@NsNitinsinha Got my Safari done at 15k kms and they charged Rs. 29k. They say that is how much it costs for Harrier and Safari.

Add the missing piece of the wealthy & entitled to this instance and we have the complete trifecta that sums up the constitution of our nation today - luxury, largesse & arrogance, education, exposure & feeling of progress (elderly gentleman) and troubled, struggling & still grinding hard.

Is this the reward for asking for basic civic sense?

There you go. We cited Russian imports as a master stroke and even defended the approach back in late 25. Looks like the negotiations have tilted in the favour of the US for now. Wonder if the refinery deal will add commensurate value to India in the coming years to account for losses from being able to leverage Russian oil.

@WeekendInvestng This is where tech like Bitcoin starts making sense

[Manhar Garegrat | Buidling Wallets & Custody @Garegrat]

Such a weird take. The ones who stayed back and contributed to the economy, weathered hell-like conditions over years, never got 401k like saving opportunities, don't get any of such benefit.

It's not the intelligent people we're short of, it's the lack of a conducive environment.

[Akshat Shrivastava @Akshat_World]

Imagine if we have to bring people like Sundar Pichai back. What needs to be done?

At the very least 3 things:-

1) 0 tax on "highly skilled" people returning to India.

2) Guaranteed social benefits in case of job loss.
And, PPP adjusted pay (at the very least)

3) Expedited government services with Police, government hospitals, schools, etc.

Countries like Thailand have something called: Thai Elite Visa. Something can be modeled.

Some would call this elitism. But, common sense dictates that you need to give priority to those who are adding more to our economy.

Best part? we don't even need additional money. Divert the freebie money on this-- the growth of our nation would sky-rocket.

PSA: You need a Chief of Staff.

I hired one last year:

My productivity doubled – and I’m having a ton more fun.

I regret not doing it years ago.

Here's a thread on how I did it:

Satoshi's #Bitcoin is a quantum application benchmark.

[Bitcoin Archive @BitcoinArchive]

Bitcoin devs just built a prototype to protect wallets from quantum attacks.

Even in worst case scenarios, Bitcoin could pause normal spending and still let users recover their funds using this new method.

Quantum defenses are already being built. 🚀

For the next few years were going to see some major AI gaffes (similar to the ones we saw in stable coins, crypto exchanges, smart contracts, etc).

AI, of course like all other tech will continue to thrive, but it will remain interesting to see where the delta between perception and reality settles for AI.

Unfortunately our systems fail to apprehend the real perpetrators, and ends up harassing the easier targets.

This is one thing mothers don’t get enough credit for. My ability to have silly/spontaneous fun with my kids is only possible bc my wife is a rock of stability. She creates the environment where this is even a possibility.

I frequently feel badly that it is her tireless work that allows me to reap the rewards of fun with my kids, which is easily the greatest joy of my life.

Did cash just move up the socio economic ladder?

[Samhita @Samhitab4u]

UPI everywhere. QR codes everywhere.

But here’s the surprising part:

Physical cash in circulation has more than doubled.
₹17.77 lakh crore (2016) → ₹40+ lakh crore (2026).

So the question is:

If everyone is paying digitally… who’s holding all this cash? 🤔
