No Filter Sarah Frier

 Hello my fellow book lovers! In No Filter, journalist Sarah Frier delivers a masterful, behind-the-scenes chronicle of Instagram’s meteoric rise—from its artistic-focused startup origins to its global dominance under Facebook’s shadow—drawing on exclusive interviews with founders, insiders, and cultural figures. The book balances vivid storytelling with meticulous reporting, portraying not just the business maneuvers, but the human drama behind key decisions, including the eventual departure of the founders. It's reception is overwhelmingly positive: The Verge called it “meticulously reported, beautifully told.” In short, No Filter is an essential, unfiltered look at one of today’s most influential tech platforms—insightful, engaging, and rich with broader societal implications. Thanks to my employer, Instahyre, for this helpful book!

Still, no, wait, not still, I also committed a grave error of leaving out a person from my life history, despite saying in the same conversation, at a different point of time, words to the effect that a nurtured grievance tends to intensify negatively over time. I hope I have not slipped up too badly. Mahak pressed the red button when I called right now. With Mum, I knew in my heart she knew I was going to be serious about Mahak. Hence, at an opportunistic moment was exploited to full advantage, meaning no negativity whatsoever, and Mum accepted the news with good humor; I think her apprehensions are going to wait till December. Now, I have two things...

Money

By Pink Floyd Excellent song. The lyrics pertain to (most probably) the group's experience itself. As such, it is funny and humorous, poking fun at the system of media barons and "chart" economics.  I relate to it even more these days, when all I need is money.
