Nowhere else will you find Indian families wanting to be "together" as intensely as on a flight where their seats are not booked together. They simply cannot be parted for two hours because the fabric holding the family will tear if they are stretched to different corners of…

The most surprising thing I learnt as an entrepreneur is that nothing can really stop you from trying something new, except your own expectations of success. It works something like this. The less you burden a new attempt or endeavor with the idea that “it has to succeed”,…

Recently I was at a restaurant, tucked away in a farm on the side of a hill. They served a welcome drink - a light, herby concoction that I had never had before. I asked the hostess about it, and she said it was made from Torch Ginger. She must have seen from my expression…

Of late I have been remembering one of my grandmother's friends who had come over from across the border in 1948. Her cooking, which was really my first introduction to her, was distinctive - with a minimalism and restraint that made it quite exotic. In my mind, I'd been…

“Will she leave the wall and come over to smell the flowers when everyone’s asleep tonight?” Things we think of, before we crash for the night 😀

3 Body Problem is a brilliant watch! Startlingly different from the usual sci-fi playbooks and tropes, despite the generic aliens-coming-to-earth premise. Its unpredictability and surprise is a rare experience, unlike most shows today that are templates of their genres.…

Red eye flight. Meetings since early morning. A very late lunch. All back to back. Finally I hit pause. With a cup of Earl Grey. Because now I need my moment in the sun :)

The beauty of the human condition is that however annoying someone might be in the moment, if you love them or even like them enough, you will miss them deeply when they are not around. The sadness though is that we get so caught up in immediate reactions, we often forget this…

Moments before dawn. A special time for the sky. When the clouds try on new colors for the day.

One of the most universal observations I've had in business is this - the less depth and vision someone has in and of their work, the more likely they are to bring in their ego to defend their shortcomings.

Drinking coffee from the Middle-east needs a specially acquired taste. And acquiring it takes courage. Because many of the coffees from say Turkey, UAE, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq are thick, almost grainy with an intensely earthy taste. But the way the coffee is brewed and served is…

I was reading 'exposes' of the recent Russian election on two of the most well known international media platforms from UK. Frankly, neither story was much of an expose. Almost everyone already assumes that it'd be a sham, a put-up job, especially after Navalny's death.…

The TikTok ban or sale story just gets curiouser and curiouser. The big issue is, of course, of possible government overreach vs possible espionage. But the underlying narratives are quite intriguing too. For example, the narrative supporting the Sale or Ban makes sure to bring…

The core problem with many marketers is that they chose to do marketing because they didn’t like maths and sciences, and not because they loved marketing. Because to be a really good marketer, essentially you need both Logic and Magic. You cannot evade a logical, scientific…

When you choose to play the L-S-D playlist to amp up your workout, but Labyrinth's slow bluesy "Jealous" starts playing right in the middle of your toughest lift. Sigh! Spotify sure has a weird sense of humor 😐🤦🏻‍♀️

The most interesting work we do at Dark Street Consulting usually involves three things - fascinating tech, brilliant people, and new challenges. One such project was Hexagon’s Digital Twin of the 16th century Qutub Shahi Tombs. There are digital twins who get by merely being…

One set of people in Asia will have low productivity today for having woken up early (or crazy early) to watch the Oscars; another set will be blithely unaware that the awards even happened. Not really a prediction, eh? 🤓 [Aside: why doesn't the Academy shift the awards night…

Writing is a low tech activity. But what it can achieve is extremely high tech. It can reprogram the minds of people and alter their behaviours.

When you visit the final abode of a 16th century King, the spirit of regality touches you too 🤩 What makes it even cooler is when you visit it to tell the story of a fascinating technology, that could be the best way to preserve it forever. Two of my absolutely favourite…
