Almost 20 years ago, I applied for a job at @Google. I did not get through. I told myself I would probably never set foot inside a Google office.
A few days ago, Google invited me to its new Bengaluru office, Ananta, for the Google Developer Experts Summit - as a @GoogleDevExpert for Cloud AI.
I’m proud to be part of a community of around 100 experts in India in this prestigious GDE program. I often joke about being the “oldest person in the room,” and at this summit, I may well have been the oldest GDE who’s fast approaching 50!
Life does not always take us where we first hope to go. Sometimes, it brings us back to the same dream through a path we could never have planned - more experienced, more prepared, and with a deeper purpose.
A great reminder - Never Say Never & Keep learning. Keep building. Keep showing up.
Kudos to the parents who raised a kid like this 🚨
A Class 6 student -
"Sir, you may call me Gen Z or Gen Alpha but I want to say one thing to Abhijeet Dipke. He was making fun of Modi ji's accent when he said 'friends.' When Modi ji was studying, english wasn't as widely emphasised as it is today. Now that I'm studying, I can speak fluent English.
Abhijeet Dipke studied at Boston University. Make him sit one on one with me and he won't be able to pronounce the words I can pronounce fluently. He won't be able to speak fluent English with me for even one minute. Does that make him dumber than me? If I use this platform to abuse PM Modi, he will call me the real Gen Z or the real Gen Alpha who knows the reality of society. But if I support Modi ji, he will call me an 'Andhbhakt' and will make me feel like a culprit. This is what real dictatorship looks like."
Even small kids know CJP's reality. You need to be dumb like insta influencers to believe cjp fought for students 🙏
#VillageCookingChannel Thaatha confirmed they earn ₹11 lakhs per month through YouTube. I wondered how this troupe stayed together without internal conflicts because money can change things.
But I just found out they’re all Thaatha’s grandchildren and family members. Nice!! 👏🏻
