@onlymadhoo 7h half life iirc for caffeine, so dosage also matters. I sleep by 9, so I avoid beyond 2pm

@pkedrosky Regularly use pocket. I can't bear the switching costs of reading something useful right when I encounter it. And since a lot gets shared on scroll it and lose it apps like whatsapp, Pocket is a quick save action away.

Just need a habit of opening pocket regularly when not busy

@PythiaR .@raythejourney at Bajaj auto. Worked with him at Unilever and every other finance partner was a let down since. Brilliant at framing choices and tradeoffs for marketing and growth and let you make the call

@JamieKay22 Make 47 into 50. 50 is nice and cuddly. Fun for multiplication too! (100/2).

What's the price you say? 3. Fine, 28, pay 3. What're you now? 25? Cuddly again! (100/4).

50+25 = 75

We believe @onlymadhoo & his team are on a path to create a $100B payment platform over the next decade.

We were privileged to write the first VC cheque in the company and we continue to invest in the company in every single round since then.

So my new theory on covid spread is inverted U shaped sensitivity to density and people's interactions. If mask is quasi vaccine, then a sneeze in a dense slum acts like that (inversely cubed proportional exposure to radius). Thus high sero load and asymptomatic cases in India.
