Being opinionated about life on my blog and here. I do dumb things routinely to learn why not to do it.

X should have a filter which removes AI generated thought leadership quotes.

I would pay for premium to use that feature.

Congress supporting TMC is absolutely flabbergasting

West Bengal

TMC was defeated not by the BJP :

But by :

Election Commission

Central Forces (CAPF)

and by the disenfranchisement of

2.5million voters

This election was stolen not won !

We must stand by Mamta

@BeBusyLearning @HebbaleNiranjan @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharamanoffc @FinMinIndia What you pointed to is that there is not need for a clearance certificate, but there is no mention of the form itself shouldn’t be submitted. Every reference I looked at suggested that citizens do need to fill the form and submit it.

As a Bengali, it’s sad to see that this is what people will vote for! Whats more insane is that with AI, minimum basic income actually might be the need of the hour.

I wonder if we as a society have a head start in how the economics of this works given how we have been doing this for a while now.

All unemployed youth in Bengal will receive ₹3,000 in their bank accounts on the first of every month.

We will provide ₹21,000 to every pregnant mother for the care of her child.

The BJP government will implement 33% reservation in government jobs, and from 1 June, all women will get free bus travel.

The BJP government will increase the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi from ₹6,000 to ₹9,000.

Been a claude-code max (200$) plan user. I generally burnt through 50-60% usage. Now 4 days into renewal I am 95% down. I am sure Anthropic is curtailing tokens even for claude code users.

@anant_garg I wonder if he got a notification too

I wonder what algorithm Facebook uses to match and recommend people to be friends. Randomness pro max!

@_svs_ Seems like Hindi translation of "nala", which could also colloquially translate to water source.

What's crazy is this isnt applied on investments! More rational tax reforms needed if India wants to preserve intellectual working class whom AI can't replace

In Parliament today I proposed optional Joint filing of Income Tax Returns for married couples.

Family A
Both spouses earn ₹10 lakh each.
Total household income is ₹20 lakh.
Tax: zero

Family B
One spouse earns ₹20 lakh. The other stays home to raise their child.
Total household income is ₹20 lakh.
Tax: ₹1.92 lakh

The only difference is how the salary is split between the two spouses.

One roof. One kitchen. One household budget. But when tax time comes, the family disappears.

The tax system sees two individuals. A husband and wife become strangers. No clubbing of income or rebates.

In Parliament today I proposed optional joint filing of Income Tax Returns for married couples, so families with uneven incomes are not unfairly penalised. If implemented, then Family A and Family B both will pay Zero Tax.

@zomatocare Deleting my tweet, your person responded albeit a little delayed. My assumption is VIP mode entitle me to get the customer executive to give me a call and update me about the issues without me having to wait on chat.

@phoenskk @jasveer10 Look me up. I have been an employee all my life.

[Shouvik Ghosh Roy @shouvik]

@phoenskk @jasveer10 Hire people not looking for jobs 🙂

[Shouvik Ghosh Roy @shouvik]

@phoenskk @jasveer10 Clearly interview process needs to evolve to eliminate such people. If you keep getting such candidates in the pipeline, you need to introspect how you are hiring

[Shouvik Ghosh Roy @shouvik]

@jasveer10 Formula is benchmark skill, figure out what is the best comp the person can get and then pay 10% more than that. I would rather fire if they didn’t justify the return on comp.
