In an episode that is a labour of love, @ajay_shah & I try to answer three questions: 1. WHY should we read? 2. How do we build a reading HABIT? 3. HOW does one actually read a book? Here's ep 120 of Everything is Everything: The Art of Reading:

Cool thread on the takeaways from our episode on reading, which is taking on a life of its own! (I love the mind-map at the end...)

Some of the most life-changing books I have read have been recommendations from Ajay and Amit. Reading is an important habit to build in life. Highly recommend that everyone watch this video. It will make you want to pick up a book right after. https://t.co/1iMuFldaq4

Writing biographies is solitary & hard — even when the subject is so interesting that he seems impossible! @narayani_basu joins me in episode 428 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss writing, friendship, hustling, ageing — & the life of KM Panikkar:

Four HOURS (!!!) of a conversation that weaved and wandered from writing, hustling, friendship, freelancing, history -- and KM Panikkar. Only @amitvarma could make this easy breezy: The Solitary Writer meets the Impossible Man. https://t.co/ODbEAkO6nL

Financial crises are an unavoidable part of modern economies — and all of us have skin in the game. Why do they happen? How do they unfold? What can we do? @ajay_shah & I take a deep dive in episode 119 of Everything is Everything:

Cricket isn’t just what happens across 22 yards. Great cricket writers always go beyond the boundary. @vijaylokapally joins me in ep 427 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss the joys & heartbreaks of a lifetime of writing about cricket — & much else:

Truly enjoyed this conversation @smudgal & @amitvarma. Witty, thoughtful, articulate, insightful both about music & the industry/ecosystem in which music is produced. Highly recommended. But WTH @spotifyindia?! You don't have the option of including names of Indian instruments??
She’s straddled the worlds of Hindustani classical & popular music, & is a legend in both spaces. Shubha Mudgal (@smudgal) joins me in episode 426 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss her life, her music & this changing world: https://t.co/QzzIw52M9D It's a classic. Listen!🙂

Men and women have always struggled to understand each other — never more so than in these complex, changing times. What can new forms of data reveal about what we really want? A lot! @ajay_shah & I dig deep in episode 118 of Everything is Everything:

Over the last few years, alternative data has given us great insights into our deep past — and our deep present. In ep 117 of Everything is Everything, @ajay_shah & I dig into what our genes tell us about our history — and our phones about our character:

Sometimes, the data just ain’t enough. What’s going on in Russia? (Or Karnataka, for that matter?) Can alternative data help? In ep 116 of Everything is Everything, @ajay_shah & I discuss what nighttime lights reveal -- & Ajay's latest work on Russia:
