My absolute favourite spectacle in sport, the Team Time Trial (TTT) today at the #Dauphiné
Can't wait to see this and the big one at the Tour. I have visited that area in Barcelona, it is going to be absolutely fantastic to see how Pogi and Jonas do

We have just normalised incorrect grammar. Shows the lack of attention to detail. This is in some smartq app that we have to use for our cafeteria

For Indians who were active it was mainly rediff. I remember using it as a way to check if my connection was active

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010.
What’s the one website/app you still think about?

I spent 20 minutes today, 3 of us searching for an auto on 3 apps. I really miss the times when we had the Bounce scooter service was such a boon. Sadly we don’t deserve anything good

Looks like yesterday was peak #bengaluru traffic especially on #orr. I had to go to Yeswantpur station which was showing over 2 hours travel. I did the most sane thing, took an auto to yellow line and guided the driver such that we had almost no traffic. Then the metro from Kudlu to Yeswantpur. In total it took me 1.5 hours. But it was very comfortable, I got a seat all the way and most importantly it was predictable

We felt we got a lottery with rcb srh tickets but this is the view from our seats. In stadium experience for Indian fans sucks so bad #ipl20206

My employer with a few lakh employees has migrated from office to Google for email and other work related software. I’m sure the decision was taken with a lot of consideration but oh boy decades of working on outlook has wired my brain in a manner that I find it impossible to use Gmail.

Of course Gmail is my primary email but I don’t really care about reading every single personal email and just rely on search to get to what I want. I look at work email multiple times an hour

Finally secured tickets to a RCB game, SRH vs RCB the final game of the league stage. It was a group effort, logging in on multiple machines, I probably clicked 2 seconds later and I was in position 129000. My son got lucky with a lower number though by the time his turn came, the lower tickets were sold out. We got 3500 tickets finally

I fully agree with the sentiment that Wout winning ParisRoubaix is going to unleash the Wout of 2022 again at the Tour. Can't wait

The one thing that gives me hope for the Tour is that if Pogi couldn't drop Lipowitz comprehensively in Romandie, no way Jonas is getting dropped. Hoping for an epic battle between the two #letour26

Jonas has the luxury of having two of the best human beings riding in his support, Wout and Sepp
Sepp Kuss before the Giro d’Italia:
“Jonas is a wonderful person. Last year, after the Vuelta a España, we were given a holiday as a gift from him. I went to Greece with my family. It’s a memory I’ll carry with me for life and whenever I think back on that trip, I’ll always think of Jonas.”
“The memory with Jonas that means the most to me is the first Tour de France he won. The feeling of winning the Tour… it’s hard to describe. It almost feels unreal that it happened.”
“I still genuinely enjoy “sacrificing” myself for a leader like Jonas. It’s never even a question when I see how strong he is. I wouldn’t really call it a sacrifice. If anything, I feel lucky to be able to help such an exceptional rider chase success. Winning the Vuelta in 2023 didn’t change that for me.”
“Sometimes I’m amazed at how well he handles pressure. Top riders experience it in their own way, but at the same time they have such deep confidence in their abilities. That gives them a huge mental edge, and it also helps them deal with setbacks much more easily.”

Truly one of the most inspirational men I have known of, I used to follow Indycar closely in the 90s and loved the way he raced and his ever smiling personality. What he did later in life after a life threatening injury is just unbelievable. RIP Alex Zanardi.

Censor people came with a piece of paper with one name struck out and replaced by another. No ID card. Collected 6 pieces of information very basic and left. I wonder what confidence we should have in the results? #census2026

Why I love cycling in Hyderabad over Bangalore
- Roads are wider and traffic is not as crazy
- They have stretches like ORR service roads with no traffic
- Road surface is so much better than what I have near my house
- I have 6 good climbs all within a 5-10 km radius of my house, I can either do a loop with 5-6 climbs or do multiple hill repeats
Here are some of the climbs I did on yesterday's ride
BNR hill - 1 km at 5% with grades of 7-8%
Whisper valley from Jubilee - 0.6km at 6% with peak of 12-13%
Whisper valley front side - 0.7 km at 7.5% with 13-14%
Khajaguda towards Lanco Hills loop 5km at 3-4% but grades of 9-10%
Microsoft hill 1.5km @ 5 %
Nepalis Movie Hill 0.7 @ 5.5% with grade of 12-13%

The sub 2 marathon means that sabastian ran at 21 kmph. That’s not far from the speed that I cycle at (22-24). Mind blown🤯

My two favourite cyclists are Wout and Primoz because of their never say die attitude how they pick themselves up after one disappointment after another and come back stronger. Justice has been done in the universe for 2022 #parisroubaix #pr26

In Bangalore I visited a Darshini and didn’t really notice anything missing, every menu item seemed to be available and the place was crowded as usual. However, in Hyderabad, it’s a different story. Our office cafeteria only has prepared food, mainly variety rice and the quantity was very limited. A restaurant that I frequent for dinner has only fast food like noddles and rice, they used to have 6-7 different veg curries on a daily basis and it’s all stopped. All because of gas impact.
