lokallobaat Kind people of Gurgaon, reccos for a good yoga studio in your city?
@lokallobaat Gurgaon has kind people?! And it’s a city?! And there’s a thing called a yoga studio?!
Too many surprises in that tweet.

@amitangshu Which part?
On my way to @decathlonsport. Can someone intercept me before I enter the store and hand me a pair of blinders?
@ankurb Not just them, but most use web views. But it isn’t the same website.
Data on mobiles leading e-commerce doesn’t really explain decision to go app-only. Like a road mostly used by cars shouldn’t turn car-only.
@zainabbawa Sigh. Wish I could.

@PinguicVerse I understood your requirements. BHK was sort of funny. :p @atti_cus
@atti_cus @PinguicVerse Add architects to that list. AFAIK.
@atti_cus @PinguicVerse I also know it’s kinda stupid for a mere mortal like me talking about laws to you guys.
@atti_cus I get you. Was just commenting. @PinguicVerse
@atti_cus @PinguicVerse Illegal that. There is a limit to how much area of a residential property you can use as your personal property.
@PinguicVerse “BHK” for commercial use?! :p

In a first, the #DTC checking squad has intercepted a bus taking a shortcut and the driver is being fined.
@nigelbabu Lemme know when you’re doing that.
beep The web’s “performance problem” is closely linked to a profitability problem.
@anexasajoop It is so hot in Delhi, that the definition of fun (in food) has boiled down to Chuskis and Kulfis. @PinguicVerse
Yay! “@nigelbabu: Toughest run ever, but such an adrenaline high instagram.com/p/3DEigXGEys/”
@PinguicVerse I have already taken more than 4 litres of water today. It was so hot and dry.
Finished last in an organised run today. #achievementunlocked
@SirLoondry Where is this?
Whereas I clean the inside. #fatmansays

So happy that I could convince a restless guy at the bus stop that the last #DTC is yet to come. And I was right.
keeperofthekeys Anybody up for a travelling book club? (Er, the book(s) travel, not the group…)
@PinguicVerse They find running more enjoyable. #justsaying
@_achalv Wow! Have fun!
@sowmyarao_ @PinguicVerse Blaming the wrong institution here.

So this is the actual reason for NH8 choke block. Doesn’t make it less idiotic. m.indiatimes.com/news/india/the…
@ankitarora121 @dtptraffic Apparently due to this: twitter.com/dtptraffic/sta…
As #DTC tried to exit from another way, @dtptraffic again redirected it. I’ve seen this earlier as well. Allow private cars, redirect buses.
Of course no one knew about this diversion and bought tickets on the #DTC. And as you’d expect, heated exchange of words to get money back.
So this. What bullshit! “@dtptraffic:
गुडगाँव पुलिस गुडगाँव में अवरोधक लगाकर (barricading) लेन डिसिप्लिन की चेकि… fb.me/1IoZFPdIN”
The main road to exit Dwarka (via Dwarka flyover) has be closed by @dtptraffic. All vehicles are being redirected. Chaos again. :/

@nishankguptha Apps = useless is stretching too far IMHO. The pace at which web evolves is slow by nature — requires too broad a consensus.
@nishankguptha Google’s assessment of mobile friendliness is a very low bar for mobile web ux. Reality is most mobile websites are shitty.
@atti_cus Great men think alike. @PinguicVerse
@PinguicVerse There is nothing unbelievable about you hiding the biscuits.
@PinguicVerse No, not that part.
@PinguicVerse Reading that over and over again. Can’t believe.
@mehulved In this case wasn’t in plain sight. Very few people know the last bus timings so they can’t take chances. #DTC info is very poor.
It’s past 10:30pm.
A crowded #DTC bus arrives.
Calmly watch people scamper in.
Wait 5-7 mins.
Empty AC bus arrives.

@nishankguptha I neither agree that apps are useless, not do I think that mobile friendly sites are norm yet. But yes there’s an “app wave”.
I wonder if there’s any app out there that tells its user — “We also have a great website. Go check it out.”
@bibhasdn They have to. Last I heard, average life of a mobile number in India was 20 days. @jackerhack
@jackerhack But to think of it, everyone uses their own identifiers. Banks, insurance companies… everyone. There’s no universal way.
@bibhasdn @jackerhack I think they are recycled in 90 days.
@jackerhack Pretty much every loyalty program continue to have their own unique identifiers, and link it to mobile numbers. Legacy systems.

