Roughly 2Cr people pay direct income tax.
But 5Cr Indians take a foreign holiday.

This fact needs to be fixed.
And, everyone knows this.

But, the focus of our taxation is to extract maximum juice out of 2Cr people already paying. And, harass them to death.

@uajain_ 's continuing work on destaging @Raspberry_Pi 's VCHIQ driver has had another essential series taken for staging-testing. This was a big rework - and brings us much closer to being able to upstream Raspberry Pi 4 ISP support! \o/

🇮🇳 India triumphs at 45th Chess Olympiad, winning both Open and Women’s competitions 🏆

India has come a long way since Vishy Anand paved the way for the new generation of chess players. Young talents have emerged and grown to become some of the top players in the world. Gukesh D triumphed at the Candidates Tournament earlier this year, and now India has completely dominated the 45th Chess Olympiad.

Today, if you are interested in installing some solar panels but don't have the roof space necessary because you live in an apartment or a rented house, there's no solution. Despite the subsidies, only about 10% of urban households have rooftop solar. That means many people are conscious about being sustainable but can't do anything.

@sundaygrids is taking an interesting approach to solve this problem. They setup solar power plants in other locations and allow people to reserve a part of the capacity in the plant. This generates credits, which can be used to reduce the power bill, even though the plant is in a different place. They are now live across India.

Various governments are now coming up with regulations to encourage third-party solar models. I think this is a cool way to make solar accessible to the masses.

We've invested in @sundaygrids through @Rainmatterin. 1/2

"Indian metros are choked!" - I said to my parents in 2016 after living 10 days in BLR.

One of my good decisions in the last decade or so, was not to my move to any Tier-1 areas in India!

The internet feels increasingly broken. News sites are paywalled or account walled, Reddit is nag walled, Google search spams ads and SEO to the point of uselessness, and now Twitter is account walled. Web browsing feels horrible now.

This one is my favorite - they only accept cash at centers but won't tender you any return change. It your responsibility to figure out "how much" you will going to be charged and present exact amount.

All in all, visas suck!

[Ujjavala Bothra @ujjavalabothra]

Had my @VFSGlobal appt today - I am convinced every step of this process is broken :/

1. My turn, for an 11:30am appt, came at 2pm - what is the point of booking a slot?
2. Apparently, the document checklist on Norway's website is outdated - Speechless!
3. 1 page print = 150Rs!?
