We do love the fairytale-look at the movie "Pretty Woman". Did you know the hotel featured in the movie has a $10,000 a night package to get the movie experience?

When you give something unselfishly, it always comes back to you one thousand fold. I loved this.

In response to "Paul Newman And Scott"

Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.

Thank you for sharing this, Sindbad. I don't do movies and didn't know Tom Hardy from a hole in the wall. Now I know someone I can respect.

Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.

In response to "Melinda Gates"

I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.

Nice review! I recall reading The Alchemist at some point, but it's been years and years.

T 20 World Cup

*_On Sunday, India won the World Cup, but the bigger winner was the "Economy"_*.

*_In just 30 days of cricket, something extraordinary happened:_*

1). 22 lakh people, filled stadiums.
2). ₹500+ crore, was generated from ticket sales.
3). 8 – 10 lakh hotel room nights, were booked across host cities.
4). Airlines sold nearly 3 – 4 lakh additional flight tickets.
5). Merchandise sales exploded.
6). ⁠If only 15% of fans bought jerseys, that means 30 lakh jerseys were sold.
7). Add caps, flags, face paint and souvenirs - the fan merchandise economy, likely crossed ₹300 – 400 crore.
8). Broadcasters sold advt slots at ₹25 – 30 lakh for 10 seconds, during prime matches.
9). Total media and sponsorship value? Likely ₹7000+ crore.
10). And then come the invisible winners.
- (a) Street vendors selling whistles.
- (b) Taxi drivers doing extra trips.
- (c) Restaurants packed with fans.
- (d) Security staff.
- (e) Event managers.
- (f) Ground workers.
11). Thousands of livelihoods activated, just because *_one tournament happened_*.
12). A cricket match lasts 240 minutes, but the economic ripple, lasts 240 days.

*_Sport is not just entertainment._*
It is *_"Attention"_* at a different scale.
And wherever *_"Attention"_* goes, *_Commerce_* follows.
- It is tourism.
- It is commerce.
-'It is employment.
-'It is nation branding.

Sometimes a stadium is not just a stadium - it is a ₹10,000 crore marketplace, under floodlights.
*_And last Sunday,_* that marketplace, was completely sold out.
What other *_Industry (ies)_*, can generate this kind of economic ripple, in just 30 days?

Cheers.
😀
