@Coachjv_ Wow…great

[Coach, JV @Coachjv_]

A man who stays silent while the men around him act unethically cannot claim to be a man of character.

Who you tolerate is a reflection of who you are.

If you allow deception, manipulation, or actions that harm others because you want acceptance, attention, or comfort, you’ve chosen approval over integrity.

That man is a danger to his family, his ecosystem, and his future.

You will never outwork sloppy company. You will become it.

Look carefully at the men around you. Their standards will eventually become yours. If they lack discipline, integrity, and accountability, don’t be surprised when your life begins to reflect the same.

Be ruthless about who you allow into your circle.

Immature men destroy empires.

Mature men build them even if they have to build alone. Character isn’t what you say. It’s what you’re willing to confront, and what you’re no longer willing to tolerate.

@IndiaWeatherMan Agree…. People love to take off on that “all politicians are corrupt/ useless ” without looking at how much life in Mumbai has improved over the last 2-3 years

Shouting racism is really no answer…

Do respond to her points : brown guy here

@rahulpandita Beautifully written….

The events of the 1990s in Kashmir remain an open wound for many of us …

The abject failure of the state, government and Hindu society to protect our brethren within India …

This is about SDPI which is clearly a front for the banned PFI …

Some of the acts connected with the PFI :

2010 Hand-Chopping Attack (Kerala): PFI activists attacked and severed the hand of Professor T.J. Joseph for allegedly setting a question paper with derogatory references to Prophet Muhammad. Kerala Police charged 27 alleged PFI members; some were convicted. This incident brought PFI into national prominence.

• Targeted Killings of Political/RSS/BJP Activists: Kerala government affidavits (2012 and 2014) stated PFI/NDF involvement in 27 murder cases (mostly CPI(M) and RSS cadres), 86 attempt-to-murder cases, and over 100 communal cases in the state. Specific examples include murders of RSS/BJP workers like Sanjith, Nandu, Bibin, Ranjith Sreenivasan (for which 14-15 PFI/SDPI-linked men received death sentences in 2024/2025), and others in tit-for-tat violence.

• Udaipur Beheading (2022, Rajasthan): PFI members were linked to the ISIS-style beheading of tailor Kanhaiya Lal, who had supported controversial remarks by Nupur Sharma.

• Other Notable Murders:
• 2012 stabbing death of ABVP student N. Sachin Gopal (linked to PFI/CFI members).
• 2016 murder of RSS worker R. Rudresh (Bengaluru).
• 2016 murder of Hindu Front spokesperson C. Sasikumar (Coimbatore).
• 2019 murder of PMK worker V. Ramalingam (Tamil Nadu), allegedly over conversion-related interference.

Let’s conveniently forget the background and go around beating the drum for “civil liberties” …..

Where such liberties are sought to be used by evil, violent people to establish a fanatic, inhuman society, applauding the freedom without keeping in mind the background, is not just stupidity : it is collusion.

Amazing work : hearty congratulations ..

Very few cities in the world could have coped with this volume of rain with so little dislocation of normal work…

The work done to flood proof the city in the past is showing great results..

Sad that the narrative is set by two isolated tragic events : but that does not take away from the great work that you are doing.

बावर्ची बनकर आया था, जमाई बनकर बैठ गया।

Put a driver in charge of counting and then blame random people when he steals

Btw, these are all old problems with old solutions : in Kerala temples there used to be a rule that people counting money in the hundis should wear only a traditional towel like cloth while counting the donations….

The Ayodhya Mandir is iconic for all Hindus : to see that mismanaged is heartrending

@ZEE5India You are not reading my post ..

[Balakrishnan B R @balabr]

@ZEE5India Guys, your highlight videos are terrible..

The moves shown are sporadic with the build up to the final moves not being shown resulting in a jarring, jerky experience ..

The worst thing are the goals : again the build up to the goal is never shown and the replay is also cursory. What is shown in great detail is the celebrations after each goal : don’t know who put in your head that people watching highlights actually want to see the celebrations ..

If you want to add ads, do it by increasing the length of the highlight videos, not by cutting out the game itself ..

Perk up guys : you are making a royal mess

@Yashraajsharrma Beautiful summary of the travails of life , of dealing with Maya

Thank you

@grok If a client authorises a payment, the Bank makes it,right? Never seen a bank being held responsible for the client’s action. Is a bank supposed to verify each payment ?

[Balakrishnan B R @balabr]

@grok Please explain the case against BOB : how does a bank become responsible ?

[Balakrishnan B R @balabr]

Interesting : Some of the key actors :

Dronacharya: The large, prominent warrior situated on the far left. He is depicted riding the heavily detailed chariot, actively drawing his bow. You can identify him by the vessel (Kumbha) on his flagstaff. He created the chakra.

Abhimanyu: The small but narratively crucial figure located at the bottom-center left. He is positioned right at the outer opening (the "mouth") of the circular labyrinth, shown crossing the threshold to begin his fight.

Jayadratha : Located at the bottom-center left, right at the entrance of the chakra immediately behind Abhimanyu. While the sculptor did not carve him as a massive standalone figure in this specific panel, this breached opening is the exact location he guarded, using his boon to seal the gap and trap Abhimanyu inside.

The Kaurava Army: The multitude of miniature, interwoven figures forming the dense concentric circles in the center. These represent the soldiers, cavalry, and chariots making up the Chakravyuha formation that Abhimanyu is fighting through.

Bhima: The massive warrior standing on the far right. He is depicted locked outside the formation, holding a large circular shield and raising a heavy mace (gadaa) above his head, unable to get past Jayadratha's blockade at the entrance.

@daarshik108 Great analysis ….

On India’s lagna and eleventh from the natal moon…

Will hopefully set the scene for a dominant Rahu Mahadasha
