He tried selling Chinese made maal in India and was told to f off. He's ok with that. He is getting highQ Indian talent to work for him and that's enough for now. I don't think he really cares about India as a mfg hub or as a market right now. Shrewd Gadkari is not overawed by Tesla's tech either. So let's see...

People are understanding what the AIs (or more accurately the trainers of these AIs) are up to. My prediction is that Twitter will be a vastly different company/platform than what it is today in a year or maybe two. What is the USP of Twitter for aam aadmi?
1. Whatsapp - A cheap way of communicating
2. Facebook - Keep in touch with friends and family
3. Instagram - Insta gratification
4. YouTube - Entertainment
5. Google - Search
6. Amazon - Ease of finding merchandise
7. Linked-In - Profesional networking
8. Twitter - political activism (who wants it other than the extreme left and the extreme right?)
What is Twitter's reach into Indian public, especially the non-English speaking folks who are the majority and will remain to be a majority? I am not saying that we discount Twitter completely but in Indian context they have far less power to sway voters' opinions one way or the other.
It is very different in the US. But then that is changing too. The most important vote bank, the 18-30 age group, cares nothing for Twitter. All of them are on Amzon Prime, Netflix, or some entertainment channels plus Instagram.

My take on the entire BEV is that unless new chemistry is come up with cheap abundant materials, And China controls rare earth, I think BEV will be another fad.
India investing in Green hydrogen is the way to go even with 30-minute recharge, my gut says Hydrogen is the better option.

There are hundreds. like this in Rajasthan. Nobody can touch as these destroyed temples are property of Puratava Vibhag. You do not have to try to find them. Stop near any descent size village and you will find one. Sad to see these khandit Mandirs with Shiva-Linga and statues of deities lying upside on the ground. I see strange silent faces of visitors who show no emotions. This part is completely ignored by authorities,tourism, departments or . We do not have a simple database.

bet the same moron authored both the tweets and the articles
an unrestrained and continuous liquid diet of the potent local tarra and the frequent inhaling of superior quality, afghan sourced "pharmaceuticals" will do this for sure.
Crystal clear hypocrisy....

Good . I suggest you start contacting with "Shubh Yatra" vlog guy. He has covered few sites in his travel vlogs. Hope a summer project can be organised for students. Or just use the media and bring volunteers together. Information gathering method has to be standardised like GPS,Arial view, local stories and researched material, Details about statues
up to you/ God bless you. I am in Brusselabad. I have time. I do not use Facebook or such platforms. Let me know if I there is some thing can be done.

Sir, i would like to suggest you upload a few photos and put the request on Instagram and Twitter, creating hashtags and the like. Tag a few young travel bloggers and location experts/guides. You will get good traction there. Might become a small movement of its own...
I have seen some examples like 'Reclaim our Temples/ Save Lost Temples' growing
Will help build the database

@rsingh ji, @manishji - I dont use fb or insta.. I work in data collection/data storage space (since 10 years now).
would it be possible to connect with you guys so I can get some help? I ll set up the standardized collection framework and maybe you can help getting folks to input the data?
let me know if you folks are online sometime this weekend to share contacts.. I really want to get this done.. I one discussed with J Sai deepak on linkedin on this project ( a few years ago) and he wanted to get in as well but it feel through due to other committments.
this will give him fuel to show case all "live" and "damaged" temples to work towards freeing temples from the govt control

Bharatp ji, I am a casual user (observer would be more accurate) of Twitter. My suggestion was that you are more likely to get the kind of support and resources you want on those platforms.

Bharatp Ji:
Great idea. This is long overdue. May I also suggest confirming Shri Sitaram Ji Goel's list in his two books - Hindu Temples and What Happened to Them? He mentions most of the bigger temples that are well known to have been converted to mosques.
I think alongside the project of abandoned temples, perhaps the fate of the well-known temples that are now mosques should be highlighted once again in the public's consciousness. The time is right.
The two books are easily available on the web.

Basically if you need to survive int he company, you have to become a COMMIE scum. They work only 4 hours a week. Lot of them take off for mental issues. Only mental guys work there I guess.
According to Parag 20% accounts are fake. Most are fake and they are conning investors and having a free ride.
Justice Dept has to investigate and see if they are breaking laws. If so, need to charged. Won't happen under Democrats.

Elon Musk's epic reaction to Twitter claiming that the number of real unique humans that you see making comments on a daily base is above 95%.
@elonmusk
why not give the account number of the beneficiary directly and why is the money being "routed" through the account phone of an intermediary
even world vision has taken to putting out similar appeals in newspaper ads.
Check yesterday's and today's toilet paper
BTW, all medical expenses will be likely be borne by the govt/army medical scheme for retired personnel but hospitals will not source the kidney unless some brain dead donor's kin or the patient's own relatives are willing to donate the organ.
In many hospitals, an account is usually opened by the hospital in the name of the patient and money is sent to only that account and all accruals are used only for that specific patient's treatment.
purchase of a kidney is illegal and has ethical aspects attached to it and as usual, middlemen take a huge bite out of the transaction, often to the extent of 60-70%

I’m impressed, baki is spelled with a diacritical mark denoting its pronunciation as the correct baqi.
Twitter has agreed to pay $150 million in fines after the US government sued the social media company on Wednesday, alleging that it misled consumers about how it protects their personal data.
Maybe I am reading too much into it...maybe this is a warning shot from current establishment to new ownership?

The local storage requirements in India’s proposed Personal Data Protection Bill could make it “difficult” for Facebook’s parent Meta to provide its services in the country, a top executive said.
There's a real toxic anti-Indian, anti-Hindu lunatic, CJ Werleman, spewing venomous messages on Twitter. Is it worth responding to him, or would that merely feed his appetite for more? And encourage others, as well as Twitter itself? It's really awful.

Thank you. I suspected as much. The messages are so one sided and rabid against one group and in favour of another, trying to take them apart would be fruitless and time wasting. And give him publicity, and probably some perverse joy.
