Before Elon scrapped the “likes” I used to have a list of people (who I thought were smart) and go through their likes everyday to get access to good content.
Now I have to rely on the algorithm ugh
The founder of the previous company I worked for used to yell at everybody in Hindi.
So I told them I didn’t know Hindi cause I’m from Chennai (Tamilian).
So they had to switch to English to yell at me each time and I got yelled at way lesser than other folks because of this.
Any guy with half a brain would know that no court in India grants 70% as alimony as a norm. Watching men who themselves have taken dowry/made their wive's family pay for wedding expenses/forced their wives to quit their job, yap about equality and justice has been intriguing.
I would like to know why Bangalore flat owners need three lakh rupees as deposit. (for 3 BHK)
Do they think we are going to steal their house and take it elsewhere?
Not to be mean but these northies have wrecked the review system of South Indian restaurants.
Everything is rated 4.5+ on Swiggy and Zomato.
They will just eat anything that’s called idli and dosa and give it a 5 I think.
I miss CTR, Janata, Veena 😭😭
If business folks can buy luxury cars and claim exemptions on that, salaried employees should be able to deduct their third wave coffees from taxable income.
Some trolls on my comments have told me that I should find a guy before I’m too old.
Here’s my response:
My future library in my independent house in sadhashivnagar has only one leather chair.
2 leather chairs would ruin the aesthetics.
Thanks for the concern but no thanks.
You all have no idea how hard it is to find a flat in Bangalore + non smoking room mate (I’m allergic to the smell)
I have single handedly increased the life spans of my Ashoka frens because of my allergy.
In my career so far I have given like 4 interviews, and in 3 of them I got asked what’s my biggest weakness.
I gave them a straight answer tbh. I told them my weaknesses without beating around the bush.
Exact opposite of what the career talk person at Ashoka told me to do.
The Big Story | “Where is Kunal Shah?” ask most Cred employees
The founder-CEO's insistence on having a workforce that is largely self-reliant is now impeding the fintech's growth.
@Rounak_T
explains how:
I exchanged Instagrams with this guy today and the first thing I did was to go to his following and see if he follows finance with sharan.
He does not. 🍷
The waiter at Meghana’s just told the cashier that I look British in Kannada.
I want to bang my head in a nearby wall.
Why do I know enough Kannada to understand that?
I have been telling every freshly minted tech grad in Blr: Life's best returns come from unconventional choices. Working at Startups today is a herd mentality. You won't get far within a herd.
Fully agree with shantanu here.
This one influencers feed is hilarious
Makes a reel on “Why I left BCG?”
Mentions reasons such as rat race blah blah
*3 days later*
Makes a reel on “How to get into BCG and top management consulting companies?”
My last 3 crushes have all been Kannadigas. I think there’s a pattern here. My mind, body and soul are geared towards not being overcharged by auto Anna’s and learning Kannada.
I have interviewed 5 of my friends who are taking CAT this year. All of them are going are doing mba to find partners. 😭
30 years later they will goto insideiim and say they went for networking lol.
I would rather be sipping wine and reading books in my independent house in sadhashivanagar (which I will buy with my own money) than be with a guy.
So I’m good.
Every weekend I have to make a decision between going to my Bangalore home and eating home cooked food or going on a date.
So far I have chosen home food on all weekends. 😭😭😂
@swarajk_
Not really. In most cases men were asking for prenups to be legalised or for alimony to be banned.
In a country where women don’t have the autonomy to choose their husbands and are coerced into marriage, prenups are out of question.
Every time someone tells me they didn’t make it to an IIT after years of prep,
I tell them that I failed second, third, fourth, fifth grade consequently (I had dyslexia tho) to make them feel better 😭
My sources tell me that Nikhil has a personal chef who cooks all the amazing food for the podcast.
My new life goal is to be rich enough to poach Nikhil Kamath’s personal chef!
All of you go look at the Kebabs that his chef made for the Kiran Mazhumudar Shaw episode.
Bangalore people will order something during torrential rainfall and then be like thank you delivery Anna for delivering it even though it was raining.
