A note on the issue: Little joys or going extra
Live MintThis is an issue of contrasts—Neha Sinha advocates the simple joys of observing nature in the monsoon, Radhika Iyengar writes about the beautiful, crumbling bird-feeders of Ahmedabad, Deepti Patwardhan reports on the challenges faced by Indian breakers, and then we dive headfirst into the elaborate indulgence that is the Indian millionaire wedding. In Business Lounge, we meet Banijay Asia and EndemolShine India’s Deepak Dhar, India’s reality showman, who has created popular shows such as Bigg Boss and adapted popular international shows such as MasterChef and The Night Manager. He talks about his unending curiosity, which helps him turn simple, almost everyday though sometimes voyeuristic, concepts into shows that become household habits. To return to little joys, we take a look back the now 60-year-old Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night, which essentially is one-and-a-half-hours of manic, musical energy, and have other ideas to help you spend your weekend whether you’re looking for simple pleasures or flamboyant fun.
