4:20 pm Many of us may have a desire to break out on our own and think we have the entrepreneurial instinct to start a successful new venture. But are we prepared for the risks and the nimbleness it takes to maneuver the pitfalls? We are fortunate today to have with us Balaji Pasumarthy, a serial entrepreneur who can share his experiences and personal insights into making the business venture successful. Based in India, he's currently visiting the US, and took the time to come to the studio to talk about leadership and other concepts that might help budding entrepreneurs.

4:50 pm We will continue to talk about entrepreneurship with another successful entrepreneur, Sunil Pangarkar who is going to be facilitating a seminar organized by The Indus Entrepreneurs – or TiE for short - on 18 October at the Junior League of Houston. The seminar will focus on Impact Investing and Sunil will be calling in to tell us exactly what that means.

5:20 pm In the past 33 years, Dr. Arun Verma has made his mark in Houston as a real estate entrepreneur after leading a very successful career in oil and gas in Canada. In the past thirteen years he has made another career for himself as the organizer of the Dussehra and Diwali celebration which has become a tradition in the greater Houston area. He calls in today to tell us about the upcoming event on October 26th and what to expect at the festival.

Also stay tuned in for news roundup, views, sports and movie reviews.

4:20 pm The elections last week in Sri Lanka have ushered in a new Marxist president Anura Kumara Dissanayake, commonly referred to by his initials AKD, who will serve as the tenth President of Sri Lanka since 1972. Elected an anti-corruption platform, he has called for snap elections for the 225-member parliament in order to garner a majority for his 3-member party to form a ruling coalition. He faces enormous hurdles since the country’s economic collapse two years ago. We asked Sri Lankan expatriate and local immigration attorney Chiro Nanayakkara to put things in perspective.

5:00 pm The coronavirus is resurging again and medical professionals are warning that we should take precautions against a wider spread, especially among the elderly and young. There is even a new vaccine out which people are encouraged to take, and many are wearing maskswhen they travel. We're joined today by coronavirus researcher Dr. Benjamin Neuman, a professor of biology and researcher at Texas A&M University to help answer people’s questions about viruses.

5:40 pm Our frequent guest host, Kapil Sharma, is on a vacation in India and visiting family in New Delhi.

Kapil is deeply analytical, so his report should be a treat for the Delhiites listening in.

4:20 pm As if being entangled in legal proceedings isn't bad enough, navigating the court system can be just as confusing and time consuming. But it is an important part of the process that can determine the outcome of your case, and knowing the judges and the courts they preside over is vital to understanding how to present your evidence for a favorable outcome. Today, we turn to Harris County Assistant District Attorney David Mitcham to guide us through the court system.

5:00 pm We are joined once again by our frequent guest, Medicare Insurance Broker Kaushi Shah to explain another less understood part of Medicare insurance.

4:20 pm With most of us living in the fast lane of work, family obligations and social networks, very few take the time to see how their investments are doing and even fewer have the necessary skill sets to do a good job in making their wealth work for them. We are joined once again by our monthly Private Wealth Advisor Supal Vora, CEO of Navina Wealth, to explain how to segregate your savings to short, medium and long-term investments and how that will save you taxes in the long run.

4:50 pm The City of Sugar Land wants to build a $146 million rapid-start natural gas plant to provide “clean and sustainable” power to support the Texas energy grid.  The plant, if completed, will be located on 8 acres west of the Sugar Land Regional Airport. The land is on a 100-acre planned industrial park that formerly housed the Central Prison Unit, ⁠which closed in 2011⁠. On September 5, nearly 300 Fort Bend County residents packed the atrium of the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land to protest and reject the proposal. We are joined today by Telfair residents Sanjay Singhal and Sapana Patel to tell us more about this contentious plan.

To tell us more about it, we will hear from some of her staff as well as community activist Karun Sreerama who is offering them some guidance.
