When I was young, I dreamed of owning a Porsche car. Today, I can afford one. Yet all I want is a comfortable car that takes me from point A to B.
Age has a way of changing aspirations. Simplicity, comfort and peace of mind become the real luxuries.

The Kafkaesque dystopia that is Indian service recovery. If all goes well, it goes well, but if it doesn't, something breaks down, then Boy, Oh Boy are you screwed or are you screwed.

Dear @airtelindia I am unable to contact my 80-year-old mother because your employees have deactivated her account through incompetence. She had mistakenly recharged a wrong number and when she made the mistake of informing you, you asked her to first recharge her correct number. But when she did, you deactivated her number through clerical error. No amount of explanation from us has helped. Your bot may express remorse and ask for details. Here: CBNRV3BLR20260501623428

Interesting thread on creating Indian champions. The lack of regulatory and credit ease is telling. Especially the regulatory blockers at the state and municipal level. The friction is huge and ignored.

India's industrial policy gets many things right — targeted incentives, production-linked rewards and long-term strategic focus.
Yet one critical question remains.
Are we building tomorrow's champions—or mainly backing firms that are already champions today? 🧵

Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn.
Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together.
It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe.
Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.

In 1997, Brazilian soccer player Roberto Carlos took a free kick from 35 meters against France that seemed to defy the laws of physics as it curved around a wall of defenders at an angle that seemed impossible.
This “miracle goal” led a team of French physicists to publish a study in the journal New Journal of Physics, in which they explained that the extreme spin and speed created a “spinning spiral of the ball” that overcame gravity and air resistance.

Pune's garbage collection system is facing a massive crisis, and the reason behind it is absolutely shocking. Out of over 10,000 workers assigned to keep our city clean, only about 40% are actually doing their jobs on the ground. A detailed internal report by the solid waste management department reveals that around 450 to 500 sanitation workers are allegedly deployed at the private residences of political leaders, including MLAs, corporators, and former office-bearers. Instead of cleaning the streets, these municipal employees are reportedly being used for personal duties like housekeeping and driving, all while drawing their full salaries from the taxpayer-funded PMC budget.
What makes it worse is that this isn't a new issue. The investigation shows that some workers have been completely absent from their original cleaning postings for 5 to 10 years. Even though a detailed report on this mess was submitted to senior civic officials last year, political pressure and frequent transfers of senior officers have successfully delayed any concrete action. With the city's cleanliness visibly suffering, PMC Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram has now stepped in and ordered a strict verification process, promising that anyone found guilty of exploiting the system will face consequences.

In India, there are hordes who have a PhD in this.
No other culture even has a word for ,their favourite activity: "timepass"
En Italia hay una idea hermosa llamada “el placer de no hacer nada”.
Sentarse en calma, beber tu café y vivir el momento sin prisas.
Un recordatorio simple: a veces el descanso en sí mismo es la felicidad.
