IPLPlayOffs The IPL broadcast is full of ads of sin products (gambling, paan masala, surrogate ads of liquor brands). And most of our movie and sports stars have no hesitation in endorsing them. There are no values and principles for them. #IPL2O23 #JioCinema
Most often people have a template to judge you and understand you. If you don’t fit the template they get miffed. #lifelessons
While there are hundreds of note taking app but these apps trying to do tons of things do not do the justice to most of the things.

Khan el-Khalili - Cairo
This is surely worth a visit if you plan a Cairo Trip
I played at least for a couple of hours with Chat GPT4. I am now a subscriber to its Chat GPT Plus services and committed USD 23 per month for this. While I had used Chat GPT 4–5 months back but this version is something else. Scary and exciting at the same time. We were looking for research assistants for some work but seeing Chat GPT4 capabilities we do not need them.I tested its capabilities with a number of tasks ranging from writing codes to creating characters for stories and the responses were mind-blowing.
A walk in Aravali Biodiversity Park. And, this is the time for flowering of Palash, Dhak (Butea monosperma)

Really sad that the procedural delays and bureaucracy further starving climate action that is already struggling for resources.

There should be an easy way to consolidate/merge different Mastodon accounts.
Finally found some Palash trees in all their glory. They remind me of my childhood spent in Jharkhand, where these were in abundance. #TreesOfDelhi
Finished reading: The Last Orphan by Gregg Hurwitz 📚
While the mainstream bookshops (the likes of Crosswords, Oxford, Bahrisons) keep ignoring the diversity and range of the books that gets published in Hindi, a visit to the book fair showcases the richness of the Hindi publications. I gathered as many titles as I can carry from the hall to the car. :)
I picked up Victory City by Salman Rushdie and getting closer to reading my first Salman Rushdie novel. His books have been on my reading list forever but never managed to get started and finish one. This time this is going to change. With whatever I have heard of him, he is too good a writer to be missed. #Books
Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) is getting traction. I was invited to speak on how industry and government can work together to promote sustainable lifestyles. While this is great step in the right direction but we need to make sustainability as core of what we do and not a add-on layer.
Rethinking my productivity flow and the first thing I want to explore is a ToDo list app that is cross-platform. The existing one is Things3 and it is limited to iOS. The possible options are ToDoist and TickTick both of which I have used but did not stick to for long. Evernote, Notion, Outlook.. do not give me the ease of quick data entry the way I want..
