For 25 years, Hyderabad’s Shanthamma and Shiva have risked their lives to save drowning strangers at Hussain Sagar Lake.
They’ve rescued 139 people, retrieved countless bodies, and even performed last rites for the unclaimed—without expecting anything in return. "A person isn’t great because of money, but because of their actions. No work is big or small, as long as humanity stays alive," says Shiva.

MS and the job search scene in the US are MESSED UP
Talked with my school senior in Missouri doing MS; her program's size jumped from 55 to 1100 with a surge in applications. Over 850 of them are Indians. Graduates from the past two semesters are still on the job hunt.

Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today.
Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.
We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Here is what we know:
- Last night, Sam got a text from Ilya asking to talk at noon Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet and the whole board, except Greg, was there. Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon.
- At 12:19pm, Greg got a text from Ilya asking for a quick call. At 12:23pm, Ilya sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he was being removed from the board (but was vital to the company and would retain his role) and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post.
- As far as we know, the management team was made aware of this shortly after, other than Mira who found out the night prior.
The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned. We will be fine. Greater things coming soon.

I don't get this hoopla around 70hr work week. What do people expect? A 9-5 work force country making a dent in the world? There will be workers and there will be warriors - the world needs both. The 70hr work week is simply a war cry to attract the warriors, most of whom are already doing this slog. And this is no shade on the workers. Many workers become warriors over time and some warriors tire out and want to become workers too. A relatively small number of warriors are all the world needs to move fwd and when you light beacons like this - #70hrworkweek #comehomeandbuild or whatever else - it helps attract the right set of people to find each other and go on a voyage.

Ajinomoto is one of my favourite diversification stories of all time. The same company that makes & invented monosodium glutamate (MSG) now has a 100% market share now in CPU insulation. 🤯 100+ year old company with a flat stock price for decades, 3x in 3 years.
