‘The Others’ books take place in an alternate Earth where the Earth natives have been the dominant predators throughout the world’s history, and humans are nowhere near the top of the food chain.

I had a trial run with Norman Ross for 21 years, from ’61 to ’82. I didn’t have it in mind to open a chain like Harvey Norman. I opened one shop, but then the next thing you know, I’ve got another shop and then another shop.
I think that there are a lot of law enforcement officers out there who work according to their own set of what is right and what is wrong. And that doesn’t always include respect for administration cops, you know, people that are higher up the food chain.
When you think about our 13,000 small and medium businesses in America that are part of our supply chain, and that’s more than 1.5 million manufacturing jobs. So it’s a significant job generator.

Biology will relate every human gene to the genes of other animals and bacteria, to this great chain of being.
We have only one Windows. We don’t have multiple Windows. They run across multiple form factors, but it’s one developer platform, one store, one tool chain for developers. And you adapt it for different screen sizes and different input and output.

There is not much awareness about fitness in India, unlike other countries. We don’t get too many medals at Olympics; one of the reasons is we don’t have that culture of fitness in India. That is why we decided to start this chain of gyms under my name.
I have this necklace I always wear. I collect pendants from people I love; my best friends and members of my family have all given me one, and I put them on this chain so no matter where I am they’re always with me.
