early inspiration in art comes from her grandmother’s room where she found oleographs of Raja Ravi Verma. Since then Lalitha always had the desire to be an artist. As children, every weekend their grandmother would take them to their uncle’s home on a tram and all the siblings (the Padukone’s and the Benegals) would spend the entire weekend watching films.
However, Lalitha’s mother wanted her to become a classical singer and insisted that she learn classical music. Lalitha did learn and after a lot of insistence she performed some ragas at their community gathering in Calcutta. However, she was more inclined towards painting than singing. Stubborn Lalitha came home one day after her music class and kept her foot down saying, “No More Music, Art is all I want to do.”
Lalitha Lajmi: Kalpana was young, an 18-year-old who had fallen for a man who was the age of her father. She never told me anything back then; now of course I know. Kalpana fell in love that day at the dinner table. She grew to love Bhupen da. Around that time my sister-in-law Geeta had passed away. So the children would often spend time together, and I believe Kalpana used to meet Bhupen da with that excuse, which I didn’t know in the beginning. Bhupen da was then staying in a hotel somewhere in Khar or Santacruz. A theatre friend told me one day that Kalpana had been spending time with Bhupen da. At that point I didn’t know what to do. Now when I think of it I feel I was not a good mother because I didn’t know how to deal with such a thing. The friend also mentioned that Bhupen da was a person who had destroyed many women’s lives. He was not dependable and all this would never end in marriage.
Later on after earning some money they invested in another house nearby, but Bhupen da became really unwell. He underwent surgery but eventually he passed away. I was there with Kalpana as always. I could never have my daughter be alone. She was grieving and that’s how she wrote a book on him.

Viktor Frankl, a concentration camp survivor, says in his life-altering book ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ that man can preserve a vestige of spiritual freedom, of independence of mind, even in terrible conditions of psychic and physical stress because, while everything can be taken from him, the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, remains. One finds a higher calling, a meaning in life, which comes from purposeful work, love, and courage in the face of difficulty. The meaning of life, which differs from man to man, and from moment to moment, accrues over time.
Cancer creates a rupture in life as we have known until now. What we think of ourselves, our place in the world, and our expectations are all shattered.
In India, Bajaj has always been known for its patriotic branding right from the days of the old Bajaj scooter with “Hamara Bajaj”. Of course, this was a time when India followed a quasi-socialist path that banned imports.
Nike although originating in America, has established itself as a truly global brand by capturing the hearts of young people in every country they entered. When it leverages sports events, it has the distinct advantage of itself being a sports brand. Their commercial for the Rio Olympics then did just that. It captured the quintessential Nike values of portraying success as the consequence of merely trying harder and combining them powerfully with passion for sport and patriotism.
