Madras Matinee.. well done, @keyanmk.... beautiful movie. love your work. @baradwajrangan,@sudhirsrinivasn,@tamiltalkies -We all complain about movies but a good movie is not even reviewed by you all... Good movies should be promoted. Think over.

some go to the extent of killing themselves and others for those constructs... only indenpendent thinking minds which can overthrow programs/constructs can see the real truth- the world as it is and other humans as they are...

[chockalingam @chockalingamr]

Human brains are learning machines with some disposition due to genes, brain size etc. Parents,society,teachers,media etc try to program the brains... unfortunately many succumb to the program and take the human constructed theories seriously and fall prey...

[chockalingam @chockalingamr]

Almost all humans individually are nice,caring,and kind.once they identify themselves with a group - lose self integrity and assasinate thier own character to become vile,unpleasant,and merciless. They act in ways that contradict their individual values and compassion.pathetic.

@rashtrapatibhvn-Appointee of governors/chancellors of Indian universities: Don't you think the universities should unlearn misogyny and issue gender-neutral baccalaureate/magistariate degrees instead of bachelor/master degrees? Even in cricket,batter not batsmen. @firstpost

18 years ago, a struggling actor named Bryan Cranston made a shift that changed his life.

His mindset (and how you can use it to change yours):

Bryan was going from audition to audition but not getting parts.

He was trying to win the job each time.

But he had the job wrong...

Old mindset:
The purpose of an audition was to get a job.

New mindset:
The purpose of an audition was to serve the script in a unique way that only he could do.

Whether he got the job or not was up to someone else.

This mindset shift was an inflection point in his career. Bryan has been busy ever since, starting with guest roles on Seinfeld to 6 Emmy awards for Breaking Bad.

Takeaway:
Attachment to outcome gets in the way of our best work. This is true in business, in art, in life.

Goals are important because they set a direction. But goals are in the future.

If you are overly focused on your goal in the moment, it will block your authentic best.

As the Stoic Philosopher Seneca wrote:
“The more you seek to control external events, the less control you will have over your own life.”

@RobertLustigMD ..Appreciate your great work. Can advise on millets especially brown top millet with 12% fiber good for gut, slow release of glucose etc... edible in India but classified as bird feed by FDA... could be a replacement for flour based breads..

@elonmusk why don't you challenge zelenskyy to join NAM, non alliance movement. Best option for the people who likes to live peacefully in Ukraine. Alliance approach by the politicians leads to suffering of the people.Politics kills people, why blame bombs.. #StandUpForUkraine

[chockalingam @chockalingamr]

@ZelenskyyUa /Ukraine should have easily opted for Non alignment movement instead of taking sides,should have stayed out of USA/Russia politics... now Ukraine is the scape goat,poor common people are the victims. stupid leaders.#StopWarNOW #NAM

Classic example of Reverse survivorship bias.People worrying about heart health in people doing workouts,after puneeth's demise.
But the worry should be other way around, if a fit guy is susceptible to cardiac arrest, the health risk for a guy who doesn't workout is much higher.
