do you still read all the shipped code? or just verify?

[Sriram Balasubramanian @ramkalari]

@aravind Bad idea. No one should be judged by the marks they got. People get to know who a good doctor is and who isn’t.

[Sriram Balasubramanian @ramkalari]

Quit shorts. Read long form

@tunkuv You don’t have to bring down his cricketing achievements to make your point.

@paulg Imagine what some of us Argentina fans are going through.

@BoriaMajumdar @RevSportzGlobal Roko havent won a odi world cup in a decade. Yet they can play one more. But Sanju should be dropped after winning one.

An uncomfortable problem, I was hoping solving an easier version would be sufficient, turned out I needed to get stronger.

@crypto_india_ @chand2579 Im not that concerned about kohli. He seems to be in good white ball form and can be the anchor. However i will seriously consider Vaibhav instead of rohit or gill.

[Sriram Balasubramanian @ramkalari]

Vaibhav has to be in the odi team. Has to play the World Cup.

Most common mistake I make in math is reading the problem wrong

I don't know who else to tell this to, so I am going to tell my story here.

Every day is a struggle for a young business, but the last few months have been harder than usual.

We are a small Indian company. For more than ten years we have been building a homegrown brand in a product category dominated by big foreign players.

There are almost no Indian names in this space. We set out to be one.

We started in 2014. Over the years we began making parts in India instead of just importing, and we started selling in the US, Dubai, Nepal, Malaysia and South Africa.

We showed up at global trade fairs to represent an Indian brand on the world stage.

In 2023 we changed the import code we use for our product. We did not do this quietly. Every shipment was declared. Nothing was hidden. We didn't invent our approach.

We followed written professional advice and the way this product is treated in markets around the world.

And now we are facing a government demand running into tens of crores in duty recovery and penalties, plus personal penalties on the founders and even on an employee.

For a company our size, this is not a fine we can pay and move on from. This ends us.

We have not run from any of this. I am not built like that. It is not how I was raised. We have written to the authorities, met officials in person, and we have now filed a writ in the High Court.

All we are asking for is a fair treatment.

I set out to build in India and sell to the world. I am asking only that the system back honest founders trying to compete globally, instead of breaking them.

The process is the process, and it exists for a reason. But process should not feel like punishment.

From where I am standing today, it does.
I am not giving up. I have worked too hard for this. If you have read this far, please share it. If you know someone who can help, point them my way. Help me get the word out.

Today an incident happened in Hall of Chess, Chennai @AadhavArjuna . Hundreds of kids were playing inside the Hall of Chess for a state level tournament including my kid (Forking Knights 6th Tamil Nadu State Level Children's Chess Tournament 2026). Suddenly , honey bees started attacking kids and parents waiting outside . Ideally, those who are responsible of the premise should look for active beehives and clear it as and when possible because many kids are training over there.

Fortunately, we parked the car near the hall of chess, so we escaped from bee sting. But many kids and parents are affected. I urge the Honourable Minister to take action against those who are responsible.

Also, the restrooms and the hall of chess interiors look pathetic. When our TN chess players are scoring big in international stages, I don’t know what stopped the previous regime to build a world class air conditioned hall of chess for players in Chennai? I hope the current @CMOTamilnadu and @AadhavArjuna build something state of the art for Chess in Chennai and Tamil Nadu.

@RCBXICT @Ayush_Rajput17 @cae_sar__ @Goatlism @InnovativeOmK Amarnath instead of Dravid if ur playing on fast pitches

[Sriram Balasubramanian @ramkalari]

Proving something in math makes you enjoy it more than repetitive problem solving.

[Sriram Balasubramanian @ramkalari]

Underwhelming IPL with the exception of Vaibhav. Except RCB, all teams had balance issues that they couldnt overcome or executed badly like MI and DC. SRH was the one team that could have challenged RCB.

[Sriram Balasubramanian @ramkalari]

Should washy bowl to padikkal and pandya? He did bowl quite well to vaibhav.

[Sriram Balasubramanian @ramkalari]

People who dismiss Vaibhav as a test cricketer even before he has played tests are forgetting that aggressive players like Sehwag, Head, Warner have all done well in tests. Vaibhav will in all likelihood play pace very well abroad. His real test will be rank turners in India
