A video claiming to show a worm inside deep-fried chicken from KFC outlet at Gaur City Mall, Greater Noida West, has gone viral, raising questions over food quality and safety. Taking cognizance, the Food Safety Department has launched an inspection at the outlet. Food Safety Officer Sarvesh Kumar said efforts are on to contact the complainant and a detailed check of food quality is underway.

August 29, Judgment Day.

It’s remarkable to be celebrating 35 years of TERMINATOR 2 and to look back at just how much innovation went into making this film.

Jim Cameron was asking everyone to go beyond what had been done before. ILM was pioneering visual effects technology to make the impossible possible. Stan Winston and his team were creating extraordinary practical effects. The stunt teams and crew were doing incredible work every single day.

I was lucky enough to step into the middle of all of that as the T-1000.

It changed my life.

35 years later, T2 is back in theaters and people around the world are still embracing this film.

What an incredible legacy to be a part of.

Happy Judgment Day.

The bad part about having discipline is every day looks the same.

The bad part about not having discipline is every year looks the same.

How expensive can an iPhone be?

In an unfortunate case, it cost three lives yesterday in Maharashtra.

Very sad.

We don’t realise how valuable our lives are when compared to any material things.

No Guts, No Glory - Very Interesting WhatsApp Forward

An Uber driver earns around ₹40,000 a month.

Now, imagine a person who owns a travel agency. He may earn significantly more than the Uber driver.

Interestingly, the Uber driver knows this.

He sees the travel agency owner making more money. He knows the owner has built something bigger than a job. Yet, he also understands that the journey is not the same.

The Uber driver has a relatively predictable income. He works, drives, and gets paid.

The travel agency owner has employees, customers, competition, rent, technology, marketing expenses, cash flow pressures and the constant fear of losing money.

But there is something else.

The risk is higher.
The responsibility is higher.
The uncertainty is higher.
And the potential reward is also higher.
That is the fundamental difference between earning a salary and building a business.
An employee can focus on doing his job well.
An entrepreneur has to create the job, find the customer, manage the people, handle the losses, survive the difficult months and still have the courage to keep going.

Everyone wants the reward of entrepreneurship.

But not everyone is willing to carry the risk that comes with it.

That is why we should never compare someone's income without understanding the risk, responsibility and uncertainty behind that income.

In India, millions dream of becoming entrepreneurs.

But entrepreneurship is not just about having a great idea.

It requires courage, conviction, patience and the ability to keep moving when things don't go according to plan.

The bigger the risk you are willing to take responsibly, the bigger the opportunity you may create.

Not everyone needs to become an entrepreneur.

But if you choose that path, remember:

No Guts, No Glory.

One of my early failures in business taught me the importance of focus.

We once entered the tooth powder category because the tax benefits made the opportunity look attractive. It turned out to be a wrong move. We did not have the right product quality, we had underestimated the marketing challenge, and the category itself was outside our natural area of strength.

That experience shaped a belief I have followed ever since: do a few things, but go deep. At Marico, we eventually defined our sphere around beauty and wellness. That clarity helped us become far more disciplined about where we would invest our time, talent and capital.

Entrepreneurs are constantly presented with new opportunities. The temptation is to ask, “How big can this become?” A better question is, “Do we have the capability to win here?”

Growth matters but unfocused growth can dilute an organisation very quickly. Sometimes saying no to an opportunity is what allows you to build a stronger business.

This isn’t just about NEET paper leaks. It’s a revolt against feeling generally suppressed in a democracy & the mainstream media’s brainwashing.

I submitted a requisition form for 3 49-inch curved ultrawide monitors.

The total cost was $4K.

Procurement rejected the request within 10 minutes.

They sent a note saying standard protocol limits IT staff to 2 24-inch flat panels.

I immediately drafted a 6-page manifesto on the dangers of peripheral tunnel vision.

I emailed it to the entire C-suite.

I explained that monitoring a dynamic cyber-threat landscape on flat screens causes severe visual fragmentation.

I said when a hacker attempts a brute-force entry, the malicious code moves horizontally across the network topography.

I told them that a 24-inch monitor physically clips the ends of the payload, making it invisible to the naked eye.

I invented a term called "lateral data leakage."

I claimed that without the parabolic curvature of an ultrawide display, our localized firewalls were essentially blind on the flanks.

I included a heavily doctored heat map that showed our headquarters completely engulfed in red warning zones.

The CFO walked into my office 10 minutes later looking terrified.

He asked if we were currently experiencing lateral data leakage.

I squinted at my tiny, inadequate flat screens and sighed.

I told him I couldn't be sure because my field of vision was artificially constrained by legacy hardware limitations.

I said I felt like a fighter pilot trying to fly through a thunderstorm while looking through a paper towel tube.

He immediately bypassed procurement and authorized the purchase on the corporate card.

The monitors arrived yesterday.

I mounted them in a seamless 180-degree arc on my desk.

It looks like the command deck of a spaceship.

I'm not using them to monitor network topography.

I'm using them to play Microsoft Flight Simulator in ultra-panoramic 4K resolution.

I currently have the autopilot engaged somewhere over the Swiss Alps.

I keep a spreadsheet open on the far-left edge just in case someone walks in.

When people ask why the screens show a highly detailed 3D rendering of a mountain range, I tell them it's a topographical representation of our cloud storage density.

They always nod in awe and slowly back out of the room.

Never let corporate policy stand in the way of your immersive gaming experience.

If you work in an air conditioned office where your job is mostly responding to emails and putting numbers in excel, but you are still complaining, you have completely lost the plot

People in your blood line would have killed each other for that job, instead of having to slave away with physical labor on a farm land or factory where there was no safety regulations

You literally won the ovarian lottery of being born in this age, and you still complain. Pathetic
