My favourite in this region is mangalore and udupi. Clean, coastal air, good food, fun to cruise around and most importantly civic minded population

So you guys don't do what you do towards governance advocacy. Got it

[Streets Of TamilNadu @TN_Streets]

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to archive this page and sign off.

The 2026 election result has affected me deeply. I genuinely believe Thiru. M.K. Stalin was one of the finest political leaders India has seen in recent times.

I feel emotional even typing this. In his post-election message, he said he worked hard beyond his limits. I have felt it too. There was genuine intent behind this government. What happened feels unfair to me on many levels.

I also feel guilty wondering if some of our posts unintentionally contributed to anti-incumbency beyond what we ever intended.

I started this page only out of hope for better urban infrastructure and cities that meet global standards. Criticism always came from that place.

Right now, I don’t think I can continue this in the right state of mind. So I’m archiving this page and taking a pause.

Thank you to everyone who supported and cared. ❤️

@VamsiChandran You should stop doing what you do

Also imp to note through my own personal observation in tirunelveli and Kumbakonam Iyengar families during grandfather's gen marriages were more likely fixed early on most likely within immediate families along rural boundaries
Not the case when urban migration happens

[A.Iyengar @akyajur]

Maybe urban Madras but not in rural areas. In Kumbakonam, Tirunelveli, Srirangam I have seen that my grandfather's gen got married by early 20s for males. My father's generation in my fam was the first to experience urban migration and had a late marriage.

[Śrutaṃ me gopāya @shrutammegopaya]

@Meghvahana among TBs marriages have traditionally been fairly late for males for 100 years or so

@pathaspati This should be your last worry noh? For me more than the girl, getting the right family is the key. One of my cousins is struggling due to the girl's family being a pain in the ass
So I think the more we talk prior, better I will understand the family dynamics and context

Using AI to write about how AI is affecting his industry is so funny though

[The Spiritual Trader @ArindamPramnk]

8 years in IT and layoffs no longer feel like breaking news. They feel like a pattern

When I started my career in TCS 8 years ago, layoffs felt rare and shocking. Today, they feel structural.

The recent Oracle layoffs are a powerful reminder of how fast the industry is changing. Reports suggest 20,000–30,000 employees were impacted globally, with around 12,000 roles affected in India alone — one of the largest workforce reductions in recent tech history.

What makes this situation different is not just the scale but the reason

These layoffs are happening even when companies are profitable, as organizations invest billions into AI infrastructure and automation to improve efficiency.

Being part of the IT industry for nearly a decade (and working in large-scale environments like TCS), I’ve seen workforce cycles — bench periods, restructuring phases, and optimization drives.

So layoffs themselves are not new.

But AI-driven efficiency at this scale is new.

Today, one skilled professional equipped with AI tools can deliver output that previously required multiple team members. That shift is redefining hiring strategies, project delivery models, and long-term workforce planning.

This doesn’t mean the IT industry is shrinking.
It means the rules of survival are changing.

From my experience, one thing is becoming clear:

Upskilling is no longer optional.
It is protection.
It is leverage.
It is survival.

For anyone in IT today — whether 2 years or 15 years into your career — the question is not Will change happen?

The question is:
Are we evolving fast enough to stay relevant?

Want to know how scared Dubai really is?
​
Don’t watch oil prices.
Don’t watch the stock market.
​
Watch used car listings.
​
In expat economies, the car is the most liquid significant asset people own.
​
When fear hits, people don’t just panic — they prepare to exit.
​
Exiting means selling the car first. That takes days.
Not the apartment. That takes months.
​
Every Gulf crisis follows the same pattern:
Supply spikes before demand collapses.
​
We’re seeing early signals of this at Cars24 UAE right now.
​
The used car market is the most honest real-time measure of expat confidence in the world.
​
It just doesn’t have a Bloomberg ticker.

Dubai islands, dubai south, Arjan heights are prime spots rn. Wait patiently, park your money and invest. Won't get an opportunity like this in the near future.

My dad was lucky to have bought properties back in 2009&2011. I didn't get that lucky but waiting patiently now

[Bloomberg @business]

Dubai’s image as a safe and stable international financial hub is being tested by the war in Iran. If Asia’s wealthy decide to park part of their fortune elsewhere, Singapore could feature in their calculus. https://t.co/S9S82DHDwx

[Girish Gekko ગિરનારવાલા Resurgent @BudFox660]

Let me give you all a history lesson using MarineBharat reach. The symbiosis between India and the Greater Arab-Levant region. Anyone can do a wiki deep dive on their time but let’s go to the 1960-80s era.

The Gulf states are establishing independence. Tribes from the entire gulf are communicating as new found energy has become transformational. Yet they don’t want to trust the men who once yielded control over their lands, to also have control over valuable state resources beyond energy.

As the infrastructure for these things did not exist. India helped build that dream for them in more ways than one. Dive in your wiki. The symbiosis also helped India beyond remittances. The cultural exchange thats been happening for thousands of years before you with countless state, exists today with the region at its prime. And you mock that?

The civilizational exchange of my place is better than yours happens everywhere, UK/UAE, Thai/Cambodia, US/Canada. Give me a break with that shit bro. Know who your allies are. And play the game right, otherwise you’re a liability.

Anyone who WANTS to understand the world today, but finds the concept so conflicting and confusing with no place to start, should buy the game Sid Meier’s Civilization 6. (There is a 7, but 6 is better. Haha 6-7, that’s how you do it marine, take notes.)

This is likely the best outcome for Mr. Jasveer and he's to shortsighted to realise it. Imagine the employee had joined and left within 1 week for the better salary? Kudos on the employee for maintaining good professional grounds which Jasveer needs to learn

[Jasveer Singh @jasveer10]

Interviewed a backend developer.

Guy was at 21 LPA. We offered 28 LPA, roughly a 33 percent hike. He agreed and confirmed joining.

Yesterday he emailed saying he got a 32 LPA offer elsewhere and now wants 36 LPA from us.

Nonsense. Why agree in the first place.

If you are still shopping offers just say it upfront. We stopped interviewing other candidates and waited through the notice period for the joining date.

Now two days before joining, he came back with a new price tag.

[A.Iyengar @akyajur]

When you do situational monitoring. You will realise the intellectual gap between independent analysts in India and the West. This person is considered a "strategic analyst" but repeatedly posted fake claims, doesn't understand how to verify and lacks analytical thnkg

Did UAE do the unthinkable?

[MapReader @MapOsnit]

The sinking of the IRIS Dena off Sri Lanka is a reality check, International waters are nobody's backyard.
Once that ship crossed the 200-mile limit, they left India’s protection. In the "High Seas," India has zero legal power to stop a US-Iran confrontation. We might host the party (MILAN 2026), but we aren't the bouncer for the whole ocean. If it's outside our 12-mile sovereign line, it's literally none of our business. 🇮🇳
