ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

@tunkuv btw til - your own original name - hugely more famous name.

Om.
I used to call him "O.P."
P for Prakash.
His name was Om Prakash Malik, and had he been an Indian of an older generation, that's what he'd have been called: "Om Prakash": which means 'the light or illumination emitted by Om' (the primordial sound of the Hindu universe).
The simple monosyllabic Om was, of course, easier to say (and go by) in America.
RIP, O.P.

@SatyapalMalik6 मलिक साहब हर तरह का जोर लगा रहे हैं कांग्रेस से राज्य सभा लेने के लिए। गिरने की हद है।

जिस तरह से राहुल गांधी जी मेहनत कर रहा है, प्रत्येक वर्ग के व्यक्ति से मिलकर सुनकी समस्याएं सुन रहा है वो चाहे किसान हो, मजदूर हो, छोटा व्यापारी हो, ऑटो रिक्शा चालक हो या सब्जी बेचने वाला हो। अगर विपक्ष के और कांग्रेस के सभी नेता भी उनसे सीख लेकर अपने अपने राज्य में इसी तरह से मेहनत करे ओर ग़रीब आदमी की आवाज को मजबूती से उठाएं तो वही मजबूती वाला पुराना दौर बहुत जल्दी वापिस आ जाएंगा इस समय मोदी सरकार से अगर कोई टक्कर ले रहा है वह है राहुल गांधी असली विपक्ष की भूमिका राहुल गांधी ही रहा है- सत्यपाल मलिक (पूर्व गवर्नर) #SatyapalMalik

@vishalmisra @niteshtiwari22 ah the joy of random Twitter.
Was h3 really seen as such an awesome hostel by h4 bkites :)
English

Chhichhore was actually a 98% true story of what happened at IIT Bombay in 1990. It was our story - the 2% inaccuracy was that we (H4) actually beat the losers from H3 in the very last event (a cycle race) to take the GC. @niteshtiwari22 took cinematic liberties with the ending.

Chhichhore showed real life in a boys hostel. Almost every hostel has similar stories. 3 idiots was probably the worst display of hostel life. Nothing of that sort happens in a hostel.

@Austen @ShedCapitalLLC @sabrmattrics Sorry, I meant the order has some language about letting students cancel loans etc.
Does this all carry a financial impact to your firm or it’s just fluffy language to declare victory ?
English

@ShedCapitalLLC @sabrmattrics This was in response to a question.
Someone asked what % was hired and I said “100% of the first cohort but SMALL SAMPLE SIZE” with small sample size in all caps.

Entrepreneurship culture in America is all messed up and it’s a shame.
TechCrunch. Product Hunt. Shark Tank.
It’s all about new ideas. Changing the world. Innovation. 0 to 1. Blue ocean. Venture capital and exits and scalability.
And IT’S ALL A LIE.
If you ask the average American who a real entrepreneur is they’ll say Jobs, Musk or Zuck. We read their books and idolize them and hang on to their every word.
So the brightest among us think they need a moat. A new idea. Something revolutionary. We're setting them up for FAILURE.
I took an entrepreneurship course at Cornell in 2011. 24 kids with new ideas. Big plans. Pitch decks looking for series As.
I was #25 with a regular old-fashioned business. When professors asked me what my differentiator was I didn’t have an answer.
"We're just going to pick up people's stuff and store it when they go home for the summer. I'll answer the phone, do things a little better and I think I can make some decent money."
I saw a company out there doing sweaty, non-scalable work. They weren't very good at it and yet they made really good money.
I started by trading my time for money. Bought a $1500 cargo van. Storage Squad was born. Used the things I had in my life to make some profit.
I wasn’t trying to educate a customer base.
I wasn’t following my passion.
I didn’t need funding or a network.
I wasn’t competing against brilliant folks from Stanford.
I want trying to prove a concept.
I wasn’t emotionally attached to anything except adding value.
My customers and my competitors existed. I could study them interacting with each other. I made decisions with my brain, not my heart. I was competing against folks with fax machines, clipboards and paper ledgers.
And the best part... WE WERE PROFITABLE FROM DAY ONE.
Not a single one of those 24 folks in my class succeeded. They all went and got jobs. Their new ideas didn’t catch on. They all had dreams of millions of users and an exit. Scalable models that could work anywhere from a computer. But 99% failed to make a single dollar.
We made enough money in a few years to build our first self storage facility. That grew into the 60+ property $100m+ portfolio we own and operate today. We sold the service business in January 2021 for $1.75 million. We had no debt and no silent partners. My business partner and I split the cash.
So who are the real entrepreneurs? Who are the wealthiest people you know? I’m not talking about money. I’m talking about the people who do what they want to do when they want to do it. Who are they?
Now here comes the hard truth. I know a lot of wealthy entrepreneurs. None of them had new ideas. Very few of them raised VC money. None of them were on shark tank. They all did common things uncommonly well. Regular old businesses just a little better.
BORING STUFF.
Most of them have a few things in common: They worked really hard doing something not fun for 5+ years. Many times 20+ yrs. They started out trading their time for money. They did things that weren’t scalable. Many of them offered services.
They all had to talk to people. Most of the time face to face. They had to sell themselves and their ideas. They didn’t take a lot of risk. Most of them hired coders but few of them were coders.
The main point:
Stop buying into the hype. The click bait. The sexy stories of overnight success and mega riches. Entrepreneurship isn’t that complicated. Do something with good odds, low risk and moderate rewards. Don’t master your craft, master leading other people.
Think with your head, not your heart. It’s not about you and what YOU love or what YOU want to be doing. And lastly.. Start SMALL.
Biz is about momentum. I started 10 yrs ago carrying boxes up spiral staircases. Now I’m buying millions worth of real estate.
And the best part. When you’re successful, experienced, wealthy and you have a killer network...
It’s time to change the world with something BIG.

@Syzler2 @keyladelslay @memeticsisyphus @MarkEwellCO Very well said. A rabid dog is an apt comparison.
Q - if you now have a cure for rabies then would you still put it down or try curing it. Maybe Dog is afflicted and potentially unhappy with its state ?
Earlier we had only one option. Maybe Science has progressed ?

@keyladelslay @memeticsisyphus @MarkEwellCO Some quacks may mean ducks too.
Is it remotely possible that somebody who killed so heinously may have a mental condition.
Would you want society to take somebody off without being 💯. That’s life too.

@memeticsisyphus @MarkEwellCO Never knew this...
makes a whole lot more sense now
