Watched @PixarSoul. What a movie!
Entertaining, thought provoking, and uplifting. Image
22's character arc reminded me of a beautiful song by Bharatiyar

From:
நிற்பதுவே, நடப்பதுவே, பறப்பதுவே, நீங்களெல்லாம்
சொற்பனந் தானோ?-பல தோற்ற மயக்கங்களோ?

To:
காண்பதுவே உறுதிகண்டோம் காண்பதல்லால் உறுதில்லை
காண்பது சக்தியாம்-இந்தக் காட்சி நித்தியமாம். Image
Second thoughts. In #PixarSoul, 22's story is the Buddha story in reverse.
Inspired by this I watched Inside Out. Again, what a film!
How does Pixar do it, movie after movie?
I have watched this, but the movies seem to be at a different level.

Superb interview with Abhijit Banerjee. Lots of interesting ideas.
Abhijit Banerjee says, the UPA and also NDA were thinking of having a system where anyone could claim their benefits from govt irrespective of where they were, using Aadhaar. "That would have been wonderful to have that right now.... that would have saved a lot of misery." Image
"Even if an individual migrates or shifts temporarily to some other place, she or he will be entitled to benefits of all government schemes". Sonia Gandhi, after the 1st ten people got their #Aadhaar nos.

"Would have been wonderful"

A question that will be asked in the future analyst calls: "Do you have an Exit China Strategy?"
🇯🇵 "The extra budget, compiled to try to offset the devastating effects of the pandemic, includes 220 billion yen ($2 billion) for companies shifting production back to Japan and 23.5 billion yen for those seeking to move production to other countries."

India hasn’t reached this phase yet. However, it’s not a question of govt Vs private sector. It’s about how we strengthen our healthcare system capacity using a mix of govt, business, philanthropic, community, individual infra, readiness and contribution. It’s *we* not *they*.
Here's an example of how individuals can be prepared for some types of emergencies

The last thing we want now. Running down real, useful efforts to push some ideological agenda.
