Everyone's doomsaying for Cong in 2028—fiscal bombs? Pothole apocalypse? Bengaluru floods? Meh. BJP left surplus, still tanked '23. Voters want jobs/dignity over audits. Anti-incumbency? Brutal. But Lingayat powerplay could flip it.

@gandabherunda @IndiGo6E I've realised booking in advance offers no benefits.

@vadakkus First Mr Vadakkus, there are no busses, second there's no one to enforce it. We will need a line of cops to stand from end to end preventing transgressions.

@gandabherunda @IndiGo6E I meant no Indian airlines--like AI or anyone else. Aviation Sector is literally at the mercy of Indigo and Air India!

@raggedtag Why has he decided to quit? I don't think the news is true.

[Vj Shanks @VjShanks]

BSc in Pure Sciences should be offered as an Integrated offering with MSc--with opportunities to train in pure sciences R & D during the course. So, a student cannot quit after the BSc. Merely having a building and classrooms will not qualify in the future to be an "Institution"

We should normalise people starting to work at 18. Spending years 18-22 in Jhumritalayya National University studying African Studies/English Literature are not monetisable anymore. All formal education should end at 18, and the focus should be on skills through apprenticeship.

[Vj Shanks @VjShanks]

Commerce Graduates do this--from Year-2 of their Graduate Course, they work as Apprentices in a CA's office or a Company Secretary Practice, earn a stipend and eventually they become CAs or CSs. Why can't an Engineering student do this? As a BE Chem E student, I can tell you how useless the theoretical learning is.

@calm_sutra He is a chomu and frankly I am surprised at his IIT-IIM pedigree. Bald head is totally empty.

Dehatism is a symptom of living in dysfunctional governance with absent state capacity to enforce & extreme poverty, yet people hail Sanjay Gandhi as some visionary when he used criminal ways instead of Industrialization.

Test of an average intelligence is being able to figure out which ideas are the same and which are opposing.
You are badly flunking this test, bro.

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald

The internet increasingly rewards the angrier, louder side, the more certain-sounding side, often the stupider side.

Maybe intelligence is being able to understand why the other side believes what it believes.

Introducing WTF: Discourse.

Two opposing ideas. Two people who actually believe them. No winner. Just the strongest version of both arguments.

You decide what you believe.

Faye dzousa has been instrumental in raising one of the biggest zombie force on Instagram.The low iq zombies in her comment section is so mentally degraded that even she fears them. Few weeks back the Grand Mufti made a highly misogynistivc statement she didnt posted abt it the time of the incident but a week after she posted abt it with a caveat on how Kerala CM reacted becoz she knows her zombie audience.

Govt of India's failure to punish fake news and propaganda on social media has incetivized this zombies and now it has reached unprecedented levels.Bjp needs to realise that winning elections on ground isnt enough today this ppl are brainwashing young minds that will lead to chaos and anarchy in a few years.

The PM Chose to be on Nikhil's podcast he is on the buisness leaders panels on PM Modi's foreign visits most of the time and here he is trying to play smart against the same man.

[Vj Shanks @VjShanks]

@manohar_sram Yes! Absolutely

[Vj Shanks @VjShanks]

My mum discussed this with me when I was very young. Maybe 10 years or less. She said (in response to someone we know who committed suicide), people who commit suicide are the worst cowards, they don't have the guts to face life...and they leave behind a trail of emotional destruction. Exactly what you're saying. And it's good to teach the kids whenever you feel they're ready.

[Indian Tintin @IndianTintin_]

Nikhil Kamath has invited the likes of Faye D'Souza on his show. If you get your news from her you are worse than Boomers addicted to Whatsapp university. A forwarded WhatsApp message is not inherently less credible than an Instagram reel. Format does not determine truth. Evidence does. If your entire worldview comes pre-packaged by influencers, you are still outsourcing your judgment. Before mocking somebody else’s information bubble, examine your own. Propaganda remains propaganda, even on shiny Insta pages. Even worse because all Faye does is post news she sees on X/Twatter or elsewhere on social media as a text post on insta. Does not even have the energy or aptitude to make a reel. Boomers may be the whatsapp university generation but Zoomers are the Insta university generation.

@udupendra You're a horrible guy.

[Shachi @ShachiGambhir]

It's really funny how students simply celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi has triggered folks. Apparently it's defilement of the premise!

Just say it - you have a problem with us Hindus celebrating our festival. What a horrible, horrible guy!
