@oldschoolinvest The average life expectancy in your grandfather's era was 31-32 years. Where did you find the figure of 100? Whatsapp pe aaya hai kya?

Our grandparents lived 100 years eating this.

@Anjan94150697 The case would now be transferred to a different bench and we know the composition of the bench.

@smritiirani सीने में जलन आंखों में तूफान सा क्यूं है

क्यों इतना परेशान हैं, क्या कोई इम्तिहान है?

@shalendra100 Aameen

The day BJP finally loses power, the celebrations are going to be massive. it’ll probably be a level of energy and excitement that most people haven’t seen in their entire lives ! This day will come one day!

@zoo_bear @smitaprakash "Honey Trap!!" 😀 who went after honey BTW to get trapped. Gajab innocent bachcha hai.

South Asia's leading Propaganda News Agency is reporting one sided News because the accused is BJP MP and Union Minister's Son. Why didn't @smitaprakash reach out to the victim of alleged sexual assault first?. Why first release a press statement of a Union Minister's Son who is an accused here?

Even in the height of the declared emergency when SS Ray, the Bengal CM, was part of Indira’s “kitchen cabinet”, even he had not publicly exhibited such sycophantic behaviour towards the sitting PM! 🫣

@Imsonali0 They should have better reasons to deny account opening. The customer can raise a complaint with the Banking Ombudsman.

@Imsonali0 How can he ask for communication address proof. It is not required as per RBI's KYC guidelines. A declaration to this effect is enough. The Aadhar address will be treated as a permanent address. It's the bank's responsibility to verify the communication address of the customer.

A Bank of India employee, sitting there in a red shirt, openly says — “We won’t do your work… do whatever you can.” This incident is from the Madhubani branch in Bihar. A young man went there to open a bank account. He has been living in Madhubani for the past 5 years, although his permanent home is in Darbhanga. As per rules, a landlord’s electricity bill from the place where you currently live can be used as valid address proof. The boy had carried exactly that… Yet, the bank staff refused straightaway — 👉 “Your account won’t be opened here. Go to Darbhanga.” The next day, when he returned with another person, the response suddenly changed — 👉 “The account will be opened, but not after 2 PM. That’s the rule.” Sensing something wrong, the young man immediately called customer care from there. And the truth came out — ❌ There is no such rule about 2 PM. When the customer care executive spoke to the bank employee, he blatantly lied — 👉 “He doesn’t have a local address proof.” Even though the young man was standing there holding the electricity bill. As soon as the call ended, the same arrogant tone returned — 👉 “Do whatever you want… we will not open your account.” This is not just negligence — it’s outright misconduct and abuse of power. Strict action must be taken against such employees. Otherwise, common people will continue to suffer, and trust in the system will keep eroding.

@thecaravanindia "Wahan border pe jawan khada hai" reloaded in New India.

35-year-old Jaswinder Singh, a serving soldier of the Border Security Force died in the custody of the Narcotics Control Bureau in Jammu. Jaswinder had been declared fit in nine medical reports, the last of which was issued on 18 March, less than forty-eight hours before his death, in which the medical officer at the government hospital in Jammu stated, “Accused is physically fit after clinical examination in my opinion.” He further noted that Jaswinder had been “conscious, cooperative well oriented.” When the family finally saw Jaswinder in the mortuary of the civil hospital in Amritsar, they found his body riddled with bruises and welts. But only when they removed his clothes and turned him on his stomach did they witness the true horror. The postmortem report however found that 34 blunt force injuries had been inflicted on him. The postmortem report raises concerns about the veracity of this order. It states that most of his injuries were antemortem, that is, before death, and were sustained within the previous four days.

@AmalJos95950131 Gobar bags

A person converting to Christianity is a 'rice bag'. What are the MPs and MLAs converting in flocks to BJP called?

