@LalitKModi Was the real issue with ICL that it lacked cricketing merit, or simply that it lacked BCCI recognition?
Given that ICL pioneered the franchise T20 concept before the IPL, does history owe Kapil Dev and Subhash Chandra more credit than they currently receive?
@rishibagree TMC getting vapourised is fine. The concern is that they don’t return as BJP rain through another cloud like @kakalighoshdastidar. This will be back stabbing the supporters.
@GabbbarSingh@maithilithakur Was a star campaigner and she touched the pulse of voters where ever she went. The poignant Pic of her embracing R.G.Kar victim's mother brought tears to everyone. She was a masterstroke by BJP.
Bengal will see Expressways, Vande Bharats & Investments. It sits at such a strategic geographic location, that it’s a shame it was lagging behind.
It’s time for the rise of Bengal. The resurgence of the erstwhile Capital of India, Kolkata.
@sabeer It’s ironic that a US citizen focuses on Indian politics and films while ignoring concerns around authoritarian behavior and war-centric policies back home. Real courage lies in questioning the war-driven politics of one’s own leadership.
There’s a man in my office who hasn’t been promoted in 6 years.
He arrives before everyone. Leaves after everyone. Knows the company’s systems better than the people who built them. When something breaks at 2am, they call him.
His name is on the bottom of reports that directors present to the board. He doesn’t complain. He says he’s just “not political.”
Last week, a 26-year-old joined us. MBA. Firm handshake. Calls the MD by his first name. Within 3 months, he’s already sitting in meetings my colleague has never been invited to.
I watched my colleague train him.
Smiled the whole time. Answered every question. Shared shortcuts it took him years to figure out.
Afterwards I asked him, don’t you feel cheated?
He looked at me for a long moment.
“I used to. But I realized something. I’ve been loyal to a company. Not a purpose. Those are not the same thing.”
He resigned two weeks later. Took everything he knew with him. Started something of his own.
The MD sent a company-wide email. Called it “a great loss to the team.”
Eleven years of emails. And that was the first one that mentioned his name.
The system will celebrate your exit more than it ever celebrated your presence. Stop waiting to be seen. Build something that sees you if you’re not appreciated where you are.
@sagarikaghose@narendramodi Sitting in India, watching the world burn.
US–Israel strike Iran. Russia–Ukraine rages. Gulf on edge.
And here I am, safe on a Sunday morning.
Not perfect.
But at peace. 🇮🇳
Biggest worry today?
#INDvsWI 🏏
India is now the convenience capital of the world.
Now when an urban Indian travels abroad he misses two things, The food and the convenience of getting things.
Cheap labour had always existed in India, but now tech is employing it to make our life easier.
@sabeer Funny how crossed fingers, kneeling, sajda, or pointing to the sky never ‘religionized’ sports — but folded hands suddenly do.
Sports didn’t change. Selective outrage did.
