a copy of my facebook feed, circa July 2026.

Me: (crawling down I-280)

Google Navigation Woman: There is a speed camera ahead.

Me: तो बेहेनजी क्या करूँ मैं? Should I pull over and share a donut with this hopeless cop who is trying to catch speeders in rush hour Bay Area traffic? निकाल क्यों नहीं देते उसे नौकरी से?

Someone deep inside the Googleplex: I hear you brother. I hear you.

When engineers get entangled with the law, positive outcomes often ensue.

Engineers also gave the world the GPL and the CC.
Oops

I showed up at a #Halloween party without a #costume, so I pulled yesterday's stunt again.

How normal people approach the presence of an Amazon Echo in a bathroom: "Oh, the house owners listen to music while showering. Good call 👍🏽"

How I approach the situation: "That thing's going to listen to the sounds I make on the pot, then run Hadoop jobs on them. My bodily noises need privacy."

When you come to SF for a meeting but decide to stay back and party rather than brave 6pm traffic...

Flip your thermal jacket over, zip it all the way up to hide your collar, let your hair loose, and hopefully blend in/stand out.

There's only one word to describe the #EDM scene in #SF. Lame. People will head bang to anything here.

Is the government realising how scary and demoralising this is for depositors? Money will flow out of the banking system. I don't know where it can go, though.

It's one of those dilemmas. Cars are bad and we want more public transport. But when the automotive industry tanks, we worry.

Similarly, government bailouts of corporate loans are bad and we don't want them. But when corporates sink and take retail depositor money and working class jobs, that makes us worry too.

What we do want is for the government to do a much better job of oversight and regulation. But every government has the previous government to blame for lack of governance. Long live पंच वर्षीय democracy.

The #sealion is my spirit animal. It loves basking in the sun - lying around on its back all day, scratching its body, emitting loud grunting sounds for no reason, and swatting at anyone who comes close.

When the guy who drove an electric car to work for five years, shows up in a truck.

He said it's the range anxiety that did him in.

Nice #truck, though. Great for #camping.

Goals! I remember @[586645405:2048:Pallavi] going around The School campus in 2002, burying artefacts in the ground for kids to dig up. God's work, giving a child purpose, imagination, a sense of wonder.

Happy #indigenous people's day, my American friends.

Hope you'll take the time today to know more about the culture, traditions and history of the great indigenous people of the Americas.

Also as good a day as any other to celebrate #immigration, which brought you or your ancestors to America.

Reel them in with cute pics of your kids.

Engage them with mesmerising travel pics.

Then feed them the truth about society, economics and politics.

¡Viva la revolución!

Please do attend the event. Nilay had a wonderful time in the last workshop. @[1018426225:2048:Meenakshi] is a great teacher. And the lampshade Nilay made looks beautiful in our house.

I think Delhi is the first state that is implementing a Good Samaritan law so meticulously. Kudos.

I'm glad they've done away with the cash compensation and are giving certificates now.
