How to raise a kid: "My parents encouraged rational thinking. They never shut down discussion. They encouraged debate, perspective and logical reasoning. That shaped the way I approach public issues today."

I’ve started appreciating days where nothing dramatic happens. no bad news, no stressful interactions, no overwhelming thoughts. just a normal, quiet day where everything is calm. those are the days that actually feel like rest.

just thinking about how islam prohibits interest, pornography, alcohol, gambling, injustice; all of which is what runs the current world order. this is why islam is so hated and the west works overtime to vilify us, it's because islam makes those in power uncomfortable

I sincerely hope India as a country never becomes a superpower.
With just enough money and viewership, if they can do this much damage to a sport, imagine what they can do with unchecked power. And we will have enough cheering that "It is India's turn".
We are a plague!

Politicians, including ministers

Brush them under the carpet!

Consider a child born in India.
If she’s born in the South, she’s more likely to survive infancy, be vaccinated, educated, healthier, earn more, have fewer children, and live longer than her counterpart in a North Indian state.

Tamil Nadu is India's economic powerhouse, clocking the highest real GSDP growth of 11.19% in 2024-25—the first double-digit leap in 14 years. Exports hit USD 52B, fueled by autos, electronics, and textiles. SIPCOT's new industrial parks are spreading jobs from Chennai to rural districts.

People seem to care more about a penguin in a documentary than for how minorities are treated every day, everywhere.

Whenever an Indian Muslim at top talks about discrimination, the media and the public end up proving him right.

Please research. Use Google. Watch documentaries. Read. Research.

Education is SOOOOO00000 IMPORTANT. Degrees. Licenses. Certs. Training classes. Late nights and early morning studying. Weekend and night school. Community college. Don't matter what it takes. JUST DO IT.

are we living in a serious country? 🤔

Things were not the best during Congress rule but the people had the right to protest. When they protested they were heard. Now if u protest you are either called an anti national or threats of police action are made against you. Some are in jail for years because they protested

It's 2025 still Indians don't have clean air to breathe , proper roads and hospitals. Failed nation.

Sorry for saying this…

But India is far far far far from being corruption free.

✅ Every contractor I meet says the same thing - they have to pay local leaders, MLA, MP… almost 40% goes into corruption.

In remaining 60% they do the work.

✅ Every Govt offices want bribes to get the work done including police.
My friend has given up on his already tracked money which was got scammed because corrupt Pune officers are not filing the FIR - which has to be submitted in the court.

✅ In people’s mentality greed is ingrained above everything else, they don’t care about others if they are making money!

Don’t know how India will be corruption free!
Don’t know how can we change the mindset of people.

Call the hijab-clad girl.
Call the media.
Apologize to her and the nation.
Nitish Kumar has no moral escape route here.
This is non-negotiable.
Nothing less is acceptable.
Period.

The whole Messi thing is a big joke. We need to start behaving like a proper country.
