Cat's out of the bag. Excited to have @khoslaventures, @8vc, @section32vc and other amazing investors on this journey with us 🙌

Congrats to the team @SwadeshHQ on the round!

Swadesh (YC S19) is building the world's first neobank for Indian expats. They just launched zero-balance U.S. bank accounts that can be opened from India with just an Indian passport & U.S. Visa in 3 minutes: https://t.co/CYrSML07x0

@mattshumer_ whats the prompt?

[Prateek Swain @prateekswain22]

Wow, it's been a minute.

No anti immigration hate, no vitriol for skin colour or race. I experienced profound kindness everywhere I went in Europe.

It was truly a different time to what we experience now in many ways.

I still remember the Murrano glass factory tour with my parents as a child. The kind old Italian lady at the end gifted me this beautiful blue glass swan we’ve still kept in our living room.

Maybe it’s globalism, maybe social media. But the world was a lot kinder back then.

[Prateek Swain @prateekswain22]

We didn’t have money to buy any of those expensive glass pieces. They knew but it didnt matter.

I still remember her wearing an apron, white hair. Smiling and bending down to hand me the swan. These small gestures that last with you forever. Her gesture lives on forever.

@sansiddh It’s currently in progress apparently. Let’s wait till dawn

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

A moral equivalence between India and Pakistan is absurd

I hope this conflict doesn't escalate, but it's foolish for the West to judge India

India has been patient in an impossible situation

@anmolm_ Masood Azhar, a UN designated terrorist responsible for 26/11 (India’s 9/11), Indian parliament bombings among several other terrorist attacks roams Pakistan freely.

..A terrorist of the caliber and stature of Osama Bin Laden is openly sheltered. There’s no nuance here.

[anmol maini @anmolm_]

i don't remember seeing people being "sad about fighting" when america killed bin laden in pakistan. america (and americans) should actually stand with india in the war against terrorism & the states that enable it

The only time I’ve come across sin and cos being used in real life was when understanding transformers architecture.

Needless to say, I’ve skipped that section
