@anandmahindra Keyh monastery........one of the quietest places in India. Infact the whole Spiti valley is silent......

@27stories_ Inglorious Bastards lo Hans Landa character chesina Christoph Waltz ni how did you act so convincingly as an evil guy antey he simply said, he is not evil. He replied that no Nazi ever believed that he is evil. No bad guy ever thinks that he is bad.

CR7 mon gars… Y’a des pénos à chercher ce week-end pour être meilleur buteur de SPL

Writers & actors built careers on propaganda, and the industry stayed quiet like cats. Now the same clan mock Dhurandhar. You don’t get to call yourself liberal if your first instinct is to Mock. Don’t know when truth started getting labeled as propaganda...... strange times. COMING TO THE POINT..... I want to tell @AdityaDharFilms & @RanveerOfficial yeh kaala drishti aise nahi jaayega... Muthi bhar ke laal mirch se kaam nahi chalega.... poora khet jalana padega 🔥 Watched #Dhurandhar2‌TheRevenge last night.... Outstanding film 🙏

Not many know this, but I used to get trolled online for saying that Bhabha Atomic Research Centre was once home, few really understood what I meant. Trolls said when I returned from US since then BARC was making this.. defence bros this is BARCs Kaveri Engine on AMCA moment (yes, that big) Space bros it is BARCs gaganyaan moment Tonight I am alking through the night to reach the mountain top.. just in time to witness tomorrow’s sunrise from a place where the raw material journey once began. This is Stage 3, folks.PFBTR to FBTR Stage 3.. (actual 3 will be Th Reactor) where reactors move from consumption to creation. The Fast Breeder Test Reactor offers a glimpse of that future, using fast neutrons to generate more fuel than it burns. Somewhere, Homi J. Bhabha would be smiling. And I’d really love to send a card to Anil Kakodkar sir today.. probably I will :)

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme. The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme. A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

This means we were succcessful in stage 2 on India's three stage nuclear program: Stage 1: Generate energy using Uranium-238 and produce Plutonium-239 as a byproduct. Stage 2: Generate energy using a mix of Uranium-238 and Plutonium-239. Less Uranium required and the proces generates more Plutonium-239 than it consumes. That means more Plutonium. It also generates Uranium-233 which is required for stage 3. Stage 3: Generate energy using a mix of Uranium-233 and Thorium-233 (which is available in abundance in India). It is stil theoretical and might take 25-30 years to develop after success of stage 2. If stage 3 succeeds, it will make India's energy supply virtually inexhaustible for centuries. We would be able to generate all the electricity we need to power everything including vehicles. No more dependence of oil. Solar+Nuclear energy is the future.

When I worked for Dettol, the usual refrain was creativity doesn’t sell. Stick to the formula. Invest in media, remain on-air all 52 weeks, maintain market share. But sometimes, they deviate & drop gems like these.

@SiddharthKG7 I think he deliberately avoided it to land that interval scene. It would have created an unnecessary distraction to the movie flow. Whoever took that decision, kudos!

Pinda demands a party. Says he wants it desi style. No clubbing. Any basicass director would have inserted a random item number here. Even in period drama movies they do not leave the opportunity. You gotta appreciate Aditya Dhar for not breaking continuity with a hot song.

i think the Messi-Laporta renewal debate has to be the most disingenuous conversation in the Barça fanbase right now they've managed to reduce it to "you wanted us to liquidate the club to keep him," which is a strawman nobody serious is actually making what most Messi's fans (and Barça fans by extension) actually wanted was for him not to be used as a pawn in a presidential campaign. Laporta ran on "I'm the man who would keep Messi" then spent months stringing him along while Messi couldn't properly explore alternatives because he was technically still a Barça player. that's not a financial failure, that's a character one when it finally collapsed, he got a tearful press conference instead of a proper farewell befitting 21 years of blood sweat and tears, and the greatest career the club has ever seen ultimately, expecting basic decency and integrity from your club's leadership doesn't mean you love it less. you can acknowledge the financial reality and still hold the president accountable for how he handled it, those aren't mutually exclusive positions

@anantha I used to curse about these heavy vehicles driving in the right lane, but the reason is a kind of cascading effect. They are scared/worried about the 2 wheelers in the left lane who drive crazily which doesn't give them enough response time to break hence the right lane.

Mobile distraction aside, no one is going to ask why the road roller guy is calmly driving in the right lane?

@Bonmatimessi The first week into the world cup, the discussion was all about who can beat Brazil & France sides with the way they are playing.After the Saudi match, it was all about how deep Arg can go into the WC. Croatia vs Brazil was a heartbreak when HR equalized deep in the extra time.

I'd like to remind everyone that going into the 2022 world cup, Argentina were also never seen as the clear favorites to win the trophy, yet they did. Same applies to both of their copa America wins before and after

@Akashkumarjha14 Lately, there's been a lot of awkward silences in the commentary room. Sometimes out of context, sometimes no chemistry within the panel

KP: Last year, saw only one batter getting hold of Bumrah and that was Karun Nair Harsha: And he didn't even make a documentary about himself. Lol, a good joke wasted because KP most probably wasn't aware of the context.

