Anti-Indian racism is pretty much normalized in Texas and spreading to others parts of America: youtu.be/DhSaVVrPGyQ?is=3tTzr6Vk3fH…

Back home and thinking, I’ve flown to Delhi more than any other airport in the world, apart from my home airports in Washington DC.

Really impressed with the speed and ease of getting enrolled in the TTP system for e-gate entry and exit into India. 15 minute form and approval in 2 days. Should’ve done it earlier, would’ve saved limited passport pages from 12 entry/exit stamps.

No matter how many times you travel to Delhi and this is my third trip in two months, some things feel familiar… like the vomit orange carpet in the international arrivals.

Hotels, restaurants, rideshares. Is everything ridiculously expensive and hard to get in Boston? Used to come here often but haven’t been here in a couple of years.

"On Saturday, leaders of four of the biggest AI companies—Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis and Elon Musk—each agreed that they needed to slow development of the technology. " BS. Saying AI is dangerous doesn't absolve companies from their responsibilities. They should be directly liable […]

Had a restful weekend. In a little over a week: Boston for a panel discussion on the future of dentistry, then Delhi (again!) for a conference on microbial systems. Then DC, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo… back to Delhi and Bangalore in December, including talks at conferences at IITD and IISc […]

So so mad. One of the worst Ohio State losses in history; how do you give up 22 points in a quarter and miss a field goal to lose a game n which you played better for three quarters, would never happen under Tressel or Meyer.

What I had time for in my twenties and forties, I don’t have time for now. Some of this is on purpose and some of this is unfortunate. We are all different people at different ages.

The school you attend doesn’t matter once you’re in college. The college doesn’t matter once you get your first job. The job doesn’t matter once you retire. Your grades and salary don’t matter to anyone except for you. The things that seem to matter today will not matter in a decade. The things […]

I don’t care what ai model you use and how you train it, people who have seen enough ai responses and human responses can spot the difference immediately. The only people who think they can’t are new to ai. And it’s not just the language … it’s the structure

Mid-level managers and directors: Do not send lengthy AI-generated analyses and email responses to executives. Send one or two line authentic opinions, even if they’re bad takes with typos. No one hired you to be a copy-paster of biz queries and AI responses. You will lose your credibility if […]

The racist Trump administration is looking to deport brown and black immigrants. They will reopen cases to cruelly separate families and send innocent people away. And I guess at least half of this country is fine with that. youtu.be/YPUja25ErkY?is=BpnaCGRJUN7…

The blue mosque in Istanbul, also known as Sultanahmet Mosque is a masterpiece of proportion and light and one of the most impressive buildings I’ve been inside in my life; even entering a second time after eight years my breath was taken away!

Istanbul is such a beautiful city with such stylish people. Yet so many have a white stick in their mouths and two in their ears. And the air quality isn’t good from all the gas guzzlers. Such a shame!

Macka/Besiktas is my favorite part of Istanbul. Leafy streets, cafes and restaurants, lively without the tourists, and the Bosphorus down the hill. You can look across the water to Asia, with mosques, hills and neighborhoods in the distance. And yes the club and stadium!

The first meal in Istanbul, and it had to be İskender from the place that has only one thing on the menu and has been making this masterpiece since 1867. Thinly sliced lamb over pide, topped with melted butter and accompanied by Turkish yoghurt. 👌🏽
