So, I am home after surgery. Bittersweet experience. But, you know what is bothering me? These bath wipes! Why? Because they are available 9 packs for ₹299. How much hospital charged? ₹530 for each pack. Full price. 😶 And you cannot imagine how many packs used in last 8 days! Cannot even argue with someone over this because we are Fortis saar! MRP saar! Have no energy for all that now. But, beware! In case of emergency, leave everything and first take your own wet wipes to hospital. Wish @fortis_hospital was a bit considerate for this random added cost.



Paying for an AC cab and then having to BEG the driver to increase the AC from 1 to 2 has somehow become the new normal. Uber/Ola/Rapido are genuinely getting out of hand - and there is zero accountability anymore. You pay for an AC cab. The driver purposely keeps the AC at 1. The airflow is terrible. The cab feels suffocating within minutes. Instead of cooling you down - it just gives you a headache and makes the ride unbearably uncomfortable. The moment you ask to increase the AC to 2 or 3 - you get looked at with so much disgust and anger as if you’ve committed a crime. The worst part? We are literally paying a premium for comfort - only to travel uncomfortably. If drivers don’t want to run the AC properly, they shouldn’t be accepting AC rides in the first place. The apps already have non-AC categories for a reason. At this point, this feels less like an occasional problem and more like an accepted scam. Basic comfort in an AC cab should not feel like a luxury anymore. Do better, @Uber @Olacabs @rapidobikeapp.










Open letter to Indians in America. -- Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat: Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way. Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned. You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict. Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect. Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself. As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal. Respectfully Sridhar Vembu
