As a @Penn alum, I am disappointed but not surprised. The administration has pretty consistently been incompetent and often sided with donors above all.
I can't speak for the other two schools but I led two organizations and conferences at Penn between 2007 and 2009 and had to rescind invites to two prominent guests from India (all because another donor to Wharton thought it wasn't good for the school to allow them as guests and in one case a small group of students from a different department thought the speaker might be polarizing).
Keep in mind - this was after we sought their approval to invite these guests in the first place even though these are student-led conferences.
The two guests happened to be
1/ Narendra Modi (before he was elected PM of India)
2/ Mukesh Ambani
This continues to happen.
To be clear, I love my classmates, my alums and got a lot out of school. But it is high time the @penn administration is called out for their actions

I am worried my Twitter is morphing into a @KhyaalFamily appreciation account.
Well organized international tours with like minded people FTW.

If you’ve crossed 40, then this is your absolute checklist which you must ensure in your life now :
1. Preserve your muscle. Now is the time. Focus on being stronger rather than leaner. Do resistance training.
2. Be more protein centric. Think of protein sources in every meal. That’s the only way to complete your protein intake.
3. Cut back on Alcohol. It’s killing you and it’s time to be responsible.
4. Monitor your blood markers time to time. They reflect your lifestyle & a wake up call for you. Work on fixing them.
5. Walk a lot. As much as you can. Find excuses to move, whether it’s taking a call, stairs every time or play with your kid.
6. Stop sacrificing sleep. Sleep heals you, replenishes you & fortifies your defences against illness.
7. Lastly, time to check on your circle. Late night parties, booze, smoke & junk every weekend. If that’s you, then it’s time to change it. For the sake of you. For the sake of your family.
Time to wake up.
- I applied to Bloomberg with a referral long back.
- After some days, I got a rejection mail.
- After a month my referrer checked on me and I told him that I got rejected.
- He went and asked the recruiter for feedback.
- The recruiter said there was some confusion on their end and they hadn't even seen the resume.
- Some days later, I got an interview invite.
Moral of the story, apply with a referral. If possible, try getting a referral from somebody who can actually vouch for you and go the extra mile.
Copy Paste may cost TCS 1,750 crores in fines!!
A US Jury has asked TCS to pay $210mn (about 1,750 cr INR) in fines for allegedly accessing code and trade secrets of a competitor in the US. Apparently, TCS employees accessed and shared content of the manual and actual source code of US IT Services company, DXC, in order to help their BANCS team build a competing platform.
Copy pasting content and sharing it over email is a common practice in many IT firms, with most teams unaware of implications of copyright and IP. This case may be a wake up call for IT service companies to educate and train their employees.
On a related note, the client, that TCS was building this platform for, Transamerica, seperately cancelled their $2bn deal with TCS in June 2023.
So no client + a court case to fight.

How to spot high agency people:
1. Weird teenage hobbies - Teenage years are the hardest time to go against social pressures. If they can go against the crowd as a teenager, they can go against the crowd as an adult.
2. Energy distortion field - If you meet with them when you're tired and defeated, you leave the room ready to run a marathon on a treadmill with max incline. Low agency people do the opposite.
3. Golden question - If you're in a 3rd world prison cell and had to call someone to get you out, who would you call? That's the highest agency person you know.
4. You can never guess their opinions - The boxer that writes poetry. The advertiser obsessed with the history of war. The beauty queen who reads Nietzsche. If their beliefs don't line up with their stereotypes, they've exercised agency.
5. Immigrant mentality - If they've moved from their hometown, that's a good sign. If they've moved from their home country, that's an even greater sign.
It takes agency to spot you're in the wrong place, resourcefulness to operationalise a move and a growth mindset to start from zero in a new location.
6. They send you niche content - Low agency people look at the social engagement of content before deeming its quality. High agency people just look at the content. They spot upcoming trends very early.
7. Mean to your face but nice behind your back - The social incentives are to be nice to people's faces and gossip behind their backs. To do the opposite requires agency because they're swimming against the social tide.
