Gave bath to the kid.Also comb her locks and managed a ponytail. When she rushes to check herself in the mirror and gives a radiant smile as a thumps up for the effort, world = conquered.
It's not exactly a mirror image, the workers on the banner are more protected than the actual workers. Wish we as a society gave priority to worker safety, PPEs #newindianexpress
The biggest fumble in business ever might be Philips spinning off ASML, TSMC and NXP
Philips co-founded ASML in 1984, then co-founded TSMC in 1987, then they founded NXP
They sold each of them for short term profits in the 2000s
ASML is now worth $545B
TSMC is worth $1.76T
NXP is worth $50B
Philips today is worth just $27B
If they'd never sold, Philips would be the largest company in the EU today, worth $650B
Philips CEO Cor Boonstra called it "making money with the success of the past"

@GabbbarSingh A slightly different take. Tech is brutal. Tech especially deep tech is not a paradise but a dark forested valley with innumerable pathways . You need a lot to fall in place to succeed in tech. Only a few who navigate it get to flaunt achievements, Most jus plateau as an IC.
@wordi25 Same here. It's a bit different in heating characteristics , for ex doesn't cool immediately compared to gas, but totally possible to cook meals.
Key highlights on R&D from the CTIER report:
# R&D expenditure spend :0.6% in India VS 3.6% of gdp in China
# share of industry in R&D expenditure :36% in India VS 79% in China

@imranhindu@THChennai A pleasant surprise to know that #Nallakannu curated a library at home and it was inaugurated by no less than the chief Justice. These little things that you did, for the benefit of the public, without fanfare are somethings I will miss, Periappa. #RIPNallakannu
I can understand the extreme bullishness on India. It usually revolves around this:
1. Political stability for another 15-20 years.
2. Massive infra build-out across center and large states
3. Demographic dividend
4. AI will actually push jobs to India, after all we are and will remain cheap labour
5. Massive tech advantage, cheap, fast internet, great UPI
6. Only country on the planet with 10% nominal economic growth for next 15-20 years
7. We are where USA was in 19XX, Japan in 19XX, South Korea in 19XX, etc.
8. Anything / 140cr = low penetration of anything from condoms to cars
9. Great startup system, funding, unicorn
10. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi
I mean, guys, really? In 2026?
