I don't know what it is about Indians and their complete aloofness to #Privacy & #DataSecurity. 5 years back I used to get 1 spam call a day. Today I get 15-20. I have been asked to download @truecaller by 1 in 2 people that I know and could not stop laughing. Most folks (1/n)

(2/n) don't even know how #cookies & #consentmanagement works. Let's clarify a few things about Truecaller.
1) It's a firm registered in #Stockholm started by Nami Zarringhalam and Alan Mamedi. Mamedi is a Kurdish born in a refugee camp in northern Sweden, while Zarringhalam..

(7/n) from the dead. Anyway, to cut the long story short, the Indian government does give a rats ass about your #DataSecurity and #Privacy. Least of of they care about #MSME sector. So you've gotta do stuff at your end and here are 4 things you've got to tie in together .....

Since the capital of India moved from #Calcutta (Kolkata) to #Delhi, for some reason the hatred for Mukherjees became evident. I can guess why #RajaJoykrishna was wiped out, but why his younger cousin #SirAshutoshMukherjee? If you are a student of #Mathematics, have u ever (1/n)

It was initially young working population leaving #Kolkata, now it's the elderly. My in laws, like many, had it enough in #Kolkata after spending their entire lifetime left the city after ~ 74 yrs. Like many, they can't relate to the city & it's culture anymore. Couple of (1/n)

(2/n) developments in the past few years.
1) Security- My FIL was the President of one of the oldest Durga Puja Committee in Central Kolkata. He is well revered & well connected. Despite his local reputation, there was an attempted break in. Something unheard of in his hood.
