In Indian films till 90s, most rich people were shown as industrialists, who had factories (manufacturing what?) and textile mill owners.

[Román @Zmei_Hhsss]

when Russians started making (cheap) gangster TV shows in the 90s, no one understood capitalism, so anytime they wanted to show a rich guy with an office, they just said "he's a businessman," never specifying what he did, just putting some papers on his desk and a computer.

@CafeEconomics Trivia question - In the first few pages of your book, there is a mention of S V Ketkar, who created first Marathi encyclopedia.

Over the weekend, we visited his memorial in Pune. (Visited is a bit of a stretch. We were walking past it, and paused to read the poem on him displayed there.)

Do you know where it is located?

Running a business in India till 80s - "It was no surprise that companies needed the help of a battalion of lobbyists who knew their way through this maze, and who could bribe their way past the multiple regulatory hurdles."

@CafeEconomics's excellent book painstakingly documents the economic ideas over last a century and half.

When people say Diwali should be a week long holiday in India, they mean, they should have such long holiday, while service and entertainment industry should be open during this period for their comfort.

I tell my name and they still write Shrikant.

I provide a document with my name written, and they ask if my name is Shrikant.

The audacity of the govt to threaten citizens with 3 months imprisonment for an expired pollution certificate while forcing us to breathe 400 AQI air everyday.

[Shashikant Kore @kshashi]

@quatrainman Abhijeet Kunte (India's 4th GM), Abhimanyu Puranik, and Aditya Samant are the names that come to mind.

Google search adds Harshit Raja and Akshayraj Kore (!) to this list.

I don't want to jinx by naming upcoming talent, but, Pune should add another 5 GMs by the turn of decade.

The board of Indian chess - the board of 100 GMs is complete! :) Thank you @vishy64theking for inspiring an entire nation! It took us close to 40 years to achieve this milestone!

The next 100 is going to be way faster! :)

दोन दिवसांपूर्वी एका कार्यक्रमात हे नाट्य पद राहुल जी यांनी सादर केलेलं ऐकलं, आणि त्यानंतर वेगवेगळ्या गायकांच्या आवाजात ऐकायचा सपाटा लावला.

त्यांच्याच आवाजात इथे ऐका -

@richapintoi @sanjayhTOI Was it बोलावा विठ्ठल or कानडा राजा for the finale?

पुण्यात आता गल्ली बोळात देखील दिवाळी पहाटचे कार्यक्रम होत आहेत, आणि हे सांस्कृतिक लोण मुंबईसह संपूर्ण महाराष्ट्रात पसरत आहे.

ही एक अत्यंत आनंदाची गोष्ट आहे आणि ती अशीच वृद्धिंगत होत राहो, हीच दिवाळीची सदिच्छा.
