After 14years in Germany, I’m back in my beloved Bangalore with bigger dreams than I initially left with 🤩
If you’re building something in automotive or anything tech really, I have a decade of R&D experience & expertise at Mercedes, let’s talk! DMs open.

Basically, communism for thee, none for me...
Being born into affluence, possessing a luxury automobile, or belonging to a political dynasty does not inherently invalidate one’s commitment to communism. #Communism is an ideological conviction, not a certificate of poverty.
I often tell my students that, philosophically speaking, a baby’s first cry may be interpreted as the most rudimentary assertion of a fundamental right, the instinctive demand for nourishment, care, and survival. Although an infant is incapable of comprehending political ideology, that primordial cry symbolises an innate human need and the instinct to secure what is essential for existence.
Therefore, before branding @neha_aisa Neha Bora a fraud merely because she or her family may possess an expensive car, we must learn to distinguish ideological commitment from personal affluence. Scrutinise her arguments, interrogate her actions, and expose any demonstrable contradictions in her principles. But condemning someone’s political convictions solely on the basis of their family’s wealth is intellectual superficiality, not a substantive critique of ideology.
We did everything other than no.1 on the list with both our tinies and it worked very well for us. 1 of the best pieces of advice early on in parenthood was to include the babies into our way of life as early as possible so we travelled early on with them & they enjoy it too.
Lazymaxxing your life with babies, 0y to 3y
1. Don't buy a baby crib. Put as big a mattress as you have space for on the floor and cosleep. Preferably put it in another room than the master bedroom - sometimes baby will have hard nights but you don't want two adult zombies in the house
2. Go everywhere you want. Buy a sling or baby sack, put baby there and go for coffee. Visit a friend with an older baby and ask to try all the baby wearing devices they have, you'll find a perfect one. Have to admit it is much easier to do in a friendly climate
3. Breastfeed if you can. It will allow you not to think about baby food for months and go out easier
4. Yes you can take baby to that museum or rock concert
5. When the baby is older slowly introduce the same food as you are eating at home
6. You don't need baby courses to develop baby brains. Talk to them. Let them cook with you or help with the laundry
7. Teach kids that there are boring times of the day. I think boredom is just the best gift you can present them, we all need space for creativity.
8. Read to your kids.
9. Yes it is ok to use diapers for a longer time but then spend just one day on potty training.
10. Teach them to cook their own food. They will be so proud!
11. Kids won't eat unhealthy food if you only have healthy food at home

Regular reminder that I was the one who exposed the toolkit and Navika from Times now shamelessly stole my tweets and showed it on national TV without giving me any credits.
😑😞
Preeti: “Anyone can hire an influencer. If a rich man from Punjab sitting in Canada hires Mia Khalifa & Rihanna, that is NOT foreign FUNDING.” 🤯
Akshita: “That is an INSULT to the FARMERS then.” 🎯
Gaurav Sawant: “Greta Thunberg literally tweeted out the ENTIRE TOOLKIT. 💥
=> Akshita Nandagopal & Gaurav Sawant ripped the logic to shreds. Meanwhile, Pooja Shali sitting there enjoying every second of it. 🔥

So as expected, Ramayana has become Marvel. Just a “story” with “superheroes”.
It’s either this or Adipurush. I choose Yugo Sako’s anime version.

It was amusing to read some posts earlier trying to rationalize Mā Sītā fighting as if the makers were intellectual enough to decide and reverent enough to care.
This, dēviyõ aur sajjanõ, is the level at which the movie team is, somewhere between juvenility and irreverence.

They keep 'urging'.
Those of us who did return, didn't need any incentives or pep talks. I can say that with some authority.
The others who he wants back need the incentives described here. Set it up and you won't need to guilt trip or 'urge'.

Theres no evidence that this govt sees India as anything but a huge reservoir of labor for the west.
🚨 BIG! Union Minister Piyush Goyal RECALLS the HISTORIC contribution of 6,000 nurses from Kerala who went to West Germany in the 1960s to address its nursing shortage.
– “They provided outstanding patient care, supported families in Germany, and built their lives in a new country.”
– “In the process, they built TRUST between Germany and India.”
– “Their contribution can NEVER be FORGOTTEN, can never be undermined.”
– “Last year, we celebrated 25 years of our Strategic Partnership. This year, we are celebrating 75 years of diplomatic relations with Germany.”

