Just read about a beautiful Japanese concept:“meiwaku o kakenai”.
It means avoiding inconvenience to others, like not speaking loudly on phone, letting people exit before entering, or leaving a place as you found it.
We need mandatory “meiwaku o kakenai” classes in our schools.
Drop 5/14: Introducing Bulbul V3, our latest text-to-speech model. It raises the bar for how human it sounds, while being super robust.
In an independent third-party human listening study, Bulbul V3 delivers the highest listener preference, and low error rates across use-cases and languages. See details in our blog, but first watch the video. https://t.co/HkijWrupi9
Given the escalation of the conflict last week, at PhonePe we initiated active DR drills, with heightened cybersecurity measures on our network firewall. This evening, 100% of our traffic across all our services was being served through a new data center. Unfortunately, the Monday evening peak traffic exposed a network capacity shortfall due to which transactions started failing. We have now rebalanced our traffic across our other sites and are seeing the recovery. Our apologies for this. We assure to take these learnings and further strengthen our systems.
Amazing traffic sense - the car on the left wants to turn right and the one on the right wants to turn left 🙄😡
Who needs logic when you have this level of traffic genius? Civic sense is clearly underrated!
How do we reform freebies to boost productivity and enable economic growth, social cohesion, and global competitiveness 🤔
Many argue that the govt adds limited value (infra, healthcare, education) to the salaried classes compared to their tax contributions.
In the era of UIDAI (enabling identity authentication), AA (validating bank balances and investments), vKYC (secure digital verification), why does the Schengen visa process still demand extensive paperwork? Isn't it time for a fully digital, seamless experience?

If you or your family members have been historically investing in FDs, it’s worth reading about Arbitrage funds - possibly better tax adjusted returns (do check the risks associated with it).
A friend recently asked: what does strength mean to you?
It got me thinking 🤔- is it lifting X kgs weight? Is it six pack abs? Is it running a marathon? Is it yoga? Is it meditation? Is it awareness and mindfulness?And so on…
Is it physical? Is it mental?
What do you think?
“The discriminative intellect has the power to order the mind and determine what is right from the spiritual point of view. Therefore, a person should seek refuge in equanimity born of knowledge. Through the purified buddhi person attains the supreme.”
“Discriminative intellect makes nishkama karma possible. Buddhi is nischyatmaka i.e. the determining faculty of the pure intellect by which Atma is realised, and freedom from samsara is attained.”
