I asked ChatGPT to use this image as the beginning of a novel, without offering any other context. The prompt was "Write a description of this in my style as if it is an intro to a novel". Here's the result:. In the soft confusion of a weekday afternoon, somewhere between the

I 'trained' ChatGPT on roughly 80,000 words of my published columns to creat a custom GPT that would write like me. I then uploaded a photograph and asked it to describe it, as if it were the beginning of a novel. The result is seriously scary.

In the 1980s, the Masters of Governmental Administration realised that their rule was about to end. So, they sent their kids to become Masters of Business Administration. Now, the rule of the MBAs is coming to an end, after a 40-year reign.

Doston, 1:30 minute mein shirt press ho gaya aaj. Rico ka 2 kilo ka haath.
My lightweight iron is a source of massive opportunity cost. A single shirt takes 10 minutes to iron properly. Trousers much more. So I have ordered a 2 kg iron on Amazon. Hope it reduces ironing time, which I can use productively on watching more Instagram reels.

What is worse is that no history textbook talked about the Bhaturas.

Made a successful fake sourdough atta bread with dahi ka paani and vinegar in the dough. Got a perfect glass like crumb. The only downside is that I ate half of it on my own, with generous chunks of butter.

Maturity is when you realise Sachin Tendulkar would still be the greatest even if he had scored only 1,000 runs.
Maturity is when you realise everyone in the list would break Sachin's record if they played the number of matches Sachin has played in his career.

Even if Sachin Tendulkar had played 10 of his best shots and then retired, he would still have been the greatest batsman of the modern era. His records are just incidental.

How does one explain to dunderheads that vegetable vendors earn business income, taxed entirely differently from the way salary income is taxed?. Also, if they were earning as much as you, they would be living in your housing complex and not in some slum.
In 2019, I had calculated that our local roadside vegetable vendor in Delhi’s Vasant Vihar had a daily turnover of ₹22,000-25,000. Out of this, his margin was not even ₹1,500. Turnover tells who nothing about how much a roadside vendor or hawker earns.
