@_Kalyan_K@_sachinbansal@Flipkart, your team has developed such a bad ad mocking festival. Two personas are naming it differently instead of valuing the essence of it. Stop it.
If the story flips, your kart would become empty.
If your government can find enemies in every desert, every jungle, every mountain, every phone signal, every bank transfer, every border crossing, but somehow cannot fully dismantle elite child-predator networks at home, then your government is not failing.
It is selecting.
It is prioritizing.
It is telling you, very clearly, who matters and who doesn’t.
Foreign enemies matter.
Elite crimes do not.
That is the real American value system.
When it comes to foreign policy, we should always support our country's interests. It may or may not be the "right" thing according to personal preferences. The narratives may or may not be true. We may or may not like our government or their politics.
But for geopolitics we must learn to put our country's interests first. Especially during conflicts and war, there's no better duty as a citizen than to support our country, its government, and its armed forces. Politics and personal preferences must be kept away.
Because the adversaries use exactly these two to influence public opinion and interfere in democracies to arm twist the country's policies and actions. They use us and our minds as a malleable tool in controlling the country.
We should not allow that. So in this middle east war, look at your country's long term interests in the region, and if the government's actions align in protecting those interests and you. If so, support your government and take their stance. As simple as that.
@DrRajeshPatil20 I would still say Venezuela is next up for regime change efforts by the US. This may even be with the use of force under the pretext of drug war etc, instigating VZ and finding an excuse to bomb directly. And it may now happen without eveb Ru-Ukr deal. https://t.co/sEprpHCbrM
I failed IIT twice. Took loans I couldn't afford. Started as a Quality Engineer while my friends climbed faster. 25 years later, here's the timeline:
2000: Decided to become an Engineer from IIT
2004: Failed to get into IIT
2005: Failed to get into IIT a second time—reluctantly took admission in another engineering school
2006: Started preparing for grad school in US
2008: Ran around trying to get a loan to go to grad school.
2009: Graduated with an engineering degree in India
2009: Moved to the US for grad school at UPenn, started from scratch in a new country
2010: Struggled landing an internship, while all my friends had one.
2010: Clock was ticking on student loan installments
2010: Finally got an internship at a tiny startup
2011: Finally landed a job at the same startup
2012: Struggled through tech career beginnings as a QA engineer
2013: Doubted if I belonged, took a leap into customer-facing engineering
2014: Really felt like I'd arrived in my happy place—solving new business problems every day with engineering
2017: Google found me!
2019: Found this role called DevRel, found my love for learning out loud
2020: Launched some cool zero-to-one products
2021: Became a published best selling author
2023: Led Developer Advocacy for North America at Google Cloud
2024: Microsoft found me to lead Developer Strategy for GTM!
2025: Earned Wharton MBA, launched another best selling book, took the TED stage while building and leading a team with multi-billion dollar impact.
Story goes on...
The entire time, one truth kept me going: I had to believe in myself before anyone else would.
Failing IIT twice felt like the end of the world. But it wasn't my destination—it was just the beginning.
From a "Not-IIT" engineering school to leading developer strategy at the
world's biggest tech companies wasn't about being the smartest person in the room.
It was about showing up consistently, learning relentlessly, and never letting failure or fear make my decisions.
Don't give up on yourself. Your timeline is your own. Dream!
Dream big! You can only achieve what you can imagine..so don't hold back.

Dear @nitin_gadkari
We need a public website that shows:
> Which contractor built road
> Which babu approved it
> Total cost & ministers involved
> Firm responsible for maintenance
Contractors are becoming billionaires while people die on roads
Bring real accountability now!
@Ishansharma7390 You professionally acknowledge the mail (for his stand on education) and move on. You and your team need to introspect what went wrong and make lessons learned notes for all such cases. Others have said in this thread and that's another feed. Pick them up before the next.
