I see Garden City Walks as a kind of "anti-hustle" movement. A pocket of time where we walk slowly, we do *not* complete 10K steps.
Instead, we stop, look up, look close.
On this week's MG Road walk, we will relive the founding of the Garden City...

The real value in technology comes from going deep into a vertical and working side by side with the people you serve. 8x8 CEO Sam Wilson talks it through with Charlie Mitchell at @CXFoundation. Full episode here: bit.ly/4iqW4FL

Life is cheap in India. We are all alive at the whims and fancies of government employees who cut corners while approving plans, conduct inspections and grease their palms.
#Blast on #Bengaluru footpath !
A transformer box on the footpath outside the Amazon office on Baglur Main Road exploded, injuring two persons walking on the pavement.
One fell and suffered severe burns to his hands; the other had minor injuries. Another girl student escaped unhurt.
(📹 was captured by Arun G, a parent on the way to drop his kids to school)
How are these transformers allowed on busy footpaths? What if child or a pregnant woman or person with disability was walking? Who is responsible?

Hi all, happy to share that the Bangalore Thindi places' list has reached 500 :) few of them have shut down/replaced with something else, but still, 450 odd places is solid. Coverage is decent (Yeshwanthpur to Banashankari, Whitefield to Kengeri).
Enjoy!

Every event, business, brand is generating posters using ChatGPT and they all look so alike. Even restaurants on Swiggy/Zomato have AI images of their dishes on the menu. I’d prefer plain text to these ugly, soulless posters and pics.

A famous physics teacher @hcvbharat has raised a serious concern after the recent IITB suicide case.Dummy schools,coaching culture,exam pressure and unethical practices are becoming normalised.
His message is clear: Success should never come at the cost of ethics, health and life. We need to rethink what we teach our children to value.
Such a lovely rainy Sunday morning, with wonderful food discoveries along the way. What more could one ask for?

We started at the legendary Srinivasa hotel. A place that started as a shed with no name board. Nearly 30 yrs old. Probably introduced pudina masalE to Bangalore.
Now they are giving tokens and all to manage crowd & they even have a sidu sidu security uncle to control the crowd😂

Excellent Thindi Hopping with the gang yesterday. 41 of us roamed the gullies of Basavanagudi and Jayanagar and sampled some good variety of dosEs and other things. We also celebrated @Vikrchan 's birthday :D @deepakvijayke

We keep asking why our brightest minds leave India.
Mumbai Police has booked Suryanarayan Dulla, an IIT Bombay faculty member, under multiple sections of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, along with a charge of abetment of suicide.

Instagram has become a cesspool of doctors (of all pathies and specialities) literally posting their in clinic conversations with patients as content with the patient's face clearly visible.
The biggest culprits are obstetricians (and their teams) who have theaterised and dramatised the most personal moment a family can have, when the newborn is shown and handed over to the family members waiting outside the delivery room or OT.
Unless the NMC or state medical authorities crack down on this, this will only worsen with time.
Doctors creating medical content for the medical fraternity or general population should be encouraged but that cannot be done at the cost of compromising patient privacy.
The sort of content created by the non-medical fraternity is even worse but that is for another time.
Visited the #karigarbazaar exhibition at #jayamahalpalace exhibition Grounds today and what a badly planned and managed event!!
When we arrived parking was unavailable with absolutely no alternative arrangements or clear guidance. We had to make our own provision elsewhere. 1/n
And the IKEA-style layout, where you're forced to walk through the entire exhibition in one direction, only works when there is enough space for people to move freely. Here, it just created a congested queue. I found it claustrophobic. 3/n