@vaibhavkanwal +1 @sshreyas
@sshreyas I won’t deny that people are using apps more and more. But does that mean they’re using the browsers less?
@sshreyas idontwantyourfuckingapp.tumblr.com + incentivising app usage + shitty mobile websites. Are you sure they’re not trying to move people?
First inhaler puff.
nirbheek Anyone who is pro-net-neutrality and supports companies moving to an app-only ecosystem doesn’t understand the purpose of net-neutrality.
@DilliBelle Guess Maslow got it all wrong.
@ray1claw No, not that ways. The argument is that it gives companies more benefit than users. Many users will be unaffected by this move.
@ray1claw Umm, no. It’s better for their business.

@jitendravyas App-only ka faida user se zyada companies ko milta hai.
App-only → “@gonsalves_r: @sshreyas The benefits of this move accrue disproportionately to the producers. Not consumers.”
@sshreyas Browsers already have pretty much everyone on the web. Apps makers + platforms are relentlessly trying to move people over.
@sshreyas People arguing against app-only are not pushing browser-only. It’s about denying users their choice and causing inconvenience.
@PinguicVerse @jimanish Overrating is overrated.
@twitortat When you’re cooking in bulk, it’s a lot easier to fry the veggies that to wait and slow cook. @zainabbawa @jackerhack
@zainabbawa @twitortat @jackerhack Hard for a caterer to get this. Have to literally work with them to figure a menu + do tasting rounds.
.@twitortat @zainabbawa @jackerhack “Healthier options”?! Sigh! Guess I’ll have to carry my own cheese. #fatmansays
@zainabbawa But then that might defeat the purpose of food court. Food court in a conference is a tricky problem. @jackerhack
@zainabbawa If participants know the menu before they could pre-decide what they want before walking into the food court. @jackerhack
@zainabbawa Not just a question number of vendors, but also of number of offerings. @jackerhack
@zainabbawa @jackerhack One concern with food court is that exploring options will eat into networking time.
@zainabbawa @jackerhack Another problem with virtual currency is that you typically can’t get it refunded. It’s painful to have left overs.
@zainabbawa Got the constrains. Virtual currency will be needed only if meals are priced differentially. Will think and share thoughts.
@zainabbawa At @metarefresh, handing over coupon and collecting your plate was a bottleneck. Had resulted in a very long queue. @jackerhack

@PinguicVerse Your bar for good handwriting is being able to touch 4 lines? That’s way too high for me. @jimanish
@zainabbawa One reason why NH7 model works is because ticket does not include food + much bigger scale. @jackerhack
@zainabbawa Ok, let me think. What if a participant wants to try multiple vendors? Do you want to prevent that? @jackerhack
@vrinda_m Blast from the past, hoping this helps: souvikdasgupta.com/blog/2012/legs… (pardon my bad English) @nigelbabu @bhavyakhanna
@zainabbawa Wait, what’s the objective here? To prevent a participant from having multiple meals? Or not exceed a budget? @jackerhack
@jimanish Don’t think I am as bong as @PinguicVerse. Not a fan of sweet, happily eat beef, and go for runs. Total outcast I am. :p
@jackerhack Had a tough time trying to take out the coupon from the plastic + tear it with a drink in my hand at @metarefresh. @zainabbawa
@jackerhack Make the vendor stamp / mark the badges. Others will know who ate where. @zainabbawa @naiquevin
@zainabbawa Can’t you do away with food coupons? Everyone has a badge. @naiquevin @jackerhack
@PinguicVerse Wait a minute. I thought we shared a bad handwriting. Now I feel worse than before.
@vrinda_m Woohoo! 👏
If you keep it up, you get a standing ovation from me in November.

Thought I’d go for a run today morning. Woke up early only to feel too lazy + sleepy, and went back to sleep. Now I repent.
@jimanish Which means, to make a cop cough out money, a ticket checker has to complain to a cop. :p
@jimanish Funny thing is that if a ticketless traveller doesn’t pay the fine, ticket checker has to seek police intervention.
@jimanish Yup yup. Delhi Police cops blatantly abuse the rules and don’t buy ticket. Even ticket checker don’t question them.
@jimanish #DTC can afford to increase prices, which is not to say that current pricing is unsustainable. Wonder if this has been researched.
@jimanish Agree.
@jimanish The Govt. argument is that #DTC should change it’s processes to curb ticketless travel. Shiela refused to increase fare.
@jimanish Nah, disagree. I see no reason for them to take off longer routes. #DTC pricing makes it more accessible.
@jimanish Also, advertising space is under-utilised which is what helps Metro make a lot of money.
@jimanish Agree. But also, huge number of ticketless travellers.
Service quality is so poor that no one would be happy paying more.
@jimanish @manasmohan @PrateekKChadha Thanks!
So the #DTC piles up losses in spite of carrying more people around Delhi than the metro.
Shame. :/
TIL average metro ridership is 23 lakhs and average #DTC ridership is 40 lakhs.
