Some of y'all know I host quizzes for friends. In 2023, I picked it up again as a hobby - the old-fashioned way: PPTs!
Between '23-'25, I made just 4 editions. 1 every 6 months. Each took ~40 hours to put together.
So naturally, in today's day & age, I had to build something 🧵

If you're a budding quizmaster or someone who hosts quizzes for friends, I'd love for you to give it a spin.

If you're an avid quizzer or just a budding enthusiast: I keep hosting quiz nights. If you'd like to join one, drop me a reply.

[Digvijay S Mahra @agesBack]

And it doesn't stop there. Coz who doesn't love picking a quiz night apart?
Open the summary after the last question. See how the leads changed hands & time-to-buzz stats!
Built this after my friends wanted to do a post-game analysis following the 2nd quiz hosted on the app.

I'm not a Congress supporter, not even remotely, but I think it's important to acknowledge moments like this regardless of which party was in power.

In 2005, students at JNU greeted Dr. Manmohan Singh with black flags and slogans over his economic policies. When the university issued notices to the protesters, he reportedly asked that no action be taken against them, recognising their right to peaceful protest.

What's even more striking is how he began his speech that day. He quoted Voltaire: I may disagree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.

That is the kind of democratic principle we should expect from every government, regardless of its political ideology.

it is important to understand what this relic is trying to do here.

India scores very highly on Hofstede’s Power Distance Index. This means cultural acceptance of hierarchy in which unequal power distribution is expected. The way this acceptance is enforced it through deference and "respect".

There is not mechanism for power transfer back to the young from the old. she is not saying that the old people fucked this country up she is saying that the old people should be respected even as they fuck up the country because it is our culture. Notice she says "genuine" grievances, delivering judgement even at a time like this. There is no disagreeing with these poeple, they had all the power in the world and they used it consolidate their power.

Reject these social norms. You cannot beat this regressive system from the inside.

actually Bangalore lost its cool no matter what the weather folks say...

The daytime max barely moved since the 1980s. But it's hotter than 30C for MUCH longer

Heat stress lasts longer: used to get cooler by 4:27 PM → now HOT till 5:54 PM

The night used to cool down below 22°C and we used to recover — now hours per night under 22°C — shrank from 3½ hours to 48 minutes!

No wonder I'm cranky and exhausted in the mornings!

The potholes on our only entry and exit road have been in a severely deteriorated condition for over a year now. This stretch is already under immense pressure due to haphazard parking on one side and the complete absence of a walkable footpath, forcing pedestrians to walk on the road.
The current state of the road, combined with deep potholes, has made it extremely unsafe and inconvenient for both pedestrians and vehicles.

The last asphalting of this road was carried out in December 2020. Since then, the road has deteriorated significantly, with potholes emerging due to what appears to be substandard work.

We request your urgent intervention to address and fix this issue at the earliest. The situation has become so critical that residents are now considering pooling funds to temporarily fill these potholes themselves.

We need your urgent help ma'am 🙏🏽

@fartagaz @SheevTalks Who are you?

[Digvijay S Mahra @agesBack]

@jasonfried @JoshuaKushner Even this quote by Jony Ive resonated so deeply.

[Digvijay S Mahra @agesBack]

It took ~$34B for Mumbai, funded by the state govt, central govt, Japanese investors, ADB (Asian Development Bank) & the Mumbai city. It took 10+ years across several govts. It’s a herculean task that can go through only via “planning” & “accountability”.

I also am puzzled about why the political leadership is not showing the political urgency to fix our city and make it world class. It doesn’t take more than a focus in terms of budgetary allocation n execution. A billion dollars needs to be ring-fenced to do this @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @PriyankKharge

Finally some light at the end of the tunnel for Mumbai after several yrs of work across different govt. I hope Bengaluru gets its act together too w/ “planning” & “accountability”.
Tho I don’t see it happening for the next 10 yrs (it took Mumbai that long)

I’d be stoked to see my usage patterns & breakdowns compared to others - by geography, industry, and use cases like writing, coding, or strategy plus total yearly tokens used - all ranked percentile wise. #AmITheAskHole 😀

[Digvijay S Mahra @agesBack]

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if @OpenAI rolls out a Spotify Wrapped-style recap for its users. Especially in tech where AI-savvy Devs/PMs are meant to stand out and we all love a bit of posturing ;) - it’ll definitely keep the power users engaged and loyal to their platform.

[Deedy @deedydas]

OpenAI just dropped the top 30 customers who've used 1T+ of their tokens.

@keerthisiddeshw I cannot believe this. Somehow I just cannot envision you being NOT enthu or motivated before any run! 😄
You are always ever-smiling Keerthi.

@_shankarganesh @irishdrug1511 Lmk what works for you @shankarkganesh
Eager to find out!

[Digvijay S Mahra @agesBack]

@_shankarganesh @irishdrug1511 Reddit has not worked for me. Too many builders plus their guidelines are quite strict to conduct a survey, forget advertising.
