Mallya defaulted on ~₹9,000 crore (₹6,203 cr principal), but the ED seized and sold his assets, recovering ~₹14,000 crore. Anil Ambani’s RCom owed ₹47,251 crore and repaid just ₹455 crore; the rest was written off with banks recovering almost nothing (a ~99% haircut on Reliance Infratel). In short: Ambani’s default was five times larger, yet Mallya fled and paid in full while Ambani stayed in India and paid ~1%

50 years from now, your grandchildren might bask in the generational wealth you created and remind themselves what a Gigachad you were.

Do not ruin that by picking up an EMI for a flat in your 20s because some girl's father said he won't give her to you without a flat

Mexico paid $20 million for eight minutes in this movie. Then those eight minutes forced them to invent an entire cultural tradition.

Before Spectre, Mexico City had no Day of the Dead parade. The holiday was celebrated at home, at cemeteries, with family altars. Quiet, intimate, centuries old. Sam Mendes fabricated a massive street parade for the opening sequence, shot it with 1,500 extras in skeleton costumes across the Zócalo, and audiences worldwide assumed they were watching a real annual event.

Mexico's government had negotiated hard for the placement. Leaked Sony hack emails showed officials offered up to $20 million in tax incentives for four minutes of positive portrayal. Sony was drowning in a $300 million budget. The deal included script changes: the Bond girl had to be a Mexican actress, the villain could not be Mexican, and the city's modern skyline had to appear on screen.

Then the movie opened in 182 countries and tourists started booking flights to Mexico City for the parade.

The parade that did not exist.

Tourism authorities panicked. Visitors were arriving expecting the spectacle they saw in the film and finding nothing. So in October 2016, the government spent $500,000, hired 650 volunteers, built dozens of floats and giant skeleton marionettes, and staged the first real Día de los Muertos parade in Mexico City's history. 250,000 people showed up. They openly called it a "Spectre-style parade" in press materials.

Ten years later, the parade draws millions. Anthropologists call it the "pizza effect," where a cultural element gets exported, transformed abroad, and reimported as authentic. Mexico's most famous public celebration of its most sacred holiday was invented by a British director shooting a $300 million spy movie.

That tracking shot is doing more for Mexico City's economy every November than the $20 million they paid for it.

Absorbing light to reveal time.

The H. Moser & Cie. Vantablack Tourbillon strips everything back to the extreme. Its dial, crafted from Vantablack®, absorbs nearly all light, creating a void that amplifies the presence of the flying tourbillon.

Live in Exclusives. A ref. 1601/9 Datejust featuring a vivid lapis lazuli dial. Across white gold and platinum, only a handful of hardstone dial Datejusts were ever made in white precious metal. These few pieces have become a collecting category in themselves, highly sought-after for not just their rarity but also the inherent discretion of the metal. Differentiated by its natural pyrite veins, gold aperture surrounds, correct T Swiss T signature, matching white gold Jubilee bracelet, and exceptionally well-preserved state, this Datejust is an irreplicable proposition. https://t.co/nOWtAzy3om
