    Disha’s arrest is a punch in my gut. When I was 21, I was running Strange Brew, a print magazine with the tag line ‘the revolution’ and we’d take a piss on everyone, talk freedom and glamourise Che Guevara. I cannot articulate what I’m feeling right now.

    1/ Seeing a lot of hate towards @eatnaru and arbitrary ratings x/10 pulled out of their hats with no credible analysis or justification. Here’s why they may be missing the noodles for the proverbial broth. FYI, I’m deep bangalorean, I’ve eaten 1000+ bowls of ramen in my life, and

    Sad at so many levels. In an unnecessary attempt to ‘humanise’ the PM, this startup CEO has become an apologist, while the country is burning.
    PM nailed 1st lockdown timing. Saved countless lives. Failed to act this time. It's costing countless lives. Same person. Got 1 right. 1 wrong. Guess what? It's ok. He's not god. He's not the devil. He's human! As flawed as all of us. So don't idolize him blindly. Humanize him!

    Disagree. Be a good human, try not to view friends transactionally. Also, seek diversity. More/less successful is not important, perspective is important.
    You constantly want to be upgrading your peer group. You want to hang out with smarter, more successful, more interesting, higher-character people because you will rise or fall to the level of your peer group. #officehours #ProfGPod 4/26
