Jimmy Carr nails why modern relationships feel so heavy:
“90% of arguments between couples are one person saying to the other: ‘You are not enough people.’ We expect our partner to be everything—best friend, lover, therapist, adventure buddy, emotional support, entertainment source, life coach… all in one.
But it takes a village—not just to raise a kid, but to live a full life. You need friends, colleagues, people you see regularly. Without that wider circle, the pressure on one person becomes crushing.”
Short 37-second clip embedded — Jimmy’s blunt delivery makes it hit home.
Modern love isn’t failing because we’re broken.
It’s failing because we’re asking one person to be the whole village.
Who else feels this? Or who’s built a real village around their relationship?
India in the last five days.
20 kids die in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan from tainted cough syrups that were cleared by the Government Health Regulator. The doctor who prescribed the medicine was arrested. The Drug Controller who cleared the poisons for public use and the Health Minister of the States remain unaccountable and free.
A 9 year old child in Kerala died of a rare brain infection caused by a parasite which has nearly 97% death rate in the world. The father of the dead child split open the scalp and skull of the treating doctor blaming him for the child's death. The doctor's condition is critical.
What the f*ck is wrong with the Indian public?
Government killed 20 kids and people are ok with it?
The Governance is not the problem in this country. The people are. Brainwashed illiterates and educated fools have made mediocrity their new standard and become flaccid spectators to colossal wastage of public funds and embracing lack of responsibility & accountability.
The very high approachability (direct to sub-specialist by anyone, anywhere) of medical & health services in this country has made medical and health and its providers a cheap commodity. Sometimes I wish India was like USA or the UK where public are forced to understand the value of healthcare workers and healthcare services.
എൻ്റെ മകൻ (7 years) ഓടിക്കളിക്കുന്നത് കാണുമ്പോ എൻ്റെ കുട്ടിക്കാലത്തെ കുറിച്ച് ഓർമ്മ വരും..
I always wonder how innocent our kids are..
They cheer without knowing the harshness of the world that waits for them...

Underrated life advice: Do what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus deeply. Move daily. Be present. Have difficult conversations. Do what you say you’re going to do. Recipe for a good life.
Sensible parents is your first and most important stroke of luck.
Getting sensible kids (or realising that your kids are good enough) is second.
Realising these two as most important things in life is third.
You don’t need to change everything. Just the next thing. Drink the water. Write the paragraph. Take the walk. Small wins compound fast. You can change your entire life by simply stacking 10-minute increments of doing the next right thing.
Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. Your entire life will change the moment you stop looking for more information and start acting on the information you already have. Always get your dopamine from action.
