Shoe Dog - Review



A beautiful memoir by the creator of Nike that takes through the entire transformation of Blue Ribbon to Nike Inc.

Phil Knight is a great businessman, unravels his storytelling skills in this book.
A true gem for all the budding entrepreneurs.
"Perseverance" is what I understand made Phil what he is today.
His unique management style comes naturally to him and that is one of his success mantras.
One notable character of Phil is that he has backed his colleagues despite of having lot of shortcomings.
He has nurtured his baby company carefully and braced all the hardships during the budding years.
This book is briefly divided into three stages. The inception of Blue Ribbon and his budding years. The transition of Blue Ribbon to Nike Inc and added responsibilities as a father to his sons. The success of Nike into a giant and hard life lessons.
Wonderfully crafted story with a roller coaster of emotions.

The dark side of the sachin superfan

Adelaide. Melbourne. Perth. Hamilton. Auckland. He’s everywhere the Indian team plays.  Yet, he has no source of income.  He’s a frequent visitor at Sachin Tendulkar’s plush Bandra residence, often sharing a meal with India’s most wanted.  Yet, he can’t remember when last he spoke to his father.  He carries a power bank to ensure his smartphone is never out of juice, you never know who might call.  Yet, he never picks up when his only sister calls.  Meet Sudhir Kumar Chaudhry, also known as Sudhir Gautam, the instantly recognisable Indian superfan.  You know him because it seems no India match actually begins till he blows his conch. You know him because no Indian century celebration is complete without him waving the tricolour as if his life depended on it.
