Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:
Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.
Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.
You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.
Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.
Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.
As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.
Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu
In India, the unemployment rate for illiterates is 3%. For graduates aged 15 to 24, it's 40%. The more educated you are in this country, the more likely you are to be jobless. Not because education is worthless, but because it creates aspirations the economy struggles to absorb. 🧵👇
“Bro, we feed dogs so they don’t become aggressive and bite people.”
That’s not how canine behavior works.
Dogs have core behavioral needs: physical activity, mental stimulation, social interaction, and instinct-driven behaviors like exploring, sniffing, and foraging. When these needs aren’t met, theor energy gets redirected into problem behaviors such as barking, chasing, restlessness, and territorial aggression.
Earlier, these needs were naturally fulfilled. Dogs had to roam, search, and expend energy to find food, which regulated both their activity and behavior. You’ve replaced that with easy, concentrated feeding. The result isn’t calmer dogs, but dogs with unmet behavioral drives that now express themselves through chasing, barking, and guarding.
Feeding points don’t pacify dogs; they create territorial clusters, a well-known trigger for aggression and bite incidents.
And the bigger issue is the feeders' complete dismissal of human safety. Take this person, so convinced of his own “compassion” that he dumps food near a busy highway, where packs form and put drivers at risk. Try reasoning with him, and instead of showing compassion to your concerns, this compassionate man will come back with his NGO friends and threaten you.
My personal congratulations to Shehbaz Sharif & Asim Munir for the ceasefire. Mediation requires skill, but also a high risk taking appetite. Pakistan pulled both off. Like I said, never underestimate Pakistan, despite their propensity to titillate.
In the short term it is often the environment that shapes the player. But in the long run it is the players that shape the environment.

Constantly communicating on a need-to-know basis will never align everyone in the team with the company's vision.

In the hustle and bustle, it's easy to mistake motion for progress.
Yet, true purpose often reveals itself in moments of pause.
Take a step back and observe.
