@karnatakaportf @IndiGo6E management ought to be ashamed that their operational ineptitude put their ground staff without solutions against an understandably angry crowd who just want answers. They failed their staff much worse than they failed their customers

Shameless Behaviour by Passenger Towards IndiGo Ground Staff Flight delays and cancellations are decisions taken by the management, not by the ground staff who work tirelessly at the airport. Yet some completely clueless and ill-mannered passengers choose to vent their frustration on these employees, shouting, abusing, and behaving as if they have no basic upbringing. It is shocking to see how uneducated and uncultured a few passengers can be. Instead of understanding the situation or speaking politely, they resort to foul language and aggressive behaviour towards staff who have absolutely no control over operational decisions. Such people seem to have forgotten even the most basic lessons of manners and decency or perhaps no one ever taught them how to behave in public.Abusing ground staff does not make flights operate faster. It only exposes the shameful mindset of those passengers who think that humiliating others is the solution to their inconvenience. These individuals not only create chaos but also spoil the environment for everyone around them.Airline staff stand for hours, manage crowds, answer endless questions, and still try to help passengers with patience. And in return, some people respond with abuse instead of gratitude. This behaviour is not just disrespectful it's disgusting.Such passengers need to understand that airports are not their personal shouting grounds. If they have complaints, there are official channels to raise them. Verbal abuse and arrogant behaviour only show their lack of culture, dignity, and basic human values #bangalore #bengaluru #blrairport #indigo @BLRAirport @IndiGo6E @BlrCityPolice @blrcitytraffic @CPBlr @Jointcptraffic @alokkumar6994 @DgpKarnataka @KarnatakaCops @Lolita_TNIE @ChristinMP_

@rajeshsawhney Also in Rameshwaram, Ganesh Mess right next to the temple entrance

@rajeshsawhney In Madurai - Thali at Gowri Parvathi Bhavan

Road-trip in December Pondicherry-Madurai- Rameshwaram-Kanyakumari-Trivendrum 1) Where should we stay, especially in Pondicherry? Want to have French Quarters experience. offbeat suggestions are welcome. 2) Where should we eat? 3) Which places/diversions we should not miss enroute? Help me to make it a memorable trip for my family. Thank you.

@rajeshsawhney @airindia @IndiGo6E @KapilChopra72 I’ve taken at least 10 flights a month for the past 10 months I’ve been in India and all of them on @IndiGo6E. About 95% on time departure and by far the most impressive efficiency in turning around aircraft for the next flight.

I took 8 flights in the last 30 days, 7 were of @airindia and 1 of @IndiGo6E 4 out of 8 were significantly late (more than 100 mins) including one of Indigo. Low on safety, low of customer experience and low on flying on time too. It’s all going downhill @KapilChopra72

@antoniogm Perfect description

I got a 'deep cleaning' at the dentist, and after what felt like hours with some mini-jackhammer in my mouth resulting in a bloody slurry that had to be constantly sucked out, my teeth now feel like Legos that got removed and replaced by a clumsy toddler.

@sgsvnk @kiranshaw Yes this is a city service I wish was in all places. I’ve carried trash in my pockets until I find a suitable bin to throw it

@kiranshaw This touches the right points - Why are there no garbage bins in the locations where trash is piling up? - Why are citizens not questioning their municipality and leaders? - Why municipalities and leaders haven’t cared so far?

Garbage is a serious malaise countrywide n no municipality of big cities has managed to solve it. Indore n Surat seemed to have cracked it but mumbai delhi Bengaluru etc haven’t. Very very pathetic which shows citizens lack of civic sense n huge apathy by both citizens n administration. We lack pride

@kiranshaw It is also the culture of the citizens that must change. People take the concept of use and throw quite literally. This is from my recent visit to Kanyakumari. Keep my home clean by throwing my litter elsewhere

@Appyg99 That you spend even a minute to respond 🙄

These LinkedIn automations so out of control 🤣

@ppitti Incredibly impressed that you’ve taken this initiative. How can I support you

🚨 MAJOR UPDATE on Bangalore Traffic Project! I am confident of improving Bangalore traffic by 25-30% within a year's time --- 1. Collaboration at Scale In just 10 days, after meeting the commissioners of BTP, BBMP, CP, Google team, IISC professors, Scientist, Road Engineers, Traffic Related Entrepreneurs. All three newly appointed commissioners were very kind to invite me to showcase existing capabilities AND collaborate to work together. For the first time we are bringing all key public and private players - to the same table. --- 2. Quick Optimization Projects A) Bangalore Traffic Simulators Both BTP and IISC have simulation models, which can create millions of re-routing permutations to reduce travel-time (not shortest distance). I have requested the data from Google, Uber, Ola, Rapido, that will make models predict better re-routing. Some of them have confirmed to help. Waiting for others. If the model starts working, we will be able to predict where/when gridlock is going to happen, so we can fix it before it occurs. B) Fixing Feedback Loop Govt already has apps, where people can report potholes. I will take ownership of that app, to increase its scope (report illegal parking, broken signal, wrong side driving, water logging, broken vehicle, etc). I will also increase accountability and recognition by showcasing all the complaints lodged AND action-taken (along with time-stamp) publicly. C) Hyperlocal Rain Predictor Govt closes the road to do infra/maintenance work, but then it starts raining on that patch of road and work halts. This leads to crazy downtime and traffic congestion. Hyperlocal Rain Predictor project will also allow us to fix drainage issues, even before it happens. D) Green Wave Signals: Putting traffic lights in sync, so they move vehicles in waves, instead of stopping at every junction. A pilot is already happening, we will analyse the results to see if it makes sense to be done at City level. --- 3. The Vision for India Many people mentioned in my last post "Bangalore Traffic is an Infra problem", congrats on stating the obvious. If we continue to wait for the infra to become better, then we are merely playing a catch-up game with the West. There is so much scope to optimize current infra, and I would rather focus on that. This is no longer about rants or blaming the system. It’s about practical optimism - believing that with data, intent, and collaboration, we can improve what feels unfixable. --- 4. Ask from Readers: A) Continue your support and share/comment. The more you amplify, the more right folks will be able to join us in solving this gridlock. I am in it for the long haul. Are you? B) Join our WhatsApp Community, where I will regularly post the next-steps. Plus we need more info from each one of you. On which junction/road, you face massive traffic issue. So we can present them to the right authorities. Link to join below in the comment section 👇 #BangaloreTraffic #ForPublicGoodAI #Bangalore

