Scale economics work so differently. The tech powering Indian companies today are working at a scale beyond what most USA companies can imagine and this is purely population driven. It’s nice to see India and China solving scale problems through tech differently than rest of world. Good for all!

I had no idea that India hosts Pangong Frozen Lake marathon, a 26.2 mile race entirely on a frozen lake. Ooof that must be tough and test of some fitness running on ice and at that altitude in Leh!

Best desi Chinese fried rice was had in this place and I am very happy

Yet another night and yet another bar / restaurant / brewery and this one we had to talk like couple of mins inside the restaurant to get to table. Huge! Loving it so far.

And just a couple of days before I leave fam members fall sick. Well fuck!

People in India are incapable of having a complete 60 second conversation without a phone call interrupting them. It’s a menace.

  • Even the kids acted utterly clueless as if they had lost all direction in life and their schedules had gone completely awry. While I am laughing at this, I am truly concerned by this nanny culture that is pervasive out here. Note that I am not against them at all, but it just feels like kids just don’t bond with their parents at all 😒

The nanny was on a break yesterday and omg I think my bro and sister in law need a few days of recuperation from having to manage their own kids for a day without their nanny. 😂 #uppermiddleclassproblems

Last couple of days here before heading back. Which means more shopping! I swear I haven’t sent foot in malls in an entire year as much as I have here (well what else is there to do?). While they are fun you can only do so many malls. It’s like the entire city is bereft of anything else except malls.

Summer is advancing very fast it feels like. It feels noticeably warmer than just last week. On the plus side mangoes are already showing up so can’t wait to dig into few! Indian mangoes are the best but they are so expensive in USA we make do with Mexican ones which are also very good but not quite at the same level.
