Being good looking takes you places. Good genetics is an unmatchable asset - globally. And this is gender agnostic. With that given, if one works on acquiring intelligence - you can go and rule your field.

I would strongly recommend that you continue to stay out of India, especially for your three-year-old kid. There are multiple advantages. In many cases, there is the possibility of getting a better passport in the long run, but let’s leave that aside. The core question is what leads to a better life for your child, not just over the next 15 years, but over his entire lifetime. A large part of that upbringing is in your hands, but a significant portion comes from the culture he grows up in. The culture in India is largely competition-driven and quite cutthroat, and there are also civic sense issues, as you are aware. Yes, Indian culture has its benefits, but if you think long term, a more balanced culture abroad can lead to a happier life for the child. Your kid may not grow up prioritizing just making more and more money or being extremely driven, and I don’t think that is necessarily the ideal outcome. Personally, I would want my child to have a smoother, more comfortable life, still achieve something meaningful, and be happy. That becomes easier in many places abroad. The cohort your child grows up in also matters. It will likely include expat Indians, but also a broader, more diverse set of people. On average, NRIs tend to be financially better off than the average Indian, and that reflects in the peer group. Exposure to different cultures and ways of thinking can help shape a more well-rounded individual. Even from a career perspective, growing up in an economy without a scarcity mindset or low-trust environment opens up more opportunities. There is also the safety angle, especially relevant if you have a daughter. Practically speaking, apart from the lower cost of raising a child in India, I don’t see many strong advantages of moving back.

Married men are injected so much with the cleaning OCD from wives that when there is a boys night out at anyone’s house, after the party is over every guy like a robot gets into the cleaning act & ensures no mess is left behind before leaving the house in the morning. The fear of wives tantrums at a messy house is real, bhai log

I thought Dhurandhar 2 songs weren't as good as Part 1 but man I was soo wrong They grow on you and you feel the pain of the protagonist even more once you listen to them after the movie Brilliant is an understatement

"We're in a position we haven't seen. We're respected. You know, our country now is respected all over the world. A year and half ago we were a laughingstock." This man is completely insane.

To my Indian brothers and sisters who have found their Shangri La abroad - I get it that you're enjoying your relocation to a foreign country. More power to you. May god bless you with success and happiness. BUT For the love of God, please stop the 24x7 preaching about how your chosen country/destination is better than India. The ad infinitum reference to AQI, work-life balance, parks, sports etc. gets on the nerves. And it seems that you're trying to justify your decision to yourself by constantly making the comparison so that you can satisfy yourself that you got a great deal. Reality is that even if these aspects weren't there but if the pay was equally good or even better, you'd still chose to relocate. So, please enjoy yourself by all means, share reels abut your chosen place, share knowledge with others about how to navigate themselves if they go abroad but please, don't give gyaan.

Election after election exit polls show that those who consider their economic security as poor vote for the neo-fascist AfD. We need an antifascist economic policy instead of a revival of 90s style neoliberalism. This has become only more urgent in face of the energy crisis.
