sssshhhhhh

Indians got to know 100 people got killed in UP due to storm because of Putin's tweet. Absolute state of Indian media.

His commitment to never work is so admirable

People would outrage more over a chicken piece in Zomato food than hundreds of kids being sent to hospitals by the government.

15 years ago, a 'product' like Astro Talk would be laughed out of investor offices. Let alone, an ad during the IPL feat a working woman being reassured by an astrologer on a screen. Today, it has a $300 mn valuation. Do we no longer even pretend to be rational as people?

The fact the Middle East has to pay an entire century of instability and intermittent war because the Europeans decided to genocide their Jewish population is insane.

Only in the subcontinent we look at coaches through his achievements as a player. Although MM himself was a fine cricketer. Even with the greatest of athletes they would get into a muscle-memory routine where bad habits creep in. For someone like Bumrah, it could be losing his rhythm. Example - muscling through the crease, losing a bit of momentum. A good coach with a keen eye can pinpoint these mistakes.

Friendly reminder that the United Nations seems to exist only so that rich kids of IB schools can play Model UN

Being a diehard fan of a politician.

"apolitical" means bjp supporters who are ashamed to openly admit that they support BJP

You're lying in bed, headphones on, building entire scenarios in your head. Replaying conversations you wish had gone differently. Imagining a relationship that doesn't exist -but feels real. Psychologists call this maladaptive daydreaming. It's your mind escaping into vivid, imagined worlds that feel safer or more controllable than reality. This activates the brain's default mode network - linked to imagination and self reflection. It releases dopamine, the same chemical that rewards us when we succeed in real life. But here's the catch. Because the victories are imagined, the relief is temporary. The roots often trace back to childhood-loneliness, neglect, or pain. When reality felt unsafe, the brain built a world where you could finally be in control. It's not laziness. It's your nervous system regulating emotions through imagination. The real danger comes only when escaping feels easier than living.

Anyone surprised by the criminal acts of the rich and powerful hasn’t analysed any of the powerful people in their own spheres of work/family. Unchecked power is the shortest-cut to crime. Heck most of the crimes also happen because the criminal is seeking to impose power.

The real pandemic is how stupid everyone is.

Exactly the kind of caste-privilege that savarnas refuse to acknowledge.

One of the most underrated skills you can learn is the ability to ignore your mood and stick with the plan.

unpopular opinion: i think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.

True that
