Seeking a second innings
After nearly 44 years, I leave the corporate life, where I worked with companies that touched billions of lives across the globe— HUL, Colgate and Nestlé. Of these, 26 years were spent working with Nestlé across five markets, finally serving as the chairman and managing director of Nestlé India for 10 years. This transition into retirement marks a significant moment in my life, and I firmly believe it is essential to grace out on one's own terms, embracing the next innings with intention and purpose.

Cerebral cues
In the late 1800s, Italian physiologist Angelo Mosso made a curious observation while studying a patient with a skull defect that left part of the brain exposed. He noticed that when the patient became angry, the exposed area visibly swelled with blood. This led Mosso to explore the idea that changes in cerebral blood flow could reflect mental activity.

Space for short stories not shrinking
It is a great time for translated works in India. After Tomb of Sand by writer-translator duo Geetanjali Shree and Daisy Rockwell won the International Booker Prize in 2022, it was the turn of the Kannada writer Banu Mushtaq's Heart Lamp to win the prize in 2025. Deepa Bhasthi translated into English Mushtaq's collection of 12 short stories she wrote in Kannada between 1990 and 2023.

The 11th nerve
The 11th cranial nerve, or the accessory nerve, is a fascinating component of our neural orchestra. Imagine it as the unsung hero, the crucial control cable specifically designed to empower two wonderfully expressive movements: shrugging your shoulders (perfect for feigning ignorance or expressing exasperation), and turning your head away from your shoulder (excellent for avoiding awkward eye contact or perfecting that dramatic exit).

A bridge too square
Rivers don't bend like Beckham. Nor do roads. Both are designed for movement—one for water, the other for vehicles. They meander in slow, gentle curves; no sharp cuts.
