Been in Gujarat since June, maybe the warmest people I've come across. Unknown shopkeepers have literally smiled and said- kabhi aur when my UPI failed. No auto or cab driver has charged me extra.
Compared to that remember my time in TN, when everyday was a struggle.
This balancing act does not fly. Gujarat is no more Gandhi ka desh, Gujaratis have chosen their path and are vocal about it. Just watch the comments below .

This is Sanjeev Sanyal, Economic Advisor of the PMO. I was quite shocked and aghast to see the kind of tirade of condescension he has passed on to portray Bengal's society at large. The implied sense here is the society is steeped in debauchery and alcoholism.

Ofc, producing unicorns and creating jobs is a pathetic metric to go by. IITs have dailed to produce unemployable BA pass journalists, hence their prestige has been declining.
The Indian Institute of Tantra-mantralogy has a dress-code for convocation. And now one wonders why IITs are declining in prestige.

Satyajit Ray's works "showcasing poverty" i.e. the Apu Trilogy were based a novel. They were stories of resilience, people caught in changing times.
Agnihotri's work for all its purpose lacks nuance, is a caricature sans depth.
This class deserves Farah Khan as a director.
I wonder why such questions are asked only about Vivek Agnihotri
Satyajit Ray made so much money and fame by selling images of India's poverty to the world
Did anyone ever ask what he did with all that money?

Stayed out from this issue so far because most of the commentary seems just to farm engagement.
Baffled how no one is even for a moment considering it could be a case of a TOXIC WORKPLACE? An IIMC grad would know how to handle crushing workload. Toxicity no one prepares for.
A McKinsey analyst ends his life coz of extreme work pressure. Consulting is tough. Within the first few years, the employer as well as yourself, both figure out if you are suitable for it or not. And you get squeezed out. But even such people, end up having outstanding careers…

If Canada backfires, it will be disastrous. It was always the perfect trash can.
Canada has been the destination for degree tourists sub-par even by US degree mill standards. It selflessly absorbed the classless jokers creating reels while driving Ubers and trucks.
I personally know at least 5 people who want to settle in Canada and get a PR. If Canada fires back the same ballistic missile, it would be disastrous for a lot of Indians.

After a point every job is a sales job.
Back when I was doing consulting, I spent bulk of my time doing sales- first selling my solution/recommendation/approach to internal stakeholders and then eventually to the client.
Ingenuity, beauty of solns didn't matter half as much
Sales get a bad rap.
But it's the most important skill you can develop.
Unlike being a star basketball player, sales can be learned by anyone.
Some people are born with more sales talent. But anyone can become world-class through learning and practice.
So, what is sales?

Read the second line clown. It wasn’t even a stop. Out of the vast state of TN and its 100s of bus stops you had to throw a hissy fit over a literal non-bus stop. Next time learn Tamil and come then if you don’t want to experience even a slight discomfort out of comfort zone.
