Dear @blrcitytraffic, I broke a traffic signal near Shanti Nagar Bus Stand by mistake yesterday. Can I pay my fine proactively?

The most important thing we learn at school is the fact that the most important things can't be learned at school. - Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

I built KooKoo, our cloud telephony platform, the core of which even now powers our 20 million calls a day, in a single night. It was just me, sitting down, getting the idea at around 4:30 in the evening, discussing with Atul, and grinding the night out to have a working prototype by the next day. Of course, I was young and had the energy to do all-nighters; I do not have that energy anymore. 😊 Initially, the core for Cloud Agent, the cloud contact center product that powers more than 100,000 agents on a daily basis, was built in a couple of days with 3 to 4 people. Building quickly has never been a problem for us, but what took one night to build took 3 years for adoption, and what took 3 days to build took another 3 to 5 years for adoption. Writing code is not equal to building a company.

कहाँ तक आँख रोएगी कहाँ तक किसका ग़म होगा मेरे जैसा यहाँ कोई न कोई रोज़ कम होगा तुझे पाने की कोशिश में कुछ इतना खो चुका हूँ मैं कि तू मिल भी अगर जाये तो अब मिलने का ग़म होगा समन्दर की ग़लतफ़हमी से कोई पूछ तो लेता , ज़मीं का हौसला क्या ऐसे तूफ़ानों से कम होगा मोहब्बत नापने का कोई पैमाना नहीं होता , कहीं तू बढ़ भी सकता है, कहीं तू मुझ से कम होगा - वसीम बरेलवी

Sometimes we don't want to heal because the pain is the last link to what we've lost. - Ibn Sina

If in any state there is a body of men who possess unlimited political power, those over whom they rule can never be free.For, the one assured result of historical investigation is the lesson that uncontrolled power is invariably poisonous to those who possess it. They are always tempted to impose their canon of good upon others, and in the end, they assume that the good of the community depends upon the continuance of their power. Liberty always demands a limitation of political authority. - Dr B.R. Ambedkar, Pakistan or Partition of India

The physical and intellectual effects of purdah are nothing as compared with its effects on morals. The origin of purdah lies of course in the deep-rooted suspicion of sexual appetites in both sexes and the purpose is to check them by segregating the sexes. But far from achieving the purpose, purdah has adversely affected the morals of Muslim men. Owing to purdah a Muslim has no contact with any woman outside those who belong to his own household. - Dr B.R. Ambedkar, Pakistan or Partition of India

कितने घायल हैं, कितने बिस्मिल हैं, इस खुदाई में, एक तू क्या है... - Jaan Nisar Akhtar

क्या करूँ संवेदना लेकर तुम्हारी? क्या करूँ? मैं दु:खी जब-जब हुआ संवेदना तुमने दिखाई, मैं कृतज्ञ हुआ हमेशा, रीति दोनों ने निभाई, किंतु इस आभार का अब हो उठा है बोझ भारी; क्या करूँ संवेदना लेकर तुम्हारी? क्या करूँ? एक भी उच्छ्वास मेरा हो सका किस दिन तुम्हारा? उस नयन से बह सकी कब इस नयन की अश्रु-धारा? सत्य को मूँदे रहेगी शब्द की कब तक पिटारी? क्या करूँ संवेदना लेकर तुम्हारी? क्या करूँ? कौन है जो दूसरों को दु:ख अपना दे सकेगा? कौन है जो दूसरों से दु:ख उसका ले सकेगा? क्यों हमारे बीच धोखे का रहे व्यापार जारी? क्या करूँ संवेदना लेकर तुम्हारी? क्या करूँ? क्यों न हम लें मान, हम हैं चल रहे ऐसी डगर पर, हर पथिक जिस पर अकेला, दु:ख नहीं बँटते परस्पर, दूसरों की वेदना में वेदना जो है दिखाता, वेदना से है मुक्ति का निज हर्ष केवल वह छिपाता; तुम दु:खी हो तो सुखी मैं विश्व का अभिशाप भारी! क्या करूँ संवेदना लेकर तुम्हारी? क्या करूँ? - हरिवंशराय बच्चन

Finally I figured out what happened in #USIran war. #SmritiIrani was calling her friends in US. CIA intercepted the call and assumed talks are happening between US and Iran. Feel free to thank me. #PJ
