The moment Indians realise that the primary goal of ANY political party is to win the next election and not to make our lives better - we will start looking at real issues and wont be swayed by random things. No one cares about you unless we collectively demand. Roads. Water. Air

Within another year or so, RBI will be forced to raise repo rates. Loans become expensive. EMIs increase. If there’s job losses, it’ll hit the middle class hard. Even the ones praising BJP will switch sides. An economic storm is brewing.

What’s the point of Dalot? #manutd Not good going forward. Not good defending.

Things may not go my way but note to myself: I’m super grateful for all the things life has given me. A supportive partner, a close knit family, friends who have known me from kindergarten, my neighbourhood coffeeshop community, my curiosity & health. Life’s good. I guess :)

I think it was Warren Buffet who said - you need 3 traits to be successful. Intelligence, energy and integrity. Without integrity, the other two are dangerous.

2 VC rounds raised. Near 7 figure USD ARR. Profitable. Agreed on an exit with my cofounder & investors. Now, my cofounder has gone back on her word. I don’t want to ruin my happiness & peace of mind. Thinking of walking away with nothing. I’m tired of lies. Want happiness :(

Now, we all know what Modi will block next.
The blocking of @sabeer’s video on the Modi-Adani 'friendship' is disappointing, especially given how effectively it brings together a complex story. It raises an important question: what does this relationship mean for public policy, public resources, and the concentration of corporate power? We, at @newslaundry, have investigated two parts of this labyrinth. Here are our two bits. A long thread. 🧵 (I promise, it's worth the scroll. The documents do the talking.) But first, kudos to Sabeer for bringing these questions to a wider audience.

Kerala Piravi Dinam Grateful to be from that little sliver of sense and greenery. May the ocean and the mountains protect us. May we protect the ocean and the mountains.

Majority of the most ill-informed accounts on X have a cricketer as a display picture.

Player power wins at @ManUtd #manutd again. @carras16 you’re a legend. Love ya. Players go fuck yourself.

Just sell the club and turn it into a parking lot @ManUtd Players are a disgrace. Management is a disgrace. Owners are a disgrace.

I don’t believe all of this at @ManUtd - the misses, the card - is accidental. It seems intentional @OmarBerrada

Manutd doesn’t have a striker. Not one. Even in the academy. How far have we fallen? @ManUtd @OmarBerrada What’s the point

After a dislocated shoulder, this is all the workout I can do. I do run a bit as well. Stopped boxing, HIIT classes and deadlifts. Anyone got ideas on what other workouts I can do so muscle mass doesn’t reduce? :(

“Day in the life of @Microsoft “ is all over my feed. This is true blasphemy. During my banking days, I used to be at my desk at 645 am, work & calls, 12 noon go downstairs to pick up lunch and coffee, lunch at my desk, work & calls, 6pm go home, gym & dinner, 9 pm…

Mail/follow up with MDs for approvals, call parents, 10 pm time with my partner, 11 pm odd sleep. I loved my work, my boss, my team and my bank. Infact, I respected them. Maybe that’s why they still remain friends. These reels are clownery and time theft.

The best way to understand the world and India is to travel the world. Quality of life improves so much with good roads, good sidewalks, greenery, parks, good drinking water, clean air, considerate citizens and a lot of smiles.

Sabeer Bhatia documentary is a good example of Streisand effect. Even people who weren’t planning to watch will be curious now. Plurality of voices is the cornerstone of a vibrant democracy.

Player power wins again at @ManUtd I trust @carras16 more than the players when it comes to loving the club. I wouldn’t be surprised that he lost the dressing room due to a certain Manchester boy who came back. And @B_Fernandes8 needs to lead on the pitch first then talk

Worst game I have watched in a long time @ManUtd Are these players even interested in playing for the club? Useless useless useless the whole lot
