I would like to dedicate this win to @GmNaroditsky. It was one of his favourite tournaments. We have played endless bullets and hyperbullets, which definitely contributed to my growth as a player.

@MoiraDonegan @mondaysareruff I did not need to be reminded of that sandwich today 😭

The smell and sight of Goan Choris is unmistakable as you zoom past on rented scootys in Goa. The bright red color, its small pellet shape, and the wide curtains that vendors put up. To me, there’s no better way to entice a customer. Keep reading to see what I made!

a court judgement from 1995:

[kuldeep @ku1deep]

You know I am feeling slightly angry today. This image triggers me but also brings some melancholia.

I grew up reading Tolkien. His works, especially The lord of the rings, carry a recurring warning about “diminishment”. We fade and become as shadow of our former selves. Everything nobel faces a gradual loss of vitality, nobility, creativity, and human potential in the face of power, and the pursuit of domination.

The “long defeat” of history amid glimpses of victory. This image represents that. I have seen this nation rise from utter ruin to greatness, carried aloft on the shoulders of her daughters and sons who engaged in the grand project. We were supposed to be transformed into a great nation by 2020. We wrote books about that future. We dreamed as we toiled at this.

But I have seen her diminish. The worst instincts of her worst unleashed. Bound by the chains of civilisational trauma.

This can’t be the end. Feels like it though. It’s late and I have been driving all day and maybe I am just tired. I will feel better about this tomorrow. I read a poem , an essay and a short story every week. I will read Tagore tonight . I need the hope.

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”

I will feel better tomorrow morning.

Why Did Sridhar Vembu Really Come to India?

The story you've been sold: A billionaire tech entrepreneur renounces Silicon Valley, returns to a Tamil Nadu village, lives simply, cycles to work, talks about dharma and reversing brain drain. Simple living, high thinking. A saint in a cotton shirt.

The story the California courts tell: He moved to India in late 2019. Filed for divorce in 2021. In between, he transferred ownership of Zoho's US subsidiary to entities controlled by his associate Tony Thomas and his sister Radha Vembu, who now holds an estimated 47.8% stake in the company, without his wife's knowledge or consent.

A California court didn't mince words. It found that Vembu had acted "without regard for respondent's interests in community assets and without regard for the law." It ordered him to post a $1.7 billion bond. Unprecedented, the court itself said.

His wife Pramila Srinivasan, who by her own account supported the household in Zoho's early years and was kept in the dark about the ownership restructuring, is still fighting the case in California. Their son, who has autism and requires lifelong care, lives with her in the Bay Area. He is 26 years old.

Vembu left him behind.

The move to rural India wasn't a philosophical act. It was a jurisdictional one. California's community property law requires marital assets to be split equally in a divorce.

The solution, apparently, was to move the assets and himself out of California's reach before the divorce became formal. The village was the alibi. The dharma was the disguise. This is the conclusion the evidence points to.

The trial is not yet concluded and Vembu has denied all allegations, calling them complete fiction. But the court, looking at the same evidence, found his explanations not credible.

And then came the reward. The Modi government gave him the Padma Shri on January 26, 2021 and appointed him to the National Security Advisory Board just days later, in February 2021.

The formal divorce filing came in August that year. The government honoured him while the marriage was already in ruins and the asset transfers were already underway.

But the courts and the Padma Shri are almost secondary. The real villainy is what he did to millions of ordinary Indians who believed him.

The man built an entire public persona on selflessness, on the idea that he had walked away from wealth and comfort for the sake of rural youth, for India, for something larger than himself. People quoted him. Teachers cited him. Young men from small towns looked up to him.

It was a performance.

Underneath the saint was a man who had abandoned his wife of nearly three decades, walked away from a son who needed him, moved a billion dollar empire out of legal reach, and dressed the whole operation up as enlightenment.

That is the real story of why Sridhar Vembu came to India.
