grown-ups, the joys of watching cartoons are often overlooked or dismissed as childish. But delving into the world of animated entertainment offers a shipload of pleasures that transcend age boundaries. For starters, cartoons provide the ultimate escape from realism. They offer club entry into whimsy where literally anything is possible and imagination is queen. Moreover, cartoons often contain sophisticated humour and biting wit that hyper-sensitive adults — a growing breed these days — won't suspect in a 'children's genre'. Which is why so many animated shows incorporate satire, parody and social commentary otherwise verboten in 'real actors' films and shows. This humour-intelligence blend appeals to grown-up viewers who crave entertainment with substance — and an edge.

India is at the top of the chart for global investors, said HSBC India CEO Hitendra Dave. The absence of global banks in Indian retail lending and the soaring wealth effect of the Indian middle class have provided a springboard for HSBC India to become the vital lever of growth for the British bank, Dave said in an interview with Bhaskar Dutta and MC Govardhana Rangan. Edited excerpts: Among global banks, with Citi exiting retail, you are alone in the competitive retail space. What is it that you are seeing that others don't? My sense is that there is place for only one international bank to have the ambitions and market-share aspirations of a local bank while continuing to operate as an international bank — be it governance, structure, product, technology, and servicing. What distinguishes us is just the totality of all these things — the aspirations of a local, private bank but operations like an international bank. It is very important to have the emotional connection of a domestic bank. I can't judge myself, but I think we are that international bank. When you talk to large customers, if you ask them which is that one international bank which is ticking these boxes? I hope most people will say HSBC.

judicial intent of better informing voter choice through disclosures about electoral bonds (EBs) is obviously welcome. But here's the thing — could it lead to a perverse outcome of driving corporate donations to political parties further underground during the upcoming elections? Corporate donations through EBs were premised upon a layer of anonymity by maintaining uncorrelated lists of donors and recipients.
