Just a quick tip: You are connected on your MacBook with your iPhone's internet via wired connection, yet you find that it is showing in WiFi for other people?
That's because it's still connected by WiFi hotspot until you manually turn off WiFi from the iPhone settings.
Her name was Neerja Bhanot.
Born in Chandigarh in 1963. She grew up in Mumbai, modelled for advertisements, and in 1985 joined Pan Am as a flight attendant. She was 23 years old.
Once her mother told her that if there was ever a hijack she should run and save herself.
Neerja replied. Mummy, mar jayungi lekin bhagungi nahin. I would rather die than run away.
On September 5 1986 she was the Senior Purser on Pan Am Flight 73 flying from Mumbai to New York via Karachi. The plane was carrying 380 passengers and 13 crew members.
At 6am during the Karachi stopover four armed terrorists boarded the plane dressed as airport security.
Neerja spotted them immediately and whispered the hijack code into the intercom. The three pilots escaped through an overhead hatch and fled. The plane was grounded. The terrorists could not fly it anywhere.
The enraged hijackers put Neerja in charge of communicating with the airline. All other flight attendants were tied up with ropes. She was alone.
For 17 hours she kept 380 people calm. She served them sandwiches and water. She spoke to them. She managed the terrorists.
When the hijackers ordered her to collect all passports she sensed they were targeting Americans. She and her crew quietly hid the American passports under seats and threw the rest down a rubbish chute. 42 of the 44 Americans on board survived.
After 17 hours the terrorists opened fire and threw grenades into the cabin.
Neerja opened an emergency exit door. She could have been the first one out. She stepped aside and began pushing passengers through.
The terrorists saw her helping three unaccompanied children escape. They caught her by her hair and shot her at point blank range.
She died on the tarmac in Karachi. Two days before her 24th birthday.
She was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra. The first woman and youngest person ever to receive it. India’s highest peacetime gallantry award.
Pakistan awarded her the Tamgha-e-Pakistan. The United States Department of Justice gave her the Special Courage Award.
Her name was Neerja Bhanot.
She had every chance to save herself.
She chose not to.

Today saw the entire staff in a bad mood and overheard about the fact that they were badly scolded by the management due to less sales in the last two days.
Dear @BaristaCoffeeIN, this is only impacting their performance negatively. [2/2]
I love to visit my favourite Barista cafe at C-scheme, Jaipur. It's warm and cosy, but more importantly, the staff is polite, welcoming, and honest. [1/2]

Lately, I had an incredible podcast with @daveasprey, 4x NYT bestselling author & biohacking expert.
We explored breathwork & neuroplasticity, the science of visualization, yogic approach to immortality, & more.

Personal experience. Nothing else that I do comes even close.
Gen AI is helping me immensely to take out DIYs of many things which earlier needed an expert opinion.
Just the right usage, conversation, using your own insights (as it just presumes sometimes), really helps to extend the ease.
Your smartphone isn’t just stealing your time. It’s draining your life force.
Neuroscience calls it cognitive fatigue. Yog calls it chitta vikshepa, the scattering of the mind.
Reclaim your energy. Learn how, as I pen in my LinkedIn article: https://t.co/F00MajBFby
Just 30 minutes of mindful meditation practices from the Yoga of Immortals and Shiv Yog and my heart rate dropped to 41 bpm (+- 2 bpm sensor accuracy).
Making me feel peaceful, relaxed, and focused. Loved it. @IshanShivanand
🛳️ In 2014, cruise ships stopped at Indian ports just 102 times.
In 2025, that number has soared to 14,000+ stops.
India’s ports are buzzing — and with ASEAN nations on board, a new Indo-Pacific cruise era is here.
This is a story of a famous footwear brand who built a world class factory on Delhi-Punjab GT road in late 1980s
One day, then CM of Haryana was travelling and as luck would have it, his car broke down walking distance from the footwear factory. His PA went to the factory and requested the owner permission for CM to rest until help arrives. 🧵
Vietnam just implemented snitch to earn for traffic violations.
If you report someone for breaking traffic laws you can earn a 10% bounty if they get fined.
I’m pivoting from farming airdrops to sitting at busy intersections.
