So here’s something that just hit me hard,
and that too very pleasantly.
In Norway, getting groceries means driving to the “buttik” - sometimes in -10°C weather - just to grab 1 litre of milk. That’s normal life in one of the most “advanced” countries in the world.
Last night I landed back in India. Today I opened Zepto and Blinkit, linked my Amazon Pay, and ordered mangoes, shower gel, sanitiser, toothpaste, vegetables, fruits, milk, and a bunch of other essentials - 12 items in total. I tried this on both apps delivered everything to my apartment in less than 9 minutes. 😊
12 items. Under 9 minutes. To my door.
I sat there and just laughed, honestly. Because we Indians complain about India all the time - the traffic, the chaos, the noise. But we don’t realize what we already have until we leave and come back.
No one in the “developed” world has this. Not Norway, not anywhere I’ve been. This kind of convenience, this kind of hustle, this kind of “I want it now and I’ll have it now" -
that’s India. 🙌
So to every Indian who keeps comparing us down - go drive in the snow for milk first. Then tell me we don’t have it good. 🇮🇳🧡
Over 300,000 people die of drowning each year. In order to protect society, it is now illegal to consume or possess water.
Your government is also considering banning solid food, as it presents a needless choking hazard.
You are not an adult.
You are a baby.
Eat the baby food.
It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sun’s power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity
