I’ve been packing for weeks but the bag is completely empty. How is this possible?

@singhtejinder I’m going to India tomorrow for the first time in 20 years. Are there any books I should look for while there? Punjabi or Heer type of books.

I just published Phaṭṭī, qalam and davāt — the schoolboy’s kit of Heer Waris Shah https://t.co/TTDmNDovid

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

You have to be a genuine retard to open socials and your email first thing in the morning.

You are wasting an extremely small and valuable window you get every day to learn something new and hard.

Do that for a decade, and you're cooked.

Every single day, me, you and everyone else has a limited neuroplasticity and dopamine "budget".

We have a finite daily reserve of metabolic energy, neuromodulators (epinephrine, acetylcholine, dopamine, BDNF), and cellular resources available to deploy for meaningful rewiring.

Once that budget is spent, it’s gone until the next day after rest and recovery.

Passive consumption of online content (aka doomscrolling) actively burns through that budget while delivering almost zero constructive plasticity.

You are quite literally spending your brain’s daily capacity for growth on junk data and wasting the natural peak of dopamine instead of investing it into doing something hard.

I think it’s a huge weakness for women to have it instilled in them to always be polite, fair, kind, and endlessly empathetic in a rude, unfair, unkind, and unempathetic world

The first currency, legal and court-related term in Heer Waris Shah is ਵੱਢੀ (bribe). It was familiar enough in 18th-century Punjab to appear naturally in literature. Heer preserves not just language, but a snapshot of society and its institutions.

I think the new trend will be disappearing into a life of offline solitude, rather than oversharing your entire life in a desire to be a famous influencer

Need to buy a cheap hair dryer in India. Where? I feel like I am already being scammed and I haven’t even finished packing for the trip yet.

[Heer Salaiti @digital_heer]

@paalllo I am going after 20 years!!! I am definitely taking linen things. I was hoping to buy some skirts in Delhi so not taking any. I ended up buying an outfit today so I guess I will be taking nice new things.

[Heer Salaiti @digital_heer]

Going to India soon and trying to decide if I need to go like my child self and take my worst clothes because everything gets ruined there or if I need to go like an adult and take nice things to look presentable to the judgmental aunties.

[Heer Salaiti @digital_heer]

Fascinated by H1B discussions on here. The billionaire techies like them but not in a convincing way, general Americans don’t want any more and some want the ones here gone, and H1Bs declare themselves geniuses which is an obvious non-genius move.

[Heer Salaiti @digital_heer]

Where can you get beautiful writing journals in Delhi?

What are the apps a person needs to download when visiting India?

[Tejinder @singhtejinder]

In Waris Shah’s Heer, the first non-agricultural tool to appear is the cobbler’s last kalbūt (ਕਲਬੂਤ), likely from Greek kalópous (“wooden foot”). Punjabi may contain more Greek-derived vocabulary than we realize. Unfortunately, we don’t have searchable, robust Punjabi corpus.

a pale immortal trading their immortality for the love of a human is actually a very important trope to me
