@archerabi Honestly, it’s a bad piece of engineering and simply a wannabe with so much inspiration(read copying) from the Wrangler. Neither it is an out and out off-roader nor it is a great highway machine. The fact that it’s a hit with us, points out our mediocrity!

[NoMaddy @goodspeed1989]

@bankofbaroda @bobcardofficial @bobcardofficial do have a response here?

[NoMaddy @goodspeed1989]

There’s no bigger incompetent bank than @bankofbaroda. They have the audacity to reject a credit card application due to their “internal risk framework” after successful vkyc while my Cibil rating is top notch. This has caused an unnecessary enquiry on my cibil.

[Krishna Rao, K 🇮🇳 @krishnaraobsf]

India's Biggest Economic Challenge Is not Inflation, Oil, or War - It is an Unskilled Population Addicted to Distraction.

Every time oil prices rise, economists panic. Every time a war breaks out in the Middle East or Europe, television studios declare that India's economy is under threat. And yes, both matter. But neither represents India's greatest economic challenge. The real crisis is unfolding much closer to home.

It is a generation that spends more time consuming content than creating value. A workforce that debates geopolitics without mastering spreadsheets, artificial intelligence, coding, welding, precision manufacturing, sales, finance, communication, or even basic problem-solving. An economy where attention has become the most wasted national resource.

India is one of the youngest countries in the world. That should have been our greatest competitive advantage. Instead, we risk turning our demographic dividend into a demographic liability.

The Age of Endless Consumption

Never before has information been so accessible. Yet never before have so many people spent so much time learning so little. Hours disappear into political debates, celebrity gossip, cricket controversies, influencer reels, conspiracy theories, and outrage cycles that have absolutely no impact on an individual's earning potential. Ask someone how many hours they spent on social media last week. Then ask them how many hours they invested in acquiring a new professional skill. For many, the answer is uncomfortable. We have become experts at commenting on the economy while contributing very little to it.

Degrees Are Not Skills

India has no shortage of graduates. It has a shortage of employable graduates. Companies repeatedly report the same problem: vacancies exist, but suitable candidates are difficult to find. Not because people lack certificates. Because many lack practical skills. The world is rewarding competence, not credentials.
- Can you solve problems?
= Can you communicate effectively?
- Can you sell?
= Can you lead a team?
- Can you analyze data?
- Can you use AI to improve productivity instead of merely asking it amusing questions?
- Can you create something that another person is willing to pay for?
Those are the questions that determine economic success. Not the number of degrees hanging on a wall.

Attention Is the New Currency

The biggest theft today is not of money. It is of attention. Every notification fragments concentration. Every endless scroll delays mastery. Every hour spent consuming outrage is an hour not spent building expertise.

Modern economies reward deep work, specialized knowledge, creativity, and disciplined execution. Algorithms reward emotional reactions. Unfortunately, millions choose the algorithm.

The Coming Divide

Artificial intelligence is not replacing everyone. It is replacing people who refuse to learn. The future will belong to workers who continuously upgrade themselves. Those who combine human judgment with technological tools will become dramatically more productive. Those who stop learning will find themselves competing for fewer opportunities at lower wages. The divide will not be between rich and poor. It will increasingly be between skilled and unskilled.

National Growth Begins With Individual Discipline

Governments can build highways. Businesses can build factories. Universities can build campuses. But none of them can force an individual to develop skills. Economic transformation begins with personal responsibility. Spend one less hour arguing online. Spend one more hour learning. Read instead of scrolling. Build instead of complaining. Acquire one valuable skill every year. Become indispensable.

If millions of Indians made that simple choice, the country's economic trajectory would change more profoundly than any fiscal stimulus, any election promise, or any temporary fall in oil prices.

Wars will end. Oil prices will rise and fall. Markets will recover. But a nation that neglects skill development while surrendering its attention to endless distraction will struggle long after those headlines have disappeared.

The strongest economy is not built by the loudest voices. It is built by the most capable people.

I always thought Sony WH 1000 XM5 had the best noise cancelation- until PSG changed my mind.

[Aunindyo Chakravarty @Aunindyo2023]

I am not saying that Bollywood actors were part of an organised campaign against the UPA, when petrol prices were raised repeatedly in 2011-12.

But, they definitely are part of an organised silence right now.

