As strident a patriot and a nationalist as I, someone who lived 14 years outside the country and returned, tried his hand at a startup and shut it down, who runs a manufacturing unit, advised his daughter last night that perhaps returning to academia in India might not be the best option for her, as a GC category person.
It pains me immensely that I had to advise her so. Please first create the conducive conditions for our youngsters to work here without fear.
Suffering imaginary pain from the future is called anxiety. Enjoying imaginary success from the future is called manifestation. Some delusions have better branding.
At the traffic signal, a middle aged man sitting in the back of a Tata ace spat a mouthful, leaving a fresh patch of GuTKa, in perhaps a perfect Fibonacci pattern, on the street. Forget BJP or INC, this country is cooked for another 3 generations atleast 🥁
1) Yes guys, you will NOT pay the UPI charges.
2) Zerodha (the MERCHANT) would.
3) But because Zerodha will pay for UPI. You are now likely to pay for brokerage, to make up for this.
So see: you are not paying for UPI.
Technically, 0 tax increase on you.
Be happy, smile :)
@anjalihegde I feel reciprocation should be part of it too. I know it’s difficult to help someone and forget about it, but the person who helped shouldn’t keep bringing it up, making you feel indebted, or using it as leverage.
That’s when true humility comes in.
Last year I got involved in a court case and it taught me the following:
- Never mess with people who have time and very little to lose.
- If you do pick up a battle when you're right, don't back off. Use your resources well, and stay calm.
- Listen to your gut when it says somebody has bad intentions or something is too good to be true.
When are we gonna get movies like this again? I wanna go to the theater and enjoy a movie till the end with comedy, action, and romance – what a movie!

@AnanthShubhakar Maybe one day, AI could let us explore something similar-not with a real human, of course, but inside a simulated environment.
An AI ecosystem with everything we know about human development could potentially model different outcomes.That would be interesting.
A Thought
What if we raised a human from birth with zero exposure to caste, religion, God, spirituality, gurus, or any supernatural ideas?
They'd have access only to evidence-based science and technology.
1/6
They wouldn't blame or thank God for their successes or failures.
They'd have no concept of God to begin with.
Obviously, such an experiment is impossible.
That hypothetical experiment fascinates me.
3/n
Would they eventually invent a God or religion of their own?
Or could a human live an entire life without needing any of it?
Would they still look for something beyond science to deal with suffering, uncertainty, success and failure?
