@FoolzWizdom One of my friends in Whitefield used to joke that the Republic of Whitefield will declare independence from Bangalore...precisely for the snootiness of "old" Bangalore types 😅

This is an article worth reading, in all technicalities associated with law, common sense and the bigger purpose shouldn't be forgotten @SwarajyaMag swarajyamag.com/newsletters/fr…

@FoolzWizdom For a brief time, we worked at a place near Maharaja signal in Koramangala, one day, office boy came and told me its raining. I told so what and continued. I go out later and see 3 feet of water on the road!!! This is ST Bed area, encroach lakes and drains, this is what we get

Oh there will be thousands of cases of the matcha withdrawal syndrome. And laptops will have to sustain a day of not sitting on cafe tables.

@FoolzWizdom 😪

@agk_tweets Please, have patience. You are not Shivajinagar.

In our street, a tree eaten by termites fell and is resting on power lines. People are merrily going under it, angrily honking at one another for right of way - multiple officials have "seen" and gone, some placed stones at the road entrance which public duty ignores

An inspiring story of perseverance has emerged from Prayagraj, India, where an alumnus of Allahabad University has developed a highly efficient six-stroke engine after nearly two decades of dedicated work. Shailendra Singh Gaur, who graduated in 1983, spent 18 years refining his invention, often at great personal cost. He sold his land, shop, and even his house to fund the project, converting a rented space into a makeshift workshop. Drawing on technical experience gained at institutions such as Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology and IIT (BHU), he created a prototype that he claims delivers an extraordinary 176 to 200 kilometers per liter of petrol on a modified 100cc motorcycle. Unlike conventional four-stroke engines, Gaur’s six-stroke design aims to extract significantly more energy from the same amount of fuel. In one demonstration, the modified bike reportedly ran for 35 minutes on just 50 milliliters of petrol. The inventor states that the engine achieves up to 70% thermal efficiency, runs on multiple fuels, and produces near-zero pollution. Gaur has already secured two patents for the technology, with more pending. If successfully scaled and independently validated, this innovation could dramatically reduce fuel consumption and emissions for motorcycles, cars, and other vehicles across India and beyond. While the claims are remarkable and have generated significant excitement, further rigorous testing and peer review will be essential before widespread adoption. Nevertheless, Gaur’s story stands as a powerful example of individual determination and grassroots innovation in Indian engineering.

The brushes on the sides of escalators aren’t there to clean your shoes

@Rainmaker1973 Wow! This is useful...must admit I am guilt of trying to get a shoe shine each time I take the escalator!

@vivekanandahr If you live in the city here and have work in the city in Chennai, train over flight while going especially. Lalbagh, Vande Bharat, Shatabdi are super convenient. While coming after work in Chennai, flights are often the only way. Bringing time down to 2-3 hours will be amazing

We badly need high speed inter city rail connectivity. Travelling to a nearby Chennai on a flight takes 1.5 hours ti airport, 1 hour with security and boarding and 1 hr flight given air traffic. V. High speed train for 300 kms would be under an hour from heart of the city :)

@GBA_office @GBAChiefComm Sir, there has been a lot of work undertaken in Basavanagudi, NR Colony, Ashok Nagar area - please asphalt roads there as soon as possible. Right now, roads are extremely bad and the whole area has become extremely dusty. Thanks.

@Rainmaker1973 Absolutely fascinating!

In 1798, a scientist managed to “weigh” the Earth without ever leaving his laboratory. The English physicist Henry Cavendish designed one of the most delicate experiments in scientific history. Inside a quiet wooden shed, he suspended a horizontal rod from a thin wire. At each end of the rod hung two small lead spheres. Nearby, he positioned two much larger lead balls. Thanks to gravity, the massive spheres exerted a faint pull on the smaller ones, causing the rod to twist by an incredibly tiny amount — just a fraction of a degree. That minuscule movement revealed something profound. By precisely measuring this delicate twist, Cavendish calculated the strength of the gravitational force between the objects. From that single measurement, he was able to determine the density and mass of the entire Earth. His result was astonishingly accurate. Cavendish estimated Earth’s mass at approximately 6 × 10²⁴ kilograms. Modern measurements put it at 5.97 × 10²⁴ kilograms. Sometimes the greatest discoveries come from measuring the smallest forces.

I went to the CET exam centre. The authorities noticed my Janehu [sacred Hindu thread] and ordered me to remove it, warning me that if I didn’t I wouldn’t be allowed to take the exam. I had to remove it, along with seven others. - Student in Karnataka. Hindus in Hindu Rashtra.

@lennysan @gokulr I've been using gen AI to brainstorm, build narratives, scenarios before making presentations. It's brilliant at going from 0 to 80, but for it go into high 90s, I've seen how critical my inputs, taste, experience is. Massive time savings for sure. Imagine its same with design

@gokulr I rarely disagree with you, but I do on this. I expect design to become a differentiator as the quantity of software increases. And anyone that’s worked with a design system has seen how much you still need to “design” the product and experience. Great design is hard.

DESIGN: THE FIRST AI CASUALTY I'm increasingly sure that 2026 signals the end of product design as a full-fledged stand-alone function within companies. If so, it will be the first role / function to be eliminated by AI on a go-forward basis. Instead of hiring FT designers, startups are hiring / will hire design consultants to create a design system that the founder likes (this takes a few weeks max). Once the design system is finalized, PM/Eng feed it into their AI tool of choice to generate prototypes. The design system is refreshed annually by the same consultant. Larger companies will likely not backfill design roles and will do some targeted attrition to reduce the design department to 20% the size it is today. If you're a designer, I think you have two choices: 1. Become an entrepreneur: Start a design agency and become the go-to resource for design systems for startups and even larger companies. This can be a good recurring revenue business. 2. Become a builder: Add PM/Eng responsibilities to become a product builder. Would suggest you embrace this proactively vs waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm really sorry about this - some of my best friends and the people I admire most and have learnt the most from are designers - but it seems inevitable.

@FoolzWizdom With North Karnataka roots, for me, kesari bath was always with rice and I loved it. Rave one was sheera or sajjige.

@ajayrotti Today morning, there wasn't enough place on the platform today morning, despite being a govt holiday

Come to Majestic Metro Station right now. See if you can get into the next train that comes on the platform. Bangalore Metro's peak ridership is about 1 million in a day.

@ramkikorada @IndiGo6E I am tempted to pay for Fast Forward every time I take a flight just for this reason, then I don't and end up regretting.

@IndiGo6E I just boarded flight # 6425 to Vizag from Delhi. I fly by Indigo regularly. The boarding process can be streamlined and improved. There is no discipline and everyone is pushing each other while boarding.
