Vaccinated! 💉

Took the first jab at a rural community health center on the outskirts of #Gurgaon. instagr.am/p/COexevKsMXy/
Listening to 'Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai...' 🎶
When you're searching for a vaccine appointment, look for options by district (to also include rural centers).

Also, look for nearby towns. I was okay traveling a distance to get it early. In Gurgaon, for example, I searched for Nuh, Faridabad, Palwal, Jhajjar, etc.
That said, I got lucky with a slot.

It is embarrassing that to get a life-saving vaccine one has to do geeky calisthenics online which obviously excludes the majority of population. I hope it gets better.

"मैंने 1984 में हुई भोपाल गैस त्रासदी के दौरान भी फोटो क्लिक किए थे, लेकिन इतना भयावह दृश्य मैंने आज तक नहीं देखा था।"

- Sanjeev Gupta, the photojournalist who took the photo of 40 burning pyres in Bhopal.

Translation:
I've covered the Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984 but haven't seen anything as horrific as what I saw yesterday.
Mindnumbed and mindfucked.

Bharti Airtel has announced a new corporate structure to sharpen focus on digital.

The company will have four distinct verticals - Digital, India, International, and Infrastructure.
Last year, I wrote about Airtel's apparent transition from a connectivity player to focus on digital and enterprise services.

Diversify or die, I had written in @MorningContext.

The new corporate structure underlines the new focus.

Airtel Digital: It will house all of the digital assets like Wynk Music, Airtel X stream, Airtel Ads, Airtel Secure, Airtel Cloud and all future digital products and services.

All the telecom businesses will be housed in a newly created entity, Airtel Limited.

What's your favorite app for mutual funds?

If you've used more than one, why do you prefer one over the other?
Quite a lot of replies!

- Kuvera and Groww are more popular
- Even though Zerodha is very popular for stocks (Kite), not many mentions of Coin, their MF app
- Not one Upstox user while they are in middle of their marketing blitzkrieg.
- No mention of ET Money, the app I use
ET Money was quite early, and I used it on someone's recommendation. I'm a tech guy, not a fin expert.

Good options, and diverse products. I've even bought gold, insurance, etc. from them.

Too many things (even a spends tracker) make for a cluttered UI/UX.

In last six months or so, three of my laptops have conked off.

It's the first time, I struggle to find a spare machine for something secondary or to lend someone.

The last almost-working went to the kid to start his school but looks like it's also on its last leg. Sigh!
It's award because usually I have several devices tugged in my closet, sometimes not used for months. Now, it's a boulevard of broken machines.
And just to add to my misery, last week, this happened too.

Oh, damn! News coming in that Dean Jones has passed away due to a sudden cardiac arrest.

Rest in peace, Dean... thanks for everything on the field, and in the commentator's box.
He was just 59, and damn, was on air last night.
Only last week, he had tweeted this photo from that epic tied test... one of the greatest innings of endurance. Image
