Krishna Omkar (he/him)

A privilege to feature on @FinancialNews’s inaugural list of Rising Stars of European Finance with so many inspiring bright stars whose stories are inspiring and uplifting. I am the sum of the labours of countless mentors, role models, and colleagues — this is for them.

“Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them along the way, in that enchanted place at the top of the forest, a little Bear will always be waiting.”

Elle Woods flipping that courtroom in Legally Blonde (2001), the perm detail clicking and Chutney unraveling in seconds, lowkey one of the most satisfying mic-drop moments.

Waiting for a scheduled phone call

Stephen Sondheim had one request for tick, tick BOOM! director Lin-Manuel Miranda—to record his own voicemail for the film’s ending. The voice heard in the final scene is Sondheim himself, delivering his last message to Andrew Garfield’s Jonathan Larson.

No one: The UK since the 1st of January:

A picture of Cambridge every day since 2010. (No 5000) Tuesday 5th December 2023. So here it is - my final picture of uninterrupted daily photographs of Cambridge - 5,000 consecutive posts over 13 years. I’m sure you’ll forgive the fact that it wasn’t taken today but a week ago today when the full moon eased itself between the turrets of an illuminated King’s College Chapel. I knew the moment I pressed the shutter that I wanted it to be the last photograph of my daily pictures not just because this frame is undoubtedly the most recognisable view in Cambridge but because for me the full moon symbolises a moment of release and completion and a time to sit in the fullness of life and feel grateful for my blessings. The full moon is also associated with madness, of which I must have had a portion to have stuck with this for so long! I’d like to thank you all for your likes, comments and stories along the way - you have made A Cambridge Diary a heartwarming community and a place to share memories with Cambridge folk both from the town and the university. Most of all I’d like to thank everyone who has appeared in my pictures over the past thirteen years: the bikers, bowlers and buskers; the carpenters, choristers, clothiers and constables; the dancers, diners and dog-walkers; the entertainers and extras; the gardeners and graduates; the kayakers; the lecturers and lingerie models; the painters, parents, pensioners, porters, praelectors, proctors, professors and punters; the readers, revellers, rowers and runners; the scaffolders, scullers, singers, skateboarders, soldiers, stonemasons, strollers, students and swimmers; the tourists and touts; the walkers and workers. I’d also like to thank the cats, dogs, ducks, rabbits, squirrels and swans, and Queen Elizabeth I and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. To you all, my sincere thanks. Whilst this is my final daily picture it doesn’t mean the end of A Cambridge Diary as I’ll still be posting my pictures from five and ten years ago and I’m sure there will be the occasional new picture popping up now and then - just not every day. Oh, and I still have to walk home don’t I? Love to all Martin

For all the advances in filmmaking, this Citizen Kane (1941) shot still feels untouchable.

Edvard Munch, The Day After

Paul Cornoyer, Christmas in Madison Square Park

Nearly 30 years later and the CGI still holds up. That score? On another level.

Yes, we absolutely can push our meeting to sometime after the new year, or mid-March, or 2027, or never

After he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus wrote a letter of thanks to his favorite childhood teacher, whom he'd never forgotten. It's beautiful.

Bade Bade Deshon Mein, Aisi Chhoti Chhoti Baatein Hoti Rehti Hain, Senorita! Thrilled to unveil the bronze statue of Raj & Simran at London’s Leicester Square today, celebrating 30 years of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ)! Incredibly delighted that DDLJ is the first Indian film to be honoured with a statue in the Scenes in the Square trail. A big thank you to everyone in the UK for making this possible. Come meet Raj & Simran if and when you are in London… we would love to see you make more memories with DDLJ… @itsKajolD #AdityaChopra #AkshayeWidhani @yrf #HeartOfLondonBusinessAlliance #30YearsOfDDLJ #DDLJInLondon

Tom Stoppard’s magic was present in everything he wrote but he was also the kindest, most supportive, most generous, man. With Pinter you always knew you were in the presence of genius but with Tom you somehow felt you might participate in it too. Et in Arcadia est.

Someone just asked me if I was “ready for Christmas.” It is the 24th of November. I'm not even ready for this afternoon.

We have lost too many people around this time of year to not say it: reach out to those you haven’t heard from in a while, ask them how they are really doing, grab a coffee a walk or a hike. Chances are, someone you know is in despair. It can make a difference.

Backstory: In 2017, Google’s burger emoji caused a stir by placing the cheese UNDER the patty. This sparked a hilarious and intense internet debate about the "correct" burger order. @sundarpichai joked he’d drop everything to fix it—if everyone could agree on the right way. They did, and Android quickly patched it. It looks like Gemini 3.0 follows the correct order now. 👇

POV: you're trying to wash your hands at a fancy restaurant

@CompaniesHouse Thank you. But how are you managing this against the 18th November deadline?

.@CompaniesHouse Hello—I am trying to verify my identity as a director. Don’t have a UK biometric passport. The GOV.UK app won’t read my BRP. Tried to get post office letter via OneLogin but keep getting an error. OneLogin redirected me to CH. Can you help?
