its crazy how the geographically most unfavourable nation in terms of live broadcast scheduling could enjoy this gem of a match while the hosts were busy at work.

@Madan_Chikna this reminds me of the time i went to watch “bhaag milkha bhaag” in the cinema hall…

i noticed in one scene that railway tracks had concrete sleepers, but concrete sleepers were introduced much later by indian railways. wooden sleepers would have been historically accurate.

he is absolutely correct about this. phone is a hard drug.

it is easier to fight nicotine than phones and there is no social stigma for phones like nicotine.

if your day is of 24 hours and you sleep 8 hours and work 8 hours and have 8 hours of non work screentime - you essentially have like a few months of life left to live in the next 60 years.

Something hit me.

We were traveling to Lugano from Lucerne, and we missed our connecting train. The next train was 1 hour later. One hour of wait. Nothing to do. We cursed our luck. We dipped back into our phones. And the next time we checked the clock, it was just 15 mins to go. Internet poured an hour full of content into our empty glasses of time.

I realised there is no waiting now. No boredom. Time just passes. It’s like sleeping, or being in a coma. The passage of time is invisible. Almost like fast forwarding life towards its inevitable end. It shortens life. Isn’t this the most dangerous yet painless disease. Scary.

Username reservations are here, as more and more people claim theirs, here’s answers to the top questions you’re asking ⬇️

Q: Are usernames mandatory?

A: Nope, they are optional.

Q: What if the username I want isn’t available?

A: There’s a few reasons you might not be able to reserve the username you want:

1) It’s an existing Instagram or Facebook username; these are reserved for their owners.

2) We’ve held well-known names and some variations of them - like public figures, celebrities, government entities and Meta-verified accounts - so they can only be claimed by their legitimate owners. If you try to reserve those, the system will say it’s not available.

3) Someone already claimed a common name, in that case use the username generator.

Q: What if someone creates a username similar to mine to impersonate me or run a scam, how do you stop someone from pretending to be me?

A: Usernames are not available for messaging yet. When they are, and you get a message from someone new, we’ll let you know the country origin, and a warning for first time outreach. Well-known public-figure names and their variations are held for verified owners. We’re also keeping a close eye on blocks and reports to take action against scammers.

Q: Can random people message me if they know or guess my username?

A: Just like you can’t search for a phone number in WhatsApp, you can’t search for a username. The best way to prevent someone from contacting you is to add a username key and to choose a username that is unique to WhatsApp.

All the current measures remain in place to prevent unwanted contact, including warnings with details about unknown senders (whether they're a new account, if you share groups, what country they're in) and the ability to block and report.

Q: What is a username key?

A: An extra layer of protection you can enable with your username, so that another user will have to know both your username and your username key to contact you. You can reset your key at any time to stop new inbound contact through your username.

Q: Do I have to link my other Meta accounts?

A: If you want the same username as your Instagram or Facebook account, you’ll have to link them. This one of the ways to reduce impersonation and to make sure you’re the legitimate owner of the account. But after that, you can unlink the account if you want, or you can choose a username unique to WhatsApp.

Q: Can I change my username later?

A: Yes, as long as the new one you want is available.

A few more things to keep in mind...

People are making false claims about reserving popular or well-known usernames - this isn't true, only the legitimate account owners are able to reserve well-known public-figure names.

We enabled reservations before usernames launch later this year because we think people will feel strongly about what username they want on WhatsApp. We’re taking our time and listening to feedback so that when it rolls out later this year we get it right.

why is everyone posting their @WhatsApp reserved usernames on here on @x? whatsapp usernames are more like email addresses and less like @x or @instagram usernames… you should ideally keep it private and random but short enough to share verbally.
