1. The Stories That Indians Love To Tell
Suhel Seth
The stories told by Indians revolve around
1. Who they know
2. Family Pedigree
3. Children
Some stories have their own flavor in places around India
The stories in Mumbai revolve around Goons.
Stories in Delhi revolve around big influence (political affiliation)
Stories in Calcutta are nostalgic in nature. Bengalis go back in time to 1827.
When one has to narrate a story this is how it should be
1. The story teller should tell a story as if he himself was listening to it. First and foremost whole narrative should be interesting to the teller. There is a good chance that people will like it if you fall in love with the story (Rule of Thumb).
2. Defined beginning and memorable endings. People always think of the ending.
Humble beginning and rich endings have always made the cut
3. Stories must be told with a panache (Simple/Crisp).
4. Great Narrative involve and engage the reader.
5. Everything in life revolves around (Patience+Passion). Patience+Passion does the trick. This has been the innate craft of great story tellers. Indians are in a perpetual state of rush. They live planning the future and forget the present. When they do reach the future it is nothing but a point in time. The present was never lived. Things important needs due precedence.
6. Stories should allow you to evolve and interpret life.
7. Write and speak as if you were involving the audience (Multiple linear interpretations). Equality of cerebral competence and character.
8. Story telling should stoke cerebral hunger.
9. Ultimately story telling is what you want to feel at the end of the story (Most Important Part of Story Telling).
10. In order to spin a great yarn in story telling tell your stories intelligently.
(Bull Shitting is an important pillar in great story telling).
Nutshell: Story telling has disastrous consequences when it will change behavior/identity.
Education is confused with knowledge. Knowledge is a never ending process.
2. Stalin
Stephen Kotkin on the dictator
I would have never guessed if it was not for Stephen Kotkin to enlighten me on the Greatest Evil Atheist known to man Stalin.
Stalin and Lenin together have killed 20 million people.
I wonder what makes people who go to Divinity School an atheist. I guess one eventually comes to terms with Religion (Too good to be true).
5. Crony, Who Me ? Can business change its bad habits.

Crony Capitalism: Big Business and Government in Bed.
1. System rigged by the 1 % Wealth Generators.
2. Business is too close to politics.
3. Politics Merged with Business
Example: Lobbyist take money from Corporations - Lobbyist lobby for laws suiting the corporations. Bribes taken by Lobbyist to maximize wealth keep both happy.

Stalin and Lenin together have killed 20 million people.
Hitler comes down the rank in kills

Hitler and Stalin Relations
Russia was kept out of the 1938 Munich Pact.

Nutshell
One plays according to their own political need

With left wing/right wing politics one can easily come down to a conclusion
BAD WRITING IS MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN GOOD WRITING
1. One believes in whatever he believes in is because of his assumption/way of thinking.
2. Answer you think that would make sense and the change the complete world is Bull Shit.
3. There is no perfect right wing or a left wing opinion.
4. Right wing and Left wing opinion end up meeting together at the same point of view.
Nutshell
Work as if you live in early days of a better nation. There is no right thing out there.
