"excellent random meal" is such a cool metric. I wonder if there are versions of this for other aspects of a city.
Eating out culture in Tokyo is not like other cities. Tokyo has 10x the number of restaurants compared to LA so the whole idea of a top 10 or top 50 list is just nonsense. Tokyo breaks the conventional model that there’s some specific place all the way across town worth going to.

In India practicing one's religion usually means involving others to be a part of that practice without their consent.

The fastest way to get the younger generation to be repulsed by religion is to loudly play religious songs till midnight in a housing society for no good reason.

If you trust anything that a guy named "Mr Wonderful" says, you are asking to be deceived.

This is true for most high income schools in India. Strong selection effect being sold as the impact of the school.
@MrZachG I think there’s an epidemic of schools taking credit for what non-school sources (e.g. parents and media) do to educate students.

It is truly world class. My only qualm about it is that it has no guides there to help people engage more with the immense knowledge that is there. It will take it from 95 to 100 for me. The rest of Science City can be much better.
Have you seen world class Aquatic Gallery in Gujarat? 📍Science City, Ahmedabad

“Invisible infrastructure” is what makes visible services actually work. Think of it as the software behind society’s hardware. A school building is visible. But how teachers are hired, how exams are designed, how budgets are tracked — these are all invisible. And they’re what

Warren Buffett once said: "You are only looking for 3 qualities in people (you hire): Enthusiasm, Intelligence, and Integrity." Rare to find all 3. Snag them up.

"What did you do?" A dear friend was only the 3rd person to ever ask how I'd consistently gotten all but a few kids to read proficiently. I'm flying on plane and feel a strong push to share what tools and techniques I used. Turbulence will do that to ya... Here's 15 things

Delhi, in fact, has all that Mamdani promises. Go visit the areas where Rent Control Act is still in play & ask them why their shop/home is in the condition that it is. How many of you go to Kendriya Bhandar or go to cooperative stores to buy gadgets? Indian journos are idiots.
Do we need a Zohran-style affordability campaign in Delhi? Hell ya! The rents in our city have achieved full liberation from logic. The 30k 2BHKs of 2012 are at 80k today. Those Defence Colony dream houses that were at 80k are now upwards of 1.5 lakh. You pay this premium to

What would it take for someone to start a football academy in India with the sole aim of getting kids into the English Premier League? Similar to Texas Sports Academy. No sacrificing academics for sports. @arpangup You can do it with 500 students supported by the best coaches,
