I love what #nothing is doing with the new 4a pro but I hate how hard it has become to give up an #iPhone

Wife shot down the idea cuz find my will stop working and we won’t be able to share audio on long flights 💁‍♂️

Off late the world feels like one big sales pitch.

It’s not just corporations but people too. Everyone’s constantly selling their personal brand, always pitching, always judging and one upping.

Or maybe I’m the old man yelling at the sky

@mleitz1 Estimate

[Pratheek Mahishi @prthkms]

People often over estimate what they can do in a week but severely under estimate what can be accomplished in a year.

[Pratheek Mahishi @prthkms]

Humans have a tendency to overestimate their own headwinds and others' tailwinds.

Remember, it is never as hard as you think it is for you and never as easy as it looks for others.

@pablomuralo @BuildBySTL For a casual user twitter can get overwhelming. Building a newsletter service that curates the top tweets that deserve your attention.

Is what I'm about to do a step toward or away from what's important?"

@ashray_bhat @kunalb11 India ranks one of the lowest in female workforce participation. There is a major change in policy and societal norms required to turn this around. How can the country grow when essentially half its population is left out of the job market.

@paraschopra Two reasons

Communal solidarity works when it comes from the community and not as a top down directive

Hampers the media narrative. All I see on the news is candle lighting while this time and mind space could have been used for real awareness

If not evil, misguided at best.

Very organized social distancing (while buying provisions) in Ahmedabad.

It happens in and only Belagavi. A pic of Preeti wine shop at Old PB road in Belagavi which has put marking keeping 1.5 distance between each customer standing in queue to buy liquor.

I'm stunned by the depth of #coronavirus information being released in #Singapore. On this website you can see every known infection case, where the person lives and works, which hospital they got admitted to, and the network topology of carriers, all laid out on a time-series
