Over 300,000 people die of drowning each year. In order to protect society, it is now illegal to consume or possess water.

Your government is also considering banning solid food, as it presents a needless choking hazard.
You are not an adult.
You are a baby.
Eat the baby food.

India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.

This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.

And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

From the time I started playing cricket, Kane Williamson has been one of the most technically compact and magnificent batters I have seen. Balance, timing, and that trademark calm at the crease came together to make his batting one of the most consistently pleasing sights in world cricket. A thorough gentleman and a true role model for youngsters.

His retirement will probably be received with unexpected relief in more than a few bowling camps. Wishing him luck and success in his next chapter.

Has anyone got a job through LinkedIn or are we all just pretending that app works?

He is just a kid - let him play freely.

What kind of absurd person goes after a kid for scoring runs against top-class bowlers?

And talking about flat pitches, hundreds of batters have played on the same surfaces, yet none of them have managed to hit 45 sixes, let alone 65.

None of them have a better strike rate than him either. And he has scored 680 runs - the most by any player this season.

Thanks to the people who supported us in these tough times and we faced so much mental harrasment because of this . People called us antinational and Pakistani just because we raised a genuine concern and at the end Truth has prevailed .

If India "has to" play Pakistan in a multinational tournament because the format leaves no alternative, then why not treat it like any other fixture, against any other team?

But that’s not what happens. They are routinely placed in the same group, ensuring at least one guaranteed clash. The match is almost always scheduled in weekend prime time, wrapped in weeks of manufactured hype, pre-match shows, ads, dramatic commentary, fake fights, music, performances, spectacle, everything calibrated to extract maximum viewership and revenue.

That's not how majboori me khelna pad raha hai looks like. The pattern is structural and deliberate. The rivalry is monetised, emotions are packaged, and nationalism is subtly turned into a broadcast product. That's why "not shaking hands with them" means nothing. It's just a lollypop given to those cricket fans who keep country over cricket and question why there is a need to play against such a hostile country.

Driving on Indian roads is very easy; you just have to be careful of:

1. Dogs.
2. Cattle.
3. Children.
4. Potholes.
5. Open ditches, sewer lines, manholes.
6. Non-standard speed breakers.
7. Wrong-side drivers.
8. Pedestrians crossing abruptly.
9. Someone suddenly emerging from a divider cut.

10. Drivers abruptly changing lanes.
11. Turning without indicators.
12. Thar, Scorpio, Fortuner, buses, trucks, tractors, irrespective of their driving methods.

13. E-rickshaws and auto-rickshaws stopping/turning anywhere, anytime.
14. Vehicles overtaking from the left.
15. Parked vehicles opening doors without warning.

16. Loose gravel dumped without warning.
17. Temporary barricades placed suddenly in the middle of the road.
18. Uneven resurfacing.
19. VIP vehicles honking behind.
20. Unmarked unfinished flyovers.

That's it.

Some people borrow your money
and don��t return it on time. No message. No update, unless you ask, and they feel no bad about it.

And then there are people who feel awkward even asking for their own money back.

Strange contrast! One feels no discomfort owing money. The other feels guilt demanding what’s theirs. Psychology is funny like that: shamelessness comes from low conscience, while hesitation comes from too much of it.

Excessively conscientious people are genuinely good people. They have strong inner morality, empathy, and a deep sense of responsibility. They don’t need supervision to do the right thing. In a high-trust society, such people become the backbone of social order.

But in a low-trust society like ours, the same traits turn into vulnerabilities. When others operate with entitlement, weak accountability, and opportunism, morality becomes asymmetrical: one side carries guilt, the other carries none. As a result, goodness gets exploited.

Moral: Being kind with the kind is important, but being shameless with the shameless is even more important. Empathy without boundaries is an open invitation to exploitation.

Kailash Vijayvargiya:

On a question about deaths due to contaminated water in Indore: “Chhodo yaar, tum phokat ke sawaal mat karo. Kya ghanta hoke aaye ho tum?”

On the Australian women cricketers’ molestation incident (Oct 2025): “It’s a lesson for the players as well that they should not go out without informing the local administration.”

On rape and killings during post-poll violence in Bengal (2021): “Azadi ki ladaai mein bhi logon ne balidaan diya tha. Bengal mein bhi prajatantra bachane ke liye balidaan logon ko hi dena padega.”

He has repeatedly demonstrated a disturbing habit of trivialising suffering and deflecting responsibility. Clearly unfit to be a leader.

EXPOSING the real reason why Indian cricket broadcast suck :

Let’s compare BCCI with Cricket Australia because this is where the entire truth becomes clear.

CA broadcasts every home match in native 4K HDR, while BCCI still delivers India’s home cricket in old 1080i HD. CA uses smooth progressive 50p motion. BCCI still uses interlaced video that looks soft and shaky. CA’s OB trucks run modern 12G SDI and IP systems built for 4K. BCCI still relies on older HD flypacks designed more than a decade ago.

CA uses Sony HDC 4300 and 5500 cameras that shoot true 4K and high speed slow motion at 300 fps. BCCI’s cameras are older HD models with softer lenses and lower frame rates. CA even uses a 600 fps ultra motion camera. Many BCCI series do not have one at all.

CA tracks seam and swing using a six camera high speed system. BCCI uses fewer angles and slower sampling, which is why the ball tracking often looks flat or inaccurate. CA also has a 100 camera 360 degree replay system. India relies on basic HD replays from limited angles.

CA has larger and more specialised crews for shading, replay, camera operations and engineering. BCCI runs smaller teams, which affects replay quality, color consistency and camera control.

CA’s color work is cleaner because they grade everything in HDR. BCCI works in SDR which crushes shadows and blows out highlights. CA outputs a clean master feed. BCCI outputs a compressed 1080i feed that already loses detail before it reaches TV channels or apps.

CA also spends more time testing cameras, angles and setups before a match. BCCI calibration is often rushed, which shows on screen.

And here is the biggest proof. When ICC produced the 2023 World Cup inside India, the same stadiums suddenly looked sharper and far more professional. Same venue. Same weather. Only the production changed.

In short,CA spends far more per match on better equipment and bigger crews, while BCCI spends far less despite getting 40% of ICC revenue, 720 Million from home media rights and whopping 6 billion dollars from IPL media rights , still does not invest in modern broadcast infrastructure and doesn't care about fans.

Indian fans and Indian cricket deserve much better than this..!