[🇭🇷CW_ @ChelseaWay_]

And they think they will get congratulations from other fanbases after PGMOL did all they could to hand them a trophy. 0 red cards & 0 penalties in 38 games, first time in PL history. By one of the nastiest teams in history aswell. Directors got what they wanted, new champions 🤣

All the shrill cine-cats have gone quiet now. No loud calls for swift justice, encounter-policing, performative moral outrage, tweet barrage from any corner of the film fraternity. Utthappudu ayithe andharu pululu, simhalu, vetagaallu.. iga ippudu endhuko moogaboyyinaru mari

As a country with tropical climate, India needs mass cooling solutions.

Almost 6 decades ago, Lee Kuan Yew started completely air conditioning Singapore. He
credited air conditioning as one of the most significant factors in the nation's success. He believed that physical comfort was a prerequisite for high productivity in the tropics.

To quote Lee Kuan Yew:

"Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history. It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics. Without air conditioning, you can only work in the early morning hours or dusk.

The first thing I did upon becoming Prime Minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was the key to public efficiency."

Yesterday our central minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said that he doesn't use AC in his car, he doesn't sit in air conditioned environment and he just keeps an onion in the pocket to beat the heat. He implied that is an easy and inexpensive way to beat the heat.

It is well known that Scindia's home, office and luxury cars are equipped with AC.

Telling ordinary Indians to keep an onion in the pocket to beat the heat is mockery of our people.

We don't have what is required to become a Singapore. Our minister is no Lee Kuan Yew. The least Scindia can do is not to talk this kind of unscientific crap.

There is no slightest evidence that keeping an onion in your pocket would help you beat the heat.

[Muthukrishnan Dhandapani @dmuthuk]

Let people vote for BJP or TVK or NTK or PMK to power. People's verdict is final in a democracy.

But the unavoidable fact is right from Kamarajar to Stalin, starting with congress and then predominantly DMK and ADMK are responsible for Tamil Nadu being what it is today, number one state in the country. The only state which has beautifully managed both economic and social growth.

If and when any party other than DMK or ADMK comes to power, they would only be building further on what has already been built strongly.

30+ artists including me were summoned by authorities for being on Latent.
The whole comedy fraternity took a hit because of how stupid you’re. Shows were canceled, Venues pulled out, Judgements made, the pathetic shadow of your stupidity still continues to make lives of funny comedians difficult. You didn’t even care to understand that side.
Stop pretending to be the nice guy you’re not. Take your cheque’s,
lower your gaze & be very ashamed.
You’re a contraceptive for creativity,
stop milking this & go back to what you do best which is being a hurdle for upward social change while FraudCasting & clout chasing…

Bruno Fernandes officially becomes the third player in Manchester United history with 100+ goals & 100+ assists in all competitions (105 & 100). He did it in 318 appearances.

For context; Leo Messi did it in 319 for Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo did it in 325 for Real Madrid.

The reason i keep saying that football is such a beautiful game and it’s way ahead of cricket when it comes to the spirit of the game…

[Nozi #MUFC🌹🦋💐 @Nozi_Michelle]

I had no idea Real Madrid did so much after the 1958 disaster. I knew about the charity games but not after them trying to offer their best player to boost Manchester United. Had no idea Liverpool also offered 5 players to United on loan. Respect in football comes a long way ✊🏽

[Brizzy @Utdbrizzy]

Garnacho now warming the bench at Chelsea behind Gittens, Neto & Estevão.
Rashford doing the same at Barça, behind an 18-year-old Yamal and Raphinha.

These were once Manchester United’s “first-choice” wingers.

This is exactly what Rúben Amorim exposed. Standards were low, problems were ignored.

Imagine upgrading Rashford & Garnacho with Cunha… then adding Dorgu, who’s actually thriving on the left.

When Garnacho can’t start ahead of Gittens, Neto or Estevão, it tells you everything about how badly United were run.

Thank you, Amorim and have a Happy Birthday 🔥👀

[NoMaddy @goodspeed1989]

@atulkasbekar Agreed, United’s two goals were certainly great and Zubimendi’s mistake also played a major role. However, there was hardly any threat going forward from Arsenal. xG from open play was 0.39, whereas United was on the front foot soon after 2-2. Not good enough to win the PL.

[NoMaddy @goodspeed1989]

There is no bigger story of resurgence in the era of modern football than Harry Maguire’s!! Massive show of courage and character!!

[Sam Pilger @sampilger]

So much admiration for Harry Maguire. There was a time he was dismissed as a joke and a waste of money but he showed amazing strength of character to resist that and is now as good as ever marshalling the United defence.

[MUSC Mumbai @ManUtdMumbai]

That feeling after beating the top 2 teams in the PREMIER LEAGUE BACK TO BACK!!!! WHAT A FUCKING FEELINGGGG😭😭❤️❤️❤️!!! #MUFC #ARSMUN #ManchesterUnited
