I loved the illustration → photo transition used in this visual-blog by Reuters on the bulldozing of slums in Delhi (which was done to make the city look good for the ongoing G20 event). Sad story, I know. But great aesthetics.
Alright, now to the other two things…
Thing 1
Does using complex words, make you sound smarter?
In the video above (latest episode of CoreInsights) I share findings from a research paper that explored this question. What do you think the answer is? Video dekh lo.
Thing 2
In the most bizzare running related news that I have ever read…
11,000 runners in the Mexico City Marathon were disqualified because they cheated!
The race had ~30k participants - which means over 1/3rd cheated! WTF! Here’s the news link.
I am not the runner that I used to be, but on this note here’s a blog-post from 2010 - when I had ran (and walked) my first and only full marathon in Ahmedabad.
So now you are aware of the pre-G20 bulldozing of Delhi’s slums + 2 more things. Keep doing more of what brings you joy and less of what sucks it away. And don’t cheat please. See you soon!
PS: Nio - my cat went missing this week; sad :/
