The Coromandel Express accident is just horrifying. What else can you say about so much loss of life and on such familiar ground?

I thought it was just me, but this tragedy seems to have struck a chord deep down in everyone in India. And perhaps outside as well.

Amazing Indian “middle class”. TCS on international credit card spending has elicited more criticism than the obvious idiocy of demonetization.

Danny Myers, founder of Shake Shack (NYSE listed with $2bn valuation) has a GREAT definition of company culture:

Culture= Behaviors you celebrate - behaviors you tolerate

On Tim Ferriss Show, he said: "You can write whatever you want but people judge you by what you tolerate."

This is a timely interview as #Odisha announces plans to set up a metro in Bhubaneswar. Busses and better traffic management may be the solution, not a capital-intensive metro system. @Naveen_Odisha

Happy Birthday to Koraput!!

Happy Birthday to Koraput - the only one of Odisha's original 6 districts whose birthday is known with certainty!

When formed on this day in 1936 from Vizagapatam District, it comprised 3/5th the area of that district and one third of its total population
