If you could visit only one country in your life, make it Switzerland. It's absolute perfection! 🇨🇭

@FI_InvestIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw Why can't I pay more and select seats just like we can do for flights?

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@Fintech03 So what to do if someday someone comes to my door and says you are not a citizen of this country and you will be deported?

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@system_monarch I once made a bot that holds a seat for me by selecting it on BMS. Onces the timer runs out, it selects it again. That way I don't have to worry about my favorite seat getting sold out when I have unsure plans.

@riyaelity Kunal Shah is not an employee. He is an entrepreneur. You don't need a degree to be an entrepreneur. But for an employee, degree is important. Even Kunal Shah himself would hire his employees from top colleges only.

@stockifiabhijit Great way to support the patient as well.

@blrcitytraffic You can track a student across his entire journey but you can't track thieves and other criminals using CCTVs. Says a lot about govts priorities

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@hemsdoc You gotta adjust according to the current generation. There is no other way.

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@Tushar15 Your statement doesn’t make sense. A lot of exams allow late students to give exam and those exams still function. Not everyone starts coming late. Why would anyone deliberately come late for an exam?

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@tiwariyogesh365 @ImHydro45 How is it unfair? Irrespective of the start time, the end time of exam will remain same for all. These are competitive exams - every min matters. Student arriving late already has lost those essential time. Let them give the paper atleast.

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@Boklogik @ImHydro45 Ministers arrive late to functions keeping the public waiting in heat - despite having no traffic, huge staff, pre-defined schedule and yet no one questions them. Babus arrive late to their duty no one questions, but a kid gets 2 min late for a exam, evryone was punctuality.

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@NalinisKitchen All that is fine.. but what's the issue in letting students in if they come late? At every centre, there are 4-5 students like this, what will be the issue if you let them give the paper?

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@Iam_Rohit_G Does NTA even conduct exam in Abu Dhabi?

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@nsinghal211 Issue with this is the gains are not linear like a FD. What would you do when your PF goes into red for 6 months? How are you going to survive?

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@haha_girrrl TCS

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@TheBigGeek @gupta_rekha @CMODelhi @LtGovDelhi @MCD_Delhi This misconception of "original" aadhar needs to be taught to every govt officer. There is no such thing as "original" aadhar. Aadhar is a number. It can be given in any form and the receiver can validate whether the number belongs to the right person or not.

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@NalinisKitchen For some people, quality and peace matters much more than visiting more number of places.

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@amitkilhor Everyone missing the point. It's not about creating 30000 IAS every year, but understanding why lacs of students waste their youth in preparing for exams. Do they have enough alternates? Why is IAS, a job with 1lac salary so lucrative? These ques need deep analysis.

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@MANSAFAB Just because you are not able to earn enough, don't demotivate others.

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@ananyashasau

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@ananyashasau In Swiss, every cabin has a small dustbin under the table and every few hours, attendant comes to take the trash out. A simple problem of littering can be solved but no - both people and govt want to play blame games instead of solving.

[Ashu Gupta @ashug98]

@beauyifulmind @ananyashasau You would be surprised to know Swiss people eat a lot of food in their trains. Trains are a part of their life. I have seen people peel, cut and eat a whole cucumber in trains. And on the tax part, I don't know about other people but I pay 30% from my salary every month.