For Earth Day 2025, the world needs a reset on climate thinking. The first scientists who spoke out about climate change did so according to the facts and evidence, fighting harsh pressure from industries and denialists. But climate activism become more about political tribalism, social justice, and virtue signaling. I have spent half a decade now working with other climate entrepreneurs to do everything possible to fight the battle against climate change. And in that time, many of us have found that the Left is as bad as the Right when it comes to standing in the way of making real progress against this problem! Today’s politics are about vibes and tribes, not facts and evidence. Nowhere is this more on tragic display when it comes to climate policy and public discussion. In a scientific field so vastly complex and multidisciplinary as climate science, we can ill afford this! On this Earth Day 2025, we need a new era of climate thinking, one focused on practical solutions, real experiments, and the evidence they yield. Climate is many things, but it’s not about social justice. It’s not about decolonization. It’s not about capitalism or marxism. It’s not about the patriarchy. It is not about the bad guys vs the good guys. It is about gases in the atmosphere. Carbon footprint is not a moral sin, it is not something we need to “atone” for. It is a technical problem, a detail we missed, and a physical problem to be solved like any other. We are living together on a Spaceship Earth and we missed a key detail managing our atmospheric control systems. It is not a moral or social issue, it is a technical problem, and we need to solve it. And we will not solve the problem until we actually start solving the problem!! There are many many solutions, and whether one “side” prefers one vs the other is not the point. The point is whether it works and gets us closer to our goal. For example: Reforestation is effective at carbon capture and can be done almost anywhere by anyone! Natural gas is actually a great replacement for coal and amenable to carbon capture and sequestration! Solar power is great where there is a lot of land and sunlight! Nuclear power is great where there is little land and a highly-skilled workforce! Nuclear waste is a solved problem! Wacky windmill designs are provably inferior to large maximally amortizable 3-bladed designs! Really big dams are great but limited by available geography! High-voltage long-distance power lines need to be built to connect production and consumption! Stratospheric aerosol injection is affordable and effective and not the same thing as causing acid rain pollution! Finally, advocating carbon drawdown is not saying we don’t need to reduce emissions, so stop with that silliness! (Liking pancakes doesn’t mean you hate waffles!) All of these things (and many more) all fit into a giant portfolio of solutions that contribute to solving the problem. If this is a climate EMERGENCY, start acting like it: support all possible solutions, try out all experiments, and don’t give in to despair! Climate change is a problem we DESERVE: finally, as we climb our way up the Kardashev scale, we have reached a milestone where our activities are great enough to affect the planetary atmosphere and ecosystem. And of course we didn’t do a perfect job on our first try! We are lucky that we’re only a couple degrees off! We can fix this, if we focus on solving the problem! We will succeed if we focus on evidence-based problem-solving, and not be distracted by passing political and social fads. It’s 2025, and it is time for us to stop making climate change a proxy issue for our other political and social debates. Those debates aren’t going to go away any time soon. Some of them are timeless. And plenty of them are worthwhile debates. But climate change is a separate problem on its own, and it’s a problem we can solve. And we deserve, all of us, to live on a planet that’s healthy and beautiful - and it will be even sweeter, if we are the ones who helped make it so. After all, if we are going to visit other planets, it’s best to make sure our own house is in order first.

@tysonweihs Did it work?

The only metric I’m using to evaluate whether Apple Intelligence is a success is the number of times Siri tells me “I do not see a [wife’s name] in your contacts. Who would you like to call?”.

@blader Nice! I am your follower so by the power transitive closure, I am launching an OF as well 😉

Why are they not so nice for automobiles? I’d like signs on highways say “Please obey 65 MPH”

@kevinb9n This. I feel deep inside we know it is time but it just becomes habit t after so long that you need an exogenous circumstance like this to get us moving again

Layoffs suck, but in my case... it's fine, because I've needed some kind of change in my life for a very long time. And I have no plans to rush into anything else right now. I've got too much to do: cycling, reading, restarting my drum lessons, travel, family time. etc. etc.

End of an era! After 19 years of working at @Google, with more than 16 of them on the team that I founded, I made the tough decision yesterday morning to finally bite the bullet and find out that I'd been laid off overnight.

@blader Very excited to try it out. Exactly what I wanted to do when Dall-E first came out

hard to not be deliriously excited as an investor

@bharatvasan @supergut_ I want to talk to you about this

Lost 40 lbs on #Ozempic and it’s changed my snacking/food patterns permanently. Huge believer in how the CPG snack aisle is going to get remade permanently by companies like @supergut_, with 10s of millions of people on GLP1 drugs.

@stevesi Picard! Period

@stevesi My first time driving in Oregon was last year and I was very uncomfortable waiting for someone to pump gas. Glad this is going away

@elonmusk You just saw it now??? Really?? I know you have too many things going on, but …

Office Space is an awesome movie
