My therapist once said "growth is realizing that someone's inconsistency is a sign to step back, not a challenge to prove your worth" and i think y'all need to engrave this into your soul.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Give your mind a break. From people. From phones. From the constant hustle of life. Spend some alone time just with yourself. Do nothing. Be bored. Stare at a crack in the wall. Look out the window. Watch how shadows move. Listen to a piece of music that's 300 years old. Read Hegel. Read Aristotle. Read Dostoevsky. The minds that are still relevant today. Slow down enough to experience things deeply again. Don't consume something just because it's trending. Be loyal to your own curiosities. Your own interests. Your own idiosyncrasies. If you want to live a life that feels alive, protect the parts of yourself this world keeps trying to distract you from.

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

there is something incredibly satisfying about reading the first page of a book, and immediately something in your brain sits up and goes 'oh, i'm going to like this' — and then every subsequent page proves you right.

Le dije a mi terapeuta:

“Me siento más segura cuando hago todo sola”.

Ella ni siquiera preguntó por qué.
Ella simplemente me miró con calma y dijo:

What you do in private, shows in public. Reading shows in a conversation. Your diet shows in energy. Your discipline shows in confidence. Your focus shows in your results. You are what you cultivate when no one is watching. Prioritize your time & focus on discipline/consistency.

A mistake that cost me 5 years: Thinking preparation was progress. Reading every book. Taking every course. Planning every detail. Meanwhile, someone dumber than me started badly and figured it out. Preparation feels productive but it's often just fear dressed up as strategy. You learn to swim by getting in the water, not by studying water.

When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination.
A closed book is a closed mind.
Don't EVER stop reading.

At some point, usually in your 20s, you'll notice that the people around you stop believing in themselves. And no matter how hard you try, you can't save them. By all means, do not let it infect your mind. Stay on your path.

My entire friend group went to Goa this weekend.
I stayed back, opened LeetCode at 11pm, and solved 3 graph problems before midnight.
No, I'm not going to pretend that was fun. But here's what nobody tells you about doing this at 23.

The FOMO is real. The loneliness is real. But so is the compounding.

Every weekend I stayed in, I wasn't missing out. I was building a gap. A gap between where I am and where I was six months ago. A gap between me and the person who only shows up when it's convenient.

I'm not grinding because I hate fun. I'm grinding because I've seen what happens to engineers who coast at 23 and wake up at 27 wondering why they're stuck.

The Goa photos looked amazing. My DSA sheet also looked amazing.
Both can be true. I just chose one this weekend.

Why Must Hindu Rituals Always Prove Themselves to Be Respected?

#longthread

A Christian lights a candle in church - it’s devotion.
A Muslim bows in prayer - it’s discipline.
But a Hindu lights a diya or chants a mantra - the world asks,

“Is this even scientific?”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Do you even know the logic?”

Why? Why are Hindu rituals always forced to prove their worth?

Let’s break this down - not with anger, but with truth.

[blue @bluewmist]

we have normalised overconsumption. listening to a podcast while we walk, scrolling reels in the toilet, listening to music while we cook, watching a show on Netflix while we eat. it’s as if there is NO breathing space for your mind. you’re constantly trying to fill the void, the stillness and yet here you’re complaining about feeling groggy and demotivated.

CA Akshatha Pai, a brilliant mind from a humble Mulki family, passed her CA in 1st attempt, was recently married & working in tech. Tragically, she lost her life in the recent Bengaluru stamped. May her soul rest in peace 🙏

@OlaElectric pathetic behaviour Bangalore branch keeps calling me from different numbers as well harassing me by this point even after me constantly telling them not to call and I’m not interested in buying.
If I get a call once more I’m filing a complaint.

@tanmayvanpersie @afc_anubhav And I just got it for 150 for 3months. 3 days back it was 300 for 3 months.

Do you know the alphabets of Bhartiya language ​​are scientific ?

Each letter of the alphabet is logical & is placed sequentially with precise calculations.

◆ क ख ग घ ङ This group of 5 is called 'kanthavya' or 'kanthya', because the sound comes out of the throat while pronouncing it.

◆ च छ ज झ ञ - These five are called "Talavya" because the tongue touches the palate while pronouncing it.
