@vineet_mausam Will it rain around the SB road area at 7pm and beyond?

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

@roh1 Indeed! Always a pleasure to catch up with you @roh1.

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

@dhruvaray Lovely gift! Thank you very much dhruva 😊

Working with global teams for a very long time has had a very funny side effect on me.
Every-time I check the time, I mentally calculate the time it will be in 2-3 other time zones that I have colleagues/customers in! For no reason whatsoever 😊

Anyone else faces this?

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

I would love a CoPilot type assistant in WhatsApp.

Delete all “good morning”/“happy XXXX” messages
Search for a specific document or content in a document
Search for a non saved contact
Summarize all the (unread) content in a chat

And many more!!

How many times have you entered your password when you were supposed to enter the user name (making your password visible!) especially when someone is watching over your shoulder?

“Shoulder Surfing” gone bad!

What a pain this is!

God forbid if you have any car insurance policy up for renewal, be ready for the barrage of calls/emails/messages and any other possible form of comm trying to sell you a renewal! Worst time. Just close the renewal as soon as you get the first reminder, it all stops right after.

I have a less than 25% success rate in getting the hands free/motion sensing taps in wash basins to work for me! And that success is also after a lot of struggle involving waving the hands all over the basin.

How about you?

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

@NupurDaveAuthor Even I do that many times, but I quote Bollywood! And just a very few famous ones from Hollywood like “because you can’t handle the truth” 😊

@alertsource I vary between #1 and #2. But mostly #2.

Yes sir, doing good. Hope you are doing good too.

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

Which anxiety do you prefer?

1. The one caused by not checking your emails in the morning!

2. The one caused by the emails that you checked in the morning!

In the ideal world, you shouldn’t have any anxiety! But as we all know, nothing is ideal.

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

Everyone, for tomorrow remember that only Ukadiche Modak count. Pls don’t post or share pictures of any other type of “modak”! And ideally they should be hand made with the “saran“ made of jaggery. Some unevenness is good. The ones made using a cast will be lower in the rankings.

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

@chetandeshpande Absolute agree. I meant the above in a humorous way!

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

While airline captains keep giving a lot of information and instructions, the two instructions that really matter are

1. Cabin crew, prepare for departure!

And

2. Cabin crew, prepare for landing!

Everything else is just small talk.

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

Getting thru airport security with your pants loosely held as the belt is arnd your neck, shoes in one hand, phone/electronics in the other hand, bag on the back, trolley being pushed by one hand…..it’s is a modern miracle that you don’t lose anything and maintain a +ve spirit!

If you have traveled Southwest Airlines in the US, it almost seems that their flight attendants have a script writer writing jokes for them. They are hilarious!

Need to check their hiring process and questions. Love them.

@SouthwestAir

Packing bags and managing it within the prescribed weight limits is always a stress inducer. Always gets one very worked up. But in my view, after the dust settles down, it always works out! This story almost always ends well!!

[Sameer Dixit @sameerdixitweet]

“Psychology of Money” authored by Morgan Housel is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. Simple and highly impactful story telling.
Highly recommended.

I recently moved to a MacBookPro and I fail to understand why it took me so long to convert. What a transformation it has been in my overall productivity! And I have started loving to do even traditional monotonous routine boring activities just because I am using a Mac 😊

@AshRathi I knew this was coming when I was typing my tweet! I take the 5th on this 😊
