I am bullish on Indian markets. Next decade we are going to see even more growth. But also know that there are going to heavy corrections like before. #IndianStockMarket

Andy Grove said, only the paranoid survive. Our ancestors' paranoia kept them alive. But to thrive, you must integrate an opposing idea. Optimism keeps us moving forward. In today's commonlog entry, I talk about integrating these two opposing ideas:

If India has to grow beyond creamy layer, we need to teach in regional languages. Germany, Japan, Russia teach in mother-tongues. We need to do the same in India. Today's @GravitasWins interview is with @tamizhvendan who teaches software in Tamil:

I couldn't pay for @DescriptApp with @theniyo card. I raised a ticket. @NiyoSupport calls me at night 1.30 am. When I don't pick up, they close the ticket. How disappointing customer service!

Productivity = Creativity x Efficiency If one of them goes down, productivity goes down as well. #productivity

AWS makes it hard to use their services via code compared to other equivalent ones. Ex: To transcribe mp3: • create IAM user • create access keys • give permission to s3 bucket • code (upload to s3 ...) ... With OpenAI • create access keys • code (point to s3 & transcribe)

I'm just getting to know the great pianist & comedian "Victor Borge". Here is one act that we (as a family) have been watching and laughing out loud. What are the ways you have fun together as a family?

Andy Grove, the Intel founder said, “only the paranoid survive.” Paranoia helped our hunter-gatherer ancestors to survive in the wilderness. Today paranoia and survival are on the opposite side. How to marry them? That's the topic of today's commonlog:

If you are not updated, your outdated. True for software or for you. If you want to continue to be relevant and valuable in your career, you need to learn continually. Here is a framework, I've used for the past 15 years that has helped me well.

If you are always on a treadmill to upgrade your income or status, when are you going to work on craftsmanship? Don't you think it is a good question? Every one is taking courses and workshops to clear an interview or earning more. Not lot focus on improving the quality. Why?

Two types of AI in education by @tylercowen Interesting take:

I learnt this from @BentleyGTCSpeed 's books and blog posts. Focus on why and what. Figure out how as you go on.

Hi @typefully: Is the mastodon integration tested? I am trying to connect account and it throws 404 error.

Too many bots nowadays on Twitter. I thought this is exactly what @elonmusk promised to keep out on Twitter.

Most of us confuse forgiveness with absolution, that to forgive is to absolve someone of guilt, I have struggled with this feeling. So read this essay with deep thought. Thank you @EconTalker for writing this

I have a starting trouble. Before I start working, I’ll distract myself with videos, trivia, or Twitter. All I need is a gentle push, like little stretching before a run. Dictation is that push for writing. I write more in today's commonplace note:

In Indian queues even if there are enough space they have to bump into you. Otherwise they are not satisfied of standing in queue

Parents think they are outsourcing teaching their kids to schools. Schools outsource it back to parents. Both play this ping-pong well. Kids suffer.

🎙 How we learn to be a dad? 🎙 We are not taught to be a dad. We all learn on the go. In today's episode of "Being a dad," @keepkwizing and I share how we are learning to be a dad. Would appreciate if you listen & share your feedback Listen/watch:

We have democratized and normalized bribery in India. It doesn't shock us anymore. In fact, we are surprised if any govt work is done without "a grease". This is the topic of my commonlog entry today: What are your opinions on this?

For most startup’s this is MVP 😀

@louispereira recently I lost two notes (one me & another my son). tool doesn't give out any indication that it is not recording or there could be a problem. But after all the talking is done (in both cases, full 15 min), the tool says there is a problem.

Having a personal motto influences my decision-making process - career choices, places to live, and other important decisions in life. In today's commonlog entry, I talk about my life-motto and how I go about implementing it. Hope it is useful to you.

If we have to really understand any concepts, we have to learn in our mother tongues. That's why I am excited to interview TamizhVendan S who has been teaching software fundamentals in Tamil. What questions should I ask him? In the meantime, subscribe to the channel here:…

I don't have annual goals. 12 months is a long period to visualize and track. I set 12 weeks goals. In today's commonlog entry, I talk about this quarter's goals. They are not recommendations. Take them, adjust them, and follow them through.

Those in technology field assume all problems can be solved with technology. But human problems can’t be solved by tech. In fact tech solutions will only amplify them I write in my commonlog here:

Culture is important for families. We talk about it much, but what are the components of a family culture? That's the topic of today's commonlog entry: #culture #family #homeschooling

I wish all developers run their own website. That way they will understand (even little bit) how webapps work, how to maintain for a long time, how to upgrade etc. Easiest way to learn.

Kashmir is a beautiful place. But our experience was ruined by: • constant price negotiation everywhere • constant nagging to sell something all the time • demands for tips Wrote about it here: #travel #indiatravel

How to use @deno to parse markdown files with wikilinks? I see there are few md parsers for deno. But none of them renders wikilinks. Any idea?

Hey @appflowy team: Is it possible to publish (or expose) pages / directory? Say if I write a guide (main page and few sub-pages), can I publish that guide - either on appflowy cloud or outside as well?

I taught my kids to set goals for each quarter. They have been doing this for a year. This quarter they posted their goals in public. Here is the goals of 10yr for JFM. Quarterly Quest: Navigating Homeschool Life in JFM:

You need strategy, tactics, and logistics to reach your goals. • Strategy = knowing where you’re going & why • A tactic is a road map, a detailed plan to get you there • Logistic is the support system When all three aligns, magic happens More here:

When I think of Ryanair, I think of cheapest solutions. No wonder they are using tech to bring the cost down. Ryanair empowers cabin crew with new employee app built on AWS

Suddenly there is an interest in Indian tourist spots. Here are some of the places I visited in the last few years.

> I see the same uncle everywhere. Is he not a king? Sometimes kids can speak truth when adults are afraid

Today’s definition of manliness often revolves around gyms and bulging biceps. While there’s nothing wrong with feeling good about our bodies, manliness is so much more than that. In today's commonlog entry, I define what manliness means for me:

Japan doesn’t treat earthquakes as “if” but “when.” They know they are coming; so they prepare well in advance. You can use this principle too: Build on rock, for storms are coming

30 days back I started posting one short post (<500 words) everyday. I called it commonlog. I plan to post for a long time (at least a year). For me: writing is thinking. I hope this will help me think better & learn from others. Want to read? Go to:

And then we are spending so much money on outdated college education 😱

What is the point of reading books about writing and not writing an essay? What is the point of read all about personal branding and not doing anything about it? That's why I'm not going to read any new books. I am going to work on these list of ideas

Being famous is a 24-hour job. I see this craze with younger generation to be internet celebrities. I would rather advice them to be rich than famous. Ideal place to be is to be rich and unknown.

Are you letting go of good things in life so you can reach greater heights? In today’s commonlog entry, I share few experiences from my life on this aspect:
