We seriously need our own SM apps
After PM @narendramodi ji, @Meta is now reportedly restricting Maharashtra CM @Dev_Fadnavis ji’s posts inviting people to the @WHCongress 2026 in Mumbai. Meta must explain and rectify these restrictions immediately!

1600 votebanks more important then commuter lives !
A leading factor in Thane station congestion is people from Dombivli and beyond interchanging from Central to Trans harbour to go to Digha/Airoli. The Kalwa Airoli link planned to fix this has been stalled by Jitendra Awhad since 2017. He literally called them his votebank.

This !
For two years, I travelled from Badlapur to Nariman Point by local train to CSMT, followed by a taxi. Before that, I spent three years commuting from Badlapur to Andheri. Then, one day, during peak hours, while boarding a CSMT-bound local at Badlapur, I slipped on the platform and narrowly escaped falling into the gap between the platform and the tracks. I survived that day. But something changed. That was the end of my daily commute by local trains. I told myself, never again. I chose to pay nearly six times the rent to live in Vikhroli, closer to work, so I could commute by bike or cab instead. Of course, my expenses shot up. But I gained something I had begun to take for granted: peace of mind. I could finally sleep without nightmares of falling off a packed local train. I know this comes from a place of privilege. Millions of Mumbaikars living in the distant suburbs have little choice but to depend on local trains. Not everyone can afford to move closer to work or pay for an alternative commute. But if you can afford to make that choice and are still putting it off, please reconsider. Mumbai's local trains are the city's lifeline. But for those of us forced to travel in dangerously overcrowded conditions, they can also become a death trap. No commute should come at the cost of your life. If you have a way out, take it.

Will try to fit them in . Following some but need to work more on it !
I spent 5 days in Japan studying health and science. But I came back with 4 words that changed how I look at life. The Japanese have words we simply don’t have in English. And when I heard them, I could not stop thinking about how much we are missing. 4 words that I brought back home with me. 1. YUTORI (ゆとり) — Leave some room in your life. We have become obsessed with filling every single minute. Meetings. Calls. Workouts. Podcasts. More goals. More hustle. But your body heals in stillness. Your mind thinks clearly in space. We have forgotten what it feels like to just breathe. 2. REI (礼) — Respect doesn’t make you smaller. I watched people bow here. To welcome someone. To thank someone. To simply acknowledge another human being. The most grounded, confident people I know carry deep respect for others. It does not shrink them. It makes them bigger. 3. PIN PIN KORORI (ピンピンコロリ) — Don’t only live longer. Stay capable longer. This one hit me hard. Because we chase longevity. But longevity without quality of life means nothing. The real goal is to be sharp, strong, mobile, and present for as long as possible. That is what I call Human Capacity. And you build it every single day with the small choices you make. 4. ISOGABA MAWARE (急がば回れ) — Sometimes the slower route gets you there faster. We glorify urgency. Fix yourself faster. Grow faster. Heal faster. But your body does not work on urgency. It works on consistency. The slow, steady, intentional path always wins. Japan did not just teach me about health. It reminded me that the way you live every day is the medicine. Which one are you going to start using in your life today? #japan #india #lifelessons

Superb work cc @AndheriLOCA
Can Mumbai have clean, thriving water bodies again? At Ganesh Talav, we have shown that it is possible. Nearly two months ago, we inaugurated one of my most cherished projects: the rejuvenation of Ganesh Talav. What began four years ago as a series of improvements to the garden, its infrastructure and public amenities has grown into something far more meaningful. Over the six months, we undertook one of our most ambitious challenges yet: clearing polluted waters, restoring the lake and bringing its ecosystem back to life. Today, the return of fish, turtles, aquatic plants, birds and other wildlife tells a story more powerful than any before-and-after photograph. Nature is remarkably generous with second chances, provided we have the will to give it one. A water body once burdened by pollution is becoming a thriving habitat again, reminding us that even Mumbai’s most difficult environmental challenges are not beyond repair. But what makes Ganesh Talav truly special our people. For years, a committed community of citizens has cared for this garden, protecting it from misuse, educating visitors and nurturing a sense of shared responsibility. Their efforts remind us that governments can build public spaces, but it is the people who give them a lasting future. When citizens become custodians rather than mere visitors, preservation becomes a habit, not an occasional campaign. Ganesh Talav is proof of what sustained public effort and active citizenry can accomplish together. It is also a reminder that a city’s progress must be measured not only by what it builds, but by what it brings back to life. One park at a time, one lake at a time, we are building a greener, more beautiful Mumbai. And with every such transformation, the city of our dreams becomes a little more real.

Ouch wonder what’s the reason
I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code and seeing it scale larger than I ever imagined. I have really loved working at Ant and believe deeply in the mission, and most of all, the idea of a race to the top. The idea that if we work hard and responsibly, we can raise the bar and inspire others to great outcomes. And if we all push each other to be better, things can be radically good. I will carry the spirit of this with me forever. My colleagues at Anthropic are the most talented, thoughtful, competent, and earnest people I have ever met. I am glad they are at the wheel and trust them deeply. To the community on X, thank you for everything. You’ve made this the most fun (and sometimes stressful) job I’ve ever had. For me, it is time for a bit of a break before diving into something new. If you want more excellent Claude Code content, you should follow @addyosmani , @lydiahallie, @_catwu, @ClaudeDevs and of course @bcherny who started it all.

Need Adani to clear the airport area also . This air India colony should have been given alternative accommodation. If these were slums they would get flats in same area !

Wow this really is amazing for building vocational skills cc @Rotary
This student training center at my customer's factory houses some of the finest machinery available. One hundred thirty students spend two days a week here and two days at college, earning a stipend throughout the three-and-a-half-year program. After graduation, half of these students join this company, while the remaining half find employment at similar firms. The company funds this entire initiative without government support, though it receives tax benefits on capital purchases. Students do not build products for the main production line. Instead, the company runs this facility entirely to build a highly skilled workforce. I do not know of any company in India with a similar concept. Most German companies have this.

All are back BTW . These are the second hand AC Bangar shops which buy and sell them . Good job @mybmc cc @AndheriLOCA
Need clarification from BMC. Why are officers removing AC units and outdoor AC machines installed inside shops and taking action against them at D.N. Nagar Municipal Road, Andheri West? Is this a ward-wide enforcement drive or a specific action? Kindly clarify. @mybmcwardKW
