For Plum founder Shankar Prasad, psychology lessons aplenty in Big B's superhit 'Don'
Shankar Prasad, founder of Plum, discussing a variety of topics, shares insights on his favourite movie, 'Don', and its lessons on human psychology.

Movie

Don — the 1978 Amitabh Bachchan film. Its storyline, screenplay, dialogue, cast, their acting, and the songs are great examples of human psychology at work. I’ve watched it countless times.
Book
'A Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson. It combines the best of history, physics, evolutionary biology, and psychology — all subjects that I enjoy.Restaurants

Subway, because other than home food, it’s my only source of vegetarian, non-spicy, and healthy food, no matter which city I’m in.
Brands
I really like Lush (the British personal care brand). They are never afraid to take a stand, including quitting social media. I also like Dyson — the product is the real hero.Apps
BigBasket for the best grocery selection. Plus, it is a real-time saver, while keeping the environment in mind. I also like NY Times Games for their word puzzles, including Wordle and Spelling Bee, and BBC News for their balanced, high-quality coverage.Holiday Spot

Coastal Maharashtra during the monsoons. In fact, anywhere on the western coast all the way down to Kerala. It feels like the heavens are blessing us, with all the rains and greenery around.
Gadgets
My OnePlus phone — it’s reliable, sturdy, and fast. The Blaupunkt soundbar at home because it offers great sound quality at a good price.The Economic Times Business News App for the Latest News in Business, Sensex, Stock Market Updates & More.
