Most beautiful thing you'll see today.
What real love looks like from an older man, and it brings a younger one to tears.
In a world full of Instagram nonsense, this is love.
A mentor once told me this: Fall in love with feeling like a work in progress. Resist the urge to look polished. You don’t need to pretend you have it all figured out. Nobody does. Embrace your unfinished form. Just commit to getting a better each day and trust where it leads.
The most effective ambitious people have *internal* drivers, not external ones.
They may want external things, have external goals, but their engine runs on unlimited fuel.
Just like how one person in the family can pull them out of poverty, same way in an obese overweight family, if one person drops 20kg, the entire family gets healthier eventually. It takes time but it happens.
I think there are two types of optimism:
1. Passive Optimism
2. Active Optimism
Passive Optimism is exclusively about belief. The belief that things will work out. Blind faith.
Active Optimism is about belief that begets action. The belief that things will work out, and the action to make sure they do. Earned faith.
Passive Optimism fails for the same reason Pessimism does. Because it doesn’t move. The passive optimist does nothing because he thinks he doesn’t have to.
And the reality is that Passive Optimism can often masquerade as patience, faith, or even wisdom. It’s the career path that will sort itself out. It’s the relationship struggle that will surely disappear with time. It’s the health issue that will eventually go away.
Belief is great. Faith is great. But without appropriate action, they are a recipe for long-term disappointment.
A mentor once told me this:
Always assume things will work out, then do the work to make it true.
That combination creates a quiet confidence that allows you to tolerate uncertainty better than anything else.
It’s a mindset of Active Optimism. Belief and action.
People think discipline is punishment. It's actually self-compassion extended through time. You're taking care of a future version of yourself you've never met.
The ability to stick to boring food is an underrated fat-loss superpower. People who can eat roughly the same breakfast and lunch most days remove a stream of tiny decisions from the week. When every meal has to be exciting, calorie control becomes a fresh negotiation three times a day. This is a huge problem for many Indians who are traditionally used to eating a masaledaar cocktail of spicy variety in their daily diet.
The leaps of imagination on this app when it comes to pulling down a woman.. just insane how this generation was supposed to do better than the uncles of our time, and now everyone's embraced digital uncledom because your face isn't shown.
One way or the other, @zomato marketing team finds a way to maximize marketing reach. They thoroughly deserve credit.
While twitter (which I guess forms one of the higher spending customer segment - please correct me), was making fun, resharing the copy, and ideating, the end result was and is exactly what the Zomato team probably expected.
Sure, maybe it's easier to say this in hindsight. But I think they find ways to do this well.
Happy birthday, Zomato. While I am not a customer. I respect your skills. ♥️
What is with 40 year old people saying they will compound wealth over decades? How many decades you gonna live bro? At 70 your late night party has 5 people - including your nurse. And it stops at 7PM.
Life is now. Are you living?
Should everyone take Evion 400 (Vitamin E 400 mg) daily?
There has been an ill-informed advice online recommending vitamin E supplements for everyone. Read this post to understand the scientific evidence regarding who needs vitamin E.
1. Everyone does not need vitamin E supplements
Despite its popularity, there is no good evidence that healthy adults should routinely take 400 mg of vitamin E every day, irrespective of symptoms or vitamin E levels.
2. What does vitamin E do?
Vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage and supports immune function. But "essential" does not mean "more is better." Most healthy people can obtain enough through a balanced diet.
3. Is there evidence that everyone benefits from Evion 400?
No.
Large randomized trials have not shown consistent benefits of high-dose vitamin E supplementation for preventing heart attack, stroke, cancer, or dementia, or for increasing longevity.
Routine supplementation is not recommended for healthy adults.
4. Who may actually need vitamin E supplements?
Only selected people need vitamin E supplements, usually under medical supervision:
✅Proven vitamin E deficiency
✅Fat-malabsorption disorders (such as cystic fibrosis, cholestatic liver disease, some intestinal disorders)
✅Rare genetic disorders affecting vitamin E metabolism
For most others, supplementation offers little or no proven benefit.
5. Could high-dose vitamin E be harmful?
Yes.
🔴Long-term high-dose supplementation has been associated with:
🔴Increased bleeding risk (especially with aspirin, clopidogrel, or anticoagulants)
🔴Higher risk of hemorrhagic stroke in some studies
🔴Increased prostate cancer risk in one large trial of men taking 400 IU/day
🔴Some meta-analyses suggested a small increase in all-cause mortality with high-dose supplementation, although this remains debated.
6. How much vitamin E do adults actually need?
🔸Adults need about 15 mg/day of alpha-tocopherol.
🔸Compare that with Evion 400, which contains 400 mg of vitamin E (over 25 times the daily requirement).
7. The best sources of vitamin E are foods, not pills.
✅Excellent natural sources include almonds, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, peanuts, avocado, sunflower, safflower and wheat germ oils, spinach and other green leafy vegetables.
🔸Vitamin E from foods has not been linked to harm.
Bottom line
Do not confuse antioxidant with anti-aging. If you are healthy and eating a balanced diet, taking Evion 400 every day is unlikely to make you healthier, and may expose you to unnecessary risks.
