5,500 new buildings with 15+ floors in five years, but Mumbai’s Fire Brigade has just 36 stations against a requirement of 100. Activists allege @mybmc babus and politicians prioritised road concretisation and bridge demolition, but development sans capacity is #CIVIC_NEGLIGENCE.

Jack Ma’s 5 unconventional leadership habits:
1. Speak without notes- even when addressing packed auditoriums.
2. Repeat core stories- retell them, adapting them for every new audience.
3. Practise Tai Chi- a discipline he has maintained for over 30 years.
4. Entertain employees – perform songs, skits and magic at company events.
5. Pursue creative hobbies- took up watercolour painting during his years away from the spotlight.

As we grow older, what we want from life changes. The freedom and money we once craved gives way to comfort and peace of mind.

We spend our lives proving we don’t need anyone. “I’ll manage.” “Don’t bother.”
But there’s something called the Benjamin Franklin Effect: doing someone a favour can actually make us feel closer to them. So let your mother send the pickle. Let your father give you the money. Let your friend buy you the book.
People who love us just want to matter in our small moments. Let them. ❤️

China is putting scientists on giant screens in public places.
In India, our hoardings are dominated by politicians and film stars.
What we celebrate shapes what our children aspire to become. Why not put our scientists, teachers, doctors, innovators and nation-builders up there?

Kellogg’s came to India to change our breakfast habits with cornflakes. The opposite has happened. Today, Kellogg’s sells Upma.
Business lesson: Never underestimate the power of local taste.

It started as one demand.
It's turned into a bigger question about accountability.
Our team is following it across the southern states reporting for the public, about the public, as always.
Support the journalism that makes that possible.

A week ago, she couldn't afford her hotel room. A sports drink company were kind enough to pay her hotel bill.
Today, Maja Chwalińska is playing the French Open final.
Ranked 114 in the world, she had to qualify just to enter the tournament.
Nine wins later, she has earned more prize money than in her entire life career, with a minimum of $1.6 million.
A reminder that sometimes life can change in just one week.

A school invited an alumnus as Chief Guest, an expert on liquor and not much else.
His words of wisdom “In life, face your problems like Napoleon, walk confidently like Johnny Walker, and sing your heart out like a Bagpiper. Do that, and the world will give you a Royal Salute. Otherwise, you'll end up an Old Monk with a Black Label attached to your name!”
The audience erupted in applause. A truly spirited speech! 🍺 😄
