Ramu Damodaran posted this anecdote about Dr. Manmohan Singh in a St. Stephen’s College Alumni Whatsapp Group. With Ramu’s permission I am posting it here “My first meeting with Dr MMS was in July ‘91, the day I joined Prime Minister Narasimha Rao’s office. The devaluations of the rupee had taken place a few days earlier. He came to the PM’s Race Course Road office and walked straight into his room from the car. On the way out he detoured to come to my room. He had a small envelope in his hand which he gave me saying “please make sure this is credited to PM’s Relief Fund.” I opened the envelope after he left to find a cheque for a huge amount I cannot now precisely remember . With it a note saying “Representing the difference in rupee value of my assets abroad consequent upon devaluation.”” There are huge lessons in this story for all founders, start ups, investors, managers, business leaders and others around integrity, probity, good governance, resolving conflict of interest, not profiting from inside information etc. etc. Thank you Dr. Manmohan Singh. Thank you Ramu_Damodaran for this story. @Ramu_Damodaran

A PIA flight left Toronto for Karachi 2 hours and 56 minutes earlier than scheduled, leaving all passengers behind. At first, when someone shared the post, we considered it fake, but the flight details confirm the story. The traveler was right: What kind of airline does that?😂

The 𝕏 algorithm assumes that if you interact with content, you want to see more of that content. One of the strongest signals is if you forward 𝕏 posts to friends, it assumes you like that content a lot, because it takes effort to forward. Unfortunately, if the actual reason you forwarded the content to friends was because you were outraged by it, we are currently not smart enough to realize that.
