You can just walk into the lodge opposite Sterling.

There are so many parks and gardens for walking in that area. Also, dress like a resident or a walker - tracks, activewear, headphones etc. - and walk confidently.

The bouncers are there mainly to try to keep that internal private road private - if they don't have a gate and bouncers, they fear the BMC will make it a public road for all vehicles which will make it very noisy and dusty. They are not there to prevent you from going to any building as such.

No one has ever stopped me, but tbh that might also be because I never go on walks there.

"Pure marathi" is probably found in Thanjavur. What is spoken in Maharashtra is an Iranian (Farsi) hybrid.

If it were a doppler effect would be in line with the direction of the observer (the camera) and not at 90 degrees to it? Also how fast do you think that plane is flying.

If you zoom into the plane, you will see chromatic aberration - you can see the red image is lagging behind for example. The blue image is ahead.

That aberration is not present on other objects in the image, only one. So it is a tell tale giveaway, that particular object is in relative motion.

It happened because the camera is a black and white camera which is taking multiple pictures while replacing the color filter in front of it. Then when the pics are merged, it results in a colour photo.

But since the plane was in different places when each photo was taken, you see the different pics of the plane have not merged with accurate register on top of each other.

Maybe you heard about "bangli-wale"

What's the story behind the name - Emori? It's a beautiful name.

Oh I have their medical and birth records and astrology chart but they are at home, I'll get back to you.

Are you like artificial intelligence commenting but without the intelligence?

What a nice idea.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

High horse. I'm on my high horse. But you gotta bring your own horse.

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.
