An incognito good life
The measure of what makes a good life is quite subjective, but increasingly, the decision is being made on the basis of how that appears to the world. In the recent past, I have been making conscious trade-offs.
The Psychology of Money
This is a book I’d highly recommend to everyone. It’s less about the technicality of money or “get rich” ideas, and instead focuses on emotional aspects which affect our relationship with money, and our behaviour.
Ex-communities
In a few decades, the idea of community has changed. Not just from physical to digital, but also in terms of their character. What does it say about us?
Political Order and Political Decay
Francis Fukuyama picks up from where he left off in The Origins of Political Order. He adds three more dimensions of socioeconomic development – social mobilisation, idea legitimacy, and economic development to show state, law and democracy evolved to their current state, with different countries following different paths. The book ends with a commentary on political decay and the effect on democracy.
Ironhill
Ironhill is touted to be the biggest microbrewery in India. That’s probably its only claim to fame, since the beer and food are definitely nothing to write home about.
