20 years of Narendra Modi “The Leader” - 7 Badass skills you can learn from him (a thread)
1.History only remembers decisive people: Pakistan attacked us. Let’s respond. UP elections are ahead let’s still go for demonetisation. Let’s start GST. Abolish 370. Many things will work. Many won’t. Take a decision because there is no such thing as a perfect decision.
2. Be a disruptionist: Commonplace is okay. Following the rules is nice. But only those who are not afraid to shake things up a little are the ones who can change the world. All change makers are disruptionists.
3. Dress well: Every one is a salesman. Someone’s selling a product, someone a service and most others are selling their skills. No one wants to buy from a shabbily dressed salesman. Power dressing goes a long way.
4. Wear your culture and identity on your sleeve: Modernity in no way means abandoning your culture. Your humble beginnings give you the first hand access to real people. Make culture your shield and identify your sword and see yourself becoming invincible
5. Speak and the world will listen: You may not have the best voice texture or a polished accent. You may not be fluent in a certain language. But if you speak with conviction and confidence, the world will listen.
6. When you’re attacking, attack, don’t hold back: let’s face it, it’s a tough world. Life is a constant battle and those who hold back while attacking are slain. So don’t think what the world will say or write about you. Just go for the jugular.
7. Don’t waste time in justifying: Even ice cream sellers can’t make everyone happy. Justifying is not clarification, it’s validation seeking at its worst. Justifying your work is like stealing precious time from yourself.

As Congress won a landslide victory in Karnataka, this face came to my mind. This is the face of Prashanth Poojary. No one remembers him now.

Sharing some articles from Siddaramaiah era:
Terrorists may not have a religion but jail inmates apparently do.
The hype is less about #Shahrukh and more about Yashraj - A thread about #Pathaan
Yashraj is the biggest production house in the country and it has been delivering flops after flops.
Here is a list of last 5 YRF movies. Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Bunty Aur Babli 2, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Samrat Prithviraj and Shamshera. Before that it was Zero, Fan, and Thugs of Hindostan.
CAT, Bihar and Punjab - The series that uncovers the reality of India’s “happiest”state. - A thread.
I am a Bihari, not the I-was-only-born-there-Bihari. I am a Pakka Bihari. I was born in Jahanabad, brought up in Patna and did my schooling from Patna. Most of my friends are from Bihar. Half of my family lives there and I visit Bihar at least 4 times a year.
My siblings, cousins and I did our schooling from Patna in the 90s, often dubbed as the Jungle Raj time. It definitely was. We knew about the extortion industry. We knew about the “rangadari” culture. We didn’t smoke or drink or did drugs, most Bihari kids of my age didn’t.
My Tweet thread response to this 2-bit opinion piece on CBC.
This article has been written by one Sarbmeet Singh and an Akshay Kulkarni, both of them Indian immigrants to Canada. But I won’t go for an ad-hominem attack, I would let facts do the talking.
The article suggests that Indian Students migrate to Canada because of 2 reasons:
1.Unstable Political Environment in India
2.Lack of Job opportunities
One Karan Singh has migrated to Canada because he fears for personal safety in Haryana.
That’s all that the article has to say, so Atha #AtulUvaach:
Indian students have been migrating overseas for education and employment since last many decades. Canada is a relatively new phenomena.
This is the story of a man who joined a corporation to edit the CEO’s statements for press and went on to become someone who would walk right next to the boss.
This is the story of grit, determination, well timed career switches, and showing your true worth to your current and previous organizations. If you are suffering at the lowest rungs of the corporate ladder. Read on.
So, he was hired to edit the Boss’ speech. He was a communication specialist that a talent scout had brought to the organization. The Boss was well known for unorthodox speeches and used to deliver too many of them.
