I am completely with @ashwinravi99 here. He did the right thing. If @ashwinravi99 actions are against "spirit of the game" then Jos butler moving out of crease to gain advantage is also against the so called spirit. #AshwinMankads #Mankading

@volklub Ok. Thank you.

@augustfun It’s fine but if running is more (above 1000 km) then Hybrid 1.5 eCVT intelligent makes more sense. Smart is hybrid for namesake but reliable & refined.

@volklub Paaji how is grand vitara smart hybrid if the budget is between 16-19 lakhs for mainly city drive? Any other car you can recommend?

IAF achieved air superiority in Op Sindoor, forced Pakistan to seek ceasefire, says Swiss think tank Gives very intricate details of what transpired and how and why certain developments unfolded during the 88 hour conflict theprint.in/defence/iaf-ac…

@IndianMourinho Haha. It is logical to have Rinku in the team. Wonder why they took so much time to realise this

Good to see some competent lower middle order batting from India after a long time. Turns out picking the best guy for the job actually works. Who knew? #Rinku

Surrender is more powerful than manifestation and visualization. You can try to envision the outcomes all you want, but it is not until you fully surrender the outcome to God's will that anything happens. The more you grasp, the more things are pushed away from you. Letting go of all outcomes is paradoxically the path through that which what your soul deeply desires will often come.

Islamism is the OG "right-wing" ideology. It is "conservative" to the core - no freedom of belief or speech, strict dress codes, diluted women's rights, none for LGBTQ folks. It is "extremist" as hell - people get burnt alive and beheaded just for blasphemy or not following the strict religious codes. Everything that liberals believe Hindutva is; it's actually Islamism. The tragedy of our ages is that people who call themselves "liberal" are often defending "Islamists" under the guise of Islamophobia and victim narratives. Liberalism and Islamism are two opposite poles. Nothing that a liberal believes, is followed by Islamists. And nothing that Islamists do, can be defined as liberal. Islamism must be opposed by any and every sane person in society - it has consumed entire countries in our region. And it has not ended well for them. India must push back, with clarity and conviction.

Sindh did the partition in an exemplary manner. Every single hindu, down to the last, emigrated out to India. No violence, no riots. Wonder why such a clean, orderly operation wasnt carried out in the rest of the subcontinent?

This is so true.

I fell in love with this sentence: “Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach.”

I have thought about this a lot and I don’t have a good answer to this. Islam provides a lot of fodder: patriarchy, misogyny, anti trans, anti gay. Islam actually is directly at odds with all left liberal viewpoints. But I think their brains glitch with Islam because successful = evil trumps everything. It is easier to hate Indians because they are visible as CEOs, politicians. Same for Jews. Christians because they are the majority. There isn’t a good enough reason to hate Islam. Which really shows that they have the most simplistic ideology possible: success = evil.

India is perhaps the only country where real stories of Kashmiri Pandit genocide by Islamist terrorists in The Kashmir Files and IC814 hijacking, Mumbai 26/12 attack & Parliament Attack by Pakistani Jaish/Lashkar terrorists in Dhurandhar are called “propaganda” & “political”.

Many women could have healthy and successful relationships or marriages if their friends and family or someone could look her in the eye and say, “You’re wrong,” “This is your fault,” “You should go and apologize,” The fear of hurting women’s feelings has conditioned friends and family to lie or sugarcoat the truth. It’s one reason why women repeatedly turn to therapy. And while therapy can be helpful, many therapists are hesitant to confront women with harsh truths because doing so might risk the client leaving. As a result, sessions often focus on validating feelings rather than addressing accountability, which keeps the cycle going. Without honesty from those around them, emotional immaturity persists, and they continue seeking external validation in ways that don’t solve the underlying issues.

The only marriages that survive decades are the ones where both people outgrow their illusions, not each other. A few hard truths most couples avoid: At some point, love becomes logistics. If you can handle bills, stress, ageing parents, health scares and bad days without turning into enemies, you’ve already won half the battle. Rituals matter. Not the Instagram kind…the tiny, boring, consistent ones. Eating together. Checking in. Saying the difficult thing before it becomes poison. Respect ages better than passion. Desire fluctuates…dignity doesn’t. If your partner can trust your tone even in conflict, the marriage will breathe. Don’t chase perfection…chase awareness. Most marriages break not because people change, but because they stop noticing each other’s changes. And finally learn to fight clean. The goal is to solve the problem, not win the argument. Long marriages are not fairy tales. They’re two people choosing maturity over impulse again and again even on the days they don’t feel like it.

On 26th November 2008, Mumbai was tested in ways no one could have imagined. The loss was profound, and the pain still lingers. But what followed was a resolve to rebuild, to fight back, and to carry on. It was a day that brought out the best in us - compassion, bravery, and unity. Today, we remember those we lost and honour the countless heroes!

Women literally cannot understand anything that isn’t directly tied to being a woman, which is why the whole idea of emotional intelligence and maturity is completely stupid. That’s why you will see women encouraging men to be more vulnerable, emotional, and expressive….not just because it benefits the man, but because it makes his behavior easier for them to interpret through a framework they already understand. This is why when single women raise their sons, they encourage emotional habits more common in girls, which can lead to boys who are overly emotional or dependent…often called “mama’s boys.” Men, on the other hand, usually understand both male and female expectations better, which is why fathers tend to guide their children more clearly. This is why strong father-child relationships always shape kids in traditional ways: daddy’s girls grow into more feminine women, and father’s sons grow into more masculine men.

For the first time, our struggles are entering the mainstream conversation, and that alone brings a strange relief. The possibility of reform feels like oxygen after decades of suffocation. It gives hope that our daughters, and the daughters who come after them, may not inherit the same silence. And for that, we owe gratitude to women like Benazir Heena—who fight, despite the cost, to set the precedent that should have been ours long ago

The Hindu community was accused of casteism, and for almost a century the community has made tangible changes and systems, and sacrifices, to overcome this. The Muslim community, worldwide, stands accused of spawning terrorism. What tangible changes or systems or sacrifices have they come up with to overcome this, except playing the victim and the bogey of “Islamophobia”? 🤔 #justasking

If babies understood embarrassment, most of them would never learn to walk or speak because of the amount of failure required to improve. This was one of our first lessons in life but somehow, we forgot
