Our Own homegrown swadesi
Many years back, almost 15 yrs, I picked my first copy of The Lonely Planet Guide to India which opened the vision for my own country the way I had never seen it. And to acknowledge that, in the first few scores of pages somewhere describing the Hows an Whats and Whichs, the authors pointed out that more Indians were now using LP to explore their own country.
It kinda stung me as to why can't I use a foreign guide to learn more about my own country. The truth was that not too many Indians were ... more

Tim Wigmore: The story of Test cricket

Q: How did Test cricket get its five-day format and its reputation as a serious test of character?

Originally a marketing slogan that gradually acquired meaning, the five-day format emerged from varied scheduling and evolving competitive norms, and over time it became associated with resilience, endurance, and strategic depth, which helped elevate Test cricket into a true test of character for players.

Tim Wigmore: The story of Test cricket

Q: Tell us about the Ashes and how the rivalry started.

The Ashes began from a satirical obituary published after a poor performance in the 1882 England vs. Australia match at the Oval, which led to a commemorative urn and a renewed, almost mythical, rivalry that has endured for well over a century. The story underscores how cultural storytelling can crystallize into lasting tradition in sport.

Sir John Kay on why almost everything we are told about business is wrong

Q: What was the first time in your illustrious career when you started scratching your head and said, something that I see happening in the real world is nothing close to what I was taught as a student?

My understanding of what businesses actually aim for diverged from economic theory as I realized companies aren't maximizing profits but coping with uncertainty.
