The first time I had any exposure to Om and his work was on The GigaOm Show on Revision3 (twenty years ago!). It was still a time where I thought it was wondrous that high production-value content would be distributed online for free—YouTube and friends still hadn't found themselves with "high end" content. It felt like the future of news, and it was. He was a really pleasant guy, and really far ahead of his time.
जब हम पैदा हुये तो जग हँसे हम रोये,
ऐसी करनी कर चलो, हम हँसे, जग रोये।
Translation: When you were born, you cried while the world rejoiced;
Live such a life that when you depart, you smile while the world weeps.
