First they warned citizens not to “spread panic.” Then a beam collapsed and someone died. When public authorities fear tweets more than structural cracks, the system is broken and corrupt to the core. A usual post announcing compensation will be made and all will be forgotten. Vishwaguru for a reason. @CMOMaharashtra @MumbaiPolice @MahaCyber1 @DrSanMukherjee
It is good that you have issued a clarification. Kindly check facts before posting such things henceforth. It would be good if you delete your post so that this misinformation doesn't spread further. @CMOMaharashtra @MumbaiPolice @MahaCyber1 @DrSanMukherjee

Does UPI support a sequential UTR? 1650 txn/sec (Linkedin mentions 10K) with systems agreeing on sequence would be difficult, and a global counter would bottleneck. Distributed ids fit better, but can't guarantee order. Can someone weigh in?
The UPI transactions have a serial number that is continuous for all UPI transactions PAN India ( I think) I just did 2 transactions with a gap of 100 seconds apart, and 165000 transactions were done in that period as per the transaction number. 1650 transactions per second The scale is unimaginable actually.

Reaching out to see if someone can help here. I had lodged an online complaint with Insurance Ombudsman on 14 sep. But the application has not moved a single step. What are the ways to connect with ombudsman office to follow up? The website isn't helpful @COmbudsmen @BeshakIN

I was high on India’s growth story. But not anymore. For years, I thought we were on the right path, it’s only that we’re a poor country (thanks to colonisation) but as our income grows everything will change. And that’s going to happen soon. We’ll have great infrastructure, cleaner roads, efficient systems and whatnot. But lately I’ve been feeling it’s just a story being fed to us, the change isn’t actually coming. The slow growth that we see, that’s not going to change anytime soon- in fact, it might get worse. Simply because corruption is too ingrained in the system and scarcity mindset supersedes our desire to do better for each other. Every single time. It’s not our fault. Good behaviour starts at the top. When our politicians and their rallies leave roads dirty, I can’t expect an average Indian to take the ‘Clean India Mission’ seriously. It pinches me when I pay tax because I know it’s not just being used to build better infrastructure, it’s going to someone’s pocket too. I would love to pay more tax, but all I ask for is more transparency into where it’s being used. Every time I interact with a govt institution, I am left in awe of how inefficient and opaque the processes are. It’s a nightmare to get things done if you have good ethics. ‘Additional fee’ is almost always expected to move anything. And there's unnecessary focus on language that also sometimes dictates how you're treated. Just recently, my neighbour lost their only son (22 yrs old) to a pothole accident, within 6 hours that particular pothole was covered, while all others around it weren’t. And within weeks, that one pothole is also back to the same condition. Imagine how they must feel. We talk about taking care of our citizens- it’s almost a JOKE. My friends keep telling me govt is focussing on bigger problems right now, but I have never really understood what those are. If you know the answer- please educate me. With AI and humanoids taking over in the next decade or so, we’re pretty much doomed. We will end up with millions of jobless Indians and I don’t expect the govt to do anything about it. Maybe they’ll prevent humanoids from becoming a reality in India the same way they don’t want self-driving cars. The only way I see us doing better is if entrepreneurs take charge of building better systems, funding research, improving healthcare and driving more innovation against all odds. All around me, young ambitious Indians are driving real change, and I am so freakin proud of our entrepreneurs. We need to celebrate them more for trying, for failing. For privileged Indians like me, we live in a bubble of our mostly privatised world and that’s nice because 80% of our time is spent at home/office. So I am not complaining about my life, this is not a rant. I truly want my country to do better, and I don’t see it happening rn. I'd love to know where I'm wrong. Until then, I hope India is thriving in some other universe, because I really believe she can.

