Bravery Day, also known as Parakram Diwas, is now a recognised national day in India and is observed on January 23. In 2021, just before Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s 125th birthday, the Indian government unveiled it.
Referred as Netaji, he fought for independence throughout his life, within the country and from abroad. Owing to the legendary freedom fighter’s extraordinary contribution to the Indian freedom struggle, the government designated Netaji’s birthday as Parakram Diwas in 2021.
Subhas Chandra Bose was one of the major Indian leaders during the struggle for Independence. Born on 23 January 1897, Bose quickly became the leader of the young, radical wing of the Indian National Congress hoping for socialist reforms in India.
It is traditionally observed in all over India. It is an official holiday in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Tripura and Assam. The Government of India pays tribute to Netaji on this day. Netaji Jayanti was observed as Parakram Divas for the first time in 2021 on his 124th birth anniversary.
Subhas Chandra Bose was Selected for the Indian Civil Services (ICS) but refused to take up service since he did not want to serve the British government. Bose joined the Indian National Congress (Formed on December 28, 1885) in 1921. He also started a newspaper called ‘Swaraj’.
The Indian freedom struggle and the war of independence led by Subhas Chandra Bose had a profound impact on those countries. Netaji’s status establishes him as the “hero of freedom” globally.

My brother used to work for Croma as a Store Manager.
Croma Electronic Store is owned by Tata Group.
Ratan Tata was then the Chairman of Tata Group.
Being a Store Manager, he had to personally coordinate with his team when there were any electronics installations in High-Net Clients house.
He had been to many famous celebrities, politicians houses for installations of electronics.
He would later in the day tell me which famous person house he went that day and how was the experience.
Now he gets a message from the Area Manager that an LED TV installation was to be done at Mr. Ratan Tata’s House.
He went to his house which is located in Malabar Hill.
When they rang the bell, Mr. Ratan Tata himself opened the door.
He had a three-legged German Shepard who was present beside him.
He welcomed all three of them and showed the location of the TV.
Now we would expect a multimillionaire/billionaire to live life in a posh way having all luxuries.
Here was Mr. Tata wearing a normal simple Parsi shorts and Vest in his modest home.
The furniture there was old vintage style and the decor he said must’ve been the same for ages.
The biggest shock was, he owned one of the best electronics store chain in India and still had a Sony Box TV, which was around 30 years old minimum.
Now one would guess he must’ve got a 50 or 60 inch latest LED, nope, his choice was a normal 32 inch Sony Bravia LED.
My brother said he was one of the most humble persons he ever met.
He is a perfect example of simple living high thinking lifestyle.

Suniel Shetty • Entrepreneur I Actor I Investor & Mentor I Sportsman at Heart
My professional journey has been long, wide & winding.
By 21, I was a settled restaurateur and most people expected me to stick to that path.
At 24, I was drawn to fashion merchandising. To some, it seemed silly to give up a flourishing family business and start out in fashion, but that leap led me to building out my first baby, Mischief!
At 28, my closest friends thought it was ridiculous to give up being a fashion entrepreneur to pursue a career in films.
Restaurateur to Merchandiser. Retailer to Actor. NGO to Real Estate. Brand Ambassador to Mentor. Film Producer to Startup Founder 🙂
While it was uncommon back then to make career switches, things are different today. Education today has become specific to interests, and ultimately careers.
I’ve met several young professionals who have upskilled, reinvented themselves, pivoted to different industries, or made a big switch in their careers, especially in the post Covid world.
What hasn’t changed though, is what one needs to do in order to succeed at making such changes and transitions.
These have been some of my guiding principles whenever it came to making those transitions,
1. Family – always take your family into confidence. If there’s any resistance, work through it. My parents, my sisters Suj & Sumi, my wife Mana and now my kids, are always a part of any key decision. My dad always said, ‘One life to live, give it your best’, and knowing I had his blessings did magic for my confidence.
2. Plan – Make a roadmap, with little milestones. Identify areas that need special focus. Speak to people, gather intelligence and prepare well. I did a whole lot of homework about the real estate business before we broke ground with our first project.
3. X Factor – Figure out what it is that you can bring to the table that most others can’t. When I opened my first fashion store, I was sourcing stuff from international markets way before anyone else did. Midnight sales were a huge hit @ Mischief, probably because it was unheard of in the early 90’s.
4. Network – Build connections, and maintain them. Don’t do this with the hope of gaining something. Do it from a genuine place, and add value to their lives. Yes, be genuine in your approach to networking. Some connections, I’ve now nurtured for close to 40 years.
5. Improve, consistently – Keep finding ways at getting better. Upskill. It’s simple, there’s no way around this. When my team & I started our content company, I could not afford to think like a film actor or producer. I just HAD TO think and act like the Founder of a bootstrapped venture. And it meant having to reinvent and learn a lot of new things.
Most importantly, be HAPPY in whatever you do.
For all of you who’re in the process of making a change, I truly hope these will help.

Going anonymous here as I don’t want anyone who knows me to think I’m bragging.
I purchased a Bentley Continental GT V8S in the US (San Francisco).
This is where things get interesting. Once they got the money things started to move very quickly.
