Optics mostly. Modi gets to show Indians that a US president dropped in to his rally and Trump gets to make a pitch to the large number of Indian citizens in Houston and nearby areas. You won't find a politician anywhere in the world that doesn't like great optics. And then there's the added bonus sweetener that the US president is attending a political rally by the PM of a foreign country whereas not even a junior state dept official came to receive Pak PM on an unofficial visit. Pak ambassador came to receive Imran and he had to take a bus from the plane to the terminal. That's unheard of really. And the bonhomie may also translate into resolving the trade issues and tariffs which will help with the economic issues in India.

Scripted questions and pre-prepared answers. Lot of meme material came from the last rally, I am expecting nothing less.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

I record zoom meetings using phone voice memos, or use the timer, to keep a running tally on the amount of time chatty extroverts take up in zoom meetings either talking about random topics before starting or derailing the meeting with non-relevant verbal diarrhea. So far the average for a 30 min meeting when one of these people are on the call is ~5 min to start and ~2.5 min unnecessary swirling/grandstanding.

She reached out to a lawyer and the lawyer mentioned that he has seen such cases, apparently only with desi consultancies. WTF?
