India is the only major civilizational country where you are systematically taught to hate your heritage and glorify the invaders who came to destroy it and this absurdity is called “secularism”.

“Bhajan clubbing” is drawing Gen Z crowds across India. No alcohol, no DJs. Just performers leading Hindu devotional songs set to bass-heavy beats. It’s part of a wider shift reshaping how young Indians are engaging with the faith. @akritiisharma explains: bloom.bg/4uNvX0f

Yesterday, I was giving an intro talk to our dept's new PhD students. Technical things aside, my number 1 suggestion has remained the same over the years: Treat your PhD like a job. - Avoid 1.5h lunch and three tea breaks. - Avoid gossiping and loitering at work. - Lab at 9 am and leave at 6 pm. Being productive till 11 pm in the lab is a lie people till themselves when their day starts at 1 PM. Everything worth doing can be done with high intensity focus during work hours. And having fun in life is the secret to being productive in a marathon.




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 🙏






Opinion | There is a version of this film that could have been devastating—a critique of a nation that fails its citizens and then feeds on their grief. But Dhar isn’t interested in that film. He is interested in myth-making: in building a world where obedience is virtue, where masculinity is measured by one’s willingness to die on command, and where the State is absolved of all its failures so long as it can produce a spectacle convincing enough. In the end, Dhurandhar: The Revenge doesn’t just tell the story of a man being exploited. It participates in that exploitation.
