TIL, there was an Indian connection with the 9/11 incident involving the kidnapping of the owner of Khadim's shoes.

Taste in food comes from either fat or sugar.
Higher protein = worse taste.
If your protein supplement tastes nice, you can be sure that a lot of things are added to it for making it taste better.

Sawera fraudcast of @AmmadButt96. One should really learn the art of making things up from Inbreds. Apparently HI was ready to give 1C to EACH player (16C) to beat Inbreds in the (in)famous CT 14 SF in kalinga. HI gave 15L for Paree bronze but 12 yrs ago they were gonna give 1C.

Dalle!

Gagabhatta was there for pilgrimage after Aurangzeb destroyed Kashi Vishwanath. He himself suggested Aindrabhisheka as Hindupat Patshah challange to Aurangzeb.

Gagabhatta already had relations with CSMs father. He stayed in maratha empire after it and wrote books.

[Nar-Narayan @Badrinath2012]

@KarikadaiBoy I think it is more among 70s gen than 80s and 90s. Because 90s born have seen India repeatedely defeating Pak in ICC tournaments and Sharjah venue was banned in 2001 by GOI.

While many keep on cribbing about "No Job Creation" in #India
It's because they look at the traditional IT sector only
They are many job creation drivers which not only include GCC's which many track but across sectors

Interesting data I came across today
In 5 yrs between 2020 and 2025 11000 consumer brands were launched, many D to C. Out of them 230 crossed Rs 150 Crores in revenues. Imagine the job creation here.
Young India is creating jobs via Enterpreneurship

Daily reminder that you read the likes of Jared Diamond and Yuval Harari when you're 16-18 and you get astonished by their theses. In a few years, you realize that you had read a good piece of narrative semi-histroical fiction that had a little utility in understanding the world.

Glorious fact-filled journalism by @sportstarweb. SātChi were actually down 9-11 at the 3rd mid-game interval & He/Ren later on extended their lead to 15-12 before our bois fought back to make it 16-all & 17-all. But look at how @the_hindu group describes what happened.

@_orgiesofpride Back to voting for INC, which he did in 2009. 😆

[Nar-Narayan @Badrinath2012]

Unlike Dhoni or Bevan, Kohli didn't use to come to bat after first 30 overs though. Sachin is one of the greatest batsmen ever, but is Kohli in Limited overs Internationals.

[Nar-Narayan @Badrinath2012]

@shrutammegopaya @KarikadaiBoy Resulted in firing of both Mark Taylor and Healy from ODIs.

[Nar-Narayan @Badrinath2012]

@MandrakeMI6 @KarikadaiBoy And Seles with 9 GS titles is not an underachiever and let's not forget d impact of stabbing which occurred at her peak.

[Nar-Narayan @Badrinath2012]

@MandrakeMI6 @KarikadaiBoy Boris Becker equivalent in kirket wud be VVS Laxman or David Gower.

The invention of Real player in 1997 made video streaming over the internet possible

The launch of YouTube in 2005, made video over internet easy and accessible.

2010s - Mainstreaming of Smartphones made video generation accessible to everyone

Snapchat in 2012 - Started the 10 sec short video format

Vine in 2013 - Made the Six Second video as the harbinger for actual short form content

Dubsmash and https://t.co/V3czGUdXK1 in 2014 - Enabled lip sync, remixing, music addition easy

TikTok -Packaged everything in 2016 into a sharp short engaging video format, tailored specifically for smart phones, combined it with a killer recommendation algorithm, and infinite monetisation potential to establish itself as the short form video format standard

It was the first to correlate video and dopamine, which made short form video format more addictive than crack cocaine.

2020 - Instagram Reels and YouTube shorts - Caught up with TikTok and were in no small way helped by the Indian govt banning TikTok.

2024- Short form video is the format of choice for most Indian creators and Instagram is THE social media of choice for most Indians. It gives access, visibility and unlimited monetization capability for creators.

2026 - People are actually cleaning up lakes, rivers, towns, roads and other civic infrastructure in hinterland India as content for reels and shorts.

In this 25 year quest for the perfect video format and platform, one story none of us expected in our wildest dreams is how Short Form Video content generation has led to common people stepping in and solving actual civic issues like cleaning up of rivers and lakes.

These guys want nārangī/Bolsenaro type daily punch dialaaks that produce twatter edits & loffs. Where are they now?

NaMo OTOH wiped out the entire media cabal except for Madison Boxer.

Constipation thāpar, darkha butt, woy, @Ateendriyo's chāchi all are IRRELEVANT. LMAO.
