Only those North Indian people who had fucked up childhoods in horrible households can enjoy their living on the own in BLR, which feels like a geographical distance from the internalised abuse

@Vatsal_Sanghvi No - it’s not crisis. It’s just means Indians who want to pay are able to pay. Without these breathers, the public system will collapse further subsidising who don’t need it.

22 lakh dias were lit in Ayodhya on Deepotsav. If 10 ml (conservative estimate) of oil was used in each diya, 22,000 litres was used in day. A poor family of four can use litre of it for at least 15 days for food preparation. But everyone loves an extravaganza.

Why on earth should we refuse to eat our cuisine? White people will come to india and the restaurants will make stupid roasts and toasts for their palette. Yet when Indians with disposable income visit France, they must eat a bland crow’s aunt.

Indians as a people are absurdly attached to the Indian taste. So much that many prefer Indian food even when vacationing abroad. The survival of international chains here depends on how well they Indianise their menu. We *refuse* to leave our comfort zone when it comes to food.

Not sure about other cities but in Delhi you'd meet a lot of people from smaller cities who'd talk to you about Rafi and Rahe Fateh Ali Khan. They'd talk about rustic romanticism of Delhi. Living in crampy South Delhi apartments.

@kunksed My favorite pastime is declining Bombay based recruiters when they give me their sob story that we are a young team so that's all they can afford. I told them good luck finding a Bombay native, someone who can forego paying rent to do the job.

Being non-religious is a personal choice for one. It doesn’t make one morally superior or otherwise. Remember this as you engage with people in their exuberance or their despair.

Lodhi Garden on Sunday. Good news: the sun was seen, rare for Delhi in 2023. Bad news: saffron flag waving zealots, keen to disturb the happily mingling picknickers, marched and chanted around the park. How long before these beloved tombs and monuments are next targeted?

@FreakShreek I hope you harvest a lot of views on such a post. But if they don’t want to buy from you, you don’t have to end up using expletives. Your national ego was hurt, you in the process hurt so much other business an Indian (or non-American) can get coz he’d get abused for a polite NO

Since I have been tracking the Pakistani ecosystem also quite closely due to my last job, it is crazy to see how closely they track Indian ecosystem in general. From not only closely emulating models in agri, logistics, fintech, but also calling them X,Y,Z of Pakistan.

Such senior ex-execs themselves, VCs on the board and experience of being founders (flanked by CAs and lawyers) and yet no one told them that they can’t solicit money into private companies in India through an advertisement in public forums - governance isn’t a checklist

It genuinely feel nonsensical to hear a fellow VC when they say “oh company A is just copying company B”. My brother in Christ, your portfolio is full of assets that a Tier 1 fund wants to get their risk mutualised.

Funny thing about Bangalore is, neither are migrants powerful enough to convert it into a city with completely new identity (like Mumbai’s Jain Gujju businessmen) nor the locals aggressive enough like Chennai to force cultural compliance. So you have 2 cities with no city centre
