This seems to be the most reasonable action any state can take wrt recognising Palestine state. Recognise when there is effective state & willing accept state of Israel.

Can companies get GenAI into customer service correctly? Even today, companies have not gotten their tele-support & self-support correctly. Will they ever get GenAI for support correctly?

This is the time to build India. But will we really do it? Or stop with sound bites as we have done in the last decade?

> spillover effect to other industries I saw this happen when MPZs started in India. Tea stalls, auto-men, textiles, drivers, beauticians, doctors ... all came up near those MPZs. Everyone benefited because of the spillover effect.

> Indians, especially India born ones, can just be trusted to play it safe, focusing solely on their personal and company interests. Keeping company interest (& personal) above all else is the job description of a CEO. Everything else is a noise.

> They have no incentive to develop depth, and being wrong carries no cost, and truth plays little role in their success. When twitter came on the scene I was so happy because people put out something to develop depth. To learn. Now: say something to engage & move on. Sad.

Went to Maruti showroom today. It is so full. So many enquiries and many deliveries too. Dead economy? Or Loan economy?

> Opportunities live between fields of expertise This is true for startups, funding, and even for individual career development.

We tested out Q developer for generating quicksight dashboard & asking questions on the underlying data. Was so underwhelming. It didn't work at all. May be I should ask the team to re-use it

I was in library reading history and ambulimama novels. Or out in the streets playing chilli pandu or riding cycles Or climbing mango trees We didn't have TVs (came only when I was in 11th std) or any other gadgets We didn't have stray dogs too.

Sensex closed lower than Friday. I thot it will shoot up after Modi’s GST announcement What’s the reason it is down?

I disagree. All Cholas, Cheras, Pandiyas, and Pallavas were deeply religious. Their people were also religious. From history we know, they did well. What we should avoid: • religions that don't have coherent stories • delusional leaders that use religions for their good

I forgive that man. Because that is what Christ did. Even Ms Stains said the same thing about those who burnt her husband and two sons. Only Christianity teaches forgiveness. Forgiveness requires moral courage.

AI summaries increasingly shape what shoppers see first. If you are in-charge of eCommerce store, you should focus on: • Structured data • Clear product information • Trusted review From @WooCommerce & @klaviyo research report:

What is good for the goose should be good for the gander too If Sridhar ji can request some of the ministers to do what he is saying to others then probably lot of Indians will think about it.

Apathy is the greatest tool the evil uses

Believe the methodology, not the mythology. - Dr. Alan Weiss

> Powerful nations focus on strategy, not selfies Well said.

> Suffering of IT industry means suffering of entire urban India and white collar economy. Agreed. We will see how this pan out in India

Most Indians will do anything not to return back to India. They know India is attractive only from far. They will either move to UAE or Canada or to one of the countries that give remote visas. Who wants to experience Venice in Gurugram and a sea-swim in Bangalore

Why Indians hide their wealth. It is a chicken and egg problem.

Any Robert Redford fans? Loved "All is lost" Great plot brought to life by Redford. No dialogues made it even more intense. If you don't give up, life will send you an outstretched arm when all is lost. Great metaphor for life. What other movies should I watch?

China Owns the Present & Future China used imitation to become the global economy's backbone. In a homeschool project, my boys analyzed the EV market and conclude: China owns the future. Watch the video to find out why.

Finished "India's Money Monarchs" Liked it because: • It's India-related • Comprises all interviews (no opinion pieces) • Offers learning opportunities from masters • Showcases diverse styles and the evolution of these investors A must-read for Indian investors.

Like there should be genaihorrors Do you all agree?

Wants # Needs Wants are fueled by stories, and stories come from culture and connection and marketing, not from our actual physical or spiritual needs. Wants are primarily fro mimetic desires.

Making a point # Making an impact - Seth Godin

> The spiritual peace that the Christian community has is something that I envy > I was inspired by what I saw > I went and bought a Bible I have heard this is how the early church grew. Maybe this is the glimpse of those early times.

> I am inspired by Charlie Kirk's willingness to debate across the aisle and his unapologetic pride in both his faith and his politics. That kind of courage is something we should all aspire to. Same here. I pray for the same courage.

If we don't punish children, the law and life will punish them. How I approach punishing kids as part of my homeschooling 👇 1/7

Valuable insights. Wonder how this will translate for Indian IT firms

Surprise visit to Rameswaram Recently we visited Rameswaram as part of our S India trip. Here is my son's blog post on it:

Complexity is camouflage

Charlie Kirk on homeschooling Obviously I have watched so many videos of CK. As a homeschooling dad, this one interested me. I didn't know this about CK. Interesting.

> If a company wants to be in servicing cars of all brands and is doing well..... you cannot expect them to build cars. @ajayrotti asks a valid question. But the contextual question should be: If a company is servicing horse carriages, can they switch to servicing cars?

We’ve moved from maps of knowledge to direct conversations with knowledge - Arnold Kling

China: engineers country US: lawyers country India: bureaucrats country

In India, pizza gets home faster than police. And people are upset about delay of pizzas than abt police.

“When people stop talking and debating, they resort to violence, that’s why I have conversations with people.” -Charlie Kirk

Password rules for IRCTC. Undocumented in their site.

ICICI to get float from new current acts but won’t pay interest. Way to make more profit on the back of customers. And we will hear “customer experience” eloquently from everyone. New current acts shud maintain 1 lakhs but get no interest.

Is there a portal that lists all the shareholders meeting happening throughout the year (in India)? Would love to listen and learn.

Focused reading is a mental privilege

How many in India moved from chatgpt plus to chatgpt go? How is the performance of the model? What do you miss? What’s good (price of course)

World is always in tension betwern these three: • Athens (Reason) • Jerusalem (Revelation) • Rome (Power) We all chase one of the three all the time.

Everyday you learn something new. I have heard of 97% IT. Thought that was one of the crazy govt diktat. Only now I understand the nuance of the "97% income tax" in India

Will Europe remain just a museum piece for visiting history or will it transform itself into something to be recognized as a power in the world? Unless it finds it roots and leave all the "politically correct diversity" non-sense, it will deteriorate further.

Interesting that a report commissioned by French & German govt is in English.

I am a millionaire. Axis bank had 3 relationship managers for me! All to sell loans and credit cards Feels good to be chased 😜

Hate always comes to bite those not in the core. True in India. True in the US. Lots of Indians supported MAGA (probably Modi magic pushed it too) thinking it will not affect them. Now it hits them. Same thing happened in India too.
