Some semi-controversial things that I believe in:

A thread.

[Harshit Gupta @hkrgupta]

@UK_murph @Gentle_masc Or paragraphs with more than one sentence.

@iamankitpande There are only two possibilities:
1. He was a better performer than others but didn’t feel valued.
2. He was wrong in his perception and company didn’t do anything to correct him of it.

In both cases, the fault lies with poor leadership.

@dahtgirl_ajex I have a feeling the kid will survive

‘Tradeoffs’ and ‘resources’ is middle management speak from folks that have been trained at large orgs to self-preserve and stall all progress. If you are hearing these words in your management meetings, it is time to purge and clean the culture.

Act before it is too late.

Indians have never had trouble with proselytization. Sure, preach it as you wish.

Abrahamic faiths have historically failed in India because their talking points don’t resonate with Hindus.

The modern Indian backlash against proselytization has political roots, not theological.

@illsaywutiwant @AMAZlNGNATURE All true. This is an industrial waste dump.

[Harshit Gupta @hkrgupta]

@AMAZlNGNATURE It is an industrial waste dump. Completely man made.

@pitdesi @simongerman600 Just realized it is already mentioned in your graphic lol

[Harshit Gupta @hkrgupta]

@pitdesi @simongerman600 There is another sugar word ‘khaand’ in north India that became ‘candy’ in English.

@theskindoctor13 A lot of verbosity to defend a system designed for the convenience of the adults rather than for the benefit of the students it claims to serve.

The reason Indian system is so fucked up is because people actually believe in this bs.

[Harshit Gupta @hkrgupta]

@RohiSRH All this while throwing the leftover paper on the ground. Sure, this is India.

[Harshit Gupta @hkrgupta]

@CricketopiaCom I will remove gambhir and azhar and bring in Srinath and Gundappa Viswanath.

@theiaincameron There is another ‘almost quadripoint’ high in the Himalayas between china, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan (or India depending on your politics).

The distance between the two tripoints is probably less than 50km as the crow flies.

You and I are closer to Jeff Bezos in net worth than he is to Musk.

@KartikGadaATOM @Civixplorer Modern china is hardly Buddhist

[Harshit Gupta @hkrgupta]

How tone deaf does one have to be to do a layoff and then push remaining employees who wanna talk about it to your AI avatar…and then publicly brag about it as “I was tired of all the whining”.

@Sagiel_X @historyinmemes I tell any kid who gets a tortoise as a pet - you didn’t get a pet for yourself, you just bought an heirloom for your grand kids.

Tell me you drove on 280 without telling me you drove on 280.

Drove from San Jose to SF for the first time ever today (I’m not from California). Absolutely shocked, floored, etc. at the incredible lack of development.

Just mile after mile of trees and hills, not a single building or road, in what’s probably a top five value-per-acre area.

I see why people are mad about NIMBYism now…

[Harshit Gupta @hkrgupta]

Most leaders build organizations in their own image. As a result, they end up institutionalizing their own weaknesses and blind spots into their companies.
