है राम के वजूद पे हिन्दोस्ताँ को नाज़
अहल-ए-नजर समझते हैं उस को इमाम-ए-हिंद

इमाम- ए- हिन्द पर छिड़ी चर्चा पर अचानक कमाल ख़ान साहब की NDTV की वो ऐतिहासिक रिपोर्ट याद आ गई।

Many failures blamed on execution begin earlier: inside the question the room accepts. A question is not wording. It is a control object that decides boundaries, evidence, pace, and trade-offs before the answer appears.

Lee Kuan Yew's biggest ideas went entirely against the grain of postcolonial states across the rest of the world.

In many ways, that is exactly why he was successful.

We did it, together.

This belongs to all of us.

Trump in Davos, Switzerland:

"Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German".

German is the main language of Switzerland.

Brief thread on something that has been brewing in my head. In 2009 and 2010, when I was working in the Mint office in Delhi, they sent me to be a jury member for a Tech Awards thing. Leaving the details intentionally vague for privacy and habeus corpus reasons. 1/n

Bookmarked for class: I will be using this as a case study of editorial misdirection as an intentional tool of avoiding journalism while enacting the theatre of it. Not the reporters' fault but that of editorial leadership in a newsroom.

Another example a friend gave: when the Indian economy is doing badly, write on Pakistan's or China's.

When I reflect on my life and its inevitable regrets, I always return to this Kafka quote. It reminds me how tragically misplaced the world is; where souls like his felt crushed under the weight of a hollow, performative existence.

[Sumukh Rao @RaoSumukh]

The biggest issue with getting anything in India fixed/serviced is the extremely low trust, because it feels like everyone's out there to scam you.

If a technician says something needs to be replaced, you can never know if they're telling the truth or lying for a quick buck.

Where was the US in this process?

US was in the United States... 😭😭

I think this is a good time to repeat what @jasonzweigwsj once said:

There are three ways to make a living:

1) Lie to people who want to be lied to, and you’ll get rich.

2) Tell the truth to those who want the truth, and you’ll make a living.

3) Tell the truth to those who want to be lied to, and you’ll go broke.

The rest is commentary.

And if I were to add my two bits to this: The largest audience is of the first kind. The circus must not stop.

[Siddharth @DearthOfSid]

Always a good message for Indian media.
