Delhi in 1978. It involved the kidnapping and subsequent murder of siblings Geeta and Sanjay by Kuljeet Singh (alias Ranga Khus) and Jasbir Singh (alias Billa). Although the children were kidnapped for ransom, they were killed after the kidnappers learned that their father was a naval officer, in the assumption that he was not wealthy. Both men initially admitted to raping Geeta before her murder. They later retracted their statements and forensic evidence could not confirm the rape. The two kidnappers were convicted and sentenced to death. The execution was carried out in 1982. Crime Patrol Dial 100 aired two episodes on Sony TV based on the story, 723 and 724 on 28 February 2018 and 1 March 2018. The case was also shown on the TV series Bhanwar and 2025 netflix series Black Warrant, which was based on real-life court cases.

Kidnapping

Geeta Chopra was a 16½-year-old 2nd year student in the Jesus and Mary College, New Delhi. Her brother, Sanjay, was 14-year-old student in the 10th standard of the Modern School. Their father, Madan Mohan Chopra, was a captain in the Indian Navy. They li

The founders of Infosys — the software firm identified with India’s IT boom — Narayan Murthy and Nandan Nilekani wrote ‘Better India, Better World’ and ‘Imagining India’ respectively to discuss the trajectory of their lives, as well as their dilemmas, hopes, and expectations from India. Their spouses have been equally good at penmanship if not better: Sudha Murthy is an award-winning author of inspirational books for young adults and kids, and Rohini Nilekani has written a treatise on Samaaj, Sarkar, and Bazaar – a template for partnership among civil society, government, and markets.

However, the story of India’s finest hardware firm — Hindustan Computers Limited — was waiting for a muse, and who could do a better job than one of its own co-founders, Ajai Chowdhry. His book ‘Just Aspire: Notes on Technology, Entrepreneurship and the Future’fills an important gap in India’s business history, tracing the origins of India’s knowledge economy through the PC revolution and the subsequent explosion in mobile telephony. In fact, it is important to place on record that both Infosys and HCL were founded by young engineers from non-business families.

Now for the offering itself: ‘Just Aspire’ is the memoir of the HCL co-founder who dons many hats — entrepreneur, sportsman, salesman, engineer, educationist, jazz aficionado, patron of classical music, Devanand fan, angel investor, and a passionate advocate for the Right to Repair, all with equal ease. Growing up in the sleepy but picturesque town of Jabalpur in a family that had migrated from Abbottabad in the throes of Partition, his parents, like all of India’s middle class, wanted their prodigal son to take the IAS exam and follow his father’s footsteps for the stable, secure, and well-respected life of a powerful mandarin. But that was not to be, and even though his father was initially disappointed by his son’s decision to opt for a career outside of government, in
