Horn OK Please is written on the backs of trucks in India.

During World War 2, Britishers were sending India’s diesel to Europe. This caused a shortage naturally and India switched to Kerosene as fuel to run trucks.

Kerosene is volatile and trucks would blast in accidents and collisions.

So they started writing “HORN PLEASE ON KEROSENE”.

On Kerosine eventually became “OK” and got placed between Horn Please.

That’s how we got Horn OK Please.

Yeah well! Been trying to get a marriage certificate for 2 months now. Keeps getting an objection. When you read the comments of the Marriage Registrar office on Google, its clear on why the objection at all.

Saying the quiet part out aloud but basically there seems to be a cottage industry of packaging "bribe as a service" into apps/websites at this point.

I've gotten a bunch of DMs of these 2 types

a) stories of people who went to EPFO office themselves and after lot of struggle, finally bribed and got their money. The bribes seem to be usually in terms of % of money to redeem

b) bunch of "agencies" which help in getting your money out of EPFO (and this is aside from the somewhat more well known ones like fynprint and Kustodian) who have like startup-ish looking websites and stuff. They seem to charge a % based service fee as well - which you can pay for via card/UPI

So now I wonder if case (b) is just a black to white wrapper over case (a)

What industry is this? BribeTech? Bribes as a Service (BaaS)?

A little girl’s father had gone missing. The girl drew a sketch of her father for the police. And as soon as the police found the man, seeing his actual photograph made the news anchors burst out laughing. 😅

career pro tip 👇

The easiest way to career progress is to make your coworkers and managers feel 'relaxed' when they see you. Proactive communication is the cheat code to this. You don't need to develop a personality or anything absurd like that. Simply do what you said you'd do, including updating when you said you'd update, and informing as soon as you know that you're not going to be able to do what you said you'd do by when you said you'd do it.

A manager that walks up to your chair knowing what the scene is is relaxed. A manager who walks up to you not knowing what to expect is tense. It's really simple.
