  1. #TED talk by Bill Gates: education is losing out to pensions in US state budgets ted.com/talks/bill_gat…
  2. @leehasnath Thankfully there is someone in Delhi to do just that.
  3. @leehasnath Great! A lot to do though - lots of opportunity here, which is a good change from the UK. Getting a bit hot - around 42C now.
  4. @leehasnath I live in Delhi now! So Finsbury people are a rare occurrence here. Am working on a start up, some freelancing and 85 Broads.
  5. @leehasnath Don't think it's as uncertain as 50/50 - expect Romney's chances to be less than Obama's. He is a bit of a bore after all.
  6. US election might be a close one, but my money is still on Obama. Bain Capital & Donald Trump make Romney too distant from the electorate.
  7. In an interview I read today, an Indian CEO said: "We don't want to grow very fast. A 20-30% growth is fine." Wow. Emerging markets!
  8. Evolution seems to have by-passed Ukrainian parliamentarians: MPs brawl in Ukraine parliament chamber bbc.in/JNYzPD
  9. Saw breathtaking movie called Kandahar about a woman's journey through Afghanistan to find her sister. Catch it if you can.
  10. Sanskrit is undergoing a revival among US teenagers. Who would have thought?! blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/…
  11. Does anybody have any ideas for good Sunday brunch places in Delhi other than Olive Beach?
  12. Why did TED take down Nick Hanauer's talk?! Interesting views - "middle class consumer is the real job creator, not the capitalist."
  13. @warikoo @85Broads Great event! Had good feedback. I've reported about it and shared Ankur's views here: 85broads.com/public/blogs/s…
  14. Here is the link where you don't have to log in: 85broads.com/public/blogs/s…
  15. For expert views on e-commerce see what @warikoo said to @85Broads: Starting & running an e-commerce business in India po.st/QMyLyJ
  16. Just got back from Delhi's first @85Broads event, led by charming and brilliant Groupon India CEO Ankur Warikoo @warikoo
  17. Gripping article on Anne Boleyn: witch, bitch, temptress, feminist gu.com/p/37egb/tw via @guardian
  18. I would like to volunteer for a women's charity in Delhi. Does anyone have any suggestions?
  19. Going to Mumbai on Thursday! Any travel, culture and restaurant tips much appreciated, as well as introductions to fun interesting people.