Like dude you ordered!
This kid in my office works remote but knows everything!
I thought I was curious.
But he’s been through every dashboard, every channel 😭😭
Knows things before they happen 🫡
Puts me to shame.
I was talking to this guy recently on the phone.
I was at my wittiest best. In the middle, even I was amazed at myself.
I just stopped the story I was telling him midway and said:
“Damn I’m so witty and funny, I would totally date myself” 😭😭😭
I proudly boasted to my kannadiga crush that I know Kannada!
He sent me a Kannada reel with a trick question.
Now I have to answer that to prove that I know Kannada.
My mother is asking me if I want to go for my mba in 2 years.
I have told her if at all I pursue more education, which is highly unlikely, considering my disdain for formal education, it will be in philosophy at Oxford.
Even then going only for food and Harry Potter castles.
So saw the hinge profile of a guy I used to talk to (He’s in town, again!). He literally copied one of my prompts that he liked from when we matched.
His first born better be named after me.
Just heard the perplexity founder talk about how he felt bad that he didn’t get his preferred branch in IIT.
Like bro it’s ok perplexity is a good product dw.
Omg just realised the two people diagonally opposite me are on a date.
I have never dropped my book so quickly lol.
I shall eavesdrop on their convo and tell you all if they say something interesting.
I’m starting to realize that the stuff I say here actually reaches people and I have to be more mindful lol.
I miss tweeting absolute garbage to my 5 followers.
Starting a business is not the biggest risk you can take, as a South Indian!
In reality the biggest risk you can take is telling your south indian family that you don’t want to do your masters after getting in.
I would pay for a blue tick if I could see other peoples likes
I used to have a bunch of people whose likes I would go through and then read whatever they had liked
It was intellectually stimulating
Also you can learn a lot about a person from their X likes. Now I can’t 😭
So my aunt was on a video call with my mom from MY PHONE!
I have been texted a guy and it was his turn to reply.
For 20 mins I was panicking and praying that the WhatsApp notification doesn’t pop.
I’m not very religious but for those 20 mins I was 😭😭😭😭
In college, we had this class called Internet culture and memes. We were studying AI generated images, and deepfakes before they were a THING!
So every time I look at an AI generated image/video - I CAN TELL!
Actually all of us in that class can tell.
Our prof made sure.
Was watching a Barbershop episode (because Arindam Paul was a guest of course) and I did this interesting exercise.
I counted the number of times, Shantanu said McKinsey during the interview.
If one more North Indian calls me SOBO that’s all.
I’m not South Delhi or South Bombay!
I’m from South India and I give half chennai half Bangalore vibes.
I’m having a sleep over at my besties place after clubbing.
She gave me her stuff toy cause I left pony (my stuff toy at home) which is how I know she’s my best fren
The company I work for introduced reading Thursdays where everyone will read for 3 hours on Thursday.
Now I might have to return the library books that I had no plans of returning cause other people also have to read 🙈
In each of my relatives house there is a Akshita’s corner which has a toothbrush,shampoo, comb etc for when I go there.
They know I don’t pack anything.
Now I just walk in to their houses without having to pack or anything.
My older northie fren just called to tell me she's getting married! ✨
She wants to know the name of the South Indian temple featured in the movie Chennai Express where Shah Rukh Khan carries Deepika Padukone up the stairs.
She wants to get married there😭
I don't think people understand what surrounding yourself with the right people means. It is not about their current job description! It has more to do with their mindset, energy and whether your equation with them is positive.
“Situationships” are a conspiracy by millennials to discredit Genz.
No genz I have met (after Ashoka of course) is okay with situationships or wants to be in one.
Good networking ability is not knowing some fancy entrepreneur or VC!
It comes down to whether you can get the CTR waiter Anna to give you sambar on a crowded day.
I got 2 cups of sambar today.
Today I cracked a “Founder mode” joke while talking to someone.
And they did not get it. 😭😭😭
Had to explain what founder mode was. 🫠
Could have used the joke with someone else. 😭
Jokes don’t hit the same the second time.
