[Ashish Dutt @dutt_ashish]

I'm trying something new. I have read dozens of self help books on how to beat procrastination and how to lead a better life. I struggle with over analysing of what to do, but find it difficult to stick to habits I've started.

This is my attempt to overcome this.

@jootawaala Hey! I see the no. 9 also live on the website. Can I order those as well?

[Ashish Dutt @dutt_ashish]

@jootawaala Are these still available? If not, when’s the next one dropping?

[Ashish Dutt @dutt_ashish]

@wanderingraptor @VikHasya @GoAthlos Wife can attest. Was not a white tee fellow, became one. Now have too many white tees and want to buy this one too 😅

@ishika138 I live there. It’s quite safe. Sunsets are beautiful At that time, although paragliding may not happen. You can visit billing to catch some snowfall if you’re lucky

[Ashish Dutt @dutt_ashish]

@ganeshsonawane Ganesh you are doing something. Even if it’s bringing products available in another country to India and making those products accessible to our population, it counts. I’m glad you responded, but don’t give in to the haters.
Cheers!

Mandatory Govt. app on all phones?
Things keep getting more and more insane in this country.

[Nikhil Pahwa @nixxin]

More bad news for mobile phone users in India (after SIM binding): Our government is mandating a government app (sanchar saathi) on every new phone, permanently, Reuters reports.

Will be pushed to your phone via OTA. New smartphones need to have it. Users cannot delete it. This is a first. India has never before required an unremovable state app on every device. Russia does btw, with its MAX Messenger (started September 2025).

A few comments regarding this:
1. Sanchar Saathi is a lost phone tracker, but if it gets embedded with no possibility of removal, it becomes a government tracker on your device.

IF the government is allowed to get away with this, what’s next? A mandatory digital ID app? Digiyatra forcefully installed on each device? An app that disables VPNs or tracks your app and browser history? An app that sends copies of your messages to the government once a month?

Once the OS layer is opened to the state, it doesn’t close.

2. Legally, one can argue that your mobile phone is your personal space, and this is an invasion of your personal space.

It’s where we have our most private conversations. Exchange sensitive information with people we trust.

How do we know this app isn’t used to access files and messaging on our device, which is unencrypted on device? Or a future update won’t do that? This is clearly an invasion of our privacy.

3. Remember how the government exempt itself from much of the Data Protection Law. This explains why.

The Data Protection Law will make private companies more accountable and the Indian government less accountable.

4. Bloatware is already an issue with some phones (It’s why I don’t use Samsung). Now there’s more, and this time the government is forcing bloatware. I guess we’ll all have to root our phones now. When you buy a phone with bloatware, you're choosing to buy it with bloatware. This is different.

5. The way things work with India’s Department of Telecom, there was no public consultation, the order wasn’t disclosed. Just forced. This is dictatorial in nature. If they get away with this, more will follow.
