N. Vaghul – A rare diamond
My dear friend Vaghul was a rare diamond of splendorous colours. I was privileged to be on the Board of ICICI when it transformed itself from a development financial institution to a ‘universal bank’ in the late 1990s. Kamath, Kalpana Morparia, Shikha Sharma, Nachiket Mor and many others, went on to not only lead institutions, but also to transform the landscape of the financial sector.

"Either you establish an Israeli military government or an Arab-led government." Mr. Netanyahu is also under pressure from Washington to swiftly bring an end to the conflict and avoid being mired in a long counterinsurgency campaign. But Mr. Netanyahu has rejected any role for the PA in post-war Gaza, saying on Thursday that it "supports terror, educates terror, finances terror".