One of the more entertaining privileges of living in India is watching our unlettered rich and powerful perform socio-political analysis. These are men who built empires through connections, contracts, and the occasional government favour and have somehow confused that with wisdom. So when a prominent industrialist puts out a piece explaining why the BJP juggernaut will keep rolling, it's worth spending five minutes dismantling it. Because it falls apart in about that long. The framing is clean, I'll give him that. Clean in the way a card trick is clean. It looks elegant until you see where the cards went. His argument rests on a 50-50 split: BJP owns Hindu nationalist identity, which is roughly half the country, and everyone else is scrambling for the other half. Therefore BJP wins. Forever. Ameen. Summa-Ameen. Except the 50-50 is made up. BJP's actual ideological base, the RSS-mobilised, Hindutva-committed voter who is there regardless of candidate, regardless of price of onions, regardless of anything, is closer to 20-25%. The rest of their coalition is caste arithmetic, welfare delivery, regional anti-incumbency, and Modi's blind cult following. A significant chunk of their voters are OBC and Dalit voters with concrete material grievances who backed BJP for concrete material reasons. They are not ideological soldiers. They can be peeled away. They have been peeled away. So the first constant in his equation, the one he treats like holy scripture, is false. But even that isn't the biggest problem. The bigger problem is that he treats opposition fragmentation as a law of nature rather than a political failure. He looks at fifteen parties jostling for the same space and concludes: this is permanent, this is structural, BJP wins by design. Read that again slowly: BJP wins because the opposition hasn't solved a coordination problem. That's it. That's the whole secret. There is no juggernaut. There's a fragmented opposition handing over seats they should be winning. UP 2024 made this embarrassingly clear. When SP and Congress actually ran together, with some semblance of coordination and clarity, they won 43 seats in a state BJP had treated as a fortress. The juggernaut didn't wobble. It fell on its face in the one place where the opposition briefly got its act together. And here's what our industrialist friend also conveniently skips: BJP isn't dominant because it owns an ideological half of India. It's dominant because it has a machine. The RSS is the fuel, the cadre, the penetration, the ground structure that no opposition party can match. That's the real asymmetry. Not some metaphysical ownership of Hindu identity. Now, our industrialist friend could have asked the genuinely interesting question hiding inside his own argument: why hasn't the opposition solved this coordination problem in a decade? That would have been worth reading. The answer is partly structural, partly the ego of regional satraps who'd rather rule their fiefdoms than challenge nationally, and partly a failure of political imagination. Had he asked that question, he might have earned his seat at the table of serious political commentary. Instead, he built a tidy little argument with a predetermined destination, one that just happens to conclude that the party he has never found reason to criticise is invincible by the laws of mathematics. That's not analysis. That's propaganda written with CAPITAL letters. (No pun intended)

There was a time when stardom was a fortress. In the 90s, Ruby Bhatia wasn't just a VJ; she was the electric pulse of a new, liberalised India, reportedly commanding Rs 1 lakh per show. Rahul Roy wasn't just an actor; he was the face of a generation’s collective heartbreak, the Aashiqui boy whose silhouette defined romance and whose haircut was the bestseller in every saloon. Govinda? He was—and is—the undisputed king of the masses, a comic genius who could make a cinema hall shake with a single pelvic thrust. Fast forward three decades, and the fortress has been dismantled by the relentless, voyeuristic machinery of social media. Today, these icons find themselves under the harsh, unforgiving glare of a "content-hungry" digital mob that mistakes struggle for failure and evolution for desperation. Recent headlines have taken a perverse pleasure in dissecting Ruby Bhatia’s career shift. Yes, the woman who once defined "cool" is now a life coach charging Rs 3,000 for a six-month program. To the keyboard warriors, this is a "fall from grace." To any sane mind, it is a woman finding meaning after a nervous breakdown, choosing to make mental health accessible to the masses rather than gatekeeping it for the elite. Similarly, Rahul Roy has been subjected to the "cringe" treatment for appearing in social media reels with unknown creators. The internet, in its infinite cruelty, ignores the fact that this man is a brain stroke survivor. He is fighting aphasia, paying off legal debts that predated his illness, and trying to "stay active" and work for as long as he is alive. When he asks his trolls to find him "decent work" instead of mocking his reels, he isn't showing desperation; he is showing a spine of steel that most "influencers" couldn't dream of possessing. Then there is Govinda, the man who once gave the Khans a run for their money, now frequently seen performing at school annual days and weddings. The "dark shadow" of social media brands these "small shows," as if the size of the stage dictates the stature of the legend. Govinda’s response is a masterclass in humility: "I never let my ego influence my work." Whether it’s a Chief Minister’s event or a local school function, the man dances because he is a performer. There is more dignity in one of his "wedding steps" than in the entire collective output of a thousand anonymous trolls. Social media has birthed a generation of spectators who believe that unless you are at the absolute zenith of your power, you should vanish into the shadows. We have become a culture that feeds on the "tragedy" of the legacy act. But here is the truth: There is nothing sad about a veteran getting up and going to work. There is nothing "cringe" about an icon refusing to be defeated by a health crisis or a shifting industry. The desperation doesn't belong to Ruby, Rahul, or Govinda. The desperation belongs to the social media ecosystem that needs to tear down giants just to feel tall.

Bend it like Modiji! @TheSouthfirst cartoon.

Can somebody tell me how many ONIONS are required to COOL a 10x10x10 feet room.

This boy’s clarity of thought and honesty of expression on caste-based disparities are commendable. Hats off to you, young man! He is so right. Reservation is not a poverty alleviation programme but a means to bring equity and equilibrium to the social structure. 🫡🫡
