8/10
If you are an outdoorsy person, STAY in the US.
If you cannot live without hiking, biking or love frequenting beaches, you will not be very happy here.
India, on the other hand, makes it incredibly convenient to stay, workout & find leisure in indoor activities.
Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.
Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.
Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.
Make these habits.
Say no to everything else.
Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media
Relax.
Victory is assured.

@RailMinIndia, I am currently in NE Express (12506) and Today's journey from Delhi is hours overdue and still to reach aligarh, and yesterday's train is still stuck in Patna. Urgent intervention needed to address this unusual delay. Please resolve this. #RailwayDelay#12506Delay
In 1996, an unidentified 8-year-old boy slipped away from his mother, climbed over a barrier, and fell into the Gorilla Enclosure.
Due to the 20 ft fall, the boy broke his hand and suffered a deep laceration to his face. Seven gorillas inhabited the enclosure. Gorillas are known to be fiercely territorial animals.
They will fight to the death to defend their families. However, one of the gorillas, called Binti Jua, meaning “daughter of sunshine” went over to the boy and cradled him in her arms, all while her own young child was on her back.
She then went over to the edge of the enclosure and waited for the zookeepers to come and collect the child.
Binti handed the child over peacefully before returning to the rest of the gorillas. Binti received worldwide praise and received regular treats for the next few weeks.
The boy and the mother have never been identified, but the boy did stay in a hospital for 4 days.
Animal behavioral experts claim Binti used her maternal instincts to look after the child. This may have been influenced by the fact that she had her own baby Gorilla with her at the time.

Congress won Karnataka by promising 5 things:
[1] GRUHA JYOTHI: 200 units of free electricity per month to every household.
[2] GRUHA LAKSHMI SCHEME: ₹2,000/month to every woman head of household.
[3] UCHITA PRAYANA: Free bus travel for all women across the state of Karnataka.
[4] YUVA NIDHI: ₹3,000/month for unemployed graduates & ₹1,500/month for unemployed diploma holders.
[5] ANNA BHAGYA: Free 10 kg of rice per person per month to BPL families.
This will cost 50,000 Crore.
Before you gasp, understand:
That Congress basically copied AAP's strategy from Delhi.
With more elections on the way, the freebie political strategy will become more extravagant. Politicians will make bigger and better promises.
If history teaches us anything, it is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone always pays the tab.
In this case, that 'someone' is the one who is able to read and understand this tweet-- a middle class tax paying Indian, waiting for better days.
