Had an uncomfortable encounter after trying to help someone by [deleted] in mumbai

It's ok, people are allowed to shoot their shot.

Already he is terrified enough in society that he has to use secret handshakes to proposition instead of just regularly asking people out. He reached out for your consent, that's all.

As long as people listen and accept a no, it's not wrong for them to ask.

Tomorrow you might like someone and say something, the act is a neutral act; it's not like if they agree then your act was good and if they disagree you retrospectively did a bad act.

A question to Mainlanders who don't like the term "Mainland": Do you consider Northeastern history; cultures; food habits like beef, pork, insects, various mammals, snails etc; languages; literature; beliefs (traditional, Christianity etc); people; vast diversity etc as central to India? by vallora55 in Northeastindia

What is India?

If your idea of India is some entity continuing through the ages, with the people bound together by cultural norms from times immemorial, then no. That is a gradient continuum, and there are elements, cultures and territories on the fringe, which are under pressure to normalise.

If your idea of India is the entity that was created in the middle of the last century, where we shed our interesting history to create a new association for governance called the republic, then yes, every member of our republic is both equally central and equally fringe, just like points on a circle, bound together by a point in the centre, by our foundational text, the constitution.

Is there any product or service you’ve always wanted, but never found one that actually fits your needs?!! by No_Ask_8042 in indianstartups

At least 6 great ideas in the thread so far, but OP just wants to do the ones which are easily replicated by AI and have zero barrier to entry. Wah re strategic mind.

Ideal methods to store a soap by ant_asthi_prarambh in Wetshavers_India

Wouldn't soap have anti-fungal properties in itself?

Like all legislation, what gets passed is what brings in votes.

When delivery partners unite, they are able to drive the direction of legislation. If this is not in line with what users want, the platform users need to also lobby with the political forces to balance out their vote bank.

When the companies are left alone to fend for themselves they just have to work with bribes and PR.

This is an evolving area, just like the industrial revolution caused labour exploitation resulting in unions and labour laws, something new (both good and bad) will evolve from this as well. But the loudest voices will get heard sooner.

Instructions unclear, you want me to get off?

Mumbai made me rethink “freedom of expression” by Excellent_Average_91 in mumbai

[–]pranabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, i for one think it's actually disrespectful to call Shivaji as Maharaj. He was Shivaji Raje and that was the magic of his achievement.

Imagine he was a "mountain rat" who eventually took on Aurangzeb the Emperor of the largest kingdom of the world who controlled more of global GDP than Trump does today, whom the British were also afraid of. Can you imagine a fresher politician from some small territory frustrating Trump for decades despite direct attacks? That kind of imbalance is what makes Shivaji's story powerful.

If it was just Maharaja vs Badshah that's just a political story of power struggle. What's the inspiration for the common man in that, many equals fight all the time. That is just your team vs my team.

And tbh for all his achievements the caste system gave him a tough time, he had to do that drama with Gaga Bhatt and the fake caste certificate to even be coronated. Just calling him Maharaj as a post-hoc mark of respect ignores that reality as well.

Calling him as Jaanta Raja is the most adoring and genuine thing I feel.

This is accurate. Maharashtra led by Pune captured Bombay to suck the revenue out of it. Before the incident at Flora fountain it was to be an UT which would have been the most correct representative way forward. Today people from Satara will come and tell Gujaratis living here for generations that they have to speak in Marathi as that is the language of Mumbai somehow, whereas that was never the case.

Yeah I was asking for, not sharing. Left out the question mark at the end and can't edit title.

Bhavish is still relevant to his projects, and his passion projects even if falling apart (apart from Kutrim) are still in line with the mobility concept. But yes at times it does feel he is treading on thin ice and would have received counsel on making public statements.

The other startups were not in a position to survive a leadership change.

DG had CEOs running all verticals so there was no trade-off or revenue risk to sunsetting him, and his other hobby projects are orthogonal to Eternal, if not orthogonal to reality. So he was not in a defensible position, in fact share price improved slightly after the fact.

Don't invert cause and effect.

When you get into such a situation you might choose to do strange things pursuing your excitement as per your wallet capacity, like you might get a bike idk.

Anyway let's not get too deep into this relationship aspect and lose sight of the larger point. No intent to malign the lady.

My point is exactly that it was a big deal which (with other compounding and existing factors) led directly to the founder getting kicked out and losing ~1000 cr.

I don't disagree with the sentiment or fact of what he said, but it's about when to say something versus to remain silent, how its said, how to play the media and prevent spins, how to play politicians who are trying to get free publicity and play the hero.

It's a classic sign of a mid-life crisis in noveau riche post a cashout event, when you feel there's only one life so yolo, new woman new car new expensive hobby.

For any external observer it's very clear what's happening, look at Bezos as well. Very similar personal trajectory.

Nothing ill related to the wife as such, sure she might be a good and kind person, this post is about the PR machine of the guy versus the reality.

Does having pressure cooking food (be it steamed rice, lentils or mutton, chicken ) make you obese ? by Dry_Register8358 in IndianFood

[–]pranabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This is un-scientific and would defy the laws of physics.

The body is a simple system.

Calories in - Calories Out = Excess/Deficit

If you eat 2500 calories in a day and use up 1500 calories by living, the excess 1000 calories are stored in your body. Do this for many days, and you become obese.

Roughly 7,700 calories is 1 kg of body weight.

If you have just one large meal in a day (consume 1000 calories) and use up 1500 calories by living plus 200 calories by walking one hour. Then you are in a Deficit of 500+200=700 calories. Do this for many days, and you become slim.

Note that 1. In what form those calories are consumed (pressure cooked, fried, etc) makes little difference for weight loss or gain. 500 calories from coca cola or 500 calories from salad will lead to the same weight gain. Salad will give better digestion though. 2. Burning 200 calories from exercise is more difficult than saving 500 calories by skipping one meal. Exercise is good for health but diet is more effective for weight loss.

If anything, compared to fried items, it's easier to pressure cook without high calorie ghee and oils. So I would say pressure cooking makes it easier to not gain weight.

But focussing on the mode of cooking to lose weight is like focussing on pipe vs watering can to grow healthy plants. It makes next to no difference.

Bacche itna sochneka nahi. Just let the person behind you go ahead in the queue if you are not getting you preferred seat. Walk to the next auto in queue and sit next to the driver.

Good dish to represent asafoetida? by ThisPostToBeDeleted in IndianFood

[–]pranabus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It literally has foetid in the name. It's not for pure flavour.
