The EU and UK have banned airlines in the past for poor safety records, like Nepal Airlines and PIA, but never Air India. Tragedies like this are rare and deeply painful. However, I’ve flown with them more than 20 times and would do it again without hesitation.

In the midst of this sorrow, I wish to pay sincere tribute to the extraordinary bravery and compassion of the emergency responders and all those who have come forward to help. Their courage in the face of such devastation is a poignant reminder of our shared humanity.

My deepest condolences go out to all those who have lost loved ones or are anxiously awaiting news in this time of unbearable uncertainty.

The psy woman says if conscience is just instinct, why follow it.

If she’s right, then guilt is just noise. Morality’s a leash. & the only reason you feel bad is because you haven’t let go yet.

And maybe that’s the difference. Some people lose the feeling.
Others just live long enough to fake it.

And for a second, I remembered this used to be normal.

Now it feels dystopian. Like watching the world pre-firewall. Before the bots cleaned up our mess and made us sound smarter than we are.

Funny how silence from a machine makes the humans louder. And dumber.

God, I need a drink.

WWDC 2025 wasn’t a revolution. It was Apple rearranging the furniture while pretending it built a new house. But hey, I’m still watching. So maybe I’m the problem.

This is my fresh take.. I’ll post more detailed thoughts in retrospect once I digress a bit.

No one said AI out loud. They whispered it like a dirty word, sprinkled between “neural” and “context-aware”. But we saw the shape of it. Somewhere deep in the code, Apple is negotiating with the future.. nervously.

iPadOS, and weirdly, it’s decent. Studio audio, better multitasking, real work capability. I can finally justify getting an iPad.. and I say that as someone who’s been in a long, toxic relationship with laptops. They ended with a performance so drenched in hipster energy it made me miss buffering.

macOS Tahoe brought a few solid moves.. Spotlight got sharper, Phone app came to Mac, continuity features tightened. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, things are cozier now. Not revolutionary. Just.. warmer.

watchOS 26? Irrelevant. I don’t care if the Apple Watch can monitor your heartbeat or save someone from a trolley problem. I’m not charging a watch every night like it’s a Tamagotchi.

Apple Music.. what even is it anymore? It tries to be your local library and your streaming messiah and ends up being neither. I don’t use it. Not out of protest, just disinterest.

Safari’s still bad. WebKit still handcuffs the web. Apple Maps? Still allergic to India. If you actually want to reach your destination and not meditate on it from a pothole, Google Maps is the only option.

CarPlay looked good.. that was unexpected. Call Screening and Hold Assist? Genuinely clever. The kind of things that make you wonder if someone at Apple briefly remembered what real users want.

iOS 26 exists. It’s loud, glassy, self-congratulatory. They talked about intelligence like it was contraband. Blink and you missed it. Genmoji returned, and it’s still just Canva for people who think emojis need lore.

Tim looked like he didn’t want to be there. Craig drove an F1 car into our hearts, then parked it on top of our expectations. The redesign? They call it Liquid Glass. I call it Windows 7 Aero with a billion-dollar budget and zero personality. Everything’s translucent now, including the point.

And that, my friends, is a heinous crime but not just by the hackers (9/9)

So, what’s next? More defenses, more cyber task forces, more reactive firefighting. Because let’s face it until governments and hospitals get ahead of the game, groups like Qilin will just keep treating our most essential services like their personal ATM.
(8/9)

Just another day in cyberspace, where ‘hackers’ are less about hoodies and basements, and more about ruthless business models that happen to operate outside the law.
