Cancer patient was about to die. She pleaded. Her plea has been listed 57 times. The court has still not heard it. Teesta Setalvad was about to be jailed. She pleaded. Her plea was listed out of turn. The court heard it at midnight.

Cancer patient is dead. Teesta is alive.

Taste is the moat today and more than ever!

If your design skills aren’t great yet, you’ll be fine. You’ll learn, you’ll improve.

But if your taste is off - if you can’t tell what’s good and what’s bad.
that’s where you struggle. That’s what holds you back.

Because in the AI era, execution is getting easier. Taste is the real moat.

Even if you never become a top designer, strong taste alone can help you build a million-dollar design studio by partnering with the right talent.

Making the General Category students suffer for the sins they did not commit is not correcting injustice but rather perpetuating it. Injustice in the campus today will be a threat to justice in the country tomorrow.

My views on the unjust UGC Equity Regulations:

[Anshul Saxena @AskAnshul]

He is Lt. Colonel Purohit.

He was falsely implicated in the Malegaon blast in 2008. At the time of his arrest, he was serving in Military Intelligence.

He was tortured and spent nearly 9 years in jail.

He fought for justice for 17 years, and when he was acquitted in 2025, he said "I am a soldier who loves this country unconditionally... The country is always supreme, its foundation must be strong".

A soldier was made to suffer for 17 years, while the architects of this conspiracy continue to walk free in the country.

And as Carl Jung said, no matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.

Good Products are Opinionated.

“Every great founder I’ve seen up close, or even from afar, is highly opinionated and they’re almost dictatorial in how they run things.

Also, early-stage teams are opinionated. And the products they build are opinionated. Opinionated means they have a strong vision for what it should and should not do.

If you don’t have a strong vision of what it should and should not do, then you end up with a giant mess of competing features.

@Jack Dorsey has a great phrase: “Limit the number of details and make every detail perfect.” And that’s especially important in consumer products. You have to be extremely opinionated. All the best products in consumer-land get there through simplicity.

You could argue the recent success of ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots is because they’re even simpler than Google.

Google looked like the simplest product you could possibly build. It was just a box. But even that box had limitations in what you could do.

You were trained not to talk to it conversationally. You would enter keywords and you had to be careful with those keywords. You couldn’t just ask a question outright and get a sensible answer. It wouldn’t do proper synonym matching, and then it would spit you back a whole bunch of results. That was complicated. You’d have to sift through and figure out which ones were ads, which ones were real, were they sorted correctly, and then you’d have to click through and read it.

ChatGPT and the chatbot simplified that even further. You just talk to it like a human—use your voice or you type and it gives you back a straight answer.
It might not always be right, but it’s good enough, and it gives you back a straight answer in text or voice or images or whatever you prefer.

So it simplifies what we looked at as the simplest product on the Internet, which was formerly Google, and makes it even simpler. And you just cannot make a product that’s simple enough.

To be simple, you have to be extremely opinionated. You have to remove everything that doesn’t match your opinion of what the product should be doing. You have to meticulously remove every single click, every single extra button, every single setting.

In fact, things in the settings menu are an indication that you’ve abdicated your responsibility to the user. Choices for the user are an abdication of your responsibility. Maybe for legal or important reasons, you can have a few of these, but you should struggle and resist against every single choice the user has to make.

In the age of TikTok and ChatGPT, that’s more obvious than ever. People don’t want to make choices. They don’t want the cognitive load. They want you to figure out what the right defaults are and what they should be doing and looking at, and they want you to present it to them.”

No one buys your product because it’s written in React. They buy it because it solves a problem. Your stack doesn’t matter.

An underdiscussed dimension of being a top performer: how much can they separate their work from their ego?

Litmus test. How many examples can you think of where they said (and meant)...?

1. I was totally wrong about that
2. She's much better than me at X
3. I don't know

A flute is hollow and music emerges from this state of emptiness.

When we feel an emptiness inside, we can either succumb to that feeling of helplessness or, like a flute, encourage creativity, artistic expression, and innovation to emerge from that hollowness…

Happy Janmashtami to you all.

Let the flute of Krishna remind us that we are all only instruments;

It’s up to each of us to create our own music…

@GabbbarSingh A child in my family was mauled by stray dogs—only sheer luck & urgent care saved them. Next time, it could be someone’s baby or elderly parent. How many must bleed before this danger is taken seriously?

San Francisco, Powell Street, 2015 -- remember how vibrant this block of San Francisco used to be 10 years ago. Now this entire block is pretty much abandoned. Uniqlo? gone. Walgreens? gone. H&M? gone. Tad's steakhouse? moved but not here anymore. Body Shop? gone. Sunglass Hut? gone. Marquad's with it's grand neon New York Times clock sign? gone. Desigual? gone.

There used to be a Blondie's Pizza here where you could get a great slice of pizza. I used to take my kids there for pizza.

The cable cars are still there but they just glide past a bunch of empty storefronts these days.

What a beautiful scene this was with the flags and all the people, and the lights on the trees back in 2015.

We forget what a beautiful city we once had before the progressives let the drug addicts ruin everything.

You can't improve something you're not proud of. You can't improve relationships you're not proud of, nor your personal self, and certainly not your country. I think it's about time our opposition party finds someone with a spine to truly fulfill its role in a democracy.
