THREAD:

Today is my work anniversary). September 16, 1996 was my first day at work.
I started out in PR, worked in media, managed feedback for organisations, did content for CDs, did live cricket commentary, made presentations, even managed to write a couple of books
I am a writer/editor today covering tech, music, cricket and a bit of books.

What have I learned? Well, just this:

When choosing a job or a project
Do not look at the brand
Do not look at the payment
Do not even look at the timelines
Look at the people you are working with.
The right people make
Everything worth it.
In other words, as they famously say
"don't choose a job, choose a boss."
At the end of the day, nothing matters more.
The right people
Are worth more than millions in the bank
More than that swank car
More than reserved hotel suites
More than office parties and off sites
More than the corner office
Whenever possible
Choose to do
What you love
With the people you love.

That's it really.

THREAD: CRICKET'S MOST ADORABLE PRANK

When England toured the West Indies in 1981, the assistant manager of the team was Ken Barrington (seated, extreme right). A legendary batsman in his own right, Barrington was also extremely popular and a fount of help and knowledge. Image
He was also extremely good-natured and without any airs, ready to laugh at himself. This often made him the target of a number of good-natured pranks. And perhaps the greatest of these took place on this tour. Geoffrey Boycott in "In the Fast Lane" describes it thus: Image
"The phone rang at the team dinner and Geoff Miller answered It. ‘Call for you, Colonel, from Battoo Brothers...’ Ken Barrington, the long-suffering assistant team manager, wondered vaguely what the newest problem could be with the team’s transport arrangements. Image

MINI-THREAD: THE GREATEST COMPLIMENT PAID TO BISHAN SINGH BEDI

One can say a lot about Bishan Singh Bedi. He possessed the smoothest action ever. He was India’s highest wicket taker. He was probably one of the greatest spinners of all time.
But the best compliment to the man? Image
It comes from one of India’s finest writers and historians, Ramachandra Guha. An award winning author, he was part of member of the Committee of Administrators appointed by the Supreme Court of India to oversee reforms in the BCCI in 2017. And he summed up Bedi like no one did. Image
In his book, The Commonwealth of Cricket, Guha wrote that there were four kinds of cricket superstars in India:

1. Crooks who consort with and pimp for bigger non-cricket-playing crooks.
2. Those who are willing and keen to practise conflict of interest explicitly. Image

MINI-THREAD: THE BRAVEST SPEECH EVER?

History is packed with brave speeches by great men, from Mark Anthony to Martin Luther King.
Bit nothing beats Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt's speech on October 14, 1912.
After being shot, saving his assassin, and with a bullet in his chest. Image
Roosevelt, who has been US President from 1901-09, was campaigning for Presidency in Milwaukee, for the Progressive Party, also called The Bull Moose Party. As he waved to the crowd from his car, a shot rang out. Roosevelt collapsed, having been hit by John Schrank. Image
As Roosevelt staggered, the crowd converged on Schrank, beating him up. "Kill him!" many shouted. And then a calm voice was heard:

“Don’t hurt him. Bring him here. I want to see him.”

It was Roosevelt. A surprised and relieve crowd brought Schrank to the man he had shot. Image

THREAD: WHEN INDIA SHOCKED GARY SOBERS, THANKS TO 'SARDEE MAN'

Imagine shocking a legendary player so much that he actually checks the rules?
Well, that's what India did to Sir Garry Sobers in 1971.
Thanks mainly to one man.
No, not Sunny Bhai.
Sardee Man.
Dilip Sardesai. Image
India came to the West Indies in 1971 with very little hope. They had never won a Test agains the Windies, and lost 10 of the last 13. Although short of bowlers, the West Indies were still expected to easily beat an Indian team with a new captain, Ajit Wadekar. Image
Everything seemed to be going to script in the first Test at Kingston. After the first day was lost to rain, the Indian top order collapsed, to leave them 75-5.
And then someone changed the script.
The man who would be known as Sardee Man in the coming days. Image

THREAD: REMEMBERING HIROSHIMA

On August 6, 1945, an atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. It was the first time such a bomb was dropped on a human population. Some say it was done to end the World War. Some said it sent a signal to the USSR. This is what happened that day. Image
World War II was drawing to an end. Germany had surrendered. The Japanese were all but defeated, but fought on, refusing to surrender because of the US' insistence on 'unconditional surrender' which they saw as implying the removal of their emperor (he was considered a God). Image
The US had been working on a 'super bomb' after hearing that Germany was working on one too. Although Germany had given up its plans, the US continued. It decided to use it in Japan - to "save American lives" in the War and also to show USSR that the US had a great weapon! Image

THREAD: THE MOST POWERFUL BOMB EVER

There is renewed interest in atom bombs, thanks to "Oppenheimer." While the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were devastating, the most powerful bomb ever was 1500 times more powerful than both of them together.
A hydrogen bomb.
The Tsar Bomba Image
Officially known as the RDS220, the Tsar Bomba (In Russian, "King of Bombs") was a thermonuclear aerial bomb, and is said to be the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created. It was so powerful that it could not even be tested at its full capacity, for fear of what would happen! Image
A key person in the development of the Tsar Bomba was Russian scientist, Andrei Sakharov, who some call the USSR equivalent of Oppenheimer . The bomb was developed at the height of the Cold War with the US and the USSR each trying to showcase their superiority in the arms race Image
