I still post random, but quite meaningful thoughts in less than 140 characters on Twitter. Here are my latest ones -

My Thoughts -

1. I think being “busy” is not a good indicator of our progress, but being “productive” is.
2. I think decisions are often made before we discuss it. We just try to find some support for it.
3. While developing a feature, we need to think like a user, not like a creator.
4. “Talk” is cheap. “Dream” is even cheaper. Then what’s stopping us from dreaming big?
5. Giving attention is of no use if we are not giving attention to the details.
6. Sometimes we learn the easy way, sometimes the hard way. As long as we are learning, it doesn’t matter “how” part of it.
7. If “designing” is an art then is “coding” a poetry? It’s not very literal or verbose, and there is always some hidden meaning.
8. Traffic jams are rarely because of real casualties on the road, but because of stupid drivers who think they are multi-taskers.
9. I hate slow drivers. I hate fast drivers too.
