In 2012, McDonald’s India opened its first vegetarian-only restaurant near the Golden Temple in Amritsar, followed by another at Katra near the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir.

Eric Schmidt, in his book How Google Works, says there are two kinds of people—knaves and divas.
Knaves are selfish. They create drama, slow things down, and hurt the team. When you spot one, don’t hesitate. Let them go.
