@RizGandotra Famous saying “Having one kid makes you a parent and two makes you a referee”

“Dad, tell her..."
"Dad, tell him..." Daughter is back home, son has grown up enough to defend himself, and I'm now the official court of appeal for every sibling dispute. The arguments are loud, the complaints endless, and my heart couldn't be happier. Smiles :)

@DivaJain2 But FX will impact inflation, so now do the maths

@pratapgrover No, you dont import most of your consumption basket. Your purchasing power depends on inflation not on FX directly. Your maths is not mathing.

@RizGandotra 280 here but not so good quality

When nimboos start behaving like luxury items… ₹359/kg and still average quality. What’s happening? Same at your place?

@RizGandotra Lost home for sure, Few years back they were common spotting in herds on Faridabad Gurgaon Road and now they are hardly to be seen

A Nilgai (blue bull) casually crossing a city street. We call it urban wildlife… they probably call it lost home.

If you solve this, you’re different Can you solve ?

@SonaliThakker It was a 6 for me, not sure weak sequel after a strong first part is kind of a trend, first Pushpa now Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar 2 was a 7/10 for me. Not as good as the first one, the lack of a clear villian like Akshaye Khanna was very much missing. And a lot of the conflict resolution felt very convenient but it just all comes together so well in the end. It makes it all worth it.

@DivaJain2 It was never about the food... But good music and ambience

Good riddance. The one in Calcutta had terrible food and full of pretentious "aantels" (intellectuals).

@RizGandotra Cheers 🍻

@RizGandotra 🤣

@RizGandotra @ShivrattanDhil1 @Mahindra_Auto @Toyota_India @MSArenaOfficial Its not the car its the driver, While many of us learnt on how to handle it but so many for creating a theatre on road and not the trails. Then one fine day they find themselves stuck, clueless, and overconfident. The RWD version just made that crowd bigger.

@ShivrattanDhil1 @Mahindra_Auto @Toyota_India @MSArenaOfficial Hmm.. Honestly, I doubt even Jimny owners know this. Maybe Hilux or V-Cross folks… and that too if they’ve actually done an off-road trip where this stuff gets explained

Do one thing try this! 90% of Thar or sedan owners travelling to snow don’t even know the basics: what AT, MT, HT or winter tyres are; the difference between RWD and AWD; what a cold start is; how or where to fit snow chains; correct tyre pressure for snow; what low ratio is used for; what oversteering means; which direction to steer during a skid; what antifreeze does; how to use a jack; what traction actually is; or what differential lockers are. Now ask the same questions to a Hilux or Jimny owner you’ll get answers from 90% of them. That’s the difference between passion for cars versus buying a vehicle just for show-off. All others know only this: start the car, stop on the road, shoot a reel, block traffic, hit other vehicles, turn back, and later file an insurance claim. Vacation done! 👍🏻

@RizGandotra We can open it in BLR on your next travel

To open or not open … ?

@RizGandotra Happy Lohri

9°C and falling… just right for Lohri. Wishing everyone warmth, happiness, and prosperity. Happy Lohri!

@RizGandotra Bangalore is not empty but no long queues either

@parrysingh @parrysingh its a great way to do it and you have explained it beautifully, I tweaked it further and traded my Kindle with iPad mini so I now have my notes, Meetings and Kindle in a single device

A few days ago, I cheated. I shared my 20% Rule: start many books, but if they don’t get sticky by 20%, move on. But that’s only half the truth. Many people find it even tough to reach 20%. "Too many distractions for even that", they say. Actually the real reason is something else. Books are outgunned by another opponent - the phone! Yes, the phone is the conduit to multiple distractions: YouTube, Insta, WhatsApp. But its real superpower isn’t content. It’s proximity. The DGT Your phone wins over books simply because it is your DGT: Default Go-To. It is always there with you. When you have three minutes before a Zoom call, your hand doesn't make a conscious decision. It just reaches. The A-C Gap The book, meanwhile, is sitting somewhere else. Hence, it suffers from the A-C Gap: the Accessibility-Continuity Gap. If the book isn’t accessible, continuity breaks. You forget the plot, you lose the thread, and picking it up again feels like school homework. So, you might as well watch the next reel. My fix was embarrassingly simple - I started carrying books everywhere. Client meetings. AI workshops I host. Coffee shops. Boarding gates. The same places where I used to “kill time” by scrolling, I started filling time with pages. It's a simple DGT Switch: the Default Go To switch. I carry a Kindle as well a physical book as my DGT. Along with other essentials like the water bottle, airpods, diary and pen. This change solved the accessibility problem, it removed the A-C gap, and helped me finish 25 books last year. I didn't become a disciplined ninja overnight. I just made the right thing easier to reach. So, you might want to try changing your DGT. Don't worry, your phone will survive the separation anxiety.

@Mahindra_XUV7XO Is it just me or someone else also thinks that if Marazzo and 7OO were to have a baby it would look like 7XO

Presence that leaves no room for debate. Bookings open on 14th January, 2026.

@DivaJain2 However as a user of both (RE Interceptor & Triumph Scrambler)the fit and finish of Bajaj is still way ahead of the Royal Enfield

Fundamental flaw in Indian approach to exports. Bajaj exporting to 3rd world countries does not make it more competitive globally nor does it require Bajaj to move up the tech/value/Brand curve. Royal Enfield model of exporting to US/UK does. Don't be a Rahul, be a Siddhartha :)

@RizGandotra I hope this is not AI generated

I realised it early in life, Nobody cares. Stop fearing the judgment of people, Nobody is thinking about you. They’re too busy thinking about themselves
