Lessons about life

The report on Pepsico CEO Indra Nooyi’s convocation address to the class of 2015 at IIM-Calcutta was thought-provoking (“‘I still call my mother 2-3 times a day’,” April 5). Her exhortation to them ‘to learn, earn and return’ and to always stay humble is timely advice especially when families are increasingly becoming nuclear and the concept of old age homes is catching on. Ms. Nooyi’s move to ask the students to give their parents a round of applause was indeed thoughtful.
