Podtaxi is a good symbol of how Indian Infrastructure is done in most cases. 1) Expensive 2) Start barricading a prime busy road without selecting a Contractor yet 3) Land acquisition not complete 4) Commence work just before Monsoons Enjoy the misery BKC.

BKC Pod project. The barricades is for soil testing activities I believe,i dont think they have selected contractor yet. Its an ambitious project with major land acquisition challenges on kurla end

The stupid notice by Maharashtra cyber cell to Google and apple app stores to delist Ola and Uber has been withdrawn, as per news reports... Why was it issues at all, remains the question... @Dev_Fadnavis , your hard work on getting investments and ease of living is being undone by egoist ministers and politicians under you.

The most fundamental reform India needs is to stop calling a train running at 50 kmph an “express” train.

Nobody needs to pretend the elephant in the room is invisible. Bike taxis are banned precisely because they are affordable, because of how well they solve the problem, and because the political cost of vanishing lakhs of jobs overnight is negligible.

The government's first instinct when it cannot license, tax, or capture a sector as a vote bank is to ban it. Rapido and bike taxis solve two genuinely hard Indian problems at once: abysmal last-mile connectivity that sarkari babus never fixed, and the shortage of flexible income for someone who owns a bike and needs to top up his monthly income. That is a rare double win. Naturally, this makes it more threatening to the gormint, not less. "How dare this 20 year old boy with a bike from a tier 3 town make 25K in extra income from a part time gig! This sounds like anti-national activity funded by George Soros!"

Such a idiotic decision by @Dev_Fadnavis Government.. Shame on @PratapSarnaik . First work on improving state transport system and instead of doing such stupid decisions.
The Indian Express@IndianExpress

Maharashtra State Cyber department issued notices to Apple and Google seeking the removal of ride-hailing applications Uber, Ola and Rapido from app stores over alleged illegal bike taxi operations in Maharashtra, escalating the state government’s crackdown on aggregator-based two-wheeler taxi services. The notices, issued on May 15 by the Office of the Additional Director General of Police, Maharashtra Cyber, invoke Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and direct the companies to “remove and disable access” to the applications from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The action follows a letter sent by Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik to the Cyber Department on May 12 seeking intervention against bike taxi platforms operating in the state.

Was doing some reading on the whole IPS system and it was designed to keep expressly Englishmen and Anglicized Englishmen at the top of the "natives" The system was architected in a way that natives, who started at the lowest levels of policing, could never reach leadership positions. Their leaders were always parachuted Englishmen who had no requirement to know or understand how things. They were just there to "Command" Contrast this to the system that the British use in Britain, where every police person joins as a constable and then has to work their way up the system So every commissioner in the UK has at some point done the beats and the hard yards. Every leader has faced the worst in the field and has risen thru the ranks But In India, we have a system where an inspector with 30 years of solid field experience, is commanded by a 25 year old History graduate who may not have crossed the border of their district Seems patently unfair and actually illogical

There’s something about Maharashtra that, despite being the biggest economy in India and a high per capita GDP, we have the worst NHAI roads in the country. To the one of asking whether we even belong to India.

Did a 3200 km road trip in 10 days. The moment you enter Rajasthan, the roads just hit different. Easily some of the best highways in India. Love it man.

If ancient Indian logicians were alive today, they would view our 70 billion parameter models as bloated legacy code & would be leading the charge in extreme model pruning. 1000s yrs ago, the linguist Panini faced a huge infra constraint: the human memory. To preserve the entirety of Sanskrit grammar w/o losing a single bit of data, he wrote the Ashtadhyayi. It is a framework of < 4000 algorithmic rules (sutras) that functions exactly like a modern compiler. It is so highly optimized that the entire source code of the language can be stored in a few KBs of memory. Panini invented an algebraic notation system using auxiliary markers (Anubandhas) that act exactly like pointers & metadata tags in programming. He achieved infinite linguistic generation with near-zero compute cost.

AI inference cost (which we pay in dollars) may rival our oil import bill and blow up our current account deficit. Great post on that below. What is the solution? I believe that high developer productivity can be achieved without the high AI inference bill. We have to invent our way out of trouble. Stay tuned.

Delhi narcotics inspector Subhash Yadav & his team allegedly raided a house in Uttam Nagar then planted ‘Ganja’ inside it. After threatening the owner with jail, they allegedly demanded ₹25 lakh to “close the case”. Deal settled at ₹15 lakh. But the owner showed some courage went to CBI office. CBI laid a trap in Dwarka & caught one officer red-handed while taking cash. Subhash Yadav got tipped off & escaped. When CBI raided his office: 
• ₹50 lakh cash recovered
• Multiple flats & land in Dwarka
• ₹100+ crore bank transactions Allegedly 3 IPS officers are also having connection with him. These people meant to fight crime became the crime syndicate itself 🤐
