For our parents – Drs Roshan and Homi Dastur:
Happy 50th, Dearest Mum and Dad!
Thank you for always opening up possibilities. For giving us wings and teaching us to fly. For letting us find our paths. For keeping us real and grounded. For moulding our minds and our hearts. For looking out for us, even as we grow older.
We love you always,
Your three girls, and our families.
(Will add in more pictures from tonight’s celebrations later)

Gupta, 59, and his aides have uncovered more than 25,000 inventions, from the bicycle-mounted crop sprayer to the electric paintbrush that never needs to be dipped in a paint can.
Many of the cheap, simple ideas he spreads for free from one poor village to another with the inventor's blessing. Some he is working to bring to market, ensuring the innovator gets the credit and the profit that will spur others to create as well. Many ideas are simply documented in his database waiting for some investor to spot their potential. He routinely dispenses tiny grants, either from a government fund or his own web of organizations, to help poor innovators finish their projects."

Came across this blog post – Klout, Big Data and Opting Out by Fred McClimans via @gautamghosh and liked this quote, among other things: “There’s nothing in the dark that isn’t there when the lights are on.” Rod Serling. I tweeted it, and @rajeshlalwani responds:
Rajesh’s quote immediately made me think of Shakespeare and his monologue from As You Like It. How true it is centuries later, for Social Media, and in the context of the raging discussions around privacy and big data! All seven acts and seven ages, as described by Shakespeare collide at such a fast pace on multiple stages. We’re visible to invisible audiences. We’re being edited by invisible algorithms.
And we are exposed.
