All European teams bar Spain and France to some extent play attritional football. Zero flair, rigid passing lines, hardly any overlaps and risk averse build up phases. Pretty much summing up Europeaneness..#FifaWorldCup

@DCC_help @DubCityCouncil can you please look into traffic signaling between Trinity Hotel and Garda Station on Pearse Street. I have raised it on your portal with correspondence number: TRF837829332; that one signals f**ks up the entire city centre traffic!

Assnal would have won had it been corner shootout instead of penalty😔 #PSGARS

@elonmusk @nikitabier can you provide an option for users to prefer feed w/ accounts with real names/faces? Accounts are just hiding behind fake/dummy names, with no accountability of their tweets. Prefer reading @TRobinsonNewEra than a racist ragebaiting from grandma’s couch..

Can any journalist ask @realDonaldTrump if he would have started the war if he was given the Nobel? @CNN @ANI @FoxNews @ABC

Every by-lane in Mumbai is able to join the main road, creating countless intersections. Just try closing half of these and see how smoothly traffic moves. Right now there's congestion every 50 metres causing a gridlock every few minutes. Easy solution. @MTPHereToHelp

[Raghav Dave @Raghav2807]

2/2 and 2 intersections at the end. Similar logic has been implemented in heavy congested areas in Delhi (Kingsway Camp) and Hyderabad (Madhapur-Hitec City) with huge success. Happy to help!

@MTPHereToHelp @RoadsOfMumbai @mybmcwardKW
1/2 Recommendation to ease traffic on a busy road in Andheri West. A 1km stretch has 6 intersections, and traffic clogs at each. Close all the intersections and open one intersection for u-turn in the middle

Has X changed some feed algorithm that my entire feed is filled with thread posts! Not that I have any complaints!

[Raghav Dave @Raghav2807]

Right after the meeting of @realDonaldTrump and @ZelenskyyUa, my @X feed was full of hatred for Trump. Did not expect that given @elonmusk affiliation. But due credit to this platform, feels less biased and censored!

[Raghav Dave @Raghav2807]

The content of this post feels very much like a conversation between uncles at a dinner. Anecdotal and hypothetical, with no data or facts to back it up. Not that I disagree with it, but when you are tasked to run a country, you got to move out of X and look at real data outside!

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:

Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.

A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.

A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.

(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).

More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”

Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.

Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.

“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.

This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.

That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Feels good to have your feedback addressed. Way to go @CSMIA_Official

A tip for all stock market investors: till the time BJP is in power, sell all your stocks a week before parliament session begins. The opposition has no concrete agenda to counter the government, and relies on rumours and fabricated stories that die in few weeks. #adani #rafale

@MumbaiMetro3 @MMRDAOfficial @CSMIA_Official
There is absolutely no directions provided once you exit T2 to get to the Metro 3 station. And the path is also via the parking level. Feels like someone has put in extra efforts to make sure people don’t take the metro! Weird :/

@IndiGo6E your latest iOS app has been the smoothest experience I have ever had while booking any ticket. The design is aesthetic and pleasing. Hope your flight experience is atleast half this good!

[Raghav Dave @Raghav2807]

@KTRBRS sir, looking at the misrule in Telangana, I am sure the voters have realised their mistake. Please get your party’s act together and get this joke of a government out. It’s disheartening to see a great state degrade so bad.

[Raghav Dave @Raghav2807]

@theskindoctor13 Never. Indians lacks sports intellect and can only comprehend cricket. Watched hockey at India pavilion in Paris, and except 3-4, no one had any clue what rules are. Better spend that money on different industries and grow the economy rather than embarrass yourself at big stage.

@BBCSport Shouldn’t he have taken some (performance enhancing) drugs given he had ‘legit’ reason to, and definitely USADA would have helped him with it? Seems like a gold medal lost for the poor country🥲

[Raghav Dave @Raghav2807]

Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos.
