🚨 ACCOUNT RECOVERED & SECURED 🚨

My account was recently hacked via session hijacking. The attacker changed my email to a bot handle and locked me out using a malicious Passkey/2FA combo.

If you received any weird DMs or links from me over the last week, DO NOT CLICK THEM.

Massive thanks to X Support for manually stripping the hacker's 2FA device and rolling back my access!

Important safety takeaways for everyone:

• Never click unexpected or sketchy links (cookie stealers bypass passwords instantly)

• Turn on App-Based 2FA right now (use Microsoft/Google Authenticator)

• Enable Password Reset Protection in your security settings

Stay safe out there! 🙏🔒

I have known Deepak for while now and he is someone who has guided me during my work and careers. There are very few people like Deepak, who treat everyone equally, including his partners and bankers, giving them enough attention and time to be heard. He is humility personified, with a memory like an elephant. Happy retired life, Deepak 🙏🏼

In the world where laughter is outlawed, be the hero of humour, reminding every one the importance of never taking life too seriously.

For those who haven't spent much time on Twitter, it may be difficult to understand the deep attachment and emotional connection that long-time users feel towards their accounts, timelines, and the conversations that take place there. Newcomers to the platform may not fully appreciate the sense of belonging that old accounts have developed over time. It is important to preserve the original spirit of Twitter as a friendly and supportive community, where people found virtual companionship. Let's refrain from turning it into a frivolous, hateful, or trolling space and instead uphold the values that made it a welcoming place for so many.

Impressively, Apple has gained a staggering $850 billion in market value year-to-date, surpassing the total valuation of Tesla and even surpassing the combined market capitalization of India's leading eight companies.

During a job interview, the interviewer asked me, 'What's your biggest weakness?'

I replied, 'Honesty.'

The interviewer said, 'I don't think honesty is a weakness.'

I said, 'I don't give a damn what you think’.

Interviewer: How do you explain this 4 year gap on your resume?

Crimson blooms, vibrant and bold,
Anthurium's beauty, a tale untold.
Petals like flames, passion's embrace,
Nature's artistry, in this fiery grace.

I always thought being quoted in a newspaper would make me feel famous, but it turns out my mom was the only one who read the article. 😅

Good to get quoted in the @EconomicTimes

Our purpose as a leader is to prepare a leader, when we are not going to be there.

Timing they say is everything. An effort before its time is worthless.

By the time some people realise your significance, you come to realise their irrelevance.

A good leader is like a potted plant, they need just the right amount of attention, but too much and they'll start to wilt.

Cumulative effort we put in writing the helplessness tweets, we probably should be putting that much effort or more in sorting those things out in real life.
