One thing I've learnt about Gukesh - you cannot bet on him or against him. He's like a wild horse for real 😭

A Pakistani reporter tries to disrupt EAM Jaishankar's presser over allegations concerning Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.

EAM Jaishankar responds: “A terrorist country is asking me that question?”

My sister fell from the 4th floor when I was 16 years old and fought for her life for two whole years.

When you fall from such a height, it's most often not the impact that kills you.
It's the fall.

Most people falling from such a height, faint before impact — and they fall on their back.

Their spine breaks, ruptures, and is torn to shreds and most of them die or are paralyzed their entire lives.
But, my sister , was awake through the fall.

She fell on her legs.

Later doctors told us that, that was the only reason she'd survived.

On impact, her right leg, which bore the maximum impact, was torn to bloody shreds.

Her right foot had an entire piece fall off from where it was attached.

When I saw her — the white sheet that covers patients was red with blood.
I saw bone where flesh was supposed to be.

When I saw the X ray for the first time, I couldn't help but hopelessly cry.

Part of her hip bone was just bone dust.
Literally! Literally bone dust where bone should be.

This further complicated her surgery when she was admitted to the ICU.
Bone fragments could have ruptured her blood vessels — or so the doctors said.

Forget walking ever, doctors told us she had a ten percent chance of survival.
My Didi spent two years in the hospital and missed her board exams (12th) that year.

Next year, carried on a stretcher, she was ferried from the hospital in an ambulance and she sat for her 12th boards.

That year — she scored 92 in her boards with a 94 in Physics and Maths.
Her school awarded her an Exceptional Student award and gifted her a phone and a certificate for her achievements.
Today, she has two degrees to her name.

One in Physics and another in Hotel Management.

She's preparing for a third degree — an MBA this year.

Today, she's working for a subsidiary of Google in Hyderabad, all alone in a different city.

The limp is still visible, but barely.

Inspiration?

This word doesn't even begin to explain what I feel when I look at her.

She's a living, breathing miracle.
Literally — a living, breathing miracle.

Gukesh Effect 💀🔥🔥🔥

I don’t think the situation needs to be remedied. Women have realised there’s a whole world out there that doesn’t involve incompetent men. And husbands don’t need to be home makers - they just need to pull their weight and become equal participant in basic household duties.

@shaileebasu Finally stumbled across a good take on this

[The Other Guy @Gyan49485]

Engine commentary and viewership has turned a lot of people into super GMs.

You can have a +5 engine eval that has a single line of continuation. There can be a +1 position with 4 different consolidating lines. The 2nd one is a winning position, the 1st is not.

All hail the king. King Gukesh.

[Guki @GukiBoy2905]

Yes , bcoz if the position is DEAD draw - he will try not to take that & makes some move which is bad for him --> leads to any kinda results , reason for many decisive games in his career

Powered by Gukesh’s miraculous Houdini act, alongside draws from Pragg, Arjun & Nihal, defending champions India take down giant-killers Germany.

A massive, nerve-shredding win that keeps India in the hunt for gold!

@DrunkenNocturne @DrDhruvchauhan @Nootan98 @ThePrintIndia It's hard work but regulated hours. Violations have serious penalties. The problem isn't hard work, the problem is hard work for inhumane hours.

During my internship, the concept of post duty off was laughed at. As a result, interns scooted, chilled. Tried to sleep during the night because they knew they'd be fucked the next day regardless. An off post duty ensures diligent work for 24 h.

[Dr.Dhruv Chauhan @DrDhruvchauhan]

Why Doctors are shifting abroad ? Why they are made to work 24 -36 hours continuously !
