She went to see Marlene Dietrich singing on stage and loved Ingrid Bergman's theatre.

In 1979, she became the first Indian to perform with the Wren Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. Here's how she later recalled the experience in her own words:
"Around 1974, I went to London for my first overseas concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

When you look back at things, they become clearer than when they actually happened. Irrfan always said, "You have a tendency to support the underdog, and hence we are together."

Veer Kunwar Singh, one of the heroes of the 1857 Revolt, who at 80 years, led the rebellion in Bihar and Eastern UP. And gave one of the toughest fights ever to the British, constantly harassing them till his end.
Thread on his Jayanti today.
Thread on his Jayanti today.
Kunwar Singh belonged to the Ujjainiya Rajput clan, who are primarily found in Bihar- Eastern UP. They claim descent from Raja Bhoj, and in fact Bhojpur region gets it's name from this. Most of the Purbiya soldiers known for their martial skills were from this clan.
What is currently regarded as the Bhojpuri region is primarily Purvanchal or Eastern UP, and the Western part of Bihar, bordering Mithila and Magadha. This region of Bihar was primarily one single district Shahabad, that was bifurcated in 1972 into Bhojpur and Rohtas( Sasaram).

Owing to financial problems, Johnny had to leave school when he was in Class 7 and take up odd jobs. From selling pens and dancing on the streets of Mumbai to mimicking Bollywood actors, Johnny did it all.

How the legend #Rakeshjhunjhunwala started his journey. The #Story in his own words⤵️. The journey from 20 lacs to 2.5 crores. #RIP #Omshanti #Thread 🧵#Investing #Stockmarket #Stocks. 1/10
My father was also interested in #stocks. When I was a young child, he and his friends would drink in the evening & discuss about the #Stockmarket. I would listen to them and one day I asked him why do these prices fluctuate. (2/10)
He told me to check if there is a news item on Gwalior Rayon in the newspaper, and if there was Gwalior Rayon’s price would fluctuate the next day.
I found it very interesting & I got fascinated by #stocks, I self-taught myself. 3/10

Nobody saw what he saw. He did it anyways.
Later, when I graduated college, he ASKED if I wanted to take over the biz. I respectfully declined. “Dad, I want to prove myself against the sharpest guys on Wall St”

What is happiness? Read this from @RafaelNadal interview I Read and you will know why this man is special ❤️ .Nadal said on potentially surpassing Federer’s Grand Slam haul: “The thing is that my future happiness doesn’t depend on surpassing Federer.
This is the end of the story. I won’t find complete happiness by winning 20 or even 25 Grand Slams. Does it excite me? Of course, it excites me because this is what I do and I want to be as good as possible.
but so many good things have happened to me throughout all these years that all I can do is be grateful for life and the people that have helped me.” - What a #Legend !
I was always a big fan of @imVkohli the cricketer. Calmness on the crease and aggression on the field. But there was some point where I came across this very lengthy, candid interview of him with Graham Bensinger. It spanned nearly 1.5 hours. I watched the whole thing. (1/4)
He talked about his journey, what cricket meant to him, turning points in his life, struggles, failures, success, how he overcame various obstacles, power of self-belief, confidence, visualization- pretty much what any excelling sportsperson talks about in such interviews. (2/4)
But even among so many similarities, there was one difference. The difference in the way he put his ideas across. It was inspiring, inspiring in a special way. It just gave such a great insight into the mindset of a legend. It was beyond just cricket. (3/4)

When I moved to NY in the late 90s I often took the subway bc I didn’t have money to ride around in cabs and town cars all the time. So the 6 Train doubled as my limousine and Grand Central Station doubled as my garage.

In May 1999 I was fortunate to be hired by Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette for their Wall Street training program. This was very convenient because the DLJ offices were just two blocks from my garage.

During that siege, William saw the regimental color guard fall, hit by a Confederate bullet. William scrambled to catch the falling flag.
Wounded several times, William refused to let the regimental colors (the American flag) touch the ground or fall into enemy hands.
