Not him please. Even otherwise I feel not wise to follow a single guru if your interests are more academic otherwise it generally leads to a more cultish experience. There is no single canonical way to 'enlightenment' here, each o

Having been very much from the modernist camp, a few years ago I read some Norse mythology followed by some Greek. Whatever I knew of Indian mythology was mostly through festivals, stories told by elders during childhood and some children&#

Redis can do far more than just caching. However for your specific use case, considering a typical MVC web app with RDBMS data storage, you would add a check at the beginning of your Model method to return cached data if it exists, else go

Nobody here seems to have heard of Rebel Foods from India, which is (as per its own claim) the largest cloud kitchen company in the world. They now have their own 'brands' across multiple cuisines, leveraging the delivery services

This was the case earlier but not so for a while. Current use of gold is mainly for jewellery, especially in weddings. This is a typical bride in South India - https://www.bookeventz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads&#x2

I completely agree with your POV. Hoping corruption will go away is a fool's game indeed. Just trying to highlight that compared to US system of 2 party rule, India is a true multi party system since the 90s (from a faux one earlier wh

There is also a clear change in the sales pitch. 4 years ago the pitch was about "investing". Now its about "end use". Clear sign of ending of investor fueled bubble.

Its not quite out in the open yet, but it is happening when you sit on the table and negotiate. A prime builder in the most prime location (BKC) is offering nearly 30% off on initial quote after a few rounds. There is humongous over supply

The government at federal level is still a very "noisy" affair. The ruling coalition though enjoying significant majority in lower house is far from simple majority in the upper house which holds elections once in 6 years. You onl

Not good. I've been tracking the prices in Mumbai which has the most expensive market with the least supply in India and prices have not moved since 2014. There is potential for drastic fall as per the unsold inventory which may take o

Not surprising to see such an article in Guardian, known for its left of center leanings. Most of the billionaires in India have public listed companies, and have multiplied their wealth with the resultant growth in the stock markets, hence

Oh OK. My setup is dual boot but I've never had patience enough to spend enough time to test on Win. Just crappy hardware/drivers from Realtek then!

I use a TP-Link TL-WN823N. Did not require any 3rd party driver installs, just plug and play.

Yeah that's what I wanted too but unfortunately the supplier for my company did not have one.

That's not the case always. My first cheap thinkpad worked great, but the 2nd expensive one (T440p) has bad driver support for Wifi (on current and last Ubuntu LTS). Connections are unstable and throughput is ~0.3x of the dongle I use

Nope. Flipkart's entire setup is in Netmagic's (An NTT Communications company) datacenters as per my knowledge.

This is great news. I work at a major ecommerce player in India and we use AWS extensively, mostly from Singapore region. There have been internal discussions multiple times to move to a provider within India to prevent downtimes in case of

Most of the points you have made here are grossly incorrect. Here is the reality : Flipkart is a local company No its not. The VC money invested in it is counted as FDI, and even its holding company is based out of Singapore. So it does n

Yes, but this mainly holds true at the lower end of the pricing, starting from as low as INR 899 going upto a few thousand per day. He has managed to get such rates by aggregating a good number of guest houses which cost much less, which ar

What he has done, is standardize the experience in a hotel based on which category it fits (standard, premium, deluxe) and ensure you'll get a certain minimum standard of experience on your stay in any "OYO Room" across India

I discovered this link a few weeks ago while writing an internal 'howto' wiki to help our developers move to git from svn and linked to it right away. Really well written and constructed article.
