@HathwayBrdband I had raised a relocation request and nobody has contacted me yet. Please let me know if you can do it in next 24 hrs else i’m better off getting a new connection from some other vendor and discontinue hathway.

@Hinduism_sci @grok is this true?

[Viveka @vivekh9]

@HathwayBrdband Its been more than a week now without proper internet. None of your numbers are reachable. Shutdown your operations in Bengaluru if you cannot provide the service.

[Viveka @vivekh9]

@airtelindia @Airtel_Presence , I've been charged for a Wi-Fi connection that was never set up and still have the unused equipment. Why am I being billed since 4 months for a service that wasn't even provided? This needs to be fixed! #AirtelProblems #Fraud

@Trip struggling to get my name corrected with you for a mistake of single alphabet. Charging me fees for it and then rejecting it. Horrible experience. Need resolution

[Viveka @vivekh9]

@airindia The issue is still not resolved. How come the airline doesn't have the capability in their systems to make a simple name correction of a single alphabet? I'm not asking for a complete new name altogether. You expect me to cancel and rebook? This isn't fair. #AirIndia

[Viveka @vivekh9]

@airindia Struggling to get my name corrected in the ticket with a mistake of single alphabet. Followed up with the travel app as suggested and raised a request via them which got rejected by you. Case #01599201.

@yamalmessi10 Did they do it? I'm facing the same issue.

A cheat code I wish I knew at 18...

The 4 Types of Luck:

In 1978, a neurologist named Dr. James Austin published a book entitled Chase, Chance, & Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty.

In it, he proposed that there are 4 types of luck:

(1) Blind Luck
(2) Luck from Motion
(3) Luck from Awareness
(4) Luck from Uniqueness

Here's what they are:

Type 1: Blind Luck

Completely out of your control:

• Where you are born
• Who you are born to
• Base circumstances of your life
• "Acts of God"

These are the truly random occurrences of the universe.

Type 2: Luck from Motion

You’re creating motion and collisions through hustle and energy that you are inserting into an ecosystem.

You increase your luck surface area through simple movement.

The increase in collisions opens you up to more lucky events.

Type 3: Luck from Awareness

Depth of understanding within a given arena allows you to become very good at positioning yourself for lucky breaks.

Naval says: "You become very good at spotting luck."

You can “spot luck” from a mile away because of your knowledge and experience.

Type 4: Luck from Uniqueness

Your unique set of attributes attracts specific luck to you.

“[This type] favors those with distinctive, if not eccentric hobbies, personal lifestyles, and motor behaviors.” - Dr. James Austin

Type 4 Luck actually seeks you out.

The Stages of Luck

I personally think of Types 1-3 as coming in stages as you grow up:

• Type 1 dictates your early years
• Type 2 as you hustle in your 20
• Type 3 as you gain experience in your 30s+

Type 4 is unique—it’s dislocated from age.

Always remember the Luck Razor:

When choosing between two paths, choose the path that has a larger LUCK SURFACE AREA.

Your actions put you in a position where luck is more likely to strike.

It’s hard to get lucky watching TV at home—it’s easy to get lucky when you’re engaging and learning.

There are lots of simple ways to increase your luck surface area:

• Talk to more new people
• Send more cold emails
• Write/share in public
• Participate in digital communities
• Spend time in rooms where you feel like the dumb one

To recap the 4 types of luck:

• Type 1: Blind Luck
• Type 2: Luck from Motion
• Type 3: Luck from Awareness
• Type 4: Luck from Uniqueness

Don't idolise people. Modi is God, Thackarey is God. Mamta is God. Yogi is God. Gandhi is God. Even our cricketers and actors are god. Such blind worshipping will get us nowhere. Idols can never be questioned. Democracy cannot function without asking questions.
