Happy 13th (BLR) Birthday, @livemint ! Some lockdown + Diwali cleaning in my basement threw up a soggy, mouldy but readable copy of the first day, first issue! A thread celebrating an unlikely hero – a business newspaper. Read on for fragments of a reader’s reflections… 1/16

@BLRAirport Bro - can you please figure a solution to the worst taxi pickup system across Indian airports? Horrendously inconvenient for all inbound passengers esp. Sr. citizens and people with disabilities. Yes, the shuttle service is very good 👍🏽

Connections by BLR is designed to make every connecting journey seamless. Our complimentary inter‑terminal shuttles operating at under 10-minute intervals, ensure a quick and comfortable transfer. Follow the inter‑terminal shuttle signage at our terminals or reach out to BLR Airport staff for assistance.

Chuck Norris’ passing let me down a rabbit hole - he was an incredible person. His personal code of honor, Chun Kuo Do, reads as a manifesto of how one can lead a fully engaged and fulfilling life. Here are the principles, in an easy-to-print desk poster.

@BLRAirport Crappy taxi pick up rules ruins the BLR experience. This from a customer who travels almost every week. Change the system before you lose even more respect from the passengers of what is otherwise a great airport.

@mrjethwani__ @mrjethwani_ I have no idea who you are - and wasn't following you earlier. But given your post, I'm now following you 😂

My account (@mrjethwani_) has been withheld by the fascist government. Until it’s restored, I’ll be using this account—would appreciate your help in reconnecting with my mutuals.

To fight against the fascist government I have created this account. Please help me find my mutuals.

A well deserved recognition. You need to fix the cab pick up system at BLR. Else you risk losing your crown.

After 24 years, JUSTICE FOR WALLACE.

@EdwinGames4 @MikeBeauvais Me!

@MikeBeauvais People discovering Wallace from The Wire is Michael B Jordan.

@Ziggys_Duck @traychaney Happy advance birthday from India!

I am throwing a 24th anniversary of The Wire party on June 2nd in Baltimore. Last time I did this these legends came. @traychaney is the glue that hold all things #TheWire together. See you there, brother?

@CardiffGarcia Actually, I’ve done this and it doesn’t work - the glue holding the sole on my Saucony Grid Omnis that I kept in the closet for over a year started to lose its adhesive properties Depending on running mileage (max 500 miles per pair), plan for 1 year max

When you find a pair of running shoes that are super comfortable and also fit your style perfectly, order ten pair immediately and stick the extras in a closet because they absolutely will be discontinued soon.

Hey Bangalore, I’d really appreciate your help. My wife’s starting her first business doing the thing she loves most - teaching! She’s the only person I know whose students from years ago still call her for life and career advice. She’ll be teaching commerce and accounting for 11th and 12th, in-person at Basavangudi. If you know any students or students communities (or live in a place with tons of students), I’d really appreciate you reaching out. I’m really excited to see her succeed. Thanks you ❤️

@TencentAI_News Where can I see this in Shanghai or Beijing? I’m here for a week. Would love to check it out.

The charm of #OpenClaw! 🌟 Tencent's public setup service event drew in 60+ year-olds incredible enthusiasm! From retired aviation technical engineer to librarian, they’re looking forward to embrace AI agents. Stay curious, stay digital!

@SasaReddington @ku1deep @sasareddington can you please open your DMs? Thanks.

@ku1deep @ku1deep I work in Ops team at a 1,500 employee cmp across 6 countries. Last March, we began replacing JIRA with a self-built proprietary system, developed by 2 fresh grads under our guidance, with AI-assisted coding. We’re cancelling Jira this July. quite a lot of cost savings.

Can my friends point me to some examples of tweets where 1. Someone met a real business objective using AI 2. Is not hyping up what actually happened (almost 80% of these tweets lately are simple lies) 3. was not a expert at domain in which the outcome that was achieved. thanks.

@umachingunde @pitdesi Swabhiman! Played by the inimitable Kittu Gidwani. Loved her fringe cut.

@pitdesi Russian names were/are popular even without political connotations eg Natasha, Svetlana (popular tv show), Misha, Mikhail, Anouskha, Anya, Anna etc. in the 80s we had access to Russian books, magazines and tv shows and I’m guessing those were an influence

You might be surprised to learn that Stalin is a fairly common name in South India. You’ll also find Lenins, Trotskys, and even Ho Chi Minhs! People wanted to name their kids after strong world leaders, especially socialist ones during a time when India was allied with the USSR. It was popular in the 1950s-1960s, but there’s a funny feedback loop where now you wouldn’t name your kid after Joseph Stalin but you might name your kid after MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, so there are still baby Stalins out there. There was even an Indian Adolf Hitler, a government minister who was arrested by an Indian John F. Kennedy - it was a field day for newspaper headline writers.

@mumbaiheritage While a student at Bajaj across the road, my most enduring memory is that of sitting on the grass at Oval Maidan, listening to the clock chiming. Sadly, the compound is out of bounds to regular citizens. Manned by incompetent guards, watching reels all day (I did get lucky!)

157 Years of Mumbai’s Skyline: The Foundation of Rajabai Tower. 🕰️✨ On March 1, 1869, the first stone was laid for the Rajabai Clock Tower. At 280 ft, it was Mumbai’s tallest building for decades. Completed in 1878 for Rs. 2 Lacs, it stands today as a 150-year-old sentinel of our history. 🏛️🌆 #MumbaiHeritage #History #OnThisDay #Mumbai #Architecture #RajabaiClockTower

@thetrickytrade Is there any card that can help me move from Air India Maharaja Club Silver to Gold status? I know they’ve paused the SBI cobranded card after AI 171. Any other hacks or transfers possible ?

I spend lakhs on credit cards. Never pay a rupee in interest. Instead, the banks pays me to fly business and first around the world. Good debt hits different.

@thedelhiwalla Great to see so many letters being posted

Ooh la la!… postman still exists! Letterbox still functions!

@JuanBertoldi2 @heynavtoor I'm eager to try this with Granola. Personal preference over Otter, since it doesn't announce its presence and join all my Zoom calls as a bot.

@heynavtoor Great post. Will start trying these things, as opposed to what i have been doing now, setting a project and uploading the most relevant files. One integration I’m eager to try is Otter.
