How can I invest in Skyroot? Rather than swiggy zomato I would love to back Skyroot

Anju Mahendroo dated the best men of her time - Sir Garfield Sobers & Rajesh Khanna. Her - straight from the heart tweets - today, are quite touching.

A country of 525,000 people held both World Cup finalists for the full 90 minutes. Spain got a 0-0 draw. Argentina needed extra time to survive. And the way Cape Verde built this team is the smartest talent arbitrage in international football. More Cape Verdeans live abroad than on the islands. Decades of emigration created large communities in Lisbon, Rotterdam, and Paris, and those communities sent their kids into Europe's best football academies. Most of those kids got elite training and still never cracked the Portugal or Netherlands senior squads. Under FIFA's eligibility rules, one Cape Verdean grandparent qualifies you for the islands. The federation spent a decade working that pipeline, capping players Europe trained but was never going to pick. The result debuted at this World Cup and drew Spain 0-0, with goalkeeper Vozinha making seven saves in the country's first ever World Cup match. Then 2-2 with Uruguay. Then 0-0 with Saudi Arabia to become the smallest nation ever to reach the knockout stage. Then extra time against Argentina before going out 3-2. The islands are roughly the size of Rhode Island. No fully professional league. Spain and Argentina have 94 million people between them. Cape Verde has 525,000, and for 90 minutes at a time, that was enough.

In 1994, Jean-Claude Van Damme was doing 10 grams of cocaine a day. That same year he released Timecop, a $102 million hit that is still the biggest of his career. Peak flexibility and peak addiction, on camera at the same time. The money arc is steep even by Hollywood standards. He made $25,000 for Bloodsport in 1988. Six years later, Capcom paid him $8 million for Street Fighter. The habit consumed $10,000 a week of it. The Street Fighter director said Van Damme kept vanishing from set, so they rewrote scenes on the fly to shoot around him. The studio hired a handler to keep him on track. The handler turned out to be a worse influence than the drugs. By 1998 he was straight-to-video. Then came the part nobody talks about: rehab lasted one week. He walked out, quit 10 grams a day cold turkey, and replaced the cocaine with the same training that built the kicks, five years of which was ballet, the discipline he called harder than any sport he ever tried. The proof arrived in 2013. At 53, he stood on the wing mirrors of two Volvo trucks reversing at 25 km/h down a Spanish runway and dropped into a full split. Three days of rehearsal for the trucks. The split itself took one take.

Honestly what can he tell them? He does not have a century at Lords. Yastika does. Even Agarkar has a century at Lords. C'mon man.

I can’t think of a single thing Belgium is known for besides their waffles

Belgium used black slaves in the Congo until 1960.

So much chatter about index rebalance this week. In the words of an old colleague, “many [candidate] portfolio managers can talk a great game about index rebal, but very few can do it well” (I know you are reading this). A short 🧵 1/

Everyone thinks Elon is the richest man in history. Genghis Khan controlled the equivalent of $120 trillion. Elon has $1.2 trillion. It’s not even close.
