Never wear headphones when you're somewhere you need to be on your guard.
Your life could literally depend on it.

The Indian startup ecosystem is on steroids.
And what excites me most is that this isn’t just about software. It’s about deeptech. Manufacturing technology. Hardcore hardware. Cutting-edge chemical processes.
A new generation of Indian entrepreneurs is building the capabilities that could allow us to leapfrog entire stages of technological development.
These videos, courtesy @ashleevance & @RuntimeBRT, offer just a glimpse of what’s being cooked up in labs, workshops & factories across India.
And right on cue, Rajan Anandan, former head of Google India, & Saurabh Srivastava, one of India’s pioneering entrepreneurs & institution builders, have released a book calling India a ‘Lift-Off Nation.’
An apt description.
Because I believe the world is about to witness a tidal wave of technological innovation emerging from India.
And it’s being powered by young entrepreneurs who are daring to build things we once assumed could only be built elsewhere.
My salute to them.

I feel that I might be overthinking about it
I've seen so many people have two accounts one for casual interactions with their identity visible but at least one more for all clandestine things
somehow I never felt the identity is not important at all in the digital world
Being cared for - who you are, how you think, your values, beliefs, interests, quirks, and everything that relates to your sheer existence - is the ultimate flex.
Drop everything that you are worrying about and only prioritise the goodness you deserve for just being.
normally I don't click many pics while running and even if I rarely do (like this one) I don't share anywhere other than they remaining in my gallery but somehow bcos of all this haze, delayed running goals, not getting the draw for the marathon I targeted & more clutter in my mind, this pic from the gallery started shouted at me the most difficult question I always avoid - how will I function w/o running? 😬

I make sure all my meetings do not have tight agendas. Tight agendas assume you know where you're going, which for a certain kind of meeting is right —like a weekly business review. But most meetings should be used for mild brainstorming.

Robots are transforming construction, one brick at a time!
Some robotic bricklaying systems reportedly lay over 1,000 bricks per hour, compared with roughly 300–500 bricks a day for a skilled human bricklayer.
The potential? Faster construction, improved consistency and reduced physical strain on workers.
Could robotic construction help address labour shortages and accelerate housing projects?

meanwhile a huge cross functional research team with massive funds and years of laborious work writing such detailed technical articles come to the same conclusion 🫠

Some things are just meant to be. You feel like you are in control or doing it all yourself. But no, what ought to happen will happen. Yeah you can ignore as much as you can but that is how it all works. A total acceptance with sincere surrendering is the only way out.
I still feel how messy & interesting we all at the core of us that to compare our hearts & thoughts with profile aesthetics and sleek timelines is an extraordinary insult;
what we have is abundance of our digital footprints, what we miss is ppl who are keen to understand us
digi—tail humans: the real test if you are tending towards human or a nicely defined algo is to clarify for yourself if you experience feelings that are interspersed and difficult to explain; interestingly only a fellow human can understand a human w/o documentation unlike algo
this whole upcoming phase of daily reading, researching, reflecting and writing is going to be super thrilling and challenging at the same time
Substack has a unique way of recommending random stuff, this one is a bit of a weird read on the triumphs and troubles of east knowledge applied in the west (alert: it is about a Zen boyfriend' his skills and relationship issues)
