Just sticking to the strategy of giving the bastards an off ramp and giving only proportionate response. Caring about their civilians while our own being attacked. Our forces are just cut from a different cloth.
Bow down with respect

Salute the level of restraint both from military and political leadership.
We haven't used our big guns yet. INS Vikrant, Vikramaditya, Pinaka, Brahmos, ballistic missiles etc even after our civilians, military installations being targeted.

Thank you for your service, Sir 🙏🏼

Today I complete my IAS career. Thanks to my family, colleagues and all well-wishers, without whose unflinching support this journey would not have been possible.
I apologise if during this journey I rubbed anyone the wrong way.

20 million is approximately 0.0005% of India's GDP and I have also attached the meaning of Jolt in case the English daily isn't aware.
I am not even getting into what were the funds used for.

Ridiculous to say the least!!

Going by his performance, I can retweet this every match!
Take a bow! An economy of 4 in ODI and T20 world cups and an enviable show in Tests! Best pacer for India by a margin and at this rate will be an absolute GOAT!

ELON: THE PROBABILITY OF MECHAZILLA CATCHING STARSHIP IS ABOVE ZERO

“It'll weigh about 250 tons. 

We'll make that lighter over time. 

So, you got a couple of hundred tons plummeting more than half the speed of sound. 

So, this thing is still coming in really fast. 

Pretty much down in a downward direction.

So then, they light the engines, so it's got to slow itself down very fast and correct any errors.

Whatever the X-Y error is when the engines land, it's got to take out that X-Y error and then drop the velocity to basically zero, come in between the arms.

The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms.

And those tiny little, you can barely see them, the little knobs, those kinds of lifting lugs will touch the top of the arms, and then it will hopefully not shear off and crumple.

Success is one of the possible outcomes. 

The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero.”

Sale of books, stationery- should be a non profit, non-loss bases.

On @Linkedin, @Microsoft and their wokeness.

As an Indian institution, Ola is for genuine actions on diversity. We run one of the largest women only automotive plants. Not 1 out of 10 lines, or a small section, but the whole plant! Almost 5000 women now and will grow to tens of thousands in the coming years. And regarding gender inclusivity, we don’t need lectures from western companies on how to be inclusive. Our culture didn’t need pronouns to be inclusive for thousands of years. On a personal note, I had visited Ayodhya last year and learnt about how transgenders had been accorded special respect in our culture from ancient times! Here’s a short video from our national broadcaster DD on this - https://t.co/TGxfSjtM0F.

On the other hand, the pronouns issue I wrote about is a woke political ideology of entitlement which doesn’t belong in India. I wouldn’t have waded into this debate but clearly Linkedin has presumed Indians need to have pronouns in our life, and that we can’t criticise it. They will bully us into agreeing with them or cancel us out. And if they can do this to me, I’m sure the average user stands no chance. As a founder and CEO, this western DEI system has a major impact on my business as it grows an entitlement mindset in our professional lives and I will fight it.

This situation brings me to the need for us to build our own Indian tech platforms. I’m not against global tech companies. But as an Indian citizen, I feel concerned that my life will be governed by western Big Tech monopolies and we will be culturally subsumed as the above experience shows. This is not about Ola or any of my companies. Ola is too small to make any impact against this. I want to confront this forced ideology as a free thinking Indian and do what I can in my capacity. So here are the actions I’m taking. Putting my money where my mouth is.
⁃While we can’t do anything about Linkedin’s monopoly overnight, I’m making a commitment to work with the Indian developer community to build a DPI social media framework. DPIs like UPI, ONDC, Aadhaar etc are a uniquely Indian idea and is even more needed in the world of social media. The only “community guidelines” should be the Indian law. No corporate person should be able to decide what will be banned. Data should be owned by the creators instead of being owned by the corporates who make money using our data and then lecture us on “community guidelines”!
⁃Since LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft and Ola is a big customer of Azure, we’ve decided to move our entire workload out of Azure to our own @Krutrim cloud within the next week. It is a challenge as all developers know, but my team is so charged up about doing this.
⁃Any other developer who wants to move out of Azure, we will offer a full year of free cloud usage. As long as you don’t go back to Azure after that! Mail us on [email protected]. Offer is perpetually open!

Former Congress president #RahulGandhi Saturday said Congress, if voted into office in the Lok Sabha elections, would conduct a financial and institutional survey to ascertain who is in possession of the wealth of the country, and would then undertake an exercise to redistribute the same.

"It's unconstitutional, terrifying, & happening every day. These YouTube warrants are chilling, allowing police to target people simply for the content they consume."

Imagine having a job where your entire salary is variable pay & nothing is fixed. So from one month to the next, it varies even as your expenses--rent/EMI, ration, tution fees, fuel, electricity/gas bill--stays the same.
How would you manage?
