@Spine_AI hi, there are tasks which i had started over 200 hours ago and not yet completed. tried to stop but the button is not doing anything and the credit utilised have been completed wasted. I have mailed the complete error to no response.

[Dwarkesh Bagri @Dwarkeshb]

@zomato sent a mail to say they are sorry but they arent going to do anything about it.
Not a single call to me or the person it supposed to be delivered to. Just refusal to acknowledge the problem or theft. Even after holding Zomato Gold
@jagograhakjago

[Dwarkesh Bagri @Dwarkeshb]

@zomato cheating customers, without even the decency to talk to them. Even if you pay for Zomato Gold. Pasting all conversation overs the mail for failed delivery which Zomato doesn't even acknowledge for everyone to see and move over to other apps @Swiggy @jagograhakjago

[Dwarkesh Bagri @Dwarkeshb]

I got a call saying i wanted to cancel the order when i refused to cancel within a couple of minutes it showed delivered. I just spoke to my sister she said it wasn't delivered. This is not acceptable. @jagograhakjago

Whats the point of booking and reaching before time if this is done on a regular basis. Would be happy to pay if service is assured as it is we are paying for seats as well after booking the ticket. Might as well pay for this too!

@DGCAIndia @RamMNK Its become a standard practice by @IndiGo6E to harass senior citizens for wheelchairs even after prebooking the same online which in itself takes a long time!

[Dwarkesh Bagri @Dwarkeshb]

My parents are traveling to Delhi from Kolkata today have reached airport well before time and are still waiting for the wheelchairs and now the flight is in an hour, after repeated pleading they are now walking towards the gate.

In today's films, it's nearly impossible to see a sequence where a complex topic is being discussed, testing the intellectual reasoning of each character. Not only that, but the challenge also lies in integrating such a scene into the screenplay and making it engaging, especially when you don't rely on heavy background music for elevation, and the language itself isn't that simple.

Even if a filmmaker manages to include such raw sequences in a film, it's doubtful whether the current audience, with their short attention span, will be able to watch it. And if a few people do, there's always the risk of it falling victim to the cancel culture.

One pattern I've noticed in happy people:

They do not react; they respond.

Never react; always respond - responding means thinking before (re)acting.

Stoicism is what helped me in doing that:

When faced with situations beyond your control, your instinct often leads you to react emotionally, which is a natural human response.

However, Stoicism invites you to step back and respond rather than react.
― This means consciously choosing your attitude and actions to conserve energy for things within your sphere of influence.

Separate what you can control from what you cannot.

The key lies in understanding that your power lies not in external circumstances but in how you respond to them.

Pause, ponder, then proceed.

It's not just about controlling reactions but cultivating a mind that sees beyond the immediate.

Start your journey by delving into the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus, where you'll find the keys to a life of balance and purpose.

Study them and watch your world transform through the lens of thoughtful response.

Start with this reading list to delve deeper:

• "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius - A personal diary of the Roman Emperor, offering insights into managing one's emotions and responding to life's challenges with wisdom.

• "Letters from a Stoic" by Seneca - A collection of letters that provide practical advice on how to maintain calm and rationality in the face of adversity.

• "Enchiridion" by Epictetus - A short manual of Stoic ethical advice; this text emphasizes the distinction between what is in our control and what is not.

Each of these texts offers valuable insights for you, particularly in learning how to respond thoughtfully and deliberately rather than reacting on impulse.

One of my favourite moments in #Interstellar (which I caught at a recent Chennai screening) is when Cooper realises at the end that he isn't the hero of the story, as he'd self-importantly assumed. "I thought they chose me. But they didn't choose me. They chose her!" It's a hero figure recognising that the burden of 'saving the world' isn't on him... It's on his daughter. He's simply a facilitator, a travelling messenger.

It ties in wonderfully with a line he says earlier about having children and how parents become the ghosts of their children's past. Cooper, with his achievements, becomes an accessory, a ghost of Murph's titanic achievement. When Murph exclaims, "You're my ghost!" that's why it hits hard. The flitting hand of a watch, is actually the invisible guiding hand of a parent, rooting for his daughter's success.

Nolan, across his films, seems to enjoy questioning the nature of heroism. His filmography is full of flawed protagonists (save perhaps for Dunkirk); the films may be grand and sweeping, but the central individuals are fascinatingly ordinary and often selfish to a fault.

Kader Khan, Johnny Lever and Govinda put on a show like no other in a Harmesh Malhotra film that's as integral to the legend of Govinda as any of the actor's films with David Dhawan. A terrific comedy with an often overlooked commentary on class.

Happy 25th to Dulhe Raja — which also gave us an essential 90s earworm in Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare, where Raveena and Govinda pulled off dance steps like these with aplomb!
