@yavanikashah So you express yourself in a regional language using the Latin alphabet? That’s some logic….

Indians really said: “I know 3 languages but professionalism = English only.” Meanwhile the rest of the world is out here: 🇫🇷 French + English 🇩🇪 German + English 🇨🇳 Mandarin + English …confidence, culture, clarity all in one post. We literally think, dream, fight, flirt, and bargain in Hindi/Tamil/Punjabi/Bengali… but the second it’s LinkedIn, suddenly we’re all Victorian British lawyers. It’s not lack of ability. It’s conditioning. Somewhere we decided: Regional language = less professional English = more credible Which is wild… because: Clients relate more in native languages Culture builds trust And authenticity travels way further than polished blandness The irony? The same global clients we’re trying to impress are proudly bilingual in their own markets. Maybe it’s time we normalize: “Honoured to share…” + “bahut khushi ho rahi hai…” in the same breath. Cz nothing says confidence like not abandoning your own voice to sound “global.”

@kneerecon He was voted into office because an intelligent woman of South Asian & Jamaican descent was one bridge too far for a misogynist, racist America.

1 So how was Trump able to return to power? How did we allow a man who is clearly incompetent and off the rails put us in the position we find ourselves in? Remember the people sitting around him at his inauguration such as Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg to name a few? Trump

@samjawed65 @zoo_bear I can only say…step outside your home and see what our cities are like

India attracts only ~9 million foreign tourists a year which is roughly the same number as annual visitors to the Louvre alone. Vietnam, a far smaller country, attracted more than double this number last year. Why does a country of our scale and tourism potential remain such an underperformer on the global tourism dashboard?

@seemagoswami This popped up on my FB timeline today. 13 years on, these thoughts count even more. seemagoswami.blogspot.com/2013/04/normal…

We created The World Quiz to bridge the gap between history and curiosity. It is our way of making sense of a chaotic world through the small, forgotten details. Thank you for your incredible participation over the last 30 days without a miss. Your insights and shared thoughts are what truly keep these stories moving forward. We have also compiled every Question & Answer into a single archive. If you’d like the full collection, comment "Yes" below and we will send it to your inbox. Also, how can we make it even better and engaging? Don’t forget to share your ideas with us! The World Quiz will return.

Richard Feynman’s savage takedown of pseudo-science still burns in 2026: “Social science is an example of a science which is not a science. They follow the forms… but they don’t get any laws. They haven’t found out anything.” He goes harder: Experts who “sit at a typewriter and make up” claims — “organic food is better,” “this diet cures everything” — as if it’s settled science, when no rigorous experiments or checks have been done. Feynman: “I know what it means to really know something. How careful you have to be. How easy it is to fool yourself. I see how they get their information… and I can’t believe that they know.” The Nobel physicist calls it straight: most of what passes for “expert” opinion is noise dressed up as knowledge. In an age drowning in TikTok “science,” influencers, and clickbait studies — Feynman’s 1:52 rant feels more relevant than ever. Who’s the biggest pseudo-expert that grinds your gears right now? Clip is timeless fire — watch it and feel the clarity.

@ElizabethDese Many, many times…

A young lady lost her phone in a taxi. No contacts backed up. No money. Just silence. She kept calling the number, hoping someone would answer. Finally, a man picked up. “I found it,” he said. “But I won’t send it unless you describe your wallpaper.” Her voice broke. “It’s my little brother in his school uniform. He passed away last year. That’s the only clear picture I have of him.” There was a long pause. “Madam,” the man said softly, “where should I bring it?” He delivered the phone himself. Refused transport money. Sometimes, the world reminds you it still has a heart. Have you ever met a stranger who restored your faith in people? 💛

@buitengebieden No dino left behind…😂

Never forget your dino.. 😊

@iamAbhinavKumar @IndLibertarians So if an Englishman owns an Indian restaurant in the UK, what should it be labeled as…?🤔

@IndLibertarians Yes. If there were multiple Italians around and yet the majority of Italian restaurants were owned by Indians, it would be an absurdity. That's what he's pointing out. Guess he's not the 🤡

So I can't run an Italian restaurant in India, if I am not of Italian origin? When a restaurant calls itself Indian restaurant or Japanese restaurant whatever, it indicates the cuisine they serve. Not who it is owned by. Absolutely moronic clowns 🤡

@LividBuffalo9 @sethrishi @TheSanjivKapoor What according to you is “authentic Indian cuisine”..?

@sethrishi @TheSanjivKapoor Are you thick or just trying to be a contrarian? The point is about misrepresentation. Many people in Britain may walk into restaurants labeled as “Indian” without realizing that the food being served may not accurately reflect authentic Indian cuisine.

Very strange take. Restaurants advertise their cuisine, not the origin or nationality of their owner. Else should all Chinese restaurants owned and run by Indians in India be called Indian restaurants?

@Schandillia There is really nothing to implement. One can just refuse to share their number. I get asked at stores & restaurants all the time , and I just say no

This is such a terrific call, if implemented diligently! Something to praise the government for in a long, long time.

@readswithravi So many times…

Have you ever read a book by an author that was so good it made you want to read everything else they've written?

@Mishi_2210 1050

If answer is not 300 then what is the answer..? 1 percent will succeed

@Matt_Pinner All 20 for me. Well I have rented videotapes but not from Blockbuster since Blockbuster was never there in my country

10 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?

@venom1s You are such a sad, sad man

Girls love gangster type boys who are in gangs, roam around on bikes, get into fights, and create ruckus. Ever since school, I’ve seen girls having a special interest in such boys. Those guys live in dirty rooms, with cigarettes and trash. Even guys from good families don’t make friends with them. But they are never single. All of them have girlfriends. Those girls go to that same dirty room to sleep with them. After seeing such things, I realised how dark the reality is. I am sure all of you have seen such things happening in society. Those girls sleep with those guys and later marry well-settled innocent men. If you have seen this happening in society too, share the story in replies.

@sardesairajdeep What’s even more shocking is that the child was asked to identify the attacker. Does any of those “child experts” even understand the trauma being inflicted on the child? As always, we fail the victim.

Today’s shocker is from Gujarat. A Nirbhaya like horror in the state. Will it ever become a major ‘national’ story or is a village near Rajkot too far from Delhi (also in a BJP ruled state).. Crimes against women must be above all politics surely, no? indiatoday.in/amp/india/stor…

@BDUTT @IndiGo6E I am not 100% certain, I think DGCA regulations state that airlines are obligated to provide refreshments to passengers if the flight is delayed by more than 2 hours, provided that boarding has not started.

Nothing will ever stop @IndiGo6E from the cheap trick of forcing people to board knowing the flight is late just to make some faux claims of punctuality. Utterly irritating 😠

@IndianGems_ Africa is a continent….

China will be the next US Vietnam will be the next China Africa will be the next India India will be the next ?

@SamDalrymple123 I was fortunate to have a brief stint in Yangon for 3 months. It reminded me so much of Calcutta I grew up in the ‘80s. The most heartbreaking was the complete dilapidation of the iconic Pegu Club.

The decline of Rangoon is perhaps one of the most important - and forgotten - stories of the twentieth century.

@Bombaymoshai Couldn’t agree more @Bombaymoshai. “Shattered Lands” is brilliant and I am an avid subscriber of “Travels of Samwise”

Sam Dalrymple, son of historian William Dalrymple, is himself a gifted young historian. His recent book, substack essays and twitter threads have illuminated India’s past with brilliant research and clarity. Yet dumb trolls won’t leave him alone.
