Naseeruddin Shah once said “Satish is master of improvisation. There are very few actors who can improvise so much, so quickly.”
2 decades before Sarabhai, he was the most popular actor on Indian television. He portrayed 60+ characters ‘Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi’.
#RIP Satish Shah.
Sky cricket’s product is exceptional. You can say what you want about the Free To Air debate but you cannot argue that the package produced, the pundits used and the analysis they offer is not the best in all of sport. A top tier team.
If you're having a bad day just remember:
A guy flew from Chicago to Omaha.
Lined up at 3am.
Sprinted the arena to ask one question of the best investor in history about a hotdog acquisition that was not made by Berkshire Hathaway but rather a PE firm called Berkshire Partners.
Most people don’t respect momentum. They treat it like a nice-to-have instead of what it really is: the single most powerful force in execution.
Momentum doesn’t just make things easier. It changes the game. It turns hard problems into solvable ones. It makes good ideas spread faster. It removes friction, attracts talent, and creates its own gravity. When you have momentum, people take you more seriously. Doors open that would have stayed shut. The work that used to feel impossible starts to feel inevitable.
But momentum is fragile. It takes months to build and seconds to lose. A bad decision. A slow response. A few weeks of hesitation. Suddenly, everything that was flowing starts to stall. The compounding effect reverses. The energy fades. And once momentum is gone, getting it back is ten times harder.
The top 1% understand this. When they gain momentum, they move like their life depends on it. They don’t stop to admire their progress. They don’t slow down for comfort. They press harder. They know momentum isn’t something you manage, it’s something you ride. The second you ease up, it starts slipping away.
The first step is recognizing momentum when you have it. Most people don’t. They waste it. They assume it will last. The second step is pushing even harder when things are working. The best don’t relax when they win. They double down. The third step is cutting anything that slows you down. Bureaucracy, hesitation, unnecessary debates. Anything that adds drag must go.
Momentum is either working for you or against you. The ones who protect it get further, faster. The ones who don’t spend their lives wondering where it went.
