@malpani I was also bad with memory. I derived a formula in JEE Advanced 2013 to solve a multiple choice Physics question (5 for correct, -2 for wrong). It might have cost me some time and few marks maybe, but being able to solve all 5 marks MCQ made the difference for me.
Indian elites want western aesthetics without western value systems.
Farmers' markets but no farmers. European-style parks and skateboarding arenas but restricted to residents of their gated communities. Western style protests but against Trump, not Modi. Rap music but with lyrics that have no angst about caste. Pride parade but with the KJo/Orry aesthetic.
You don't get a Paris or New York like this. You only get a Hiranandani or DLF.
These guys are dinosaurs. All they want is access to large amounts of govt money so they can keep a huge slice of it. I wouldn't trust them to do anything well because it was their inertia and incompetence that caused India to lose its IT lead.
Someone suggested I bring my kids to India to experience “competitive” kite flying, where the goal is to cut down other people’s kites using sharp threads.
Maybe I’m missing something, but I’d rather teach my children cooperation than competition that rewards hurting others. The challenges of the 21st century will be solved by people working together, not by finding more creative ways to cut each other down.
You want the young officer to sacrifice his life for the love of the Nation, but you don’t want him to express his love for his fiancée.
In the Army we say ‘Youngster nahi karega, toh kaun karega’.
If you can not find a fault in his professional capabilities, don’t do this nuktachini for such a pure gesture of love and belonging.
Military equipment has been on display during many ‘Know your Army’ exhibitions around the country. The students and non military personnel have clicked pics with it showing pride and love for the Army. So, please don’t bring in the national security angle into this.
Let the young soldier do his national duty with pride and honour 👍
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
I love these arguments of test cricket being the 'real deal.' And there is a seemingly good argument put in for longer formats allowing more skill to prevail.
My only submission is the ability to pick the line and generate the bat swing and timing to hit a six is as much of a skill as is leaving the ball outside the off stump, just as we think Usain Bolt's acceleration skills are as tangible as the endurance of a marathon runner.
The ICC has 110 members, all of whom play T20 cricket, as opposed to 12 test playing nations.
If you told a genuine football fan that only 12 countries played your game and you had a world championship, they would laugh at you.
All shots and crazy hitting aside, I think Suryanvashi's best decision was to skip 10th Boards exam. Abhi bechara CBSE website pe revaluation ke form bhar raha hota.
Idk man..just the image of Shubman Gill in my mind has undergone an incredible transformation.
2 years ago it seemed like he is being force fit as the next face of Indian cricket through forced PR.
But now it looks so natural..just the way he talks..just the calm demeanour..just the aura he carries.
All this and then he is charged up as a captain when on fhe field.
Hope he achieves great things for Indian cricket
THIS IS THE WARNING BJP WON’T LIKE 🔥
RAJ: If a weaker rupee helps exports, then what happened in 14 years?
JAYANT MUNDHRA 🎯: The rupee fell over 60%. Exports still fell from 25% of GDP to 21%.
RAJ: Your prediction?
JAYANT ⚡️: ₹150 per dollar. Don’t get angry. Ask who broke the basics.
RAJ: And Modi’s solution is to buy less?
JAYANT 🔥: People are not stupid. This is not Covid anymore. You cannot keep 150 crore people inside every time.
“Kids of Indian billionaires are making fancy ice-creams and cookies and call themselves startups.”
“There’s growth in Semiconductors and AI, what do Indians want to do, sell ice-creams or chips?”
- Piyush Goyal. April 2025.
And now we have Vantara Ice-creams by Ambanis 🤷🏻♂️
Anant Ambani has launched Vantara Creamery, a new ice cream brand from A2 Gir cow milk, including Malai Kulfi, Guava Chilli, Filter Coffee, Kesar Peda, and Butter Caramel.
Indian billionaires has massive wealth and capital, yet most big business families still can’t move beyond campa cola, chai, masala, namkeen-type businesses.
Meanwhile, Western billionaires are building companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, and Meta that are shaping the future.
For a country with this much talent and money, we still think too small.
So many on social media regularly abused Bengalis, without understanding what Bengalis have been up against.
They typecast Bengali women and men because of a handful of woke, deracinated but vocal idiots, without realising why the majority was silent.
They nearly wanted to cut off the state from India.
But without West Bengal, its people, its fierce fighters, Bharat will not be Bharat.
