Car service call: "On a scale of 1-10, how'd you rate our service? 8 is dissatisfied, 9 is good, 10 is excellent."
These feedback calls are annoying when it is a disguise to pull a "10" out of you.
Interviewed a candidate for a techie opening yesterday. CTC for the candidate with 4 years experience in current company is 7.2 LPA. Asked what the expectation was.
Candidate says 16 lakh. I said that's more than double current CTC. Candidate says yes that's what I want. Conversation ended soon after.
Increasingly feeling out of touch with today's generation.
How much money do you need to retire in life? Do you really need 40 crores like someone recently claimed in a podcast that has gone viral?
That made me think and write this essay in one go. I didn't even edit it much. Let me know what you think.
Link is in comment.
Oh, this is unbelievable. The edit history on this tweet shows that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif originally copied and pasted everything he was sent, including:
"*Draft - Pakistan's PM Message on X*"
Now, obviously, Sharif's own staff don't call him "Pakistan's PM," they would just call him prime minister. The U.S. and Israel, of course, would call him "Pakistan's PM."
Would be funny if the fate of the world wasn't hanging in the balance.
Have no words about the road in front of India's most prestigious institute - The IIM-Bengaluru.
You will never find such things around Vidhan Soudha, and Sadashivnagara (carefully guarded) because their wives and kids are healthier enough to go watch IPL with free tickets.
Interesting how wars are named after the country attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War... That's because if they were named after the attacker, it would be too confusing, since 80% of conflicts would be called the US war.
Calm, sensible and objective. Unlike that mangled-headed despot with delusional views! How a pea-brained nutcase could be allowed to run a democratic country without checks and balances is beyond me!
Sadly, he doesn't even have this advantage, as anyone who's had small children knows. When someone is sufficiently unsophisticated, it's possible to know what they're doing even when they don't know themselves.
Before the war:
1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does
2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not
3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will
4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities
5) Inflation was declining, now increasing
Definitely winning!
