Apparently, the cleanest air in Mumbai is at building construction sites. According to their AQI display boards, Andheri air is close to Switzerland levels

Interesting how some ppl are getting mad at me in replies for something that my father and everyone else did 40 yrs ago 🤔

LPG shortage reminds me of an incident from Childhood. In late 80's we lived in Panchkula and there was a shortage of LPG. All of us were complaining "Cylinder nahi mil raha". My dad arranged a backup Cylinder from someone he knew. Now, a few days later our booked cylinder showed up but we didn't have an empty cylinder to exchange. So, we asked our neighbours if they could give their empty Cylinder. Turns out, nobody in our neighborhood had an empty Cylinder as everybody arranged from outside, while saying "Cylinder nahi mil raha". We had to refuse our legit delivery because there was actually a shortage of empty Cylinders in our neighbourhood

@veganvicky7 This was in 1980s. Pls ask my dad

@amitandon If u don't have empty cylinder then why you booked? You could've cancelled the booking. I've never heard of such stories. Untrue! We've two cylinders. one we're using & another is empty since 16th Feb. So now I've did booking for new refilled lpg cylinder.

Poor Ricky Martin trying to sing live, while Sukhbir knew what will work here 😅

So England got knocked out on Thurs get a charter home today .. West Indies go out last Sunday and are still in Kolkata .. SA in the same position .. That’s where the power is all wrong .. All teams in this situation should be treated the same .. just because you are more powerful at the ICC table shouldn’t count .. #JustSaying

Sunny G angry at the DJ for getting crowds to shout 'Boom Boom Bumrah' in between deliveries. Love it. Full support.😂

@rajaramvb @abhishek Hahaha....

@abhishek @amitandon reminded me is your Technology stand up 😄😄

Kohler should fire whoever designed this. 👀

SEEDANCE 2.0 , the MURDERER of FILM INDUSTRY Leaving aside its copyright infringements etc which is another matter , here’s my take on Seedance 2.0 @ssrajsmouli is the no. 1 director because he makes the most expensive films and the most successful ..People fund him a 1000 crores or more because of his track record and all that again is due to his unsurpassed creative imagination ..But now In a country of some 120 crore people, who knows how many more Rajamoulis or even better than him are there in small towns, villages, engineering colleges, and government jobs right now? People who have creative vision , but who will never get access to neither the film industry nor funds to put their vision on screen ..The opportunity gate is locked for them and the keys are only with a few chosen ones Now Seedance 2.0 just kicked that gate down and set it on fire. This can take just their descriptive prompts and create a cinematic, multi shot, sound designed, devastatingly impactful scenes that look like they cost 100s of crores and took months or years to make. Suddenly, a creative guy in Gorakhpur or Coimbatore or Satara or wherever, doing a mundane job to feed his family , who can’t even afford to come to Mumbai can just write a scene and the likes of Seedance makes it for him and that is true democracy in motion Real democracy is taking the tools out of the hands of the elite and putting them in the hands of the people. Seedance just did that to cinema. Back then , Nagarjuna had maybe some 10 guys to choose from , when he picked me for Shiva. Today, thanks to the likes of Seedance 2.0, he will have a thousand or more options , out of which 990 could be better than me A director’s “primary job” is to take a scene on paper and transfer it onto screen using actors, cameramen, editors, production designers, VFX studios, action directors, dancers, musicians, location managers, light boys, spot boys etc and now advanced versions of the likes of Seedance 2.0 will eliminate that entire ecosystem. No more star issues No more producers panicking over budgets. No more “we’ll fix it in post.” No more 300 people standing around waiting for one shot. Just one person. One prompt. One mind. The moment advanced versions of A I can generate full length films at theatrical quality, the film industry as we know it with its unions, its crores of “overheads,” its “only we know how to make films” arrogance will die Not slowly. Not peacefully. It will get murdered brutally But at the heart of it , this is actually the liberation of cinema. The dinosaurs had their 100 year reign. Now the asteroid has arrived. And its name is A I Welcome to the new era. Where only talent matters more than access. Where the murderer is also the saviour. And there will be no going back ever So is it THE DEATH OF THE FILM INDUSTRY ? or is it THE ULTIMATE DEMOCRATISATION OF THE FILM INDUSTRY?

@vijayaksharma @amitandon True. Was part of the system for 2 decades. products were pushed out of duress without proper idea be it MF, Life insurance etc. I remember one life insurance head threatening me that he would complain to top mgmt if his policies are not sold. Now i think things are changing.

Many of my freinds working in PSUs...when they were selected they were so happy. But as 2 3 years passed they talk always about TARGETS, pressure from superiors...their health is not that good as compare it used to be. They always thinks about monthly targets and got frustrated. #psu #bankers #bankerslife

As someone who was part of the system for 12 years, I can say this clearly..most employees don’t want to push unsuitable products. They work under intense target pressure. The issue isn’t individuals. It’s incentive structures that prioritize numbers over customer trust. That’s what needs fixing.

Scary!

@_Anandd_ Yeah but now you literally have to Guard your money from banks

@amitandon Amit ji, your bankers are still courteous enough to call. There have been cases where people were misled, their funds diverted and invested in trash schemes and funds. RBI has rules in places, but "smart indians" will always find a way to circumvent those rules. Sab apne hath hai

Dear Banks, Stop pressurizing your employees so much for targets that they drive away the customers. Now I am almost scared of maintaining a healthy balance because someone in the branch will see it and start pushing me to invest in some low return / high commission scheme. Every time I have bought a plan from the bank, the yields have been shitty because client welfare is not their focus, their targets are.

Went down the rabbit hole on this one. The answer is actually wild. 5,000 years ago, Sumerian merchants in modern-day Iraq needed a number that's easy to divide. They picked 60. It has 12 divisors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60). Base-10 only has four. That's 3x as many ways to split something evenly, which matters when you're dividing grain and wages and can't handle repeating decimals. The counting method is the best part. They used their thumb as a pointer on the three bone segments of each finger. Four fingers, three segments, that's 12 per hand. Track multiples of 12, on the other hand, and you hit 60. No pen needed. Merchants in parts of Asia still count this way today. The system spread from Sumer to the Babylonians, then eastward to Persia, India, and China, and westward to Egypt and Rome. By 1800 BC, Babylonian students were using base-60 to calculate the square root of 2 to six decimal places on clay tablets. One student's homework from 4,000 years ago, now at Yale, holds the most accurate computation found anywhere in the ancient world. The Greeks adopted it for astronomy, which locked it into navigation, cartography, and eventually clocks in the 14th century. People have tried to kill it. During the French Revolution in 1793, France mandated decimal time: 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute. New clocks, new laws, the whole thing. Lasted 17 months. Workers hated getting one day off every ten days instead of one every seven. They tried again in 1897. Scrapped by 1900. The metric system replaced feet and pounds across most of the world. But 60 minutes in an hour? Untouchable. 60 is just too good at being divided. You can split an hour into halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, tenths, twelfths, or twentieths and land on a whole number every time. Try that with 100, and you get ugly decimals for thirds, sixths, and most common splits. 5,000 years of civilizations looked at that math and came to the same conclusion: 60 wins.
