@bandrabuzz Zenzi. Iconic and greatly missed

@johnrennieshort @historywjackson It's now on my Xmas list! Trust all well John

@bandrabuzz My money's on St Stanislaus on Hill Road

@malpani I have several colleagues, bright young Indian women, who are indeed better than they think they are!

@jonsonbill You still had to call a landline number

@surajchande @malpani Why would you go to Japan to eat Indian food!

[Mark Hannant @mark_hannant]

@malpani @ashutoshdhingra Don't then. Embrace the local culture. What's the point of travel if it doesn't broaden the mind. A bit of sushi at Tsukiji won't harm you.

@tajmahalfoxtrot Love this! Fond memories

[Mark Hannant @mark_hannant]

@Baddiel While you're in Bandra I recommend a beer at Toto's, a wonderful 'garage pub', and street food at Elco on Hill Road and a morning run/walk at Joggers park to see off the hangover! Enjoy

@malpani I am not. I have the least number of qualifications of all my team. Perhaps some relevant experience.

I did an MBO rather than an MBA. Learnt a ton of useful (sometimes painful) lessons.

[Mark Hannant @mark_hannant]

@bandrabuzz Nice. Round the corner from my old home on St Cyril Road.

@ruthmackenzie @angeliquekidjo @adelaidefest Love this. I interviewed @angeliquekidjo early in my career and have seen her play in Nottingham, London, Vancouver and most recently Mumbai.

I interviewed you too, Ruth when you ran Nottingham Playhouse.

@malpani @TheHARDSKILLS is training folks in critical thinking at scale.

@RoadsOfMumbai Bombay Scottish School Mahim. My kids enjoyed JKG to 10 Standard. I know it well. And loved the annual Christmas convert on the playing fields.

@shailjas @airindia @RNTata2000 For all the new livery and aircraft orders (and favourable PR in the Indian press) it is going to take a generation to change the culture at @airindia. I choose @IndiGo6E for internal flights and anyone-but-Air India for international.

@rickyaross It's been a great year. Enjoyed your look back to conversations with Emmylou, Steve Earle and Kacey Musgraves. Will schedule some time for this too. Merry Christmas

@kirankandade Deserved!

@malpani As a parent, who chose to send his children to a traditional school (ICSE) and was very happy with the outcome, I never felt threatened by homeschoolers. Home should provide a complementary set of experiences and lessons to school. Not an alternative.

@johnrennieshort The Maximum City, no less!

[Mark Hannant @mark_hannant]

@malpani You'll notice that no one had bothered to prepare any content - 'star man Starc', 'Cometh the hour Cummins the man', 'Maxwell's maximum' etc - just in case Australia went and won it. We had to sit through eulogies to the losers!
