Hi Rahul,

Got to be honest, even though I eagerly wait for a TG drop, I was skeptical of investing in this read once I read the intro. The narrative style of relating the idea (or account, in this case) to the modern day business and startup journey was a great hook and Kudos to that!

The lessons in the story are well presented! Crazy how you come up these ideas to dig into and how much there is to learn. Also, the quote from Charlie gave me a jitter in his remembrance. May him and Kahneman rest in peace!

Waiting for the merch and more!

Fascinating....a bit of a pleasant 'cool' departure from the usual Tigerfeathers fare:)

Rahul, thank you for sharing such a fascinating piece! I had no idea that ice in Mumbai originally came all the way from Boston. The story of how ice was cut from frozen lakes in Massachusetts and shipped 16,000 miles across the Atlantic is incredible. It’s amazing to think about the effort and ingenuity involved in making that happen back in the 1800s. Your writing brought this unique slice of history to life!

Hailing from Chennai, I never knew the "Ice House" has such an entrepreneurial history all the way to US! Thank you for all the myriad connections from culture, history, technology to entrepreneurship. Great read.

The humourous touches are spot on, especially the one with midjourney . When I read the description of the cooler jug, I was tempted to ask AI to visualise. And there you had it with a cool remark!
