My goal for 2025: to meet as many people as possible and to try to be helpful to them without expecting anything in return. This has worked for me — not just karmically, but also professionally and financially.
Happy New Year. DMs are open.
Washington & Beijing worry that if India can grow at nearly 8% a year amid global wars, $100 oil, trade tariffs & El Niño drought, what might its growth rate be when the clouds clear? My @firstpost column https://t.co/NTmVsqAxB7
Nearly all major forecasters, including the IMF, ADB and World Bank, have recently raised their growth forecasts for India to above 7% for this year AND next. Remarkable in itself - even more so when viewed against India’s recent performance. (1/n)
Fighting propaganda in India is becoming a full-time job for patriots.
Perceived reality is changing among groups of neighbours, irrespective of economic or educational status.
Perceptions of unrest, vote chori, and SIR being illegal and unconstitutional have captured the imagination of many influencers, who use this to gain followers and views or help the deep state portray unrest to the West in this otherwise flourishing democracy (albeit with its own issues).
Similar global optics generally follow foreign interference, the loss of democratically elected governments, and instability where governments are toppled and replaced with random knick-knacks.
Optics are already present. Hate and racism against Indians on this platform are visible and unabashed.
Have seen the Arab Spring and witnessed the changes in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal. What follows such propaganda and optics is generally not pretty for a country's residents. Hoping all ends well.
We have firm level style guides, practice sheets, KM, automated review agents (in pilot), playbooks, local processing of DD room, BD all built or in process of being built via AI. It works equivalent to 5 resources. The key is to feed it the way you would feed a A1, with systems and processes.
A family member has Down syndrome. They have this magical god gifted way of becoming the most loved human for everyone around them. I dare say he is the most popular and most loved person in the family ♥️ and while his parents are not around, probably 50+ humans will love to take care of him should need arise :) its a privilege to have him with us.
You get what you compound for. Neuroplasticity is such an epic concept. Whatever we repeat is what we become. Repeat excellence and become excellent.
Spend your time very carefully. Your daily routine decides the long term outcome eventually.
Daily actions create habits
Goodnight on this note
Have heard such moving reviews of #HanumanAnsh. Hope to watch it soon. So happy that such movies are being made. Kudos and congratulations to Dr. Visual Chaturvedi ji @filmervishal and the entire crew of the film. Jai Sita Ram. Jai Shri Ram.
2014 India had a large majority of people below the poverty line.
2029 India will not.
This changes things, poor might not be the focus of elections anymore.
For generations, we've pushed the limits of what flight can do.
Yet moving goods still comes with a compromise. The sea takes weeks and flying costs too much. Somewhere along the way, the world got comfortable with waiting.
Today, we announce Eureka, our first aircraft. It takes off and lands on water, and it's designed to turn "in a few weeks" into "on the evening flight."
Break the surface.
I'd like to believe a citizen on a 16day hunger strike warrants a conversation with the government whose actions brought him to that place. I say ‘a citizen’ because perhaps any citizen fighting for a cause, for students, would expect the same. Acknowledgment at some level of govt. I cannot imagine a person who wants harm to come to Mr Wangchuk. I don’t see why a mere dialogue is this hard. As a citizen, I don’t pretend to understand any sort of political manoeuvring. As a citizen, I’ve certainly been proved wrong more than I have been right. Political strategy, alliances aside, as a citizen…you cannot dispute what he is fighting for. Younger citizens. Happy to be called naive, simplistic, or ignorant. But I see students crying for help, a citizen on a hunger strike, and I request my govt to engage in dialogue.
