I had a really uncomfortable experience in a yoga class yesterday, but it took me a while to figure out why:
The instructor (caucasian) sang in sanskrit while playing the harmonium.
Seeing someone else appreciate and identify with parts of my culture that I felt embarrassed by made me envious.
I played the harmonium competitively from ages 7 to 15. I don't think i've shared that about myself with my friends. Maybe because learning to play and competing weren't choices of mine. I felt forced into it because of the culture I was born into.
Whereas, this instructor followed her curiosity, travelled to india, and became trained in the classical instrument and now shares what she learned on a weekly basis.
It just makes me think about how easy it could be to label something like this as "cultural appropriation" when in reality it stems from envy or dissatisfaction of your own identity.
Irony is in the name.
Without an extreme economic or external or political threat, India won't change. India needs a ruthless leftist rule. Merciless secularism. Mandatory and free modern education. Close down all religious places. Turn those into heritage places for tourists. Kick out all managers of gods. Crack down on the cronies. Hang those charged with corruption.
Then maybe, maybe this backward nation will start moving forward.
The visarjan project has been started for priest king. We all are gonna miss him badly once he is not there.

Our silence was never our weakness. Our adversaries should think twice the next time.
Expect PARAM! Expect us! Expect India!
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Enough of this nonsense!

Mother should train herself with weapon, kill the convict and go to jail for a long time. Thats the only way out
Her 23-yr-old son Sahil killed by speeding Scorpio driven by a minor.
Minor taken before Delhi Juvenile Board, then given bail to take 10th Board Exam.
The Scorpio had 13 challans for overspeeding.
Sahil’s grieving mother @inna_makan joined me live:
We think it is just about "will to do". It is never about will nor do our leaders are blind. Deepinder goyal is getting hammered on SM because he dared to build Jet engine
We would see mass something like BAN and Srilanka if we dare to do so. Politicians fear to loose against DS
🚨Ground report: I spent 3 days as a gig worker for Zomato, Blinkit & Swiggy in Delhi.

This is India's convenience economy. A thread on what I learned @IndianExpress
We will see a large scale agitation if GOI go aggressive on this. Which will result in regime change

My single point agenda in life is to make Bharat a technologically strong and self reliant nation, which I see as critical to our economic prosperity as well as our rural and civilisational revival. Our civilisation has to show the world through living example how to combine prosperity with humility and contentment, and show the sustainable path to harmonize humanity and the natural world.
Our past 1000 year history has left us deep civilisational wounds and the defeatist, colonial mindset is one of them. Being world-class in technology is the key to restoring true pride in ourselves as a nation, and building that technology with rural talent spreads the wealth across society.
We need people to do deep work in R&D. I have some skill in this area and that is the best use of my life for our nation.
I view politics as public service and as a democratic duty in which citizens must be involved but given my overriding priority in life, I cannot be and will not be in active electoral politics.
Bharat Mata ki Jai 🙏
Interesting one
Robot Welding
Today you hire a coded welder and they can weld eg 30-120m / shift.
A robot welder can weld 100-350m / 8 hours, which is 300 - 1,000m / day.
A welding engineer (different to a welder) might be able to supervise eg 5 robots.
A plant running 3 shifts could therefore utilise 3x welding engineers and produce up to 5,000m/day which is equivalent output to 50-160 welders.
This is a 20-50x productivity jump. But it’s not so simple…
The big difference is access. Human welders can crawl into tight spaces and perform all manner of difficult and awkward welds. A robot has very limited mobility and is basically rooted to a plinth with access mostly limited to external facets.
Big difference.
However, in the design phase, during the Design For Manufacture (DfM) phase, a strong design team should be able to plan the weld map and product assembly process such that full robot welding is possible.
This would require completely new products and production lines, but it is possible.
This is how industrial automation will be employed. It will happen at scale, you can’t stop such productivity gains being realised as it’s too competitive.
Crucially, incumbents are disadvantaged as they must continue to depreciate existing production hardware and facilities until they are fully depreciated. If you try to convert to a new technology before your existing production assets are fully depreciated, you destroy a lot of capital and people in the boardroom will usually dissent and cite fiduciary duty.
This creates a window of opportunity for new entrants in the manufacturing sector, and the winners will be those who understand all the nuances and competitive margins of the new tech.
This is also why the DJIA churns over every 50-60 years. Incumbents get caught mid cycle and get locked out of competing.
Good industrial intelligence/surveillance (not espionage) will tell you where your competitors are in their investment cycle.
Same phenomenon means a lot of recent datacenter builds might be vulnerable to mid cycle disruption, if some new chip tech breakthrough emerges.
Industry is filled with strategic nuances like this.

Dumbocracy is almost at the peak, ready for a downhill road now. Change won't be very pleasing but it is what it is.
This is the most disgusting take on this platform off late.
