Joined twitter on Feb 1, 2008. Lots of things happened between then and now. I have only great memories of Twitter. Met lot of good folks. Learnt a lot from them. Of late it has become more to sell things than to make connections. I wish it could be "social" again. https://t.co/hLQsxUy4AS

I am wondering if we are at a stage of collapse of UN. History seems to rhyme with League of Nations. > The League failed to intervene following the occupation of Manchuria in 1931 and the invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) by Italy in 1935. This not only affected the political… https://t.co/ArMoSZEWWh

There is no single cockroach in the kitchen - Warren Buffett He has been a cheater and a fraud. And lot of Indian folks admire him. And emulate him too. Basically Indian mentality is: cheat, fly abroad, cheat, make money, get power, go out of reach of law, repeat. https://t.co/M9wWP8NwSO

This was the beginning of my exploration into #homeschooling. At that time, I wasn't thinking of homeschooling. My son was ready to go to school and this question came up in my mind. 8 years later we switched to homeschooling https://t.co/ygY7AVkRsC

Christmas started early for me. 🕺 I shared draft of the book I am writing (Tech driven sales: https://t.co/WPykani8Vg). One read it and asked for coaching around the theme. Feels good to have a client even before I complete the book.

Pollution is forcing people to migrate out of Delhi. We have been in Panchkula for 10 years. Never before we considered moving out. It feels home. For the first time, we have started discussing moving out - probably to outskirts of Bangalore. (there doesn't seem to be a great…

What’s your favourite note taking app? I have tried many different apps and keep coming back to @obsdmd Mainly because of its file over app philosophy. I have 1000s of notes. I can edit them however I want without restrictions of what obsidian allows.
Social media exposes us to many options: • LinkedIn - all the jobs that we could do • Instagram - all the stylish ways we can dress • Twitter - all the ways we can make money All these kick start mimetic desires and make us feel disappointed. What’s the remedy? Stay away…
Heavy pollution here in Panchkula has taken all the fun expectations of winter. We used to look forward to winter. Early morning walk / jog Going out in the middle of the day All gone because of pollutions

India needs investment in AQI more than AI. Whoever launches Good Air As A Service (GAAS) will reap billion dollars quickly. Indians are used to buying: - inverters - water filters - private security guards for apartments So this won't be a surprise. https://t.co/QGRWu9hx1E

May be GenAI is not bullshit? > since I got into programming I’ve assumed that one shared trait between programmers was curiosity, a willingness to learn, and that our maxim is that we can’t ever stop learning, because what we’re doing is constantly changing beneath our fingers…

What’s the real AQi at panchkula? Each site gives very different numbers from 23 to 78. iPhone indicates it is > 300. Air feels like > 300 though. Difficult to breathe in these conditions. https://t.co/5HJ8giYFFZ

All answers in the thread are wrong. It needs boldness at the very top to do this. Though it has been done in a siloed manner earlier - Metro, MCA21, Aadhar are few examples. https://t.co/coLQhOg6aP

I hope Elon and Vivek don’t disappoint the Americans. Modi came to power with the slogan - Minimum government, maximum governance. We have not seen it. In fact we have seen the opposite. What Elon and team will be a worthwhile experiment to watch. https://t.co/zPf0tk1zsI

It seems that I swing between being a hamster in a spinning wheel searching for the next big thing and pursuing what I feel as THE thing but doubting if I am missing something in life.
@david_perell closed write of passage. @kunksed closes stoa. Running a venture is hard. Running a high quality education is even harder. Hats off to these folks who set the trend and experimented. I am sure these experiments will help them with their next venture. https://t.co/DB7k8DoRBJ
I got done a lot today but at the end of day feel disappointed because I didn’t work on anything worthwhile that moved the needle on the projects that matter.

Only consolation is that it could get better in few days. Never expected Panchkula could get this worse with respect to AQI https://t.co/rDNkJIIZve
You can ridicules as much you want. The question is are you connecting with your readers and constituents? English phrases and words get redefined often. And we have our own Indian way of using queen’s English. May be “man of letters” is getting redefined. https://t.co/mpC4nCVxry
Could it be that the rules of business success (and failure) are an elaborate exercise in hindsight bias? Of joining the dots after the fact? https://t.co/Eo9IUhEGsf
