Pain throws your heart to the ground. Love turns it around. Fear's a friend who's misunderstood. But I know that the heart of life is good.

@sardesairajdeep Great song and no question at all about the legendary duo, but this is a lip sync and a +1 performance, not live singing.

“Look Ma, no hands!” I don’t know how men do it. Standing akimbo or more often than not, typing away furiously on their smartphones while answering the call of nature and then spray paint everything around them. How? Why?!

Cushions - the worst invention ever by humanity in terms of utility. Period.

All the complications around copyright and matching likeness, etc. notwithstanding, I have always wondered what the legendary playback singers/songwriters of yesteryears would do with the sound technology and engineering available today. Guess I won't have to wait long now...

No one really cares about what they could make ($$$), but only about what they should. That is what limits human ambition

“AI” is the new comma. Used often, but seldom in the right way.

@reasbeck78163 @sumants That would show up in my actions. Not words, which oftentimes are just a method of communication in the non-literal sense. And where does one draw the line? Anything anyone utters may be deemed insensitive by someone out there. There’s got to be a better measure of sensitivity

Can’t say “blind study”, use “masked study”; Can’t say “sanity check”, use “fact check”; Can’t use “walk-in”, use “drop in”; Can’t say “master” bedroom, use “primary”. People who pride themselves on freedom of speech are the ones clamping down on the freedom of others to speak!

@sumants There is no end to this madness otherwise. Literally every word’s origin and etymology needs to be dug up and then a new lexicon will emerge. Don’t sweat the small stuff is my personal message. Focus on the large issues that will truly make a difference

[Manan Singhi @manansinghi]

@sumants Intent is more important here and that’s what gets completely ignored.

@grantguske @GoogleAI @googledevs @liambolling Aware of this. Keep watching this space!

@uzmabarlaskar Hey Uzma, sorry for the cold outreach and pinging on a Friday night. Needed some help with a bug resolution and have been trying to reach an on-call Eng at WhatsApp to triage, so thought I’d ping here for a contact. Thanks 🙏

@doshiamit @Broacha_Cyrus @cyrussaysin @IVMPodcasts Got another email today about the membership not being offered.

@Broacha_Cyrus @cyrussaysin @IVMPodcasts what happened here? Strikes? @doshiamit

“Next time, I’m going to put an AirTag on you” Overheard a parent threatening her teenage daughter at Target, Sunnyvale (Silicon Valley)

I was asked today, “How does one become a guru?” My impulsive response: “Just start referring to yourself as one”. Had a moment of self-realization when I uttered these words. Think about it - it truly is that simple.

@MadSudn "Woh dekho, badi chhipkali!!"

The funniest moment in a movie hall for me was the screening of Ship of Theseus in Gurgaon. After the movie ended on a somber note and credits started rolling, the deathly silence in the theater was broken by a viewer asking his clueless friend “Sir ji, jahaaj to aaya hi nahi”!

[Manan Singhi @manansinghi]

@nandiniv Ah, the We Hate Gurgaon group! I'm finally out of that place and doing great as a result. Lovely to hear from you! Been following your life through your tweets. Hope you're well too :)
