One of Spark’s core defining factors has been the columns and interviews we have published in all our issues over the last two years. This exercise has been an immensely rewarding and a spectacular learning experience for us in many ways, including but definitely not limited to gaining a deeper understanding of how people approach their areas of expertise, realising that it is their passion, intelligence, persistence and a certain humility that has taken them to where they are today, and of course, receiving our biggest reward—that of Wisdom – that’s something we have received in copious amounts during our interactions.
Our featured personalities—ranging from authors to performing artistes to filmmakers to journalists to publishers to social activists—have all been great sources of some brilliant thinking and insightful experiences. At the most basic level, they have led us to think deeply about life’s most important and relevant truths and reexamine some of our beliefs and ways.
We earnestly hope, month after month, over the last two years, we have been successful in our endeavor to take this very wisdom to our readers by publishing these interviews and columns. On this special occasion of celebrating 25 issues and two years of word, world, wisdom at Spark, we felt nothing would be a more befitting tribute to all the wonderful people who agreed to share their thoughts with us than bringing out a compilation of the best of our conversations. Not to mention, a small gift to all our dear readers who have read and supported us through the last two years.
The Spark editorial team, keeping this momentous occasion in mind, has put together the best of what our featured personalities have said over the last two years through different columns and interviews. Lastly, we have to mention that we sure are enjoying the sense of pride that fills us as we get ready to publish these gems of thoughts—it sets out to show the amazing variety that we have been able to present in terms of themes in our issues. We feel glad, absolutely glad.
We sincerely wish this collection will brighten up your day whenever you choose to read it.
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting joyfully —the best of what they said.
