His legacy of treating people, everyone, with respect and dignity manifested in how people felt taken care of in his orbit. The honour of a life well lived. Rest in peace, Sir #RatanTata (4/4)

'Hero' is a heavy, responsibility laden term - Known just as often as the fallen as they are known to soar. For me, they are few and far between. Those who lead by example (and most of the time not intentionally) (1/n)

[Divyani Diddi @ddiddi]

This loss seems personal, of having lost someone who shaped our world (truly building the space we occupy), and unlike most others of the same fame, existed the same time as us (3/n)

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

"It is with a profound sense of loss that we bid farewell to Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, a truly uncommon leader whose immeasurable contributions have shaped not only the Tata Group but also the very fabric of our nation. For the Tata Group, Mr. Tata was more than a chairperson. To me, he was a mentor, guide and friend. He inspired by example. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation, the Tata Group under his stewardship expanded its global footprint while always remaining true to its moral compass. Mr. Tata's dedication to philanthropy and the development of society has touched the lives of millions. From education to healthcare, his initiatives have left a deep-rooted mark that will benefit generations to come. Reinforcing all of this work was Mr. Tata's genuine humility in every individual interaction. On behalf of the entire Tata family, I extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we strive to uphold the principles he so passionately championed," posts Tata Group.

Any leads for #Bahraich , UP ?

Looking for about 12K BIODEGRADABLE disposable food containers with 3-4 compartments to distribute ready lunch to security forces on election day. All the available options are too expensive to be viable. Really don't want to consume so much plastic. Any leads are appreciable.

A huge loss for psychology and economics - Daniel Kahneman truly brought the two fields together with Tversky and their contributions to behavioral economics will resonate for eons to come

Over 12 years ago, in a dusty Srinagar library I found a book to occupy an afternoon.. much like the blue book that #HenrySugar found. I forgot the name, the author and only remembered, in vivid detail, the story.. Imagine finding that lost gem online. Only Wes Anderson.

[Netflix @netflix]

Sir Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel, Richard Ayoade and Rupert Friend star in Wes Anderson's collection of shorts.

THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR, THE SWAN, THE RAT CATCHER and POISON are all now streaming!