A lot of people ask why so many Indians run abroad the first chance they get? Why some states have temples dedicated to foreign country visas? Why some people are so desperate to get away that they even risk death by drowning or freezing to illegally enter other countries? Why are Indians so desperate to immigrate? Because in the countries these people usually move to, they value life. They value people. They value you. Unfortunately, that particular concept is virtually unheard of in India. Here, lives are as important as money is to a sacrificial lamb. Because In India: The government doesn’t give a damn about you. The judiciary thinks you don’t even exist. People, in general, treat others like a piece of crap. And if you treat someone nicely, chances are they’ll backstab you at the first opportunity. Most of us have our souls and self-confidence destroyed, respawned, and then destroyed again on a daily basis. We get treated worse than a car in a Rohit Shetty movie. So why would anyone stay? In India A two-bit clerk in an obscure municipal department can make your life miserable. Any random ticket giver or clerk can abuse you. A part-time watchman outside a private building treats you like a criminal. Store workers treat you like a thief. Everyone treats you like a shirker. Your life is essentially a never-ending hurdles race that lasts for 70 years, if you make it that far that is. So why would anyone stay? In India You risk your life every single time you step out of the house. You can die when an illegal concrete slab, which was permitted by a corrupt babu, falls on you. You can drown in a sewage tunnel because some random bozo has stolen the manhole cover. You can burn to death in an illegally modified bus that the corrupt RTO has permitted to operate. You can be run over by a drunken idiot who’s been given a license by that same RTO. You can be crushed to death in a stampede caused by the incompetence of the police, who can’t handle a crowd. You can die after consuming poison labelled as medicine because the babu who was supposed to prevent it took a bribe and looked the other way. You can fall to death from a train because the railway authorities, after taking lakhs of crores in the name of safety, have blown it all away on "other things". At any point in time, you can get impaled, burned to death, crushed, fall off a cliff, or be killed by a guy with a sword, sometimes all of the above. Here, life is like the game Prince of Persia, except, unlike in the game, you don’t get three lives, nor can you restart. Once you are dead, you are dead. So why would anyone stay? And then comes the worst part. In India, Nobody is held accountable. Nobody faces consequences. Nobody gets punished. There’s nobody you can complain to — and where you miraculously can, nobody listens. People whose incompetence caused your death get promoted. Some even run important departments that enable them to kill more people. Every second of your life here is a herculean effort against the system, the process and the people. However, Hercules had 12 labours in total. In India, you face 12 labours everyday So why would anyone stay? Therefore, when someone actually gets a chance to get out, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they take it with both hands. P.S.: In the last six months, 22 children died because of fake medicine, 40 people were burned to death in illegally modified buses and 51 people died in stampedes. Those were 113 easily preventable deaths. Deaths mind you. DEATHS 113 innocent Indian citizens lost their lives. What happened after that? How many government officials were arrested? How many were punished? How many were sacked? What were the actions taken? How quickly we forgot everyone? The answers to these questions will tell you why many people don’t want to stay in India anymore.

Value of an ordinary citizen in India. I hope to see an uprising, something similar to Cuban Revolution, in my lifetime to throw away these leeches, politicians and babus, down the drain. Until then, enjoy being the 4th largest economy!

Lol. This is the state of Indian bureaucracy, this guy was responsible for policy making for quite some time. He thinks everyone lives in enclaved residences with manicured gardens. People who have experienced quality of life outside of India would never ever return to India for "innovations"
Donald Trump’s 100,000 H-1B fee will choke U.S. innovation, and turbocharge India’s. By slamming the door on global talent, America pushes the next wave of labs, patents, innovation and startups to Bangalore and Hyderabad, Pune and Gurgaon . India’s finest Doctors, engineers, scientists, innovators have an opportunity to contribute to India’s growth & progress towards #ViksitBharat. America’s loss will be India’s gain.

AWS just dropped their “agentic AI” tools. These AI agents can now handle complex multi-step business processes, make decisions, and adapt to changing conditions with minimal human input. I explored some of these and by the looks of it, the world of agentic AI, although nascent, has changed drastically. I’ll add them in this thread #AgenticAI #AWS

AWS Transform is probably the most enterprise-focused one - specialized AI agents for modernizing legacy .NET, mainframe, and VMware workloads. 19 years of migration experience baked into AI agents… that’s actually pretty clever aws.amazon.com/transform/

This is AWS playing the long game perfectly. While everyone’s obsessed with chatbots, they’re building the infrastructure for actual AI workers. The marketplace approach is perfect, let partners build specialized agents while AWS handles the plumbing. Perfect for the new generation of vibe coders.
