Frozen Peas Fund


Frozen Peas Friday Avatar - Frozenpeafund,com, originally uploaded by shashiBellamkonda.

Susan Reynolds is the nicest person you can meet online. Not so long ago she announced that she was being tested for breast cancer and all of us had to pause and ponder. Why does this happen to nice people?

Please join the Frozen Peas Fund group on Flickr. Donate for breast Cancer Research at http://frozenpeafund.com/.



Here are some people who have been working hard and contributing to this effort. I am sure there are many others I may not have mentioned or do not know about:

Warren Buffett’s Quiet Masterclass in Leadership: What He Really Values in People

SB Shashi Bellamkonda Nov 27, 2025 Warren Buffett's Quiet Masterclass in Leadership: What He Really Values in People Warren Buffett's November 10, 2025 letter is not a typical shareholder update. It is a 95-year-old legend passing the baton while quietly teaching the rest of us what actually matters in people and leadership. 1. Temperament first — everything else second "Greg is a great manager, a tireless worker, and an honest communicator… Many of our best managers coincidentally lived for some time in Omaha and developed a balanced outlook on both personal and business matters." No mention of Harvard MBAs or Goldman Sachs pedigrees. Buffett hires for emotional equilibrium and long-term thinking — Omaha just happens to be a reliable filter. 2. "We had differences but never had an argument...

The Planned Solo Economy

  We often view single parenthood through a lens of economic hardship. However, recent data suggests a significant shift that the market has largely ignored: the rise of the intentional single mother. 40% of all births in America are to unmarried women. And two, that America has the world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households. Births to unmarried women aged 30 and up have increased by 140% in the last two decades, a period when teen births have fallen off a cliff. NPR's story on single motherhood spurred these thoughts.  The Shift from Circumstance to Choice Women over 30 are increasingly choosing single motherhood, supported by financial planning and reproductive technology. This isn't a distress category. It is a high-intent consumer segment making precise, high-stakes financial decisions. The Market Gap Despite this shift, our economic infrastructure remains optimized for dual-income households.  Real Estate: Mortgage underwriting and housing st...

A Childhood Tradition, Global Humor, and Why Laughter Might Be the Most Underrated Tool in Your Professional Kit but

  Do you still read the newspaper comics first, the way you did when you were eight? I do. Every morning, with my coffee, I flip (or scroll) straight to Dennis the Menace, Beetle Bailey, Popeye, and Blondie. In my home outside Washington D.C., these same four-panel worlds still make me chuckle out loud—exactly the way they did when I was a kid growing up in India in the 1980s and early 90s. Back then, the Sunday edition of The Times of India or The Hindu carried a full color comics page dominated by American syndicated strips.  Dennis was forever in the doghouse, Sarge was forever screaming at Beetle, Popeye was forever reaching for that can of spinach, and Dagwood was forever building those impossible sandwiches. Beside them sat the brilliant single-panel Amul ads—the mop-top girl with her utterly Indian topical wit—but almost everything else felt deliciously foreign and, somehow, universal at the same time. I don’t remember a single Indian-produced daily comic strip in those...
