Sharing an absolutely terrible experience dealing with @airtelindia.
I am an unfortunate user of its broadband. Last 12 months the service has gone down atleast ten times. Rest of the time the speed of internet is slow and connection habitually cheats you when needed the most.

@GenericIPguy @kaul_vivek His Too big to Fail was also very gripping.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@kaul_vivek Catch 22 or Aunt Julia and the scriptwriter. Tough to decide.

@theliverdoc Dr Mathew Walker has written an excellent book on the subject “why we sleep”.
There are many questions here answered in the book.
He has a podcast also ‘the science and practice of perfecting your sleep’ available on Spotify.

@devinamehra Well deserved.
Congratulations.

@devinamehra @bhogleharsha @IndiGo6E On last travel from Chennai by Indigo, I thought I was sitting on a wooden bench.

@DalrympleWill From someone who reads everything you write.

@rmmacrae @Rainmaker1973 Correction: polyalkene.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@rmmacrae @Rainmaker1973 No, these are monomers.
Corresponding polymers are Polyalkyne and polyalkyne.
Alkane can’t have a polymer. There is no bond to be broken to form a chain.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@devinamehra Perfectly said. As it so happens the public has been inundated with such large numbers over last few years.

@bijurao @AratiKumarRao @GhoshAmitav @RobGMacfarlane Vijayendra Rao has given words to what I felt when I read the book a few months back. With our natural resources being stretched, we need more of this sensitivity all around us. Arati ji please accept my compliments for this wonderful work.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@devinamehra Agree 100% with you except for ‘The body keeps the score’ as I haven’t read it. Can safely assume that it should also be read.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@devinamehra As usual well said and well explained. Not very difficult to guess Mr Shah’s motivation, would hesitate to say inspiration.
We should be more worried about the challenges posed by automation and upcoming 4 day weeks. I shudder to think of millions whiling away time making reels.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@devinamehra Very well summarised.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@NGKabra It has taken me years to explain this simple fact to friends.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@ABsay_ek On his day he was incomparable.
Jadeja, though v good, is some distance behind so far as impact goes.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@NGKabra While one comes across such cases on daily basis, what defies common sense is someone with this background falling prey and that too for an amount this big. Something doesn’t add up.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@kaul_vivek A lot to think about.

[Jagdeepsingh Kochar @thusspakejsk]

@Schandillia Not really. The base wasn’t too different in 2004 and 2014. Also, the dependency ratio (touted so much for economic growth) was more favourable in 2014. If anything, the base was far more favourable in 2014 than 2004. Covid was the only negative in 2014-24. And so was 2008.
