repetition is the bridge between who you are and who you want to be.

it's just the same boring rep, done when you don't feel like it, on the day nobody's watching, for longer than makes sense.

Many influencers are attempting to troll TEAM BHARAT saying the video against Shri Nitin Gadkari ji sir is an AI video.

Here is the original. This man copy pasted the Ethanol Standards policy from the US.

He lied to the Hon'ble Courts he has nothing to do with Ethanol.

He needs to be sacked ASAP. Spread this video before he goes after it !! Expose this serial bragger and misleading Union Minister.

"4 wheels ride your body but 2 wheels ride your soul"

Don't get fooled by such quotations, don't waste your money on bikes in India if you can afford a car.

Your body is as vulnerable as a raw egg. The moment you fall, you are gone! Nobody cares for you.

No influencer or media will warn you this because they are chasing views and likes while covering 2-wheelers.

Two-wheeler in India means MISERY. Work hard and get over this misery.

true neuroplasticity requires a massive ego. you have to be delusional enough to think you can master a complex system overnight, so you push past the exact wall of mental exhaustion where normal people quit.

[Mansi @im_mansigupta]

The rate for Porter for shipping something small on a bike over 10 kms in peak Bangalore traffic was Rs 100 today.

One dollar. For 40 mins of a back-breaking ride, wait times, petrol costs, and platform cut. Got booked in 2 mins due to massive oversupply.

When you kill rural safety nets like MNREGA, distress migration floods cities. This 'gig economy' is built upon rural desperation.

Reminder that 90% of SC-ST cases are fake, and now 40% hike is proposed in atrocity compensation.

We quit our jobs.

There were six of us — Shiv Nadar, Arjun Malhotra, Yogesh Vaidya, Subhash Arora, D.S. Puri and me.

It was 1976. Startups were not really a thing in India. Venture capital did not exist. Banks were not exactly lining up to lend money to six young men with an idea and no collateral.

And computers? Most people had barely heard of them.

But we believed the microprocessor was going to change the world.

So we took the plunge.

Between the six of us, we managed to put together ₹1.87 lakh. We borrowed, pooled our savings and, in one case, even sold a car.

Our first office was a small barsati in Golf Links, Delhi.

We called ourselves Microcomp. We wanted to build an Indian computer.

There was just one problem.

We didn’t have a manufacturing licence.

That eventually led us to UP Electronics Corporation. They had the licence. We had the technology. And that partnership gave birth to Hindustan Computers Limited — HCL.

But perhaps the most audacious part of the story was what happened next.

We started selling a computer that was still being designed.

We had a brochure and a mock-up of the machine. That was it.

Our sales teams went across India, knocking on doors and convincing businesses to buy into a technology they had never used before.

The first orders came from IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras.

Then came the harder part — convincing businesses.

In Coimbatore, we were up against DCM DP, a much bigger and more established name. I still remember sitting in the reception area of Premier Mills while the DCM team made its pitch.

We went in second.

And we won.

That one order gave us five more. Then ten.

That was HCL in those early years: not having the biggest balance sheet, the biggest brand or the easiest path — but finding a way.

We were restless.

We looked for gaps. We hired people who had what we called a “cowboy” spirit. We believed that technology had to be made useful and accessible, not intimidating.

And we kept moving.

From building India’s early indigenous computers to taking our business to Singapore when HCL was just four years old. From a small room in Delhi to a global technology company.

When I look back at 50 years, I think about six people sitting together in 1976, wondering if this crazy idea could actually work.

I think about a barsati.

A brochure for a computer that did not yet exist.

And the courage to knock on the next door.

That, to me, is the real HCL story.

50 years later, the technology has changed beyond anything we could have imagined.

But the spirit remains the same:

Dream big. Take the risk. And above all, Just Aspire.

Happy 50th, HCL.

What a journey it has been.

take a fucking risk mate. try something new. move to a new city. quit your job. fight. learn to surf. start a company.

You'll regret it if you get married, you'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids and you'll regret it if you don't. Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows - whatever you choose, you'll regret it, because the problem isn't in your choices, it's in romanticizing your life. A person always finds an untravelled path alluring and mysterious. That's why the issue isn't making the right choice. It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with. In life, we must choose our regret.

the fastest way to shut down neuroplasticity is labeling yourself a failure. you have to be delusional enough to look at your worst attempt and call it data collection.

A billionaire literally explained how the entire economy works in 42 minutes better than most $200,000 MBA programs ever could.

[Ceteris Paribus @entropied2223]

IT had created about a crore direct plus indirect jobs when it touched $100 billion in 2011-12.

AI will probably reach $100 billion faster but job creation will be 25-30% of IT numbers.

Add to this no movement to America, and it's clear that we are witnessing the end of an era.

Malls will reduce in numbers, flight connectivity will shrink (already is shrinking), taxi apps and all will have lower quality, foreign travel will shrink, middle class itself will shrink.
Can't see any hope for us. And this is just the economy. If one thinks about the social justice politics one will immediately get depressed.

The curse of discipline is that every day looks the same. The curse of indiscipline is that every year does.

there is a legit "1st 20hr" theory in which if you lock in for the first 20 hour to learn something (ofc with intervals) you can be decently good at it

Imagine justifying charges on UPI transaction citing infrastructure cost when government is spending billions in freebies.

IT selliyas can go to any extent to justify every step as Masterstroke.

Add the UPI cost to freebies budget, don't burden middle class 🙏
