Glad to see a honest officer join active politics. Hope he doesn't disappoint as Kejriwal. We need more educated, well trained people in politics. Hope Congress leave space for such people to flourish and contribute for the country

8 km with a cadence of 161. Starting the week by achieving a strong fitness goal. Since the swimming pool in our town is closed for winter, I started jogging. Initially, I began with 4 km, then moved to 6 km, and today I jogged 8 km. If I keep this up, I might soon be jogging…

Indian civic sense A woman sitting in next chair in a car showroom speaking loudly with speakers on. Everyone can hear the conversation. This isn’t some random scene. It repeats in almost all public places - trains, airports … Why?

When I went to college, my mom expected me to write daily. Sometimes, I'd write "I'm good, Amma. How are you?" on 20-30 postcards, leave them on the table before heading to college, and tell her to read one each day. Time passed. I got a job, married, and had kids. My parents…

We expect more from the Indian diaspora than from Indian elites themselves. @ShashiTharoor recently wrote that Indian immigrants in the US should “speak up for India,” especially as Trump turns protectionist. It sounds noble—but perhaps it’s a misplaced expectation. He’s asking…

Look around all physical infrastructure. Bridges, metro stations, airports … all opened with lot of fanfare. They brake or leak within years if not months. Unfortunately that seems to be the case with digital infrastructure too (exceptions like UPI are there). That’s why the…

On WhatsApp you can paste a number and if the number is on WhatsApp you can start the chat. Unlike on WhatsApp, I can’t chat with @Arattai without giving access to contacts.

Even before this, billings by consulting companies bordered on cheating. They would bill three clients simultaneously. GenAI has simply provided senior consultants with yet another tactic to cheat further.

China started with copying things. Look where there now. I am ok Zoho copies. What matters is can they bring quality to their products? Can they excel in their engineering, customer service? Those are the things that will differentiate them from other services.

I was working in Ministry of Corporate Affairs when Sachin ji was the minister. He had a short stint but achieved much in that period. He laid out his vision and asked the IAS officers what he needed to facilitate to get those changes done. And he did.

Indian politicians & bureaucrats are not interested in providing "corruption free" services to the citizens. They just want their "cut". In the last few days there have been so many tweets on variety of stories about corruption in govt offices across govt departments. If there…

It would be easy to find someone less expensive than I. But no one who provides a greater ROI. - Dr Alan Weiss If you are an independent consultant, can you say this? If not, work on your "value". Because in the GenAI era, you are going to have this conversation often.

> Without coming heavily on corruption, India can’t progress. Absolutely. It has to be from top level (PM Cares, Electoral Bonds) to every govt agency (RTO, Land registration ...)

This is lame and distasteful. Win with your product, not by focusing on your competitor's opinions. Going forward, keep your opinions to yourself. Otherwise, you risk the day when your customers discover one of your beliefs are anathema to them, and they will leave.

Do you miss thoughtful essays on the internet? With social media, we often get byte-sized tweets and endless scrolling reels. But I wanted something slower, deeper, and more reflective. So I built a small app: Read2Reflect. It serves up a random essay from a collection I’m…

I write & dictate. Both times there are so many "click" moments. I discover thoughts I didn't know I had it in me. It is the same case with tweeting too. Write more. Discover you more.

30 days. 30 laps. Tired but refreshed. This month, I set myself a challenge: swim 30 laps every day in a 25-meter pool here in Panchkula before it closed for winter. Swimming has never been just exercise for me. I once nearly drowned. I only learned at 35. I used to struggle…
