Books published by M G Warrier

My adventures with writing and publishing First time I saw my name in print was when a Malayalam translation of a short Hindi story was published in Mathrubhumi Weekly when I was 12 or 13 years old. My responses were being published in the media since 2003. That was the year I retired from service a little early and my responses in financial newspapers became more frequent. Former DG, SS Tarapore persuaded me to publish my first book putting together all published articles. Actually he wrote the foreword for my first book, Banking, Reforms & Corruption (2014, Sampark, Kolkata. Now available in eBook format as "Chasing Inclusive Growth" Notion Press, Chennai) : https://amzn.in/d/4kquFhk The following 10 years, I published three more books with the help of Notion Press and some more using the free publishing facilities of Kindle Direct Publishing.

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Sunday, January 12, 2025 Good Morning Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday this week. Nice Day M G Warrier A Amazon Book Review Tuesdays with Morrie : Reviewed by M G Warrier https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/review/0751527378/R1N0G444AG55FN?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dprv_QYDBWBGAT9QX6VKY145P&language=en-IN Excerpts : M G Warrier I crossed 80 last year. I'm a slow reader. I haven't reached reading page 150 of a 200 plus pages book in one week and "Tuesdays with Morrie" helped me post this record and I am celebrating the occasion. Again, usually I read last pages first, even while reading suspense thrillers. As my friend who recommended this Mitch Albom book had given me some idea about this book, I opted to read from page 1 to the last page without scanning pages in between. When I reached half way, I was getting uncomfortable about the story coming to an end. I started reading slower and slower. Why? To know that...

For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ag...

Live in the present

Live in the present "Live in the present" is a profound advice. But present doesn't exist without past and future. I may be wrong. Omar Khayyam said "Dead Yesterday, Unborn Tomorrow..." Everyone may be right, in the context the statement is made. We dissect and mutilate observations out of context. Let's focus on the present. M G Warrier

Warrier's Collage on December 31, 2024

Welcome To Warrier's COLLAGE On Tuesday, December 31, 2024 : Happy New Year 2025 Good Morning Collage has not been regular, of late, even as a weekly edition. For personal reasons! 🙏 Happy New Year to all and Happy Birthday to all readers having Birthday this week 🎊 M G Warrier A Welcome 2025 New Year gives you a once in a year opportunity to take stock, prepare and move forward. Collage Editorial, December 31, 2024 Social Responsibility India has accepted universal social security as a responsibility of government and interwoven all its ingredients in the Constitution. As it seemed a distant goal, the enabling provisions were included in Directive Principles and most of them are not legally enforceable. This position resulted in food security, health insurance and pension system becoming dependent on the magnanimity of the central and state governments of the day. As of now there is total awareness about the need to factor in the elements of all ing...

In praise of losing!

In Praise Of Losing! The Hindu Open Page article today (Sunday, December 22, 2024) "Losing is the new winning" by Jairam N. Menon is a "Must Read" for winners, losers and those aspirants and trainers who are helping others including their own family members to win. Yes. Several basics about winning and losing are covered in the piece. Kindly refuse to be carried away by the elements of negativism and sarcasm which Menon has skillfully camouflaged. In principle, generally, in sports and war, the game is played or the battle is fought, irrespective of the chances of winning or losing. Sportsmanship and fighting spirit are words coming to mind in this context. This year (2024), I have joined the group of Octogenarians and perhaps it is late in the day to talk about winning and losing with a future perspective. But, as always, nothing prevents one from sharing memories or revisiting experiences for the benefit of those who are interested in listening or reading. T...
