@WHOOP So do you concede that your heart rate tracking was below par all this while?

Dear @Uber_India, I have no words to thank driver Kuldeep who brought me to IG airport T3 this morning in Maruti Ertiga number 2294.
As i was boarding the taxi, I could not find my keys and reading classes.
I panicked.
But Kuldeep waited patiently with yogic calm for me to look for them. I found the glasses in my hand bag but house keys seemed to have vanished.
Throughout the ride, I searched my bags desperately. No success .
As i got off the cab at T3, I checked the back seat to ensure that i did not leave anything else, which happens often.
As i was arranging my luggage on the trolley, Kuldeep walked up to me and handed over my house keys with a quiet smile.
He had found them under the seat.
Thank you Kuldeep, you are an asset not only for @Uber_India but a blessing for whoever comes in touch with you!

😂 Oh look — the final mask just hit the floor with a splash!

French water giant Veolia quietly bags the contract to supply 60% of Mumbai’s drinking water by 2030 (3,000 million litres a day).

At the exact same time, Mukesh Ambani — fresh from his 2025 blockbuster entry into the ₹30,000-crore packaged water market — rolls out his shiny new “Independence” and “Campa Sure” brands, with Amitabh Bachchan as brand ambassador and prices slashed to ₹5 for 250 ml and ₹15 a litre.

Ambani didn’t just “step in”. He charged in like he did with Jio — undercutting everyone, partnering with regional bottlers, and positioning himself as the saviour who’ll “democratise safe drinking water”.

“Independence” water.
From whom? The poor who used to fill buckets for free at the municipal tap?

The one thing a starving man can still drink to stay alive is now fully commodified — first by a French multinational taking over the taps, then by India’s richest man ready to sell you the replacement in plastic bottles when those taps inevitably run dry or become unaffordable.

Water mafia didn’t sneak in.
It was invited with red carpets, Fortune covers, and celebrity endorsements.

Next stop: ₹50 for 500 ml while the Dalit basti queue stretches for kilometres and Ambani’s market share hits 30%.

This isn’t development.
This is the last basic necessity being auctioned off while we clap for “affordable” branded water.

Wake up, India ‼️

Before the only thing poorer than your stomach is your tap — and the only one smiling is the man who owns both the problem and the “solution”.

@willahmed @WHOOP Looks like they have changed the sleep alghorithm. Earlier even if the sleep was crappy (with reduced REM+SWS), if I am on the bed for 8+ hours, I'd get 100%. Not anymore. I wonder if Bryan Johnson will be able to pull off months of 100% sleep going forward.

@celestialbe1ng But remember, nothing good happens after 2am.

@talmagejohnson_ 220-age. Shouldn't your max HR be near 200 considering your fitness, protocol and such?

@RichKettle07 Oversold by Pope and undersold by Bhogle.

[Arunkumar Kembhavi @Being_Babu]

@FitFounder Been meaning to say this for a while now. Your daily platitudes are making me sick.

Unfollowed.

Jal Jeevan Mission is changing lives: Umla is one of the 12 villages in Leh district of Ladakh, wherein every household now has assured tap water supply even in sub-zero temp. The happiness on the face of this little girl and her grandma, is the real satisfaction.

i wish world community was as invested in cancer as it is in covid 19. Almost 10 million people die from cancer annually. Discipline, being considerate to others, hygiene is all that takes to defeat Covid. But we have not been able to beat cancer for thousands of years.

[Arunkumar Kembhavi @Being_Babu]

It’s been nearly a week and i still can’t shake off the news of #IrrfanKhan's demise. Every cancer victim feels like a personal loss. कैसे हम बेज़ुबां

कल नौ बजे
तुम चाँद देखना,मैं भी देखूँगा,
और यूँ दोनो की निगाहें
चाँद पर मिल जाएँगी.

Folks, is there anything you can think of that may not happen during our lifetimes?

An epochal moment that defines our generation. A tale worthy of share with grandchildren. #CoronavirusLockdown #21daysLockdown #StayHomeIndia #CurfewInIndia
