Given the way @instagram is being weaponized in India - perhaps it is time to ban it and other @Meta products too.
No consideration whatsoever must be made for foreign owned online platforms that stoke unrest and hatred in Indian society. Tik Tok was kicked out India - Instagram should be treated no differently.
What happened during the past few days:
- C-DAC officially moved its indigenous Nvidia-class AI inference chip into design validation trials with HCL Infosystems
- Tata Electronics confirmed they will start trial & commercial chip production at their flagship Dholera fab using 90nm & 55nm tech
- PM Modi officially flagged off India’s 1st indigenously developed hydrogen fuel cell passenger train at a baseline fare starting at just ₹5
- Vikram-1's successful launch
...But No, Let Us Discuss Face Wash...
I do not know this handle is mocking/not but a few are taking a highly effective, generic Salicylic Acid dermatological treatment (₹46.88 for the 1% version & ₹65.63 for the 2% version comparing to ~₹300 commercial corporate alternatives) launched under the Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana & mocking it as an act of frivolous cosmetic governance.
Also, deliberately ignoring that the same program is actively saving millions of families from predatory corporate pricing on lifesaving cardiac & anti-diabetic meds.
Hating a political dispensation is a personal right, but letting that bias blind us is the key issue here.
There are two Indias
Of dreamers and doers like Sarvam and Skyroot
And of victimhood mentality folks like Ambedkarites and leftists
One trying to take India into a new century. The other stuck with old dogmas
Friend of 6 years who once went on multiple trips with me and whose wedding I was invited in, blocked me and removed me from all socials because I didn't post stories supporting the CJP or Sonam Wangchuk.
Not at all sad, but happy to be vindicated that the leftist scum do not believe in opinions co-existing like the RW does.
This is the one good thing that came out of these protests.
Why are big RW leaning accounts going "I support Sonam Wangchuk sir but not Dipke" on Instagram? Call him out for what he is. Call out the unrest he caused in Ladakh. Call out his appeal to put Ladakh in Schedule VI and its impact. Stop simping after him. The man is no saint.
@SamRoy84 Absolutely agreed on the competition part although standard is questionable. Not questioning Argentina’s inspirational comebacks here but when it comes to Fergie time, few did it better than his United teams (and it was a regular event for 20+ years not just a few games).
Stop scrolling and just take 20 seconds to read this. Then share it with development coaches!
We’ve translated the lip reading from this excellent insight between Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni and central midfielder Leandro Paredes.
So many coaches try to control everything.
Scaloni does something different.
He listens. He includes. Then he manages the situation around what his players see, feel and need on the pitch.
In this clip, Paredes explains that he is struggling to progress the ball because the opposition number nine is starting close to him and blocking the passing lanes based on the angles of support Paredes offers from central areas.
His solution?
He needs an extra centre back so one of them can step forward.
That will either allow the centre backs to build the play themselves, or attract the number nine towards them, freeing Paredes to receive in space and take control of the game.
He asks Scaloni to introduce an extra centre back to support that build up, believing it is the best way for Argentina to regain and retain control of the game.
Scaloni listens, and immediately begins working on the solution.
Throughout the World Cup, the cameras repeatedly captured Lionel Messi discussing on field problems with Scaloni and explaining how he believed they could be solved.
That is not a weakness in the manager.
That is leadership. Empowering others making them feel more attached to the objective.
An environment where players are included in the planning.
Not robots blindly following instructions.
Footballers.
THINKERS.
DECISION MAKERS.
THIS IS FOOTBALL, Decision makers!
Develop decision makers. Get instructive control freaks out of development football!!
The game is a constant series of problems and decisions. If players are always waiting for answers from the sideline, they will never reach their full potential, individually or collectively.
Coach the player.
Develop the thinker.
