Man to his kid -
"Padhoge nahi to karoge kya.
Paan ki dukaan pe baithoge?"
Same man to his grandkid -
"Don't operate with a scarcity mindset. Have a mindset of abundance.
Focus on what you enjoy.
There are many ways to be successful"
I am monitoring the change.

An unwritten rule of the tech world is that when Bill Gurley gives a talk, you drop everything and watch it.
And watch it again.
So do yourself a favour and watch this
This might be even better/more important than the "Regulatory Capture" talk he gave a couple of years ago.
If you haven't seen that one, watch it.
And you will almost see Bill predicting that the leading AI labs will beg for regulation, all in their own interest.
Something we are now see playing out.
Bill's style is unique.
He delivers deep, hard to grasp e
Strategic concepts, in a lucid, relatable manner.
And he explains it with conviction.
Without the hyperbole.
Without taking sides.
Just the quest for truth, in human behaviour, systems and how the world works.
I wish he wrote and spoke more
I am such a fanboy

A few good Indian men, and a Belgian dog.
What a fantastic story.
For decades, Kaziranga lost rhinos to men who knew the ground better than the rangers chasing them. Then someone changed the odds. In 2022, for the first time in 45 years, it went a full year without losing one. Read on.

Happiest thing you will see today 😊
What an incredible rescue of a newborn elephant calf swept away by the Teesta River! The courage, compassion and quick thinking of local fishermen, combined with the swift response of the Baikunthapur Forest Division, deserve immense appreciation. Together, they successfully reunited the little one with its anxious mother. Bravo 👏 #elephants #wildliferescue

This is wonderful ❤️
Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

A strange upside of having a big ego is that you don't feel sorry for yourself.
You become the kind of person who rejects self-pity.
Rejecting self pity is important.
Because once you start wallowing in self-pity,
Once you start enjoying the story of how badly you’ve been treated, how unfait life has been,
You’re as good as dead.
Self-pity is worst vice you can indulge in.
Worse than pride, ego and arrogance
Self-pity drains your agency, chokes your confidence and evaporates your talents.
Never indulge in self-pity.
Never feel sorry for yourself, even in your lowest moments

Wow!
One VC firm backing for 30% of Nasdaq companies is 🤯🤯
Even more so if these were all early bets (vs buying into companies post IPO)
In 2014, Sequoia-backed companies accounted for 20% of the Nasdaq.
Today, it's more than 30%.

This is a new low.
A matter of shame for the hospitals.
I am not even bothering to go into the administration and government bodies tasked with managing these matters.
That sounds like an unending broken record.
A list of these hospitals should be published and made available.
A hospital that can't figure how to get the right medicines can't be trusted

Such a beautiful example of taking life one moment at a time.
And a tennis game, one point at a time.
Do your best in every moment,
One moment at a time.
And you win the game without keeping score.

The best way to enjoy a long weekend for a Bangalorean is to be in Bangalore.
A salute to the bravehearts who venture out in these times
Looks like the entire city is heading out for the long weekend! Packed buses, packed trains, busy highways everyone seems to be leaving Bengaluru for the festival holidays.
For those staying back: 3 days of peaceful roads!

Congratulations Arindam on winning the ET 40 under 40 award while looking like 25
Obviously Arindam is probably the smartest new gen marketer we have.
But that is secondary
The thing to celebrate are those arms
💪🏋️

I wasn't aware of this
You have a view? @ahnis
What's the next country to blow up? Our Datacenter Model subscribers got the answer back in February: India. Scaling to just under 10GW by 2030, India enters the top 4 global datacenter markets! All the AI Labs and hyperscalers are itching for capacity. (1/3)🧵

Rohan is fanboying on his team.
Mark Pincus is fanboying on Rohan.
Harsha is fangirling on Mark Pincus
Everyone is happy
I am monitoring the fanning
First off, I am ecstatic to see this post by @markpinc .. I feel Mark is the God of all things Product and as a former @zynga PM who also wrote the first check in @PocketFM_App on behalf of @LightspeedIndia, this is an absolute surreal moment for me! :)
