Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in new interview on orbital datacenters:

"The challenge of course is that cooling, you can't take advantage of conduction and convection, so you can only use radiation, and radiation requires very large surfaces, but that's not an impossible things to solve. There's a lot of space in space. We're going to go explore it. We're already radiation hardened. We have Cuda in satellites around the world. In the meantime, we're going to explore what is the architecture of datacenters look like in space. It'll take years, but that's ok. I got time."

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

En marge du G7, avec le Premier ministre Narendra Modi nous avons évoqué les principaux dossiers du Partenariat stratégique qui unit l’Inde et la France, dans les secteurs de l’énergie, de la défense, de la recherche et de la culture, et je dois le dire : quel élan !

An Indian student Jaahnavi Kandula from Andhra Pradesh was studying in USA.

She was killed in a road accident by a Police car in January 2023.

Now, 8 months after accident, a bodycam video of Daniel Auderer, who is Vice President of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, has gone viral on social media.

He was laughing about her death & said that "She was 26, anyway… She had limited value....just give $11,000".

Is this the value of an Indian immigrant student in USA?

Take a bow, Ogilvy - what an outstanding line of thought - 'tea' as India's social network! So, offering tea becomes 'friend request', people's smiles become 'Likes', the fragrance of tea becomes 'trending', and more! Perfect ad for World Social Media Day, today - June 30, 2023.

A NOTE ON FATHER’S DAY:

When I came to Mumbai, I stayed as a paying guest in a posh building in Pali Hill. Not that I could afford it, I was lucky to get it cheap for an emotional reason. The landlords were an old couple and the apartment was huge. Their children were all abroad. They were lonely and afraid that if something happens to them who would be there to take them to hospital.

They gave me a small room to live. I was struggling and used to buy very cheap food like bhelpuri, vada pao etc from Linking Road, heat it in their microwave and eat alone in my room.

One day, auntie asked me to eat in their dining room. So, next day I bought some extra bhelpuri and offered them. Hesitantly, they excepted it. Uncle told me that it was after some 20 years they had eaten street food. As their children had asked them not to eat street food.

Slowly, this became a ritual, They started waiting for me to come back with some street food. This brought joy in their life. It also gave me a sense of family. They told me this must remain a ‘secret’ between us and I must never tell their children, just in case we ever met. Their children called every weekend but they never ever mentioned this ‘secret’.

I started researching for all famous street food vendors in Mumbai. I travelled distances in local trains, walked miles to get some special street food from corners of Mumbai. Kheema Pav of Gulshan-e-Iran at Crawford Market or Dosa from Anand at Ville Parle or Bun Maska and Mava Samosa of Mervan’s at Grant Road or Samosa with Chola of Guru Kripa in Sion or Khichdi of Swati Snacks or Sadguru Pav Bhaji from Chembur.

It gave me purpose and hope to old couple.

We became a small family seeking that ‘dining table’ moment of bonding. Uncle was very old, 90ish. He would tell me same ‘kisse’ everyday. Later, I learnt from auntie that the entire day he didn’t speak. This was the only moment when he came to life.

Gradually, his health started detiorating. He started forgetting. Then came a time when he forgot that I wasn’t his real son. One day, on his birthday, I brought poori and aloo ki sabzi from Pancham Pooriwala near VT station. He smelt it for a very long time and then he called me by his son’s name. Auntie told me most of his working life in town, he had same poori aloo for lunch as his office was next door to Pancham. Once he retired, his son asked him not to eat it anymore. After relishing it for more than an hour, he got up and walked very slowly, with his walker, to his room and came back with a box. Once again, he addressed me with his son’s name and gave it to me. “I had kept it for the day when you grow up to fulfill a son’s duty. Today, you did. It’s yours now.”

When I opened the box, there was a ‘Hero’ fountain pen in it. Later auntie told me that he had written his engineering exam with this. The pen was gifted to him by his father.

That night, I hadn’t found a Hero pen. I had found a father.

That pen is with me to be given to a son who will bring me my favourite food, when I am old and cold.

We are born to one father. But we can be son to many fathers.

Happy Father’s Day!

When I went to Business School in the 80’s, the world was obsessed with the rise of Japan in the Auto world. If I had told my international classmates that India would one day surpass Japan in terms of output (yes, much to still learn in quality) I would have been laughed at. 💪🏽

An old video, but I never tire of seeing it…Put the glass down. Especially on Monday mornings. Don’t walk into work still holding it and letting it get heavier… #MondayMotivation

You’d be glad to know @TansuYegen that this stopper, called the Rear Underrun Protection device, has been made mandatory by the Govt of India since 2014. All Mahindra trucks have this factory fitted. Thank you, @nitin_gadkari, for the forward-looking step

Not many 90 second videos change how I view the world.

But Charlie Munger arguing envy drives the world — not greed — certainly did:

Lunch at a California Burrito outlet in Bengaluru with the founder of the chain Burt Mueller, who came to India as a student and founded the chain. Now the chain has over 50 outlets across Bengaluru, Hyderabad and New Delhi NCR.

Great food and a fantastic business built by Burt!
