@nibmforum@airtelindia@Airtel_Presence once again the net is down. Even fibre seems down as some friends have shared in local groups. BSNL is also down. We have been pushed on to the digital way of life with UPI, quick commerce etc. but without a good consistent net provider, it's tough.
@Airtel_Presence@airtelindia Booked and paid for a new connection online from your website, your representative came and did the KYC needed to install the air fibre, but it’s been a week since then, no update, nothing. Unfortunate and frustrating experience.
Was on a flight to Dallas last month
Weirdly, there was a random guy next to me in first class.
He was wearing a hoodie, beat-up nikes with airpods in.
Figured he got upgraded with points or something.
But the real reason he was there blew my mind
We both ordered drinks, and he started talking.
Asked what I do...
Told him I run ecom stores, and do some coaching.
He nodded and I asked him the same.
"Yeah, I sold my company last year for $340 million"
I thought he was messing with me, but he wasn't.
This guy is 43, built a software company that helps restaurants manage inventory
"Boring as hell. Nobody cares about restaurant inventory software, but every restaurant needs it"
Said he spent a couple years building it.
Lived in the same apartment the entire time and drove a 2012 honda civic until 2023.
I asked why he's flying commercial if he just cashed out for $340M
He looked at me like I asked something obvious
"I fly commercial because the second you start thinking you're too good to sit next to regular people, you stop understanding what they actually want"
Said he built his company selling to normal restaurant owners.
People working 80 hour weeks just to keep their spot open.
"If I start flying private and staying in penthouses, I forget what their life looks like. I forget what problems actually matter to them"
Told me about a competitor who raised $50M, started flying private everywhere, hired a chef for the office
"His product got worse every year because he stopped talking to actual customers.
Started building features investors thought were cool instead of features restaurant owners needed"
The guy's company got acquired.
The competitor shut down 18 months later.
"The moment you separate yourself from the people you're selling to, you lose your edge. Proximity to reality is more valuable than comfort"
I asked if he's ever tempted to buy the flashy cars, the beach house, and the whole flex.
"I bought a nicer house. I travel more. But I'm not trying to look rich.
I'm trying to stay useful"
He said the wealthiest people he knows are the most paranoid about losing touch.
"They know the second they stop understanding normal problems, they become irrelevant"
We landed. He grabbed his backpack and walked off.
Silly me... a couple minutes later, I realized I never even got his details to hit up later.

@airtelindia@Airtel_Presence network and broadband down since the last 6-7 hours near the NIBM road- Pune. No way of connecting even to put in a complaint. Kindly resolve and let us know when the network will be back up..
Everyone talks about sustainability like it is a sacrifice. Sweden quietly treated it like a design problem.
They opened a full shopping mall where nothing sold is new. Not as a protest. Not as a lecture. As a place people actually want to spend time. Bright interiors. Well curated spaces. Skilled repair shops. Designers turning old materials into desirable products. It feels modern because it is.
What a great concept I hope this goes global

Another day, another road accident. A few more deaths. Pune of 2025.
A few days ago I saw a reel about the Stanford Car experiment.
In 1969, Philip Zimbardo left two identical cars unlocked in 2 different neighbourhoods. The one in the Bronx was vandalised within hours. The one in Palo Alto stayed untouched until he broke one window himself. After that single crack, the entire car was destroyed by regular people who simply saw disorder and joined in.
The takeaway was: the world doesn’t collapse in one dramatic moment. It disintegrates when small violations go unpunished. One broken window becomes the licence for a hundred more.
Sounds familiar?
Pune’s traffic didn’t become abysmal overnight & no, it’s not because “people have migrated to Pune.” It has fallen apart because small violations have been normalised. Because every day, thousands break basic rules & face zero consequences.
When small offenses get overlooked, big accidents are inevitable. Lives are lost.
