NO ADULTERATION,
STRAIGHT FROM THE ❤️

There are some sensible ppl who have kept this Protest Alive & Meaningful.

This 5 minutes video will change your life, the way you think, your perspective towards Young India ,

"When I woke up in my hut this morning and checked my phone, it felt as though this govt had resorted to complete authoritarianism." as he spoke Honesty n Sincerity reflected on his face."

"In a democratic System, Not Arrogance but Dialogue must be the way, whose doors open on both the Sides, like UPA did with Anna, Indira ji did with Sonam's Father & Britishers did with Mahatma."

"There is a word in the Constitutional Oath "Garima (Self-respect), One's Dignity, Dignity, A person's dignity should not be compromised Sir." he was filled with Anguish.

"What were they asking for, 200 yards of flat in Lutyens Delhi ? An MP seat or a Ministry in Modi's Cabinet..? They're just asking for accountability, asking to Fix the crumbling education system, with responsibility." his voice trembles as he spoke.

-----------------------------------
I was completely shattered while writing this, listening to him tears flow from my eyes as I write this with a heavy heart.
-----------------------------------

"In a democracy, holding a dissenting view is not a crime; it is a fundamental right granted to us by the Indian Constitution."

स्वप्न झरे फूल-से,
मीत चुभे शूल-से,
लुट गये सिंगार सभी बाग़ के बबूल से,
और हम खड़े-खड़े बहार देखते रहे।
कारवाँ गुज़र गया, गुबार देखते रहे!

नींद भी खुली न थी कि हाय धूप ढल गई,
पाँव जब तलक उठे कि ज़िन्दगी फिसल गई,
पात-पात झर गये कि शाख़-शाख़ जल गई,
चाह तो निकल सकी न, पर उमर निकल गई,
— नीरज

If this student's story fails to touch you, fails to shake you to your very core, then something is missing within you; something inside you has died: your humanity, your conscience.

"I'll figure it out" is something that I say or internally think all the time.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

Agree in this rapid evaluation times, being nimble and adapting to changes is far more important then sticking to strategy playbook

[scott belsky @scottbelsky]

Adaptability > Strategy

During times when “the law of displacement speed” kicks in, how many great ideas fail because leaders aren’t willing to make the tough decision to change strategy fast enough?

I am seeing many passionate founders and promising startups (and some larger product teams) struggle to change things up, as if such shifts in strategy are an admission of weakness rather than an indication of self-awareness and boldness. Companies are particularly proud of resilient strategies that stay consistent over time, but should consistency be the goal during a Cambrian explosion?

Playbooks cannot be sacred cows. On the contrary, they expire quickly when you’re working at the edge of what’s next. Sunk cost fallacy is a fatal blow during periods like the current platform shift to AI. I am reminded of an old leadership lesson around the difference between technical challenges and adaptive challenges. Technical challenges have a solution, you just need to change your technology. In contrast, with adaptive challenges YOU have to change. The world needs more adaptive leaders today.

Be very open to switching it up…

@Shankar_Srinath Just want to tell you that I enjoy all your podcast and keep doing it.

[Andy Mukherjee @andymukherjee70]

@BDUTT’s piece, especially this part, had me nodding. Just today I realised that Ashish Vaswani (of the Transformer paper fame) is from BIT Mesra.

True that

i think it will be extremely difficult to live in any non-coastal city.

I don't go to the beach every day, but knowing that I can gives me so much happiness.

What a beautiful ad a couple of decades back. Very futuristic and so much relevant to todays world.

[Karthik 🇮🇳 @beastoftraal]

I don't recall seeing this particular ad from Idea, back in the early 2000s. While I do remember this famous tune being an integral part of Idea Telecom (back then) advertising, this particular ad seems to have escaped my attention. The creative device is really, really 1/6

[Boobesh @Pathivukal]

@HariPyt @Pickyourtrail If it is 1 then you need to have a incremental slider for the sales team. If it is 2 then you need to revise your sales target. If not both then it's a thalaivar movie release days

Parenthood is providing healthy food /life, be an example of how to behave, care for each other and be happy. Have there back when need. That's all we can do, everything else depends on what they observe and learn on their own.
