everything is quantifiable, you just need to ask the right questions.

18 months back, I quit my corporate job and here's everything I have been doing since then to reclaim my soul from the corporate sweat shop and reconnect with the curious child I once was 🧵

Apart from IRDA complaint (and moving to a better provider when the supposed best ICICI health advantage apex blah blah is garbage in terms of user experience and sticking to their own policy wordings), what else I can do?

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

@ICICILombard rejected my preventive health check up claim of 9k, even when my policy document states a reimbursement upto 10k for my sum insured, 50L.
Raised a complaint on 29th Oct, still haven't heard a peep from them yet.
This concerns me of their reliability as a provider.

@niks_1985 The hollowness must be easier to ignore when it's echo bounces off cubicle walls with a tasteful grey shade. It's not exploitation if you've got slack emojis.

I forgot to scan the enable tag while leaving home and now I can only use the shitty browser versions of IG and X until I go back home.

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

Used NFC tags to convert my phone into a brick, only essential apps enabled. To enable other apps, I have to go outside and scan an NFC tag inside my shoe rack.
Added a failsafe measure to check every min if I enabled an app via settings and disable it again if focus mode is on.

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

Running this experiment for a week. Let's see if I manage to do more work from my todo list or spend less time on phone.

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

need recommendations for apps that can block specificed apps if an NFC code is scanned.

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

shot two overhyped things in one go, should I be worried?

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

severance is like Nolan movies for normies. Just a touch above to make them feel smart about themselves and that's pretty much it.

@Ha_shit naah I'll make a blanket statement - don't trust any recommendations on x

@oyesuna brave new world indeed

My mom’s idea of wishing us happy anniversary- a WhatsApp story. No call, no text. Just vibes.

@Ha_shit stalker alert

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

@Ha_shit self deprecation fund me 100 rupees

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

@Ha_shit So you're finally accepting that was a date?

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

@ArchieeAgarwal bolte hai, not the younger idiot ones (uncle type, senior in career, dependent on their wives kind) when they don't want to be educated but just want to seem like they are so rational.
Besides, it's forced ignorance and unko educate karna is not someone else's responsibility.

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

Men want to be perceived as all rational, logical, and analytical until you start talking about patriarchy. They throw all logic out of the window and be like - "I don't understand", "it's our culture", "please educate me" 🤮

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

@Ha_shit Disagree. Math is one of the tools to build logical reasoning. Just because it's the most popular tool doesn't make it synonymous with reasoning itself.
bad at running != bad at movement

Have you forgotten about the SDEs and DS leaders we know - great at math but dumb as fuck?

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

I do not recommend this, otherwise you would end up trying to solve a murder mystery using total cost, total revenue, marginal cost, marginal revenue curves in a perfectly competitive market, in your dreams

[Prashansha @reignofcat]

This morning instead of grabbing my phone I grabbed microeconomics book!
First thing after getting up 👀 I haven't been this person for a looooooong time and love this corporate detoxification.
