Drove from Bangalore to Kolkata. That's one item done from the checklist. 😊

The whole of India is just one failed monsoon away from a drinking water crisis. Yet we are sacrificing land, water, forests, and food security at the altar of ethanol instead of safeguarding our water future.

Are we ready to have the conversation about how security checks in Namma Metro need to go? 1. Is a massive waste of time, increases friction, and causes burnout esp for short distance travel 2. Doesn't help security in any way. Do you know how much time a proper security check would take? Compare it with the time it takes to do checks in airports. 3. Are a drain on resources. Bengaluru's metro is the most expensive in the country. Why aren't we looking at ways to cut out frivolous expenses? In the picture - the evening crowd in queue for the security check at the Swami Vivekananda Metro Station. This metro station has just one entrance, and every evening there is a long queue with every person waiting for a good 7 to 8 minutes just to get in. Imagine reaching here, tired, after work, having to remove your bag, spread your arms, it's a humiliation ritual that serves no purpose.

in india, workers could die by having tonnes of molten steel fall on their body and yet there is no outrage from privileged ppl but the same section of society will call workers anti-national if they protest for safer working conditions. the only reason for this is caste system.

Government agencies pushed Food Corporation of India to drop its own ‘anti-monopoly’ safeguard from silo contracts. Guess what happened next? In the round that followed, Adani won all the contracts.  @SavyasachiAstha investigates newslaundry.com/2026/05/29/a…

That time William Shatner was emotional explaining how it felt to take his first flight into outer space and Jeff Bezos cut him off to spray champagne. Like a scene straight out of The Office

Oh shit does the food show up in your fridge for free if you WFH?? No one ever told me!!!

India's per capita water availability has fallen from 5,000 cubic metres in 1951 to around 1,400 today. Below 1,700 is officially 'water stressed.' Meanwhile every industrial corridor plan assumes water is just... there. A single steel plant needs millions of litres daily. Ethanol — our big energy diversification bet — uses 10,000 litres per litre produced. We plan factories without planning water. It's the blind spot nobody budgets for.

DigiYatra. At the Open Source Summit. Doing the keynote. Make it make sense? Genuinely asking.

The hottest country on the planet, chopping trees by the millions. Pouring concrete on every available square inch.

In case you want to read it, the autobiography of Italian PM, Giorgia Meloni with a foreword by PM Narendra Modi is available with us.

Anyone knows how to reach a human at @makemytrip ? Their AI chatbot does not understand my problem. If I ask to talk to a human it gives me a phone number that has another AI agent with speech recognition. None of them understand the problem. Here I am stuck with Rs 10k gone.
