Here's what nobody tells Indian students before choosing Germany
Cost of MS in Germany: €0 tuition + ~€800/month living = ~₹10-12 lakh total for 2 years.
Cost of MS in USA: $50,000-$80,000 tuition alone = ₹40-65 lakh.
Same degree. Same career opportunities. 8x cost difference.
And yet 10x more Indians choose USA over Germany.
Why? Because nobody told them this.

This is a serious issue. That ball was 145+ and Vaibhav was inches away from a life threatening hit, these helmets doesn't provide full safety do something @BCCI@rajasthanroyals
Emotional moment in the Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans match 😭
• The match had ended.
• Everyone was shaking hands and heading back.
• But Vaibhav Sooryavanshi stood on the field for nearly a minute, as if he didn't want to leave the ground.
A typical childhood 😭💔
If Vaibhav Sooryavanshi doesn't make his India debut within the next six months, the only explanation will be board politics and powerful lobbies interfering with selection decisions.
Most of us in our childhood used to imagine getting selected for the Indian team: a final against Aussie, McGrath bowling, first ball six, second six, third six... and so on, reaching the fastest hundred, with everyone shocked, "Who's this new sensation?"
Vaibhav Suryawanshi is living that dream!
A 29-ball 97 today with 12 sixes and a strike rate of 334! What a generational talent! Hope he gets into the national T20 and ODI side ASAP and isn't held back by selectors' old-school thinking like, "Give him more time," "He's not ready," or "Let him mature."
Man, he is in a form that many top players couldn't match even at their peak. The right time is now, not after waiting for some imaginary "maturity" certificate.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to give away the Orange and Purple Cap after the League Phase?
How’s it fair to have a competition where some players get 17 innings and others 14 innings?
Team doing well is rewarding…and the team must benefit and it does. Bigger pie of the prize-pool. But why individuals have an unfair advantage?
Why are we living? What is the purpose? What comes after this life? Why does anything exist at all? There are no universally accepted scientific answers to these questions.
The most common material explanation can feel emotionally unsettling: that life is simply a temporary biological process. One day it ends, consciousness disappears, and you cease to exist. Not only do you die, but your awareness itself vanishes. You won't even know that you no longer exist because the very thing that experiences, remembers, and feels would be gone.
For many people, that thought creates an existential vacuum. Belief in God fills that vacuum with meaning. Life becomes a journey rather than a random event. Suffering can have purpose. Death becomes a transition rather than absolute erasure. Instead of "I exist briefly and then disappear forever," it becomes "I am here for a reason and my existence has meaning beyond the physical."
Whether God exists or not is a separate debate, nor am I urging anyone to believe in God, but psychologically it is understandable why faith can make people happier. It offers answers where uncertainty can feel frightening, and certainty itself gives the mind rest.
The most famous YouTuber in India and his following is 90% from India's location. But still he couldn't reach 11 million in a week. He took almost more than a year to breach 10 million on Insta.
The Cockroach Janta Party reached 8 Million in a week because their audience is not India based.
Their Audience is the same as Dhruv Rathee's audience, all from "South Asian countries"

"Modi has not done a single press conference in 12 years."
So what?
Not taking questions from the press is not some moral crime in itself. The media is not a council of high priests conducting a legitimacy exam that every Prime Minister must clear for democratic certification.
In a democracy, legitimacy comes from public mandate and governance, not from standing before cameras to satisfy a section of the media that mistakes access for accountability.
As such, today's media ecosystem is not some sacred, neutral institution operating above politics. Much of it is deeply polarized. Different political camps have their favorite journalists, narratives, and ecosystems. Questions are designed less to seek answers and more to manufacture headlines, extract viral moments, or build personal brands.
And those who hold frequent press conferences are not automatically standing on higher moral ground either. We have all seen planted easy questions from pliable journalists and difficult questions brushed aside with “aap rival party ki bhasha mat boliye,” deflections, or outright evasions.
The number of press conferences a leader does is not a certificate of transparency. Otherwise, by that logic, Trump, who interacts with the press almost daily, should automatically be considered the most transparent, most democratic, and the finest leader in the world.
Today is the beginning of Adhik Maas.
Ancient Indian astronomers realized that the lunar year is ~11 days shorter than the solar year. Without correction, festivals and seasons would slowly drift apart.
Their solution was Adhik Maas, an extra month added roughly every 32.5 months to create a self-correcting calendar system based on actual celestial motion.
One of the world’s oldest living examples of scientific timekeeping integrated with civilizational life.
