To say 'I will solve this' one must first be able to say the 'I.'

It’s 430 am & my pledge of non confrontation is hanging by an absolute thread cze my uber driver can't keep his eyes open. He sleeps & wakes up startled every 10 seconds as I play Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song) on my phone's speakers and slap my thighs to keep the beat and my life.

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

upon Doing The Thing, you will invariably find two things to be true:

1. Doing The Thing was pretty easy, actually
2. not having Done The Thing was bothering you more than you thought it was

India has 101 million diabetics. 43% of "normal weight" Indians are metabolically obese. The single most effective intervention isn't a drug, diet or supplement. It's also not walking or yoga. It's picking up something heavy and putting it back down again and again. New video: The Science of Weight Training https://t.co/N7M1fI4GML

On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said

You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.

It finally happened-my personal move 37 or more. I am deeply impressed. The solution is very nice, clean, and feels almost human. While testing new models in the last few weeks, I felt this coming, but it's an eerie feeling to see an algorithm solve a task one has curated for about 20 years. But at least I have gained a tool that understands my idea on par with the top experts in the field. And I am now working on a completely new level. My singularity has just happened… and there is life on the other side, off to infinity!

I am interested to know about the experiences of those who go through social death. It appears that most would perish away by the blows to the ego, but are there any examples of those who blossomed by having their chains broken?

Wouldn't Buddha be absolutely hysterical about all this storytelling on his life? Reminds me of all the bollywood/cricket lovers who are in it more for the gossip. It's probably worse cze the hero worshipping puts him on a pedestal and makes the goal feel distant for the student.

After a long long time, a mainstream Hindi movie has said something so important and has said it with such great craft. Go watch.

#Homebound has travelled across festivals around the world but its true identity lies in its return—its homebound journey back to the motherland.

And for me, it means a long arduous wait over a decade to put out a second film. Ten years of one battle after another with my own self (Cheers, PTA!).

Today, it finally releases in theatres.
And now it belongs to you as much it ever did to us.

Don’t pay heed to rumours. Please go watch #Homebound in theatres only.

It’s a story meant to be experienced together - a reflection of our collective humanity. Maybe you will find something in it that you’ve lost along the way.

@depressionlesss This is a perfect relationship cze when the cat licks the rabbit both think they are the alpha.

step 1: find a live show with high bpm music u actually really like. not just "it's okay", stuff u personally vibe with. make sure it's a spot where other people are already dancing!
step 2: get a little drunk. not blackout but 3-4 drinks minimum. u should be a little unstable
step 3: close ur eyes. u don't care if other people are looking at u or what they think of u. or even if u knock into someone else, ur out dancing and everyone's drunk it's okay.
step 4: feel the music in ur body. notice the beat. start small. nod ur head along. feel how good that feels. move ur fingers in time, just little taps and swirls in the air.
step 5: okay it's time to start really moving. do what the music wants u to. move ur hips, ur feet, ur shoulders, ur arms. keep ur eyes closed, it doesn't matter wtf u look like. literally all that matters is what ur doing should feel good. it should feel like ur playing along to the music and fitting just right.
step 6: open ur eyes . look around u. find the most energeticly dancing person . notice how while they might "look cool" at times half the rest of the time u can find a framing where they look fucking stupid ... but they're still having fun. try to dance with just as much energy as them!
step 7: keep going !! dance until ur so tired u can barely move and sweat is dripping down ur face. dance until the music is done.

there, now u know u can do it, now u know u can put ur heart and soul and ass into dancing and it makes u have more fun not less and it's worth it intrinsically even if everyone around u thinks u look like a gay retard. and suddenly u have unlocked a whole new avenue for joy . might still be awkward at first, might not be able to dance to mid music u don't like, but once u really get it once u will forever after feel the music in ur bones.

We're getting scammed. As this realisation sinks in, I hope some ballsy Indians decide that the old system HAS to be thrown out & new political identities created and THEY are the ones who'd have to do it. We need integrity, excellent project management skills & balls. What else?

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this:

a couple weeks ago the farmers market I saw a giant man who looked like he could have been in a biker gang who was sweetly ruffling his disabled sons hair and I could feel how much love he had for him from 50 ft away.

after finishing their coffee he rolled his sons wheelchair to the middle of the market and his son held up a sign "can I please pet your dog"

the boy and his father were instantly surrounded by cute dogs getting lots of pets and smiles.

The world and the people in it are good. Don't let anyone else sell you otherwise.

We don't have infrastructure -> We Jugaad to survive -> Jugaad is glorified as SMART work-> Jugaad becomes integral to Indian identity -> We don't have infrastructure
