If you were to setup an art gallery in Tamilnadu, what’ll be the exhibit closest to the entrance? . . . . . . Van Gogh.

Sipping on my evening chai, I watch the sun light filter through the white tapestry that flutters by. A sense of calmness consumes me as I breathe into the floral scent lingering in the air. It was the whites load on laundry today.

Observation: Most UX design courses don’t teach design thinking, they sell frameworks instead.

I read this brilliant poem again today. I've fallen many times but walking is so much better. 😉 💜 Portia Nelson

Just heard about Ivory Black Coffee - the most expensive in the world. Yup, it is another one of those poop nuggets. Personally, I‘d rather take the Mysore nuggets that came straight from the plant to the roastery without the gastrointestinal detour 😅

Had a micro-panic when I searched “twitter” on my app search and didn’t find it.

Trending analogy in #globalrff today is how trust is like a coconut 🌴 Takes years to grow it but the coconut can fall quickly. 🙈 #TrustandCoconuts

I need the decision making skills of a Hollywood music supervisor who sources the soundtracks out of a gazillions of songs and licenses it. Look at that conviction! I can’t pick which song I’d play first on my “getting ready for the long weekend” playlist.

Replying to @IIFL_Finance
@IIFL_Finance, one of India's largest NBFCs has one mission—keep loans simple. Check out how @IIFL_Finance onboarded itself on all UPI apps through @Setu_API's BBPS and the incredible impact it had. Seedhi Baat.

Historically insurance as a product offering has been a push product, hard to sell. Even in the innovation space, there’s little discussion about the advancements in insurance - making it an unattainable target for digitally non-native and low-income households.

Taking a bus home from the metro station a rant thread.

It feels as if the bus is a snow globe ❄️. But instead of snow, it is flakes of peanut skin and instead of a monument, it is the sweaty and sleepy humans. The tired contours of thier faces highlighted by the lights from their phones.

And as we sway along the bumpy bangalore roads, the bus comes to a screeching halt at her stop. She gets up, a waterfall of chilkas fall from between the pleats of her saree trailing as she leaves the bus. The chilkas still have a long way ahead.

We celebrate stories like UPI, IT sector or even big companies. But we miss: are things becoming better for the average Indian? I tried to compare the past few National Family Health Surveys to see if things have genuinely improved and was not disappointed.

The fact that I can go to my manager for something as little as “idk how to respond to this message” without thinking twice is such a healthy good thing
