Through October, we were shocked, shocked I say, to see all these people watch free sports. I mean, we were told that streaming free sports is a BAAAAD idea — fans WANT to pay another subscription fee because the only way to show REAL support for a sports team is via their wallet. Also, no advertiser would want to advertise on a free service. Why would they!

I started solving crosswords in high school. Newspapers were a daily essential back in the nineties (the last century!) and we used to get the Times of India. It had (and still carries) a pretty decent crossword — I don’t remember where it was syndiated from, but it may have been from The Times newspaper in the UK.

The slow, but increasingly inevitable, demise of the RSN model is forcing sports franchises and leagues to think about how they reach (and engage) with their fans.

As someone who loves to travel and has lived in various places around the world, I wanted to create a fun and interactive way to showcase all the locations I’ve visited or lived in. The idea was simple: build a map that allows me to pin every place I’ve been to, highlight my current location, and share it with friends and family.

July 9th, 1990. My first day at a new middle school. I was the only one who didn’t show up.

The only truly finite asset is human attention — to be able to capture it is the single most important objective for both publishers and brands.

It’s been twenty-five years since I published my first personal site. That first attempt can still be found in the internet archive, and the braver amongst you can go have a look.

Khawar, or KB as he insists on being called, has been teaching people how to become Cisco Networking experts for thirty-odd years.

In the year 2000 I was transitioning from running an independent web-design shop to working as a reporter for a traditional newspaper. In 2020, I find myself leading a team trying to build and launch the most advanced video platform as a service this world has ever seen.

I was recently asked to recommend the books a person starting up should read. It got me thinking about the books that have influenced me the most. So here’s a living list — I’ll add to it every time I read something seminal. And I’m adding videos of talks (usually by the author) where available.
