The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a top book to read! A thread on all my reads of this year as I finish/pick books.
1. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant - currently reading.
In the last 2 months, on 3 different occasions, I have opened @JioHotstar to watch a movie, found something I liked but then stopped after just 5 minutes because of the insane ads every 10 minutes.
@JioHotstar subscription is the worst ever to exist. Four ads at a stretch when you begin a 17 minute episode and then 3 ads every 5 minutes. Phewww! Stopped watching everything on there except IPL!
Stagnant water outside a major techpark under the overbridge on #sarjapurroad from last 2 days! It's been years since this issue repeats every few months! Many dengue patients, closed shops and damaged vehicles are the least of worries! Simply unbelievable! #Bengaluru#sarjapur
How Systematic corruption looks :
I recently bought a small flat in Hyderabad. Horrified to see how corruption is normalized in registration process. They asked me to pay 25k cash for ' documentation fees', if I dont pay, some query will be raised & my registration stalled .
What's the most stress you have been under, at work? One time during middle of the week, I took a day off just to catch up on pending items at work without having to attend random meetings or provide a status update. 😆
Google search results have become horrible. The top 7-8 results for some basic search terms sometimes are just sponsored ads. I don't understand how a company whose primary competency once was world's greatest searching the internet freely, would let this happen.
Train 08291 running 9+ hours late. No water/food/cleanliness/ticket checking in this train & 48 hrs journey. Worst experience ever for my aged father and he has almost fallen sick now. This is supposed to be a 'super fast', 'summer special' train. @AshwiniVaishnaw@narendramodi
@RailwaySeva I have DMed the details. The train is still stuck 180 KMs away from its destination and it is already 10 hrs delayed. Just when we were thinking railways has improved a bit, we were proven wrong and it is all the masked publicity. Extremely disappointing.
@RailwaySeva@drmgtl@drmsbc Just in case, if someone thinks I am exaggerating the delay. I am not. Horrible! Delay itself wouldn't have hurt so bad if at least there was some water in the toilets of coaches.
@IRCTCofficial@IndianRailMedia@RailMinIndia And honestly, while advancements like vande bharat and all are great, it is imperative that we fix the bare minimum expectations of trains running at least within 3 hrs of expected arrival times and have water in the toilets.
You might as well not have this train at all! People with no tickets, other train passengers are all cramped in this train forcefully by TCs. Toilets do not have water from days. @IRCTCofficial@IndianRailMedia@RailMinIndia
@dineshpaii@paraschopra@_swanand (Sorry about randomly dragging you into this convo) Your thoughts on this? XD Dinesh works for Zerodha and I think they are bringing some folks back to office. :D