Today, the calendar makes a right triangle, for the last time this century.
This Saturday is October 24, 2026.
Write it as 10/24/26 or 24/10/26, and the same beautiful relationship appears:
10² + 24² = 26²
100 + 576 = 676
But here’s what makes today special.
There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples. Only a handful fit our calendar.
Using the rule
month² + day² = (last two digits of the year)²,
the month cannot exceed 12, and the day cannot exceed 31. Those small limits leave exactly 12 qualifying dates in this century.
Today is the last.
The next will be March 4, 2105:
3² + 4² = 5²
That is a wait of more than 78 years.
An infinite family of triangles. Just twelve appearances on a century’s calendar.
Happy Pythagorean Triple Day.

Very handsome Patek 3417 available at Hairspring. This 1950s steel model was originally developed for X-ray technicians, atomic physicists, and engineers (nerds), so it has iron cover to resist magnetic fields. Technically a tool watch! The sister 3418 model is more affordable.

Literally the fruits of hardwork ft. Krop AI Strawberries. ♥️
A @Rainmatterin startup based out of Brahmavara, Udupi. 🇮🇳
They build low cost container farms designed to grow over 35+ varieties of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers.
Everyone keeps saying building hardware is tough, but sometimes it takes being involved in the process to understand what tough really means.
Since the last update on Krop AI last year, the team has made tons of progress, but not without times when they almost wondered why they were doing what they were doing. I asked them if they had to articulate what really were the issues, now would they, and they sent me some notes. Here they are, if they help others in the ecosystem.
- There is no hardtech ecosystem in India. Building hardware in India means building the supply chain alongside the product. We couldn't find an Indian vendor for the HVAC components we needed. We had to import high-end sensors. Mechanical assemblies, the kind that a US or China-based startup would order off a catalogue, we had to design in-house from scratch. Every problem took 3x longer to solve than it should have, simply because the ecosystem doesn't exist yet.
- Sensors went silent. Our PCBs failed. We lost sensor communications across the farm and didn't know what was happening inside our own container. Downtime hit 30%. Plants suffered. The fix wasn't better sensors; it was better hardware design underneath them. We've since rebuilt our PCBs from the ground up.
- Lighting was one of our largest capex line items, and the unit economics didn't work at that price. So we started designing our own lighting in-house. Capex came down 25%. The monthly energy bill came down 30%. Plants don't need constant light; they need the right light at the right time. That single rebuild opened up the entire business model.
- LEDs throw heat, plants transpire moisture, and a 40ft container needs a perfect climate 24/7. Our first HVAC build cost INR 24L. We had failures, rebuilt the thermal architecture from scratch, and brought capex down to INR 5L.
- We picked the wrong pumps. They failed, and the farm flooded. Inside a sealed container with sensitive electronics and live plants, that's about as bad as it gets. Industrial reliability was tough to figure out. But we have re-specified every pump in the system.
All of us @Rainmatterin are super proud of the team. Not because they had revenue numbers to show, or had a large valuation bump, but just because of how they dealt with each of the hurdle. They are focused on figuring answers to problems. They are doing it thoughtfully. That's what it takes to build stuff.
Good things await. ❤️

Ujwal nikam authorized this. He is a BJP RS MP. Questions need to be asked of the party as well.
Just watched Prahaar, and after watching it, I realised Bollywood has shown only half the truth.
- The film portrays Kasab as someone who regretted his actions, but in reality, he showed no such remorse.
- The film doesn't show how Kasab wore a kalawa (sacred Hindu thread) and came disguised as Sameer Choudhary.
The film portrays Kasab as helpless, vulnerable, and guilt ridden, which is the complete opposite of how he actually was.
If Bollywood cannot show the complete truth, it shouldn't make movies based on real-life events.

62 cr. Land bank. A 4 cr car. And much much more.
And you still want money from the government to not pollute the environment?
This is Batshit crazy bro.
I’ve received 40–50 messages and hundreds of comments asking, “How can you own 100 acres? Why doesn’t the Land Ceiling Act apply to you?” Some have even claimed they’ll file a case against me.
Let me tell you this: even if I own 100 acres, at today’s prices it’s worth roughly ₹62 crore. That’s still less than the price of a single apartment in The Camellias. Yet people have a problem with a farmer owning farmland.
The real question is, can those questioning me disclose how they purchased such expensive apartments? In fact, they could easily sell one Camellias flat, buy 150 acres of agricultural land, and start farming themselves.
And for those genuinely interested, if you want complete details of my land ownership to file a case, feel free to DM me. I’ll happily provide the information! 😀🙏🏻

I need everyone to understand that I am not exaggerating even a little bit when I say that this is how a certain type of serial killer thinks. This man is going to end up killing someone, and it’s probably going to be a girl who was just trying to be nice to him.