Part 2: AI and the Global Energy Map. The market confirms it. The dollar index went from 96 to 101. Gold is down roughly 20% from its January all time high. Bitcoin is down 20% on the year. Brent is above $100. European and Asian institutions are liquidating precious metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply. The world is selling its gold to buy American energy in American currency. But the strategy has a deeper layer, and it is the one I consider most important. Artificial intelligence is a physical industry. It runs on power and chips. Data centers require massive uninterrupted baseload electricity, primarily provided by natural gas. Semiconductor fabrication requires helium and rare earths. By choking the Strait of Hormuz and crippling Middle Eastern LNG and helium production, the United States is systematically degrading China’s ability to power its data centers and fabricate semiconductors at scale. The United States is energy self sufficient, especially with newly captured Venezuelan reserves and expanding Gulf Coast capacity running on domestic gas. China, on the other hand, is import dependent and every joule it imports now transits chokepoints the US Navy controls. Iran was the Belt and Road’s overland energy bypass, the corridor that allowed China to mitigate the Malacca Trap. With Iran neutralized, that corridor is severed. China faces a world where its compute infrastructure competes for scraps on a depleted global LNG market while American data centers run at full capacity on domestic energy. Russia is next in the sequence. A postwar Iran reopening under American influence competes directly with Russia for the same refineries in China and India at lower cost. Russia loses its last structural advantage in heavy crude and its economic lifeline. Meanwhile, under the cover of the Iran war, Ukraine has been opportunistically destroying Russian energy infrastructure. The message from Washington becomes very simple: we dismantled two regimes in three months, your economy is about to get crushed, sign the Ukraine deal. And then Trump sits down with Xi holding every card. Complete energy dominance. The hybrid petro/LNG dollar fortified. Iran cleared. Russia cornered. China facing the Malacca Trap fully closed with no remaining energy bypass. Israel and the Gulf states are absorbing the kinetic cost of a conflict whose primary beneficiary, contrary to the prevailing narrative, is the United States. Qatar offline for five years reprices the entire global gas market in favor of American exporters for the remainder of the decade. The Gulf states face years of rebuilding. Europe faces its second energy crisis in four years. The average American may face temporary moderate inflation and higher gas prices. But if you are the architect of the American empire and you view the rise of China and Chinese ASI as an existential winner takes all scenario, the collateral damage is acceptable cost. Whoever controls the energy corridors controls the monetary system. Whoever controls the monetary system and the energy supply simultaneously controls the compute infrastructure that determines which civilization builds ASI first. The United States is seizing all three.

Just five years ago, the global energy map was a board with multiple players. Russia supplied Europe with 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas through pipelines that had been operating for decades. Iran and Venezuela sold heavy crude to China outside the dollar financial system. Qatar supplied a fifth of the world’s LNG from Ras Laffan, the largest liquefaction facility on the planet. China was building the Belt and Road Initiative with an overland corridor through Iran, Iraq and Syria that allowed it to bypass the maritime straits controlled by the US Navy. The world had options. And when a buyer has options, the seller has no power. Today that board is unrecognizable. If we stop viewing the geopolitical events of the last four years as isolated episodes and observe them as a single sequence, the architecture of an American grand strategy becomes visible. The first move was Europe. The Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40 billion. Then Nord Stream was destroyed and any possibility of return was permanently eliminated. The United States went from supplying 28% of Europe’s LNG in 2021 to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million metric tons, the first country in history to break 100 million. Europe went from a customer with alternatives to a captive market purchasing its survival in dollars. The second move was Syria. The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China’s Belt and Road to the Mediterranean. The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq and Syria, designed to bypass Western maritime chokepoints, was destroyed. This geographically isolated Iran and cleared the path for what came next. The third was Venezuela. In January of this year, the United States effectively took control of the world’s largest heavy crude reserves. The US Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth, built specifically to process heavy sour crude. Phillips 66, Valero and the rest are now positioned to refine hundreds of 1000s of barrels of Venezuelan crude daily. The United States captured a massive strategic reserve and consolidated its position as the dominant exporter of refined petroleum products, an industry worth $110 bn in 2025 alone. Venezuela and Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system. Both produced heavy crude sold primarily to China and outside US financial supervision. Both are being neutralized within 90 days. Which brings us to the fourth move: Iran and the Middle East energy shock. Israel struck Iran’s South Pars gas field, the world’s largest natural gas reservoir. Iran retaliated against Qatar’s Ras Laffan. QatarEnergy’s own assessment is that 17% of its export capacity is gone and recovery will take up to five years. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. European gas prices spiked 70%. Asian spot prices doubled. The only remaining scaled supplier is the United States. If Iran falls and a successor government is installed under American influence, roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of global production, out of a total of 103 mn, will be effectively under US control. OPEC becomes irrelevant because the American coalition becomes the marginal producer. And this goes beyond oil. What we are witnessing is the evolution of the petrodollar system into a hybrid petro/LNG dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in dollars. The new one is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts and regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe and the Pacific allies, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, cannot switch providers. There is nowhere left to pivot. They are locked into the American energy system.

Ah yes, Tolkien, who wrote The Lord of the Rings, which has sold over 150 million copies, and The Hobbit which has sold another 100 million (ranking them 2nd and 3rd respectively in top-selling novels of all time), who created over 14 distinct languages and alphabets for Middle-earth before writing his novels, who was fluent in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Gothic, Greek, Italian, Latin, Lombardic, Middle/Old English, Old Norse, Norwegian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, and Welsh, who, while serving in WWI, developed a secret code to update his wife about his location to bypass British army mail censorship, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature….. Yes, surely, he is a weak thinker.

Andy Weir announced a new novel with "no details yet" Brother we already know: regular guy gets stuck somewhere impossible, MacGyvers his way out with real science, makes us laugh while we ugly cry, and we all finish it at 3am on a Tuesday. Take my money.

@RMFC_team Respect is earned! This is what he did that day.....

Neymar after losing the Copa America final against ARGENTINA.

@AnkurMessi_ That double touch made that assist possible, he absorbed the pressure so that Mac Allister can setup De maria for the goal

Only Messi was allowed to touch the ball twice x.com/Burnie453256/s…

The novel behind Bridge to Terabithia (2007) was written by Katherine Paterson to help her 8-year-old son cope with the death of his best friend, who was struck by lightning. Years later, her son went on to produce the film.
