CJI Sanjiv Khanna is such a class act. And has been an incredible mentor to his clerks. One of his brightest, Shreyas Narla @shreyasnarla, works closely with me @mercatus.

Watch out for the bright young legal minds he mentions in this clip. 👇

🎙️ Miroslav Klose: “I stopped playing football because I no longer recognised it. Today, young players think about other things. As a child, I only thought about training and becoming someone in this sport that I always loved. At Lazio and in the national team, after each training session, I put myself in a bathtub full of ice to avoid injuries. But the young players on the team systematically refused.

When they saw me picking up the bags of balls to put them away at the end of training, they said to me 'But who tells you to do that?'.

At that moment, I said to myself: 'You're 20 years old and you can't help a 60-year-old worker?'

They care more about whether their boots go with their socks. That's why I said stop. The football I knew no longer exists.

Today's young players think first of cars, contracts with their sponsors, and their new boots. It is only after all these things that football comes. For them, their image is the most important thing. Whereas for me, all that mattered was football in its purest form.”

Are you tired of all the over-the-top action movies? Well, back in early 1994, the Indian audience felt the same way. But then, things changed, and HOW!

"Hum Aapke Hain Koun" turns 30 this year!

This remake, yes, a remake, changed Indian cinema forever! A thread🧵

"It took him 24 years & 18000 feet to find himself" - This was the tagline of the film "Lakshya" that released in 2004.

The film narrates the story of an aimless rich youngster who joins the Indian Army and discovers his true goal!

A thread 🧵

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

During the filming of the first Godfather movie, the mafia got awfully curious about what went on during filming. The mob actively followed the actors and actresses around and hovered around the sets, much to the chagrin of the actors. Marlon Brando in particular wasn’t too pleased.

At some point, Brando, Pacino, and Robert Duvall were driven off-set in a car when their driver spotted a suspicious-looking cast of characters traveling at the same speed and distance, eyeing them.

Brando said he had had enough of “those mob bastards,” rolled down the car window, pulled down his pants all the way, and mooned them! Duvall later said of the event that his famous co-star pulled his pants down just a little too much.

Not deterred, the mob sent real-life mafia enforcer, wrestler and doorman Lenny Montana to the movie set, to play the part of Luca Brasi.

Montana was a major Brando fan, as were many of the mafia guys themselves who had come to respect the wild star and his reckless ways. So in awe of his famous co-star was Montana, that he bumbled his lines. He could barely perform at all.

Until Brando put Montana at ease, helping him shine and perform his part well. The big mobster turned actor was incredibly grateful, and suddenly the mafia was totally okay with their on-screen portrayal.

The highly anticipated  #CWCFinal today evokes vivid memories of the iconic 2003 clash. But the most thrilling clash between India and Australia dates back to a 1986 World Series game, because during that gripping match, a murder mystery was solved. Thread 1/20

In 1938, Adolf Hitler was utterly captivated by an Indian acrobatic rope dancer who he dubbed "The Jumping Devil." However, little is known about the iconoclastic teacher from Thalassery who taught "The Jumping Devil" his awe-inspiring circus tricks. This is our Kerala Story.1/23

Why do elite colleges pump students into the same five industries: law, medicine, tech, investing, and management consulting?

For answers, let’s turn to the philosopher René Girard.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video.

Well, I have good news.

Sardar Udham Singh once acted as an extra in the film 'The elephant boy'.

He also acted as an extra in the film 'The four feathers' - which was nominated for the Palme D'Or.

He split the money he received from the roles between the Ghadar party and the IRA.
