A similar story, from Howard Marks:

"I tell my father’s story of the gambler who one day hears about a race with only one horse in it, so he bet the rent money. Halfway around the track the horse jumped over the fence and ran away."

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Captain Smit Machchhar is a HERO.

In the face of the gravest danger and despite being seriously injured, he showed immense courage and an unwavering resolve to protect the lives of others.

His valour helped save hundreds of lives and avert a great tragedy.

India is proud of Captain Machchhar.

Praying for his speedy recovery, renewed strength and good health.

One of the early things we did at Zoho was build our own cloud infrastructure to run our applications. From databases, identity and messaging to search, storage and compute, we built it ourselves rather than depending on AWS or Google Cloud.

We have opened this infrastructure to developers as Catalyst, our serverless platform. What started as a way to extend Zoho is now being adopted by developers outside the Zoho ecosystem as well.

We are investing heavily in Catalyst and making it free for students, so they can build and deploy real applications without worrying about infrastructure costs.

Our goal is to give developers the infrastructure to turn their ideas into real products.

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon!

It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback.

Here’s a look at the benchmarks:

About the whole GDP controversy in India - I would like to use analogy in China.

Named after the Chinese Premier - Li Keqiang Index

He said GDP can be faulty but 3 things give accurate direction
1. Electricity generation
2. Bank lending volume
3. Railway freight loading

[Bhavish Aggarwal @bhash]

As India's electrification ramps, today we’re setting a new benchmark for the industry. More than just a metal body with a fancy name😉

Introducing S1Z!

46160 LFP Bharat Cell. 301 km IDC range.

Intro price of ₹79,999! Book here: https://t.co/cD8bm6y08Z

Deliveries in Dec.

The industry has always treated affordable scooters as stripped-down products: less range, less technology, more compromise. We’ve done the opposite.

We built the cell, motor, vehicle, software, every critical component inhouse. And we’re passing that tech advantage to the Indian customer.

The new benchmark is here⚡

You don’t need to know exactly what the future holds to know that some people will handle it better than others.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Something we're seeing pop up more and more. Countries around the world making active efforts to get their people to invest in domestic equities. In this case, India is making new incentives for Indians living abroad https://t.co/SKbyAJWMOW

[Prasanna Viswanathan @prasannavishy]

An important driver behind the shift is the introduction of a 10% weight for “contribution to GDP” in the 16th FC devolution formula, a criterion aimed at rewarding states with stronger economic performance. Karnataka, with its outsized contribution to national output via services, tech etc benefits significantly from this change.

Quick take on the budget for #IndiaEdition

[Tar ⚡ @itsTarH]

Budget is actually pretty decent if you read the main document & analyse sector/scheme wise spends

They are able to do this much while maintaining & reducing the fiscal deficit

+ giving GST/personal income tax cuts

STT will hurt exchanges
Govt treats F&O just like sin goods

Themes are clear: push on manufacturing, MSME and employment

Below is breakdown of scheme/theme wise spend trends

@SEVA_NBPDCL @NitishKumar @MinOfPower @EnergyBihar @BiharEnergy Thank you for expediting the request.

Yes, we were contacted by officers for meter installation and liaisoning with them as per availability.

[Aashutosh Vatsa @aashutoshvatsa]

The @SEVA_NBPDCL JE are closing ticket without attending the issue or providing any reason for it. See pic.

No fear of law or performance or accountability.

State of affairs under our CM @NitishKumar @MinOfPower @EnergyBihar @BiharEnergy

[Aashutosh Vatsa @aashutoshvatsa]

@SEVA_NBPDCL @NitishKumar @MinOfPower @EnergyBihar @BiharEnergy @SEVA_NBPDCL nothing has happened.

I am sure, I will use this documentation to sue you in court for failing to provide government services within stipulated time.

[Aashutosh Vatsa @aashutoshvatsa]

@SEVA_NBPDCL @NitishKumar @MinOfPower @EnergyBihar @BiharEnergy Please advise what is the status now?

A grown man tossing his opponent’s King who’s half his age into the crowd. Real classy, Hikaru. The hate Magnus and Hikaru have for India’s Gukesh is just unreal.
