@NGKabra I tried to get one, but no staff were available to assign it. I’m not sure if this is normal or because it was around 1 PM (possibly lunchtime). However, the lifts are working and in good condition on all platforms.

This is a photograph of Albert Einstein with an unassuming Indian man you probably haven’t heard enough about. He spent his life working on one idea: women should be able to live with dignity and make their own choices. Thread.

@aravind how could you keep track of so many fields, I am really curious to know if you maintain any system to refer to for different fields like filing in old days

[Joe Natoli @joenatoli]

@WesRoth Absolute bullshit.

Spend an hour with enterprise software tied to three different legacy systems and get back to me.

@NGKabra maybe they’ve exhausted all their good ideas, and politics is the one place where you can still share ‘insights’ every day.

Something tried after a long time, translation of a favourite poem.This one was rewritten so many times still couldn't do justice to original

@resonableman with new tax regime it's not useful anymore as it's limited to 2 lakh and most of the time tax is lower in new regime

'By contrast, reading the length of a single plot – also known as ‘deep reading’ – activates our left brain. This area of the brain is responsible for language, reasoning and abstract thinking. ' - good motivator for reading more books

Shri N Vittal passed away yesterday. He was the brain behind formation of STPI in the early 1990's which resulted in the booming Indian IT industry. 🙏🙏🙏@GoI_MeitY @ITBTGoK

1. Today is the 125th death anniversary of Gopal Ganesh Agarkar — liberal, rationalist, social reformer, crusader for individual rights, fearless writer. This bilingual thread is on his battles on behalf of women in 19th century Maharashtra.

Uber using data to predict how long your car will need is called Machine Learning

Uber telling you it’s 3 minutes so you don’t cancel the arriving ride for the next 10 minutes should be called Machine Lying.

"Make a 10-year plan! Follow your passion!"

Solid career advice, right?

Wrong.

Here’s why:

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

Watch out for 12-day weeks. When you've worked all week, and you're forced to work the weekend, the following Monday is the eighth day of last week, not the first day of next week. Add in a few more weekdays after that, and you've got 12.

Amazing thread that captures how blindly chasing metrics like Return on Equity, the rise of asset-lite business models promoted by leading business schools and favored by Wall Street & treating employees as disposable commodities, together have led to the present economic crisis.

Too little too late. The delay will be remembered

Don't understand fascination w/ this "states being allowed to import vaccines". The second wave is nastier precisely because the state ie governance capacity of states has been found wanting. Most states are struggling with medical infrastructure despite a year's lead time. (1/n)

Grateful to Mukesh Ambani for supplying 100 tons of oxygen to Maharashtra.

From enhancing India’s PPE capacity to undertaking the world’s largest private-sector led meal distribution program for daily-wage earners, @ril_foundation has disrupted philanthropy during #COVID19 🙏🏼

Thread on covid19 related confusions

[DR JAGADISH J HIREMATH @Kaalateetham]

Covid Appropriate Behaviour is the only shield we have against this virus & Vaccination is the only weapon to reach herd immunity.

People & Govts must put their efforts towards this.

Doctors/Hospitals/Medical Staff can only care & not guarantee life despite your recklessness
