Bought an ASUS laptop in 2021 for around ₹56,000. It served me well for nearly 5 years and was still working fine as my secondary laptop.🙂
Recently, I visited the ASUS Service Center in Nehru Place, Delhi for what appeared to be a battery issue, possibly due to battery cycle degradation. I was literally able to use the laptop in front of them, yet I was told that the motherboard was also dead.🤡
Then came the repair quotation: ₹54,167. 🤡
What frustrated me even more was the experience itself. Poor communication, charges being added later, no clear explanation of terms and conditions beforehand, and a very dismissive attitude from the staff.
It genuinely felt like dealing with a "SARKARI BABU" rather than a customer service center.🤡
While waiting there, I also noticed other customers raising similar concerns about communication and service quality.
A ₹54k repair estimate on a ₹56k laptop that was still functioning is honestly difficult to digest.
Expected much better from @ASUS and @ASUSIndia.
🚨Launching Depth (building in public)
I've been tracking my body obsessively for 18 months.
Wearables. CGM. Blood-work. Lost 25kgs. 3x Hyrox. Multiple marathons.
I still couldn't answer one basic question: what's actually working?
So I built something. 🧵
Okayyyy soooo I'm thinking about doing an Art Project for my room. I have a corner which isn't getting used and is pretty dull so I'm thinking of designing my own posters and recreating this room decor. Will share updates soon 👀✨
uhhh...so here's a little something i built 2 weeks back in the hackathon though the original trajectory has changed significantly since then and the core idea has a lot of caveats, but here's what i thought and built in 24 hours:

imagine you're deep into a brainstorming session with an AI, going back and forth for an hour and then suddenly the free tier rate limit hits.
it's a huge mental overhead to switch to another AI because now you got to re-explain the whole thing once again.
you're the only one who knows what you're working on right now and to query any AI assistant you got to carry all that knowledge alone.
Meniscus is the layer that finally holds that knowledge for you. it sits outside your tools and maintains one shared picture of what you're working on - your current working state, what you've tried, what's blocking you and what's decided.
here's a short demo of what it looks like (absolutely boring) and to read about the architecture, have a look at the notion doc below (that i created during those 24 hrs :D)
Proud to announce I shared my first Instant on Instagram Today.
No generational wealth or got lucky just some chronic internet usage and the audacity to think I look pretty.
