This article gives very good explanation of all that's wrong with Apna. But it's under paywall, I'm afraid.  
  
 Apna now is anyway focusing on white collar folks, but facing difficulties there too. I mean there's mega market leader LinkedIn so very hard to crack.

This is not very uncommon tbh. “Chalo” raised 40 million usd while making close to no revenues & even grapevine itself plans to make no revenues for next few years.

I hope we can store messages, coz they be ded then

Just finished watching "The Big Short" and I must say the movie is perhaps a great recap of what it may have been like during GFC.

#1 Big Short

#3 Inside Job
#4 Too big to fail

Millennial and Gen Z face mood swings due to multiple reasons. 

Generally I do below stuffs...

1. Listen to music or watch fav movies 🍿
2. Read a book 📖
3. Swimming or Gym or a sprint run. 
4. Biking at 20kmph and 80kmph also, both have separate zones.
5. Talk to parents or close friends.
6. Sleep
7. Sunsets or birdwatching

Attaching a snap of sunset from my today's bike trip, covered 130km in 2h. It feels so rejuvenating.

Watching reels/shorts is the last option.

What's your method for refreshment?

What do you do to stabilize amidst mood swing!

Recently, the founder of Apna appeared on Rajshamani's podcast, boasting about his entrepreneurial journey and the success of his startup. However, his portrayal of Apna as a revolutionary product is misleading. 

https://themorningcontext.com/internet/all-is-not-well-at-apna

Here's a brutal takedown of him
https://x.com/ravihanda/status/1730453950485401872

Despite his claims, the company is currently laying off employees, experiencing stagnant revenue growth, and facing significant financial losses. 

The founder, who has spent most of his life in the US, now presents himself as a champion for Bharat (India), but the reality is starkly different from the image he tries to project. 

His attempts to appear as if he has everything figured out contrast sharply with the company's troubling financial situation and operational challenges.

The podcast feels fully paid but is not revealed which is illegal.

I went through a post on grapevine where someone was asking about some weekend movie and lots of folks recommended znmd , I never watched it and watched it for first time today(YJHD is my fav btw) but those 2 hrs and 30 min changed my perspective about lots of things, I know neither my age will come back nor the time that I have today so yeah I am trying to live the moments for making this life memorable and focusing on important things as well simultaneously
 
Dilon Mein Tum Apni Betaabiyan
Leke Chal Rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum

Nazar Mein Khwaabon Ki Bijliyan
Leke Chal Rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum

Hawa Ke Jhokon Ke Jaise
Azaad Rehno Seekho

Tum Ek Dariya Ke Jaise
Lehron Mein Behna Seekho

Har Ek Lamhe Se Tum
Milo Khole Apni Baahein

Har Ek Pal Ek Naya Samaa
Dekhe Yeh Nigaahein

Jo Apni Aankhon Mein Hayraniya
Leke Chal Rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum


Dilon Mein Tum Apni Betaabiyan
Leke Chal Rahe Ho Toh Zinda Ho Tum

Thanks to those who recommended znmd

for me it's:

Taare Zameen Par(2007)
Veer Zaara(2004)
Dasvidaniya (2008)
Dosti (1964)
Udaan (2010)
Kal ho na ho (2003)
Ghajini (2008)
Rang de basanti (2006)
Ranjhanaa(2013)

Best way to start a conversation on a first date?

For me its the below lines from "Saajna by Falak Shabbir" :

"Tu haathon mein toh hai mere,
Fir kyu nahi lakeero me,
Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai
Saajnaaaaa"

Stikes a chord every fuckin time

Oh btw here's my music therapy (songs which feel like a crumbling hug):
