Watching cricket for three decades & this Shastri-Gavaskar combo has been dropping the same clichรฉs. Same Vocabularies, same catchphrases, similar-ish excitement levels. You could play an old match over their recent commentary & it would all perfectly line up๐ซค
@rashmi@amitranjan haha.. yes I know what you mean.. and cynicism isn't the only thing growing on me
just the other day, I woke up & the very first thing I did was walk over to my sons room & turn off the AC. my transition to my dad is almost complete
I love Ted Lasso & not trying to take anything away from the overall message of "be curious, not judgemental" in this scene, but to be fair to Rupert, he actually is curious here.
He asks "Do you like Darts" but Lasso deflects "They're okay..I'm more of a cornhole man myself"
@ponnappa@ku1deep@rajeshsawhney Uber, with its significantly inferior incentives than when it began, still runs at an even larger scale.
sure there were a few strikes & all along the way, doesn't take much imagination to see them coming, but don't think it mattered in the larger scheme of things.
@ku1deep@rajeshsawhney 3mn or whatever number won't go jobless together at once. it'll happen slowly, over time.
perhaps in 5 years, a lot of those drivers wont be driving anymore, but we already have 40mn unemployed today. is it so unthinkable we'll add 5% more to it over the next 5 years?

@volklub@connectgurmeet Saw this at a Sikh-Bong wedding in Gurgaon. Turban guy was being treated like a rockstar by the bride/Bong side. All their men, kids incl, got a turban tied. At one point it became hard to decipher who was who. Insane how many opportunities are present for those that care to try.
This UX is damned everywhere on the internet.. heaven forbid you want to cancel an operation and go back..
"Are you sure you want to cancel"
[Cancel] [Ok]
.. cancel on cancel is double negative & wtf does Ok even mean.. can anything be more confusing??
8th grade summer vacation with cousins in Kochi. An uncle gets all us kids a Sony walkman each.
Dad gives me & sis budget to buy 2 cassettes & we get Sifar and Aquarium (barbie girl album).
I get into music so hard...Am still rarely seen without headphones.
@govindethiraj In my visits to Mumbai, I am often surprised by how a city, whose people have such an amazing work ethic, create such shitty infrastructure. We basically need Mumbaikars in Delhi or Delhi infra in Mumbai..
40 odd hour train journeys from Korba/Jabalpur to Kochi
We did that once every two years.
We read like 15-20 comics, through the journey, including the ones we exchanged with fellow travellers.
