When will the fear-mongering stop? Aadhaar was not intended to be proof of citizenship or date of birth. It was only intended to be a document that provides identity. "I am who I claim to be I am". That's it. @RSSharma indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

9 books to think more clearly than 99% of people: 1) The Enigma of Reason by Mercier & Sperber ( why you're biased by design )

RULES FOR SONS: 1. Never shake a man’s hand sitting down. 2. Don’t enter a pool by the stairs. 3. The man at the BBQ Grill is the closest thing to a king. 4. In a negotiation, never make the first offer. 5. Request the late check-out. 6. When entrusted with a secret, keep it. 7. Hold your heroes to a higher standard. 8. Return a borrowed car with a full tank of gas. 9. Play with passion or not at all… 10. When shaking hands, grip firmly and look them in the eye. 11. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be. 12. If you need music on the beach, you’re missing the point. 13. Carry two handkerchiefs. The one in your back pocket is for you. The one in your breast pocket is for her. 14. You marry the girl, you marry her family. 15. Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like crazy underneath. 16. Experience the serenity of traveling alone. 17. Never be afraid to ask out the best looking girl in the room. 18. Never turn down a breath mint. 19. A sport coat is worth 1000 words. 20.

Always protect your siblings (and teammates). 30. Be confident and humble at the same time. 31. Call and visit your parents often. They miss you. 32. The healthiest relationships are those where you’re a team; where you respect, protect, and stand up for each other.

@krayker @Flipkart "Enshittification". Yes, that's what it is. Was practically pleading for a refund. All automated tools here. The last ones worked because friends like you RTed and commented. But that's it. Never again from this platform.

Kind folks at @Flipkart, why make life so difficult for customers? Why break a kid’s heart? I ordered a specific pair of sneakers for my daughter’s birthday because she wanted that exact colour. Order ID OD437731953619933100, placed on June 3. It still hasn’t been delivered, but it seems you’re substituting a different colour. No easy option to cancel/refund or get what she actually wanted — and reaching real support is nearly impossible. This was meant to be her special birthday gift. Can you please process a full refund immediately. Why should anyone stay loyal when basic choices get overridden? @Flipkartsupport

What I find remarkable here is the absolute bureaucratic nonchalance with which @flipkartsupport connected on DM, said something vague about how @Flipboard has been "proactive", and the issue will be resolved. Topped it with a Feedback Form link. @_Kalyan_K I'm sure this won't pass muster with you.

#HTwknd | 🔍 What if the truth lies beyond the obvious? Charles Assisi invites us to zoom out, think deeper, and embrace abstraction—not just seeing what’s in front of us, but understanding what it truly means. 🧠✨ Sometimes, the bigger picture reveals what details can’t. 👉 Dive into the full story here: hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/art-… @c_assisi ✍🏻

We are trapped in the myth that more data equals better decisions. If we just prompt an LLM better or build a larger dashboard, clarity will follow. But biology tells a different story: Your brain runs on a mere 20 watts of power. It is an evolutionary masterpiece of absolute energy efficiency. By contrast, a machine like AlphaGo requires an astonishing 200,000 watts just to win a single game. To survive on that tiny 20-watt budget while navigating 35,000 daily decisions, the human brain filters out almost everything. It processes 11 million bits of data every second—but allows a microscopic 77 bits into conscious awareness. The remaining 99.99% is managed entirely below the surface using cognitive shortcuts. In my recent conversation for @FoundingF on the weekend with @biju_finalmile around his book Micro Stimuli, we dug into why the modern AI-driven information avalanche is fundamentally failing human decision-making. The secret to true persuasion isn't adding more text. It lies in what physicists call "exformation"—the immense body of shared context, culture, and meaning that we deliberately leave out of a conversation because it is already understood. When Mahatma Gandhi championed the charkha, he didn’t hand people an encyclopedic manual on economic self-reliance. He handed them a visual symbol that compressed pages of history and philosophy into a single, instant micro-stimulus. As modern smartphone interactions shrink to less than a single second, the future belongs not to those who can generate the most information, but to those who can masterfully compress it into meaning. foundingfuel.com/podcast/the-20…

@bhideatul @htTweets Thank you, Atul. You've always been kind to me. Means a lot.

"The mountain does not negotiate with your ambition." In this riveting travel piece, @TheSwamy writes about preparation, friendship, humility and discovering that ordinary people are capable of far more than they imagine. #AnnapurnaCircuit #Himalayas #WeekendReading

1/ India’s problem is not lack of ambition. It is that too many parts of the economy still pull in different directions. A new two-part essay series by Haresh Chawla @hchawlah for @FoundingF explores why India keeps missing the mountain. 🧵

@ShumaRaha Thank you, Shuma. I sincerely hope this stokes some conversations at homes on the theme. Death is always a difficult one to wrap the head around.

@bhideatul Thank you Atul.

This, is, perspective. Thank you for this, Pratim

There was a time when stardom was a fortress. In the 90s, Ruby Bhatia wasn't just a VJ; she was the electric pulse of a new, liberalised India, reportedly commanding Rs 1 lakh per show. Rahul Roy wasn't just an actor; he was the face of a generation’s collective heartbreak, the

@Prashanth_Krish @Paul_Koshy 😃 That, Prashant, is a conversation we must pick up the threads on

This has been debunked as a deepfake. But it gets recycled and posted again and again. Deeply unfortunate! I’m sure you meant well @Paul_Koshy. But this isn’t God. It’s AI. We all love inspiring stories—yet when AI fakes them, it erodes trust in real miracles and real news.

If you value truth over clicks, repost this. Tag a friend who shares miracle videos. What’s one way YOU check if a video is real? #Deepfake #AIFake #FactCheckIndia #MediaLiteracy

Fact-checkers (@boomlive_in, @TheQuint) confirmed it weeks ago: AI-generated video with unnatural physics and artifacts. No real child, no real cow, no real rescue. This is part of a wave of “animal hero” AI slop flooding our feeds. Spot the signs: too-perfect timing, short train, zero panic.
