(1/9) What makes BITS Pilani so special?

About 3 years back, @DurjaiSethi and I started our quest to answer this question. We interviewed 25 Business Titans from BITS and began a journey to discover why the institute produced some of the best business brains of our country

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

@gomechanicindia @GMEscalations @gomechanicindia still no reply? Wow.

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

@gomechanicindia @GMEscalations SCAM ALERT! Bought TopAssist from GoMechanic which includes towing service. When I needed it this week, they asked me to wait for 60-90 mins. I called after 60mins and they blatantly lied saying it's raining heavily in my area (1/n)

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

@gomechanicindia @GMEscalations offered to me. And now it's been 2 days since that day and they're not even picking up their topAssist number. What a JOKE. Definitely don't get this plan. It makes no sense. Any local towing service will come and help you in < 30 mins anyway.

@caleb_friesen https://t.co/mBYQJnR7mD the 100 meter stretch starting from here (Kora to Bellandur direction) itself has 47 potholes.

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

@Naina_2728 Man this always happens to me in front of the Udupi park on 6th main ka pavement. 12 tiles are loose their and that patch has been rebuilt 2 times but those 12 tiles are the same

[Caleb @caleb_friesen]

got the high score on Pothole Patrol: Sarjapur Road

I lived on Sarjapur Road for multiple years. met multiple small accidents due to potholes + silt/sand between 2018 and 2023. always kept dettol and bandages in my backpack

which stretch in Bengaluru should I patrol next?

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

@caleb_friesen Ah this is such an interesting way to highlight our city's biggest (or one of the biggest) problem! Thank you for bringing more visibility here! We need tier-1 roads for tier-1 cities.

[Mustafa Yusuf @mufasaYC]

Normal: I’ll walk it up

Bengaluru: I’ll parkour my way there

We already have a cat, so unable to foster this one.

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

(potentially) lost cat in Indiranagar.
4-5 months old; black collar with daisies on it. Super vocal & loud. Probably an indoor cat which ran off & doesn't know the way back, or abandoned. Pls point to any groups/orgs where his pet parent might be looking for him

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

The tier-1 city that I've called home for the past 6 years

[Civic Opposition of India @CivicOp_india]

No words.
We don’t want to blackmail the government!

@Poan__Sapdi I read this in eat.Delete by Pooja Makhija recently - this is also attributed to the company - males having larger meal portion sizes compared to women and post marriage/moving in together unknowingly women tend to increase their portions too.

[Priyansha @prishmish]

experienced the worst of bangalore road rage tonight
women, if you’re driving in bangalore, please get yourselves a dash cam and never ever pull down your windows if you get into these situations

a biker cut into my lane and had a fall, went onto slam my windows and tail us for 15 mins on a very busy MG road

for two women on their own at night, this was hella scary to navigate
the cops took 20 mins to arrive and none of the commercial buildings even let us safely park so we could wait for their arrival
an absolute shitshow, that could have been a lot worse had we pulled down our windows to talk to the person or not had the dashcam footage as evidence

it’s nuts out there

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

@prosthetic_head @BehereBaba Ideally yes. But India's population+most folks not being tech friendly will be a bottleneck while filling gas. Can totally imagine long lines just to fill gas.
Also it's more time consuming for someone to park and get out and full gas and get back in the car.

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

@aditi_tibarewal +1 just THE WORST

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

Uru run was THE WORST. Help me tag the organisers in this thread. This requires a proper bashing.
It wasn't just poorly organised. It was dangerous.

[Aditi Tibarewal @aditi_tibarewal]

Just collected my bag after uru run myself - because no volunteer at the bag counter.
Thread on how avg the organisation was - coming soon

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

Bought 2 gift boxes immediately after getting this one from my office today.
Love, absolutely love supporting ventures like these. Go @ReachoutToPhool ❤️

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

Beautiful products from thoughtful not for profit organisations 🫰🏼
@ReachoutToPhool is definitely going to be my go-to place for gift boxes now.

[Durjai 🌱 @DurjaiSethi]

This one has a bunch of stuff - incense sticks, dhoop, diffuser oil, playing cards, keychains from katran + the design is oh so Indian and beautiful! Just delightful aesthetics.
