All of you hating on Argentina, we Irish understand you & empathise with you. But let us do our fucking thing tonight, yeah? Hating England is our national pastime. The Argentinians never stole our land and starved us to death. Vamos, vamos, Argentina!
You better release shows of Project Hail Mary on IMAX. I'm not interested in 4DX.
It is an IMAX film & must have shows in IMAX.

7 Years Ago I Took My First Flight In Life and I Regret it..
January 2nd, 2019. 6:05 AM: Mumbai to Delhi.
My first time on a plane. A blurry, overexposed photo of someone who had no idea what he was doing.
I had just left India's top MNC. Turned down an offer from a leading global bank. Left my family in Mumbai.
All to join a startup where my first question was: "Are we funded? How do we make money?"
My family didn't even know what YouTube was.
I joined @TechWiser as a writer.
Not a video person. A writer.
I had absconded from my IT job, so no experience letter.
Mrinal Saha's response? "What will I do with an IT experience letter? No worries."
No credentials. Just trust.
And this 7 years journey hasn't been rosy gold. A year after I joined TechWiser, in 2020, COVID hit.
I was Stuck at home. Slow growth for 3 years. But, there again I took that flight back to Delhi, made videos and until one pitch changed everything: "Android guy tries iPhone for the first time."
It's many of the banger videos we have done at TechWiser. But it was the first video where from idea-excution, it was all ME.
7 years later:
250K subscribers โ 2.5 Million Regular Writer โ Video Producer
30 Million monthly traffic
Working on 3 sleeper channels. Will talk about it later.
But, an IT guy coding by day to shooting content by night. I regret it because...
I should have taken that flight SOONER.
To everyone choosing between the "safe job" and the "what if" - some people will believe in you before you believe in yourself.
Thank you, @TheMrinalSaha, for trusting a guy with no experience letter and a blurry photo to being the face.
Here's to 7 years of chaos, growth, and becoming. ๐๐
