NRIs landing in B'lore: "I'm bullish on India ruling the world. Energy is palpable. Unbelievable how far India has come, beating US by miles. You have UPI. Mind is blown. Pants are wet. UPI. India is best." after going back to family: "phew good to breathe clean air again lmao"

Always a great day to take down Ranveer Allahbadia. I wish every woman the courage & freedom to stop smiling when the joke stops being funny. Stop smiling, be pissed, look them in the eye & tell them, “That was not funny”. Or in the case of Ranveer’s comment, “You need to get checked ASAP coz what you said was disturbingly wrong.” And the rest of the men who joked? Including this Samay Raina. Well, grow a goddamned spine.

Reading is meditative, reflective, immersive. It’s the purest solo entertainment there is. It’s a line between the reader & the writer & no one else. If you can’t read alone, fix that. If you need a public club to sit with other people reading, you’re probably interested in the performance of reading than reading itself.

AI is everybody’s second brain at this point. There’s nothing genius about it. Where the genius does lie, however, is how your human genius multiplies AI’s genius. Two brains is not necessarily better than one. But two GOOD brains? Magic.

Zomato was a great brand name. It was original, witty, sassy, and had personality - much like Zomato’s brand in the early years. Eternal is trite, boring, unoriginal, and most importantly, sounds like a wannabe who wants to do everything.

@RajeevShrikhand tweet is in Punjabi

Loving all the journalists and print media analysing & explaining Kejriwal’s defeat for all kinds of reasons from pollution to arrogance. His jail term is nowhere in all of this, coz what did that have to do with the election right. 4th pillar of democracy lmao.

@eiger8611 @AtishiAAP what has your being a batchmate got to do with this lmao

drain your brain outta this pain

Please don’t pretend to empathise with Delhi’s pollution problem unless you’re demanding clear air, water, and land for the entire country. This country is obsessed with AI, startups, religion, festivals, Islamophobia. Environment has never been a part of our national discourse. Until people switch their obsession from accessory topics that concern the top 5% to the bare essentials that affect everyone, our politics won’t change.

it’s crazy but access to capital right now is way easier than access to people who match your wavelength.

My worst nightmare is raising a bunch of pre-seed money and meeting talent who wouldn’t have been interested otherwise. Nothing matters more right now than finding people who, above all, are in the same stage of life as I am (i.e ready to try and fail).

I wrote a deeply personal essay about what I’ve been up to in the last ~6 months since I left Netflix. I share my musings about work, identity, building for Bharat, video as a media format, and finally, entrepreneurship. Quite raw. Read and tell.

@sourabhagr87

half the people will lie awake at night thinking about the idea of purpose, because someone sold them that they have to have one. Procrastinators do this too. You’ll waste the entire day and be struck by ideas when the day is ending. Get your sleep. Time is a manmade construct.

Uber’s core proposition was good quality cabs on an app. In India, it’s been reduced to just cabs on an app.

@reignofcat Algorithms are designed and doctored, life is not. Would be a great stretch to say they mimic life. Is there some vanity to art? Yes. But vanity has layers too. There’s vanity in wanting to make good art and there’s the vanity in seeking validation for it. They are not the same.
