Dear Prime Minister @narendramodi ,
After your advise to stop using cars, Today I decided to walk to my office and sharing some realities with you.
Citizens are not addicted to cars. Most people would happily avoid taking their cars out if cities simply offered three things properly; safe footpaths, protected cycling tracks, and dependable Metro connectivity.
Give us these three basics and I can confidently say private car usage will reduce massively on its own.
But today, the reality is different. Cities like Pune, where public transport demand is exploding, still struggle with incomplete and delayed infrastructure, while Metro projects are inaugurated in places where the urgency and density are comparatively lower like Bhopal or Nagpur for political advantage. Footpaths are encroached upon or broken by your own goons or electric dept. Cycling tracks exist mostly for presentations, events, and photo opportunities instead of daily commuting.
Then citizens are lectured about reducing car usage.
Sir, roads in India are still unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. Asking people to give up cars without first guaranteeing safety is unfair. A middle class citizen choosing a car today is not choosing luxury; he is choosing survival and, predictability.
If you truly want us to adopt public transport and sustainable mobility, then please first make walking and cycling safe, and then focus on public transport reliable enough that citizens choose it willingly rather than being morally pressured into it.

@ojasvikhurana @Kulfei As a youngest son of the house i second this.

@gargipalaskar I tried something similar. I ended up reading a book for the sake of "completing the goal" rather than to consume, entertain, or relax.
Highly not recommended at all.
Read whatever interests you. Don't read at all if you don't enjoy. Books will eventually come to you.

i want to start reading one book a week, but somehow it’s never stuck with me. with the gym/running/hyrox, it’s easier to stay on track because there’s an end goal that you can achieve. what’s the equivalent of that for reading?
a book club? posting book reviews? need a tangible outcome that can be measured as progress + has a celebration (for strictly dopamine purposes)

I think an entire book can be written on Marathi idioms derived from regional jargons and rural lore from different parts of Maharashtra, but here's one on the topic of twelve.
बाराच्या भावात (barachya bhavat) The price at the stroke of 12 pm, indicating the "cheapest you can pay for something" at high noon, when sellers are desperate to get rid of stock just before the close of market.

Never stop saying "dozen" and "half dozen". Never stop using the word you read in an old novella. Never stop using your regional jargon. Don't succumb to an internationalized English stripped of its whimsy and romanticism in the name of streamlining global commerce.

Last week, I hit rock bottom. I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, and my right face got paralysed;
I honestly wondered how I was going to get through it!
I vibe-coded my way out and built an AI face tracking app that guides my facial exercises, measures facial symmetry in real time, and tracks my progress;
Used @OpenAIDevs Codex for core logic (@sama more limits please) and @claudeai for UI stuff;

I got married this past weekend so I did what any rational @AnthropicAI employee would do and had Claude Code analyze 12 years of iMessages with my wife, then Claude Design used that data to whip up a website for our guests in just minutes.
