After 2 cancelled flights, a 2.5 hr delay in Mumbai, and enough waiting to unlock inner peace, I’m convinced of one thing: @IndiGo6E got the IRCTC energy 🙊 While I’m still travelling on hope and airport oxygen, here’s some Indigo survival wisdom for this week

1. If your flight keeps getting delayed/cancelled, build your own Plan B routes. Indigo suggested a 23.5-hour layover in HYD, technically not a full day yet😕

Why there should be enough opportunities for people to attend hackathon and community events to learn from folks who code everyday.
This happens all the time. Universities very literally are not training you for a job as a software engineer. They are training you in the academic field of the science of computing.

Sometimes worth thinking for anyone wants to join technology just for money.
In 2008, “1 crore*” package for a fresher in banking was the hot stuff. But it was an anomaly at the peak of a real estate bubble. And yet, many including me thought this was here to stay and planned our future lives around it. And when it all came down it was a rude awakening difficult to cope with. Honestly I thought my Ed loan will be done in 6 months. Took me 5 years. That was the magnitude of expectations vs reality I see the same now. Many people are basing their houses, cars, loans, EMIs etc assuming the salaries now are here to stay. Please do give a thought to “What if this is the peak of a zero interest rate policy and central bank printing bubble? Will these numbers stay?”

This is really fascinating, we are on the right path still long way to go for Kerala to become the land to produce state of art tech, everyones efforts including @TinkerHub is going to create talents and tech in emerging and future technologies 🤞
Only a small fraction, 2.4%, of people between the ages of 15 and 29 are capable of writing code. 👩🏻‍💻 Today, about ~70% of potential talent pool in this age group is from 6 states.

We are at the final steps of setting up TinkerSpace - Collaborative learning space at Kochi. We want to create a wifi access control system like a Captive portals. We are looking for open source / least expensive alternatives with APIs to generate user credentials from our apps.

There are 15K members at TinkerHub, we wish to know which all mentors / learners are available at the space presently for better sharing of knowledge and offline mentoring. We could identify members with phone numbers, and could locate in the community platforms like discord.

Even though it won’t be good for the state, i personally think waisting your freedom by waiting for a cultural change might not be a wise idea right now.

Serious brain drain is happening from Kerala because of the cultural issues that girls face. There is a major outflow to EU & Canada to have a life with peace of mind.

Happy to meet @bgiyer Regional Director of @ICAAPAC. Looking forward to bring more youth to democratic collective business through #kdisc interventions in the state. @TinkerHub would be happy to continue our association with all partners to bring the change 🤞

So i wonder if some of us are creating a new religion it might reward us with more monthly active users ( MRR ), an easy investment or an early exist for following all the rules of the religion.

What was your favourite social studies chapter? Mine was the one mallu analyst @Vivek_Vrinda shares and never taught in the school syllabus.

Prioritise your peace & personal times. Something I was discussing with all the people I work with. You needed to be alive & healthy to continue making an impact. Take that break, sleep well, nobody has died cause I didn't picked up phone for a day in the past 8 work years.

Making some money before college ends will make a huge difference in your life, as your patents tend to believe more of your life choices not just that you are able to get a job but you can take care of yourself well. #PaidInternships

I was making up to rs 35,000 a month while I was in college by sales of my apps in blackberry store. I only needed 3k - 4000 those days to pay hostel fees and food. Whole perspective of life changed after I started making my own pocket money.

I wanted to be rich and famous like all Indians untill @rihanna ruins it for everyone. Now all rich & famous need to share their social media passwords with #ITCell little sacrifices you make to be celebraty and not in jail for narcotics.

@airtelindia is there any ways that I can talk to a human regarding my broadband billing cycle, the #airtelthanks app and all numbers on the internet can't help as all leads to pretty basics things like just balance checking
