When I first met him, out of awe and awkwardness I fiddled with my hair. He slapped my hand away and said 'hero ki tarah Baal mat bana...tu actor hai'!
He didn't flatter you. He didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. He told you what you needed to hear. That was Nana. Straightforward. Rough, honest and had the most beautiful smile.
He always had a strange way of showing affection. He would shout at you first, and then somewhere between the third or fourth insult, you realised you were being hugged. He loved me and I loved him back.
He was a mentor, a teacher, a critic and a friend who beat me and everyone else around him in carrom game after game and relished his victories.  
Nana your intensity, laughter , madness and love will always stay with us. I just wish we had time to have more conversations, another argument, another cup of tea and a game of carrom.
You have left a void not only in the world of cinema but in the hearts of all Indians and the world. All I can say is, I will miss you dearly and carry your words in my heart till the end of time....'hero banne ke chakar mein actor mat khona'
May your soul rest in peace Nana and Allah bless you. The Heavens will be blessed to have you... a masterful actor and an unbeatable carrom champion. Love you and miss you dearly!! Too soon my Hero Actor! RIP.

Why is there no hype for Shivnarine Chanderpaul whenever someone talks about Test cricket? Man scored nearly 12k Test runs with average of 51 that's more runs than Steven Smith btw

[Naveen Kopparam @naveenkopparam]

Average village from Austria.

Wait for the lake to show up.

In India, he wouldn't even be considered for Nobel Prize as he doesn't even wear formal shirts and pants. I know of someone who works in a big Indian corporate who got scolded by his boss in a meeting for wearing Denim pants. That's the level we are at.
Sad.

Mumbai has mastered the art of looking like Manhattan from a distance with a spectacular skyline. But beneath that glossy vertical city lie sprawling slums, broken roads, potholes & crumbling infrastructure.
Mumbai’s skyline-21st century.
Mumbai’s infrastructure-18th century!

🚨 ​Mukesh Kumar demands the ball directly from Sarfaraz Khan and takes a huge wicket right after!

🗣 ​“Just give me One more over and I’ll give you wickets!”

​Calls his own shot, gets the trust, delivers the big breakthrough.

Drishyam 3 director: Sir script bheji hai mili?

Jaideep Ahlawat: Nahi bas ciggerate ke dabbe mile

Director: aapke liye wahi script hai..har dialogue ke baad 2 fookna hai

[Dev Latimer @DevinRN88]

Half the books you were "forced" to read in high school are actually spectacular, you just didn't have the emotional maturity to understand them yet.

I used to be so stressed as an 11-year-old when my teacher told us the ozone layer was getting damaged. 😭😭✋🏿

एक App है Cred करके जिससे आप क्रेडिट कार्ड का बिल पे कर सकते हैं और दूसरे अन्य बिल भी।

उसके बदले में Cred आपको कॉइन देता है। उस कॉइन का क्या यूज़ है यह Cred को भी नहीं पता है, बस दे रहा है।

मेरे पास इसका 11 लाख कॉइन है और मुझे पता नहीं चल रहा है कि इससे प्रॉपर्टी कहां खरीदूं।।

[Neha Patel @Neha_S_Patel]

28-year-old guy earning under 1L is treated like a failure in arrange marriage market.

Parents who bought their first scooter at 35 and first flat at 50 now expect SUV and 3BHK from kids who haven't even completed 6 years of their career.

Mindset is broken beyond repair.

[Vineeth K @DealsDhamaka]

Young men are under pressure

They're working hard to earn more,
- Rents are insane
- Marriage demands feel unrealistic
- Society keeps judging,
- Family wants more time, attention & everything
- Hair loss, Insomnia, early diabetes < 30

It's exhausting & no one talks about it

[Big Timi @OrevaZSN]

why aren’t the robots working in the mines and oil fields and handling toxic chemicals or picking plastic out of the ocean? why are they writing emails and making powerpoint presentations? what the hell are we doing

Ten years from now, having a solo business will feel as normal as having a corporate job.

Why are indians so obsessed with Cricket, they are not even that bad in football.

They just need to lock in and will easily qualify for the world cup
