@VishalDayama Extremely well written and showing the mirror to all of us!

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released 43 years ago today. One of Hollywood’s most popular films and most acclaimed sequels, the making of story is as huge as you’d expect.

1975 is remembered for Sholay. But another Dharmendra-Amitabh Bachchan starrer released #OnThisDay and is considered to be one of the finest comedy films of all time.

48 years ago, Chupke Chupke released. A thread (🧵)

@nimishdubey Very nice thread. I recall in one of the interviews he had mentioned that it's not the reflexes which failed him , but particularly with left arm swing (like Akram), he had troubles

Today’s time of extreme polarization, we need something that unites us.
Back in 1990, a TV program aired for the first time which tried to show that India is a rainbow with many colours.

We are talking about Surabhi.

A thread about the show. 👇

Name me a shot in any sport greater than this?! 👀

I feel bad for Silicon Valley Bank right now.

They have been the biggest capital partner to founders, employees, and investors over the last decade and they’re being completely turned on by all of them.

If SVB goes under it would be detrimental to the startup community

Songs in Bollywood movies inspired from elsewhere aren’t something unheard of. But a song created from three different songs almost 50 years ago that continues to charm us even today is quite a feat. A thread. 1/10

These childhood friends started the fantasy sports platform @Dream11 in 2008 but lost millions of starting capital in less than three years. Their company is now worth $8 billion. Here's how they did it. https://t.co/7jWv09oFxT (via @CNBCi)

U.S. taxpayers spent $15 million on research that led to a breakthrough discovery: a green battery the size of a fridge that held enough energy to power a house, and could be used for 30 years.

Then the Dept. of Energy gave the technology to China.

Boys are losing 10% a year to inflation. Men are losing 50% a month to stock market. Legends are losing 80% a week to cash burning startups. Ultra legends are losing 99% a day to cryptocurrency. This is the new economy.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

This has been the most glaring problem from day 1. Nothing of economic substance is being financed. Possible that could change at some point. But for now it’s as if, as Jon says, just banks doing business with other banks. Or as @ArthurB put put, DeFi isn’t exporting anything.

Turns out avocados were the real inflation hedge all along.

Parotta didn't take off until the late 1970s or early 1980s when it began to expand across the state till it gained celebrated status among the public in Kerala in the 1990s, thanks to the arrival of street hawkers. 3/16
