What remains irreducibly human?

AI can coach, counsel, predict emotion from voice and expression, write a persuasive opinion, and, somewhat ironically, even hallucinate. So what is left that is still ours?

In the chaos of big city, these are the cuter moments… someone is selling this beauty - just parked outside for passerby’s to see.

[Mayanka Batra @maybatra]

#womenleaders are possibly the most planned people. They don’t have the whole world abiding to their schedule- it’s usually the opposite where things constantly throw off their schedule. They know how to continuously make sense of the #chaos around them and align it to their plan

Why is lack of sleep glorified?
The three basics to health- sleep, water, breathing.
The quality of sleep can impact the next 18 hours. Quality n amount of water can impact your body in many ways. Breathing intentionally (labelled as Pranayam) impacts clarity, calmness more.

My Tuesday morning went out of control with sudden need to visit hospital which also extended due to something the doctor wanted.
I’ve had a productive morning with the help of an awesome team, WhatsApp and phone.
Plus coffee!!

[Mayanka Batra @maybatra]

We talk about women leaders and the unique challenges. While i have been mostly lucky to have a strong support at home (and significantly unluckier than those who have a village)…

I’m at an age where caregiving responsibilities have shot up with aging parents, frequent hospital visits and child school + schedule management.
I’m constantly juggling and trying to get in that infrequent workout and mental health coffee breaks/ holiday with friends…

Four years of running Shhyfft and I’ve never not had my laptop with me for what ifs.
The first long weekend away without working on some or the other document, presentation or numbers or just being ready for something that might come up. Suddenly feels disconnected.

[Mayanka Batra @maybatra]

Can we have a new league of professionals- house managers. Like housekeeping and maintenance supervisor. To make sure that everything works like it’s supposed to.

Going through the mandatory “the year is not over yet…” and “the opportunity to make the most of this year…” posts before December hits.

@GautamGhosh Feel better soon

[Mayanka Batra @maybatra]

Thank you for helping me out with this. The social media team was more responsive and supportive than the regular calling team.
You need to make the void clauses for zero cancellation more visible. This is otherwise misleading.

[Mayanka Batra @maybatra]

Took @makemytrip zero cancel. Need to cancel cuz one parent diagnosed with cancer. But they won’t refund becuz @AkasaAir changed flight time by 20mins.
International flight = high fee = major loss
Is this my bad luck? Bad policy? Hiding behind fine print? scamming ppl?

@makemytripcare No response in more than the shared SLA of 24 hours @makemytrip @makemytripcare

Today, we celebrate the spirit of freedom, unity, and progress that defines our great nation. As we reflect on the sacrifices and dreams of those who secured our independence, let’s renew our commitment to building an inclusive, innovative, and empowered India.

Not all uninitiated change is bad. Don’t fight it. Understand with patience and persevere to wait for consequences to begin emerging.

Tuesday > Monday

My gym podcast today was Raj Shamani and Kunal Shah. What a waste of thirty minutes. Something seriously wrong with how these two think if that’s how they really think.
Any women led leadership business podcast reco?

#backfromholiday is always intense work week. What worked-
Mon: worked on the immediate client work that was held up cuz of me.
Tue: Spent two hours in the am doing a clinical ops review and planning.
The clarity and space this created for the rest of the week is immense.
