Back in 2012, I interviewed the late Parag Parikh when he was about to launch PPFAS Mutual Fund. Besides his contrarian investing style, the one thing that stood out about him was his refreshingly candid take on things. This was when mutual funds were witnessing outflows for years and assets under management stood at a little over Rs 5 lakh crore - largely debt-oriented. When I asked him how he planned to garner investments at a time when mutual funds weren't in favour, he said: "By being on the side of the investor". He then pointed to a note he had gotten stamped on the physical prospectus of the AMC's inaugural equity fund that said: "Please do not invest in this fund if you can't remain invested for at least five years".

In a heartwarming moment that has gained attention online, an Indian pilot has shared a personal milestone from his flying career that moved many viewers. The incident was shared through a video posted on social media by Captain Azam Ally, who expressed his emotions during a special in-flight announcement.
Captain Azam Ally shared a video on Instagram in which he made an emotional announcement during a flight, revealing that his wife and children were also on board the very same aircraft. In the video, he is seen addressing the passengers in a calm yet deeply emotional manner. He begins by introducing himself to all the passengers.
In his announcement, he says, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain from the flight deck. My name is Captain Azam Ally." He then goes on to explain that there are three extremely significant moments in a pilot's life.
He further states that there are "three flights a pilot never forgets." He explains that the first is the solo flight, an experience he recalls from nearly 24 years ago during his time as a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force. He also notes that the second significant moment is the final flight before retirement-a milestone that, for him, is still about two decades away.
He then reveals that the third moment is the most special of all. He says, "The third and perhaps the most important flight is when you get an opportunity to fly with your family. Today is that day for me. My wife and kids are travelling on this flight." Following these words, the passengers on board the aircraft respond with applause and smiles.
