Football is and forever will be a team game. An individual, even the greatest ever, can never carry you completely.
Think of Messi and all the heartbreak he endured with Argentina at the absolute peak of his powers.
It took him until the very end of his career to finally enjoy ultimate sucess with the national team, and it wouldn’t have been possible without a great coach and a squad that plays for him.
A lot of the discourse around this current Argentine side frames them as Messi and a bunch of mediocrity, and I think that’s extremely misguided.
El bendito destino decidió que en su ultimo mundial, Messi juegue por primera vez contra Inglaterra en semifinales y la final sea contra España, el país que rechazó para cumplir su sueño de jugar con Argentina.
UNA MAS LEO, UNA MAS Y NOS VAMOS 👑🇦🇷
No regrets, no second thoughts. Just pure psychopathy. Should ideally get the death penalty but India has a gynocentric legal system so will get out in max 2-3 years. Will then leave the country and live abroad for rest of her life in style. There will be a feminist Netflix series made to show her as victim of circumstances in the next 2 years.
So basically, Siya Goyal's mother and entire family knew about everything.
Siya went to clubs, partied, and slept around.
When she fell in love with the shopkeeper's unemployed son, Chetan,
her mother hid her daughter's past and got her marriage fixed to innocent, rich Ketan.
This happens all the time in Indian society.
Parents don't control their daughters, and when they go out of hand and start an affair or get pregnant,
they hide everything and quickly fix their marriage.
Such parents deserve to be punished too.
People throw garbage from BMWs too, but there are far fewer BMW owners than not-BMW owners.
Rich travelers litter too but there’s far less litter in AC2 than in sleeper.
Privileged NRIs spit too but Southhall isn’t as gutkha-stained as Red Fort.
It feels noble and moral to level the accusation field but reality doesn’t agree. Dehat, whichever way you slice it, remains the biggest curse upon this land. As someone said, it’s easy to fault the rich, but do you have the guts to call out the poor?
But until you muster that courage, this is what our trains will continue to look like.
The lower classes, I mean.
The absolute horror of the Siya-Ketan incident lies in the sickening asymmetry between them: Ketan’s pure, almost childlike innocence paired against Siya’s hollow, predatory sociopathy.
Four days before he died, Siya had already tried to murder him by shoving him off a cliff. Ketan survived only because a stray tree branch broke his fall. But he was so hopelessly, blindly in love that he swallowed her absurd lie whole, she claimed she saw a snake and panicked, pushing him away to "protect" him.
Instead of feeling suspicion, Ketan felt profound gratitude. He hugged his near-executioner, thanked her for saving his life, and proudly recounted the story to his mother and relatives. The entire family praised Siya as a hero.
To possess even a shred of humanity means you would be crushed by guilt after such an act. Watching a completely innocent person, someone whose only crime was loving you blindly, thank you for attempting to end his life should break a normal human psyche.
But Siya is a different breed of monster. Looking at Ketan’s grateful smile, she didn't feel remorse; she felt irritation. Her only regret was her own poor execution. She didn't see a human being; she saw unfinished business. Four days later, she lured him right back to the edge of that same cliff. This time, she brought reinforcements, her boyfriend. Together, they finished what she had started. Imagine the horror and betrayal Ketan would have faced in last few seconds of his life!
Siya has forfeited her right to exist in a civilized society. Yet, under our flawed justice system, she will likely walk free in ten to fourteen years. She will go on to build a comfortable, quiet life with her accomplice or some new, unsuspecting victim, completely unburdened by an ounce of remorse, carrying the secret of Ketan's final, terrified moments like a casual memory.
Give gaalis to ‘Gujaratis’ 24/7, but get your daughter married off at Jio convention center, curse Ambani-Adani 24/7, but invite both of them as honoured guests. Call RSS ‘communal’, but get your daughter married into a RSS family and invite Mohan Bhagwatji to bless the couple. Talk about ‘austerity’, and ‘farmers distress’ but spend crores at a wedding. It is great to be a politician in India today! You are not expected to walk the talk at all, and you can STILL play politics!
"Mera ling, meri marzi. Mera gender, meri marzi. Mere kapde, meri marzi."
This is from a protest supposedly held in support of NEET students.
Whatever the protest may be, farm laws, CAA, NRC, pro-Naxal causes, wrestlers' protests, inflation, corruption, Palestine, etc., this JNU group somehow shows up with its gender issues and make it about themselves.
Why, though? Live your life. Nobody is stopping you from identifying as whatever you want or dressing however you want. As far as individual trolling is concerned, you have to deal with it. Everyone gets mocked in India, and everyone deals with it. If people started being jailed for calling each other names or hurling insults, almost everyone would be in jail.
You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.
There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.
The Govt has banned Telegram in India until June 22 over the use of the app by 'cheating rackets' for NEET-UG.
The Babu or the minister whose "big brain" idea this was should get the Param-Chaantt award.
They are assuming that the cheating network and their clients don't understand what a VPN is and can't access Telegram through one.
They think that because the paper was shared on Telegram last time, if it is leaked, it will only be shared on Telegram again. Are Discord, Signal, and WhatsApp a joke to them?
So, why not make your system foolproof and make leaks impossible instead of banning a mode of communication? Because it's a slippery slope. If the paper leaks and is shared tomorrow, you'll ban other apps too, and eventually the whole internet. But then again, papers were leaked and shared long before the internet era, too.
