YOUR WOMAN WILL ALWAYS PUNISH YOU FOR LOVING HER TOO MUCH.

(Read this carefully, Because most men don't see it coming)

Thread 🪡 Image
1. You start putting her above yourself

You drop your goals, your focus, your standards.

She stops seeing a man with direction... and starts seeing someone dependent.
2. You become too available

Always replying fast. Always saying yes. Always there.

What's always available becomes predictable and predictable kills excitement.

Zack Polanski and his partner called their narrowboat their “amazing home” for three years. He registered to vote there.

If it was his main residence, council tax was due. None was paid.

His team says he stayed there only “occasionally” - if true, there's a very big problem. Image
The Times reported last week that the Green Party leader and his partner “appear in recent years to have stayed on a narrowboat at a marina”. Image
They recently advertised the narrowboat, which was berthed at the Lee Valley Marina. The advertisement said it had been their “amazing home” for three years: Image

1/ The Russian ultranationalist community has exploded into a fit of apoplectic rage over Volodymr Zelenskyy's decree 'permitting' Russia to hold its Victory Day parade. They condemn it as a humiliation for Russia and call for maximum retaliation. ⬇️
2/ Russian Telegram channels have had a meltdown over Zelenskyy's decree declaring Red Square to be off-limits for attacks on 9th May in order "to permit the holding of a parade in the city of Moscow (Russian Federation)." Many helpfully translate it for their readers.
3/ 'DSHRG Rusych' grumbles: "Is this denazification or demilitarisation? (We can't figure it out)."

'Novorossiya militia reports' is furious: "Is this what the Russian government was aiming for?"

In Indian families, you might have noticed that during weddings, births, or big festivals, your parents or grandparents insist on visiting a specific old temple in their native village. They say, "Ye hamare Kuldevi hain" or "Ye hamari Kul-Devta hain."

A Thread 🧵

But what exactly is a Kuldevi or Kuldevta, and why do they hold such a massive place in our lives? It’s much more than just a tradition; it’s about your family's spiritual DNA.
1. What is a Kul-Devata?

The word "Kul" means lineage or family, and "Devata" means deity. So, a Kul-Devata (or Kuldevi for a goddess) is the specific guardian deity of your entire clan.

Think of it like this: If the Universe is a giant organization, the Kuldevi is like your family’s dedicated protector. While we pray to many gods like Ganesha, Shiva, or Vishnu, the Kul-Devata is the one who has been watching over your specific ancestors for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years.
2. The Spiritual "Bodyguard" of the Family

In ancient Indian wisdom, it is believed that every family carries a certain energy. Over generations, families face ups and downs, health issues, and struggles. The Kul-Devata acts as a shield for the family.
• Protection: They are believed to protect the family from "Bad Nazar" and major obstacles.

• Identity: Your Kul-Devata tells you where your ancestors came from. Often, the temple is located in the original village where your great-great-grandparents once lived.

• Blessings for the Future: This is why, when a new baby is born or a new bride enters the house, the first thing a family does is take them to the Kuldevi temple to "register" their presence and seek blessings.

“In businesses of trust, it’s winner take all.”
This idea sits at the core of Urban Company’s strategy.

At CMP: 125
Market Cap of 20,000 cr,

It hints at something the market may still be underestimating:

Urban Company is no longer a typical services marketplace.
It’s starting to behave more like a density-driven network.Image
Once density crosses a threshold, unit economics improve across the board: faster service, higher reliability, better efficiency.

That showed up this quarter:

42% NTV growth, India consumer services (ex-InstaHelp) up 26% (fastest in 11 quarters), while EBITDA margin improved from 1.6% to 3.3%.

Unusual part: growth + margin expansion together ...
is rare in service marketplaces, which often trade efficiency for speed.

As density increases:
• lower travel time
• tighter job packing
• higher utilization
• faster fulfillment
• higher provider earnings

And counterintuitively, instant delivery is making the system more efficient, not less.Image
Most instant models rely on slack capacity, which pressures utilization and burn.

Here, density in select micro-markets reduces travel time, lowers cancellations, and increases jobs per provider per day - while shrinking customer wait times.

If that holds, it’s operating leverage showing up as convenience.

And importantly:
this isn’t a single-category business.

They’re doing this across 60+ service categories and 47 cities.
That’s operationally far harder than food delivery or grocery.Image

Ppl snipe that long covid patients aren’t more qualified to direct a pandemic response than public health officials only for those same officials to be 5 days behind us on recommending exactly what we said would be required based on info that was already available
Long Covid patients are better equipped to understand the dynamics at play bc, thanks to the utter abandonment of public health (including @ashishkjha!) we’ve spent years studying airborne infection control bc our literal lives were on the line
@ashishkjha While WHO and @cdc dragged their feat on admitting that there was, indeed, no distinct form of transmission called droplet- it’s simply “through the air transmission” now, a single category, we had to learn the hard way how it worked
