Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fist my bump. Awesome. A feel good sci fi is the best sci fi.

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie ⭐⭐⭐1/2 This entire book feels like an introduction to the characters and the plot. I would have expected more from the first book of a series. However, I can sense that Book 2 is where things truly take off.

This thread is for the books I'm reading in 2026

One of the biggest Mandela effects (phenomenon where a large group of people collectively misremember the same detail) on Indian social media is the widespread belief that Mir Ranjan Negi was the coach of the Indian women’s hockey team when it won the gold medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The mandela effect here is so strong that it is very likely that if you ask Grok or ChatGPT who was the coach, it is likly to tell you it is Mir Ranjan Negi (which in part is due to lack of extensive reporting on sports in India barring cricket). But he was not. The head coach of that team was Gurdial Singh Bhangu (who is also the first hockey coach to receive the Dronacharya Award, India’s highest sporting honour for coaches). The team had M.K. Kaushik as a mentor during the preparation camp. Kaushik was the coach of Indian Men's Hockey team in 1998 Asian Games when team won gold medal the event after 30 years. And due to his expeience with training many women players at SAI, New Delhi, he was asked to assist as a mentor. He became second hockey coach to be awarded the Dronacharya Award in 2002, the same year India won that historic gold. He took over the coaching for Women's team from Gurdial Bhangu in 2002 just after the event. When Yash Raj Films began work on Chak De! India, the screenplay writer Jaideep Sahni loosely based the character of Kabir Khan on M.K. Kaushik, who had just taken over as the full-time head coach of the women’s team in 2002. Several details in the film came directly from Kaushik’s life. Even the scooter used by Shah Rukh Khan’s character was Kaushik’s. So where does Mir Ranjan Negi fit in and why does almost everyone remember him as the coach? Mir Ranjan Negi was the goalkeeping coach of the 2002 women’s team. His association with the gold medal was real, but his elevation in public memory had little to do with coaching hierarchy and everything to do with being at the right place and the right time. YRF wanted Kaushik to be the consultant for hockey scenes in the movie and prepare the cast for shooting. But Kaushik was actively coaching the national team so he couldn’t commit time as an on-field consultant during the film’s shooting. He suggested Mir Ranjan Negi (who at that point did not have a coaching job and needed something positive going for him in his life after losing his 19-year old son to a bike accident) to help YRF with hockey-specific inputs. Mir Ranjan Negi was close to Kaushik since they both played together for the national team and Mir was goalkeeping coach for the 1998 Asian Games too. Once Negi became involved with the film, he realised that Kabir Khan’s fictional backstory closely resembled his own real-life experience particularly the events of the 1982 Asian Games, where India lost 7–1 to Pakistan and Negi, then the national team goalkeeper, was accused of match-fixing, which was partly due to his first-name 'Mir' which can be perceived as a Muslim name. What’s crucial to note is this: the screenplay was already written by then. Chak De! India was not based on Mir Ranjan Negi’s life. But the film’s marketing machinery latched onto the emotional overlap. Negi accompanied the cast on reality shows and promotional tours. This was the early era of Indian reality TV, when personal struggle narratives were aggressively foregrounded. Even Jaideep Sahni later expressed discomfort at how someone who was only coincidentally associated with the real team began receiving disproportionate limelight, as if the film were an adaptation of his life. Even Mr. Mir has since clarified multiple times that the movie was not his biopic at all. However two decades later, Gurdial Singh Bhangu, the actual head coach, is barely remembered. M.K. Kaushik, also almost forgotten, passed away during COVID. While Mir Ranjan Negi remains in public memory synonymous with the 2002 triumph.

Guy: What’s your height? Girl: 5'6". Guy: I can remove those 6 inches if you want. Girl: *Shy smile* Oh really? And how will you do that? Girl: Wait… WHAT?! Narrator: A Bihari guy was already halfway down the street with a pair of heels.

This girl says men can't communicate and she answered "what do you think?", when I asked her "Did you watch the match yesterday?"
