Two kinds of students crack IITs
1. So inherently smart, they put Ramanujan to shame.
2. So hard working, they put donkeys to shame.
I used to be a fan boy of type 1 when I was preparing.
Now after 10 years of graduating from IIT I see the second type a lot more successful
@sidduu96 Namibia is one of the most isolated coasts in the world with barely any vegetation to attract land prey for the Lions. It is a wonder how they have survived for so many generations.
@TweetinderKaul Great bowling from New Zealand & ordinary stroke play from England. Later it was an excellent spell from Ollie Robinson, the bats didn't have a chance.
Graeme Smith is an elegant stroke maker? He is the ugliest looking great batsman to ever play test cricket. It is a separate matter that he was very effective.

Mahipalpur in Delhi has around 150 hotels operating in very close proximity to each other. They advertise on websites as โaerocity hotelsโ, but when you actually get there, you find many small hotels cramped cheek by jowl in narrow gullies that a fire engine cannot access. The rooms are small, windows permanently shut due to AC. It is a fire trap. @gupta_rekha@DelhiPolice@KapilMishra_IND
A foreign tourist created chaos in Dharamshalaโs busy market, threw vegetables from vendorsโ stalls, damaged property, and even misbehaved with a female police officer before being arrested.
If an Indian tourist had done this abroad, it would be global headlines, lectures on culture, and endless social media outrage.
The same standards should apply to everyone.
#WATCH | On the 2010 IPL Kochi scandal, IPL founder and first chairman Lalit Modi says, "Sonia Gandhi was backing Shashi Tharoor. I got calls from Ahmed Patel and Pranab Mukherjee in those days. You had that p@** Rajeev Shukla coming up to me and say 'Chalo Ahmed Patel aa raha hai.'... How can somebody pay $350 million for a team, that is the Kochi consortium, where 75 % of the shareholders are paying 100% of the cost?... Every dollar that comes in revenue, she would be getting 15% of the money... I knew this was going to collapse... Two years down the line, it collapsed... I did not sign the agreement because I wanted to meet every member of the consortium. The meeting took place in Bangalore. All the shareholders were there except for the lady, Sunanda Pushkar. I'm looking at this agreement, and by the way, I had no idea who she was... I'm asking these consortium members. You're giving away 25% shares to a lady called Sunanda Pushkar. Who is she?... I said I am not going to sign this agreement till I know who Sunanda Pushkar is. The minute I said that, I got a call from Shashi Tharoor... He said, Lalit, don't ask about Sunanda Pushkar. He was a good friend of mine. He said, If you do, I will have you raided in the morning. I said who the hell do you think you are? You may be the foreign minister of India, but don't you dare ever tell me this. I banged on the phone, and I said I will not sign it. Hell broke loose. It's two o'clock in the morning. Then I get a call, you can verify this, from Shashank Manohar, as president of BCCI, who never interfered. A very nice man. He said, Lalit, you will sign this agreement today... Now I never defy authority... I told him that I will be signing this agreement under duress, and I will point out that the President is forcing me to sign the agreement... The next day, I get up in the morning, and every newspaper, front page, 'Sunanda Pushkar getting married to Shashi Tharoor.' Now I knew why I had to sign it."

What happened in Malviya Nagar is not just a tragedy, it is a mass murder. A mass murder by the Hotel Owner & the various Municipal & Development Authorities who had been bribed to create such structures. This Hotel was usually used by attendants of patients at Max Saket. Imagine coming to Delhi with dreams of treating your loved ones and being consumed in flames. And of-course this is probably 1 of 1000s of such structures in Delhi. A tragedy waiting to happen at any given point of time.
