Living in india is like sitting in a rickshaw going over potholes

Is that fun? No
Is that exciting? Yes

Sometimes the rick goes smooth, the wind in your hair feels nice, sometimes driver fights, sometimes not. India's like that. Like the weather.

Fun, often.
Exciting, always.

Bangalore folks,
I want to host a workshop.

Where can I book a meeting room/classroom with a projector and 10-15 seats?

Prefer Indiranagar / Mg road area

anyone know when pune city goes to vote?

no definitive date online-- rumours say may 13

Switched from chatgpt to gemini for my book editing help.
She's good! She went cuckoo on me in between (i told her to be a great editor and she went bonkers and started acting like the author).
But i fixed it and now she's back to giving me great critiques on each para :)

I have finally taken control of my book! I'd advice authors to self-publish on amazon. Here is what I lost due to publishing through an agent
1) All Reviews
2) Lost lots of sales ($3/ book)
4) Old links don't work no more
New link! amazon.com/dp/B0CW1BLLXX/

When you get to very expensive perfumes (>$300) you’re looking at strong base notes.
So You start smelling like a mandir.
😀
Hence I stick to the $150-$250 range (not like Chanel but like Sisley)

When quiz clubs turn into bro clubs, Bay Area Quiz Club stands out as truly a fun and friendly quiz club. Boat Club Quiz Club was do-able for me thanks to Ramanand & bvhk encouragement
MQC and KQC though have nice people at indiv level, are bro clubs.
I've left quizzing permanently.

Hard to use chatGPT for writing a book. It's good for AFTER having written it.

Even then when i ask it 'Critique this para' it goes Indian on me and says 'haan accha hi to hai' and I'm like no no critique it, find the gaps. :)

The #NationalCreatorsAward awards are so aspirational! Watching the whole ceremony on YT. Hope to get it for best creator for the NRI category sometime in life :D

MICROSOFT BEAT ALL MY RECORDS. 1000 people joined my talk today. Wow! Met some amazingly sweet folks. And what a campus!

I've delisted my book from amazon as it was published through a 3rd party.
