I'm pleased to present a new podcast episode with co-authors of the Indus Valley Annual Report, Anurag Pagaria and Nachammai Savithri.
“I think the biggest takeaway for me has to be about the storytelling bit... and how important it is to tell a story. And I think I will not even take the credit for it.

All of those things are something that I learned along the way.” That's Anurag Pagaria of Blume Ventures, who has co-authored the excellent Indus Valley Annual Report 2024, along with Nachammai Savithri (or NS) and the inimitable Sajith Pai.

It's a busy period for me now! Many companies are trying to get some training programs done during the gap between Diwali and Christmas. Lot's of travel coming up! Meanwhile, while researching for my book, I remembered this delightful TED Talk by Shawn Achor - check out the hilarious opening story. And now, on to the newsletter. Welcome to the nintieth edition of '3-2-1 by Story Rules'. A newsletter recommending good examples of storytelling across: 3 tweets 2 articles, and 1 long-form...
It's been a good week for the book! I completed the chapter on humour and started one on figures of rhetoric (Expect to see some cool ones like diacope, anaphora and epizeuxis!). I must tell this though. In my career, have been working since 1998 (give or take a few years for MBA and breaks) - so about 23+ years. In all these years, I haven't enjoyed doing any work project as much as this book I am writing. It's been an exhilarating ride. I hope readers will also find it fun and useful! And...
