day156 – Gutenberg

day155 – Virgin empire
I happened to watch a talk by Santhosh George Kulangara (media entrepreneur, India) about the entrepreneurial spirit, and he mentioned Richard Branson. There are more than 400 companies under Virgin Group, which means that even if he gave a whole day’s attention to a company he wouldn’t be able to go over all of them…

day148 – The meal
Just before the lockdown, I was flying from Mumbai to Bangalore, I saw the cabin crew serve meals to passengers. The meal was included in my ticket, so I was waiting for my turn. I overheard the cabin crew say the options were vegetable pulao and roti and chicken curry. In my mind, I decided…
