The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller, who sets the vision, values and agenda of an entire generation to come. - Steve Jobs
This book looks at behavioural psychology to identify the golden principles of storytelling. https://t.co/1xAnr21Rrk

@Arsenal Last Ray'a hope!

@PoojaPrasanna4 @kavashivani Haha. The heights of wit the Dilliwallahs can summon!😊
Compare it to this small sample of Kannadiga wit. From... guess what?..11 centiries ago!-

@anusharavi10 Can't really understand the brouhaha. Another party, after winning elections brings in rank outsiders and hoists them on CM's chair there is not even a whisper. When INC asks a party CM, once an outsider, that too after a long tenure, to step down, we see so much hand wringing.

@anusharavi10 @waglenikhil Change of some moment this. Coming from South First, news no longer is in the domain of speculation/rumor. Hmm. Have always admired the incumbant CM's forthrightness n ideological steadfastness. The prospective too is hard working n loyal to the party. Fingers crossed. Hopeful.

@Chikisarkar @ElChaudhry @parul_sehgal @VivekShanbhag0 A great conversation!👌Between two of my favorites. Both are sensitive and articulate. Thanks!
"Whether reading or writing, anything to do with literature stirs a kind of frenzy in me. And I think that is essential; you must, in some sense, go mad with literature." ❤️

It is not an easy thing to alter the trajectory of your life. People have expectations on your behalf. You come to believe them yourself. https://t.co/QW9hNm5ahw

@parthpunter Dr Radhakrishnan in his midnight speech warned- "Our opportunities are great but let me warn you that when power outstrips ability, we will fall on evil days." Perhaps the framers of the constitution trusted in the wisdom and competence of future leaders and left too much leeway

@gautambhatia88 What a lovely account! Amazing that you stayed with the team through its Odyssey. Glad you did, or we would not have this mini-epic. So many stories in Your Arsenal! I had read #CharlesWatts' #RevolutionTheRiseofArtetasArsenal. This writeup provides the perfect backstory. Thx!👍

[Srinath Shiragalale @SrinathST]

@gautambhatia88 Enjoyed reading this. The power of sport! Esp of 'the beautiful game'. 'Complexities of feeling', as you aptly put it. Indeed. Recalling Galeano's descr of the Referee- "a pompous executioner...scapegoat for every error... cause of every misfortune..."😊

@gautambhatia88 During the 2000s Man United fandom had exploded. The ubiquitous red jersey..even in offices. The craze for the showmen stars Beckham n Ronaldo. Have followed Arsenal post the Amazon series #AllorNothingArsenal. Love the way they clawed their way up the summit. Arteta is classy👌

Because to say anything real was to say things that nobody wanted to know. Or if they wanted to know, they would not care in the right way. Or even understand. It was a private thing to be alive. He understood this now. https://t.co/j5tVq39arC

@udupendra Was thinking the same😊.

It’s more than the color of my skin that will keep me from the ranks of the privileged. Long used to serving rather than being served, I affect a deference in my bearing that’s hard for me to shed. https://t.co/moWuWYqw9q

It is a curious fact, that the five most populous countries in the world—China, India, the U.S, Indonesia, Pakistan—even if combined, would be unable to produce a team that could win the smallest cup in a top European league.#soccer https://t.co/XzWDIedJil

India stands at a breakpoint. How it navigates this transition will echo through generations. The middle class’s mutiny has begun – the question is whether it ends in rage or renaissance. https://t.co/xQXtKeMzXe

@theliverdoc @HarperCollinsIN Congrats Doc! Will read it for sure.

no matter wht any poet did, the poems would constitute screens on whch readers could project thr own desperate belief in the possibility of poetic experience, whatever that might be, or afford thm the opportunity to mourn its impossibility. https://t.co/N4bhBbc6m8
