@myamlan Arrey, thoda positive motivation please. You are on the verge of winning Europa League and most importantly making a comeback to Champions League!! Things are not so poor. The team needs its fans to push them over the line, not drag them down...

Curious, why has Tata not been able to raise the bar @airindia? It's been 2 years since they took over, it feels the same!

ratio of outcomes to optics in the leadership decides the fate of the company particularly during war time..

100:0 = high performing, 0 BS
0:100 = political minefield

[Prabh @heypike]

execution excellence & resultant growth have a 1:2 ratio in India.

also, execution excellence is under rated & boring!

Power of Brand & Product,

Hotstar not working - why can't they make better tech?

Netflix not working - must be the internet connection!

Some notes on street dog issue - sharing this as I have been in (close) touch with many volunteer groups and I see both sides of the debate (in a fairly neutral way).
-----------

1. There is no doubt that stray dogs need to be sterilized /neutered. Govt machinery has failed at it (it is the local municipality's responsibility)

2. Most of the sterilization work is done by volunteers (you can call them stray dog lovers), but the entire point is that they also get a lot of threats from locals - though the fact of the matter is that the locals should participate in this and help volunteers so that the streets would be much more peaceful 5 years from now.

3. The govt has defined rules for feeding stray dogs - but hasn't done anything beyond the PDFs.

“The feeding spots shall be far from children play areas, entry and exit points, staircases, and should be in an area which is the least frequented by children and senior citizens. RWAs or AOAs should designate feeding times depending on the movement of children and senior citizens.” - as per the latest ruling by the court.

In most cases, the local municipality has failed to work with volunteers and RWAs to create these feeding spots.

4. Saying that 'let's kill/ban all of stray dogs in jail' is completely wrong and FYI, illegal.

Fundamentally, you are as much in their territory as they are in yours :) infact, i'd anyday vouch for crooked politicians to be sent to the jail than stray dogs, but anyways..

5. It's easy to hate stray dogs. Difficult to understand that none of this is their fault.

You can call them a menace - and they become
one (for you).
You make friends with them - and they become
one.

Next time, try to spend a few moments with them - you will realize that all they want is a bit of food and love/respect. They aren't as complicated as we think them to be.

Yes, the packs-running-at-me are a problem - but with better planning, one can fix all of this via sterilization movement and fixing feeding spots.

6. Last, but not the least - media should also look at how such stray dogs are killed /raped (yes, this happens and we do nothing against those humans).

Just last week, a drunken man in a nearby locality attacked a dog and fractured his leg - who is answerable for this? What is the dog going to eat now?
Think.
-----------------------------
TODOs:
- Develop empathy.
- Donate to the ones who are trying to help solve this puzzle - right from volunteers to dog shelters to well-meaning NGOs who are trying to get them adopted. Your help will accelerate the process (I have the verified list for Bangalore - if enough people are interested, will setup a microsite for pan India).

Last but not the least, here is a quote from Mark Twain that serves as a reminder for hoomans.

“If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.”

Feel free to hate me (for not hating the stray dogs) :)

Tl;dr: The long-term solution lies in accelerating the sterilization process and ensuring that feeding spots/process is well defined and executed.

Gen AI in 2023 is reminding me of mobile in 2013. All meetings and all companies are talking Gen AI.

Those who build right can get exponentially better than those who don't. Hopefully most can look past froth :)
