Jerry Godinho interviews Vivek Bhasin about women and empowerment, among other things:

CAPTAIN VIVEK BHASIN

· Women are the essence and driving force behind men’s existentialism in this world. Emotions, love, tolerance, determination and immense strength come from women · The world is truly beautiful because of women … my mother taught me so much in the first five years of my life ·

I love Vivek’s style of writing, eclectic style of dress, Mick Jagger’ joie de vivre and fathomless, ardent love for his alma mater. We both went to a British boarding school, both of us were Lefroyans, he settles in Sweden, I in Canada, his wife is Swedish, mine is Scottish.

I thought I had seen 30 countries and that was a great achievement. Vivek has seen 110. This interview does not do justice to all his achievements. He has been mistaken for the Indian ambassador to the UK, to being mistaken for a vagabond by the New York cops.  As he leaves the corporate world as managing director of Dole Foods, I wanted to get his perspective on life.

They have learnt how to cope and come out the better with less resources except what they have naturally inherited. And this makes them stronger and richer than men in the battle of survival. My wife Ameeta and I have tried our best to bring up our children (both girls) in a way so that now we are satisfied that we have given this world two beautiful individuals who will be of benefit to this planet and had it not been for our efforts, this world would have been the poorer without these two beautiful and precious persons.
