🚴♂️ New research confirms: Cycling is a powerful brain booster.
A fresh U.S. study analyzing data from 19 countries found that regular cycling leads to enhanced cognitive functioning.
Beyond the well-known perks (stress relief, better mood, fitness, and social connections), hopping on a bike appears to sharpen your mind and support long-term brain health.
Annamalai’s speech today is a promising start. It comes across as humble, earnest and a genuine effort to bring real change to Tamil Nadu politics. I especially appreciated these points:
1. Rejection of any cult of personality.
2. The principle that “no chair is permanent” – giving everyone only an opportunity and not lifelong politics.
3. Emphasis on grassroots work and empowering local body members to deliver basic civic amenities.
4. Merit over caste, money or family in choosing leaders and candidates.
5. The clear initiative to train leaders at every level, including the grassroots.
6. Bringing domain experts and technocrats into administration.
7. Starting as an open volunteer-driven movement rather than launching a ready-made party.
This is encouraging. What I hope to see next is leaders trained to understand they are not the centre of attention. Their true role is to become invisible and irrelevant so that the real producers of wealth can step forward and occupy the limelight.
Leaders must focus on removing every obstacle to production and free trade, while inspiring the next generation that honest productive work is the highest calling in life.
Politicians and leaders should ensure the government stays minimal, limited to basic civic amenities, law and order, and the judiciary, while privatising infrastructure and other functions wherever possible.
Tamil Nadu desperately needs a vision of prosperity through liberty and ultra-minimal government.
Wishing @annamalai_k strength in building “We The Leaders.”
Most husbands give some details not to have their wife worried. The husband has nothing to do with giving incorrect information to the wife.
All the details are in SM and media.
An NRI came to Chennai and stayed for three days in his ancestral home, which had been locked and opened only during family visits.
We cleaned the house and made everything ready. About an hour before his arrival, we switched on the AC in his bedroom so he could walk into a comfortable space.
When he arrived and I handed over the keys, I mentioned that the AC was already running. He quickly said it wasn’t needed and that he could manage with just the fan.
Later, his wife called us from the US to thank us. She even mentioned how thoughtful it was to switch on the AC in advance, as it had made him comfortable the moment he entered.
That moment said a lot. It seemed he had told her a completely different story about life here — that everything is messy and unlivable, and that they are better off never returning to India.
At that moment, @svembu’s call came to mind — urging NRIs to return and help build India.
Maybe the real question is not whether India is worth coming back to, but whether we are ready to see it as it truly is.
@crackingnoose@zenx It's the civic sense which should be targeted and improved not the practice and rituals.
Can you find the guys who brought in so many plastic bags into market? cannot, so let us focus on other part.
All liberals have problem only with Hindus.
If I had trained I will go for the summit does not matter the waiting time.
Anyone completing the whole climb in my opinion is eligible for talking on and off LinkedIn.
Yesterday 274 people pushed for the summit of Mount Everest just to give their LinkedIn profile the edge.
Horrendous.

Maybe wish list will have on top songs like one which don't feel vulgar but can feel the vibe
