You all are overthinking your side projects. >This guy made digital balls physically bounce off real objects/sticky notes using just a webcam, a projector, and JavaScript. Go build something fun. (via ig/bongyunng)

@SupreetKini Since December 2024. :D @HDFCERGOGIC hasn’t responded to Ombudsman’s email. Imagine the audacity and imagine helplessness of a government authority in the front of a private company. RTI is also pending with CIC since 19 October 2025. I’m still pursuing this.

@knowkalpesh @ajeetbharti @HDFCERGOGIC Man, how long has this been going on for? Wouldn’t suggest @HDFCERGOGIC to even my worst enemies!

@PatrioticSoul33 Still going on for me.. will continue until they fix it.

If something can be done here.

@ByRakeshSimha Interesting. Curious to know where are we know after 10 years.

In 2016 I wrote an article in Swarajya Magazine on "How India's Ballistic Missile Defence Can Take Down Pakistan." Here's what Lt General Syed Ata Hasnain, former GOC, 15 Corps and 21 Corps, said about it: "The article is worth its weight in gold." Lt Gen Hasnain was appointed Governor of Bihar on March 5.

People often imagine that, just because an Indian embassy is located outside the country, the service standards would be any different. From the limited number of times I’ve had to reach out to one, and from the stories I’ve heard from others who’ve had to seek help, these are basically an extension of a typical govt office back home. Don’t expect anything to be different. The most recent South Korean immigration episode reaffirms the same: you’re on your own.

@hellonehha I enrolled in FTI-TTP and now more stamps from Indian immigration. ;)

My second passport has run out of visa pages. I had kept one blank page specifically for a visa. Based on my calculations, I only needed one more EU visa, so I thought I could avoid applying for a new passport. However, during my last trip to India, the immigration office stamped that same blank page. As a result, I now need to apply for a new passport. good problems to have 😂

We just shipped our second story of @getplumhq 's DataLabs investigation. Investigating Heart Disease: The burden, costs, and early risk. In this cohort, we analyzed 9,534 heart‑related claims from 7,402 patients adding up to more than ₹148 Cr in billed care.

@EUAmbIndia Will we see close collaboration on startup ecosystem too?

A few days after the historic 🇪🇺-🇮🇳Summit, talks have been launched on a potential association of India to Horizon Europe the world’s largest research & innovation programme of €93.5 billion. The programme enables collaboration to boost competitiveness & tackle global issues.

@1Umairshaikh Hello folks 👋 Building DefenceOS with @its__das and @khurramshahidi1 A software platform for European defence manufacturers addressing procurement, compliance, and supply chain challenges with European data sovereignty. defenceos.eu

Founders: It’s Friday. Network day. Startups grow faster with the right people around you. Introduce yourself and network 🤝

@MikeMacCombie Thank you for this, Mike. 🙂

Raising a pre-seed/seed round? I'll help make some intros. I like to make sure no great deals are prevented from getting done, and we’re back again for the February edition :) I made 301 intros for founders raising last month, and doing the process again this week to help some more. Doing my next experiment for 30.02 hours (ends 2/6, 9:30 pm ET): *Read this closely* 1) Email *all of*: deck (link is preferred over PDF)+blurb+traction+round size+round terms (if established)+3 reasons your company is compelling (the more factual/data-based the better, could be traction, team, or other, and put in it the third person, not first. Eg "their traction" vs. "our traction")+your LinkedIn link+company HQ location to mike+20262@mikemaccombie.com, hard deadline tomorrow at 9:30 pm ET. 2) Title must be *exactly*: "30.02-hour experiment 2026-2” and must include *all* the above elements for consideration. 3) I’ll share at least the top 3 companies w/ 100+ VCs next week. Last time I did this, I got 39 investor intros for the founders I shared. Last year, I invested in 2 companies that originally came to me through one of these challenges :)

@icelandcricket @KristrunFrosta Do you play Gully Cricket?

We are now the 5th most followed account on X in Iceland. Sigur Rós are in 4th place on 201k. We have 3 times the following of our football association and 18 times more X fans than our current Prime Minister, @KristrunFrosta. Who would have thought it?!

@readswithravi Murakami. Started with Kafka on the Shore then read 3 more.

Have you ever read a book by an author that was so good it made you want to read everything else they've written?

✈️ Travel Updates 2026: Potential: 1. Cuba 🇨🇺 2. Europe - BiH 🇧🇦, Moldova 🇲🇩, UK 🇬🇧, Sweden 🇸🇪 3. Algeria 🇩🇿

I think I traveled almost every other month in 2025 and a bunch of weekends too. Visited 13 countries, all in Europe. 🥳

@ranganathan_sr @DrSJaishankar @MEAIndia Hope public servants (His Excellencies 🫡) in Addis embassy will talk decently when Indian citizens seek help. :)

New year, new role! As I take over as Secretary (CPV & OIA), I look forward to working under the leadership of EAM @drsjaishankar to strengthen consular services, deepen our diaspora engagement and ensure a people-centric approach across PSKs and our Missions/Posts. @MEAIndia
