Before passing away, he scribbled this note for her husband "I think I am almost on my way; I don't think I'll be able to meet you. Please look after our children. Take them with you to the Gulf; don't be all alone like our father, please."
Brave brave woman.

We can confirm that we don't wish to add Gautam Gambhir to our coaching staff. He clearly has talent, though. To take those Indian players and deliver those results in Ireland takes truly remarkable gifts.

TMC made two major allegations after the BJP’s historic victory in West Bengal:

1Deletion of voters through SIR
2Wrongful addition of voters from UP & Bihar

But a single set of data demolishes every lie 👇

• The top five seats with the maximum deletion of ineligible electors during SIR (Table 9) were ALL won by the TMC.

• In contrast, seats with the least deletions were won by the BJP (Table 10).

Now comes the second lie…

TMC claimed the BJP added “fake voters” from UP & Bihar. But the data shows that the top five seats with the maximum addition of voters were all won by the INDI Alliance, 4 by TMC and 1 by Congress (Table 11).

Again, the seats with the least voter additions were won by the BJP (Table 12).

And here is the final nail in the coffin:

Even if all 27 lakh adjudication cases are added back across constituencies, and one assumes every single vote goes to the TMC, seat-wise analysis still shows the BJP ahead of the TMC in 181 seats, comfortably above the majority mark.

Truth is: people of West Bengal have rejected Mamata Banerjee and Trinamool. Accept it.

Watched the Dinosaurs documentary on Netflix this weekend. Highly recommend, especially with kids.

Dinosaurs ruled this planet for 165 million years. Then an asteroid they never saw coming ended it all in a geological blink.

Put that in perspective.

Humans with abstract thinking, art, and complex language, what we'd call truly modern humans, have existed for maybe 50,000 to 100,000 years.

Civilisation as we know it? Writing, cities, organised society? Maybe 5,000 years.

The version with industrial-scale technology, global trade, and the ability to reshape the planet? Barely 200 years.

And the version with nuclear weapons, AI, and the ability to end all of it? Less than 100 years.

We solved the asteroid problem, by the way. NASA can now track and deflect them. The thing that wiped out 165 million years of dinosaurs, we've figured that one out.

And yet billions are being spent daily on war and destruction, making an already bad climate situation even worse.

The threats coming from the universe are becoming manageable. The ones we're creating ourselves, not so much.

The dinosaurs had no choice. The asteroid just came.

We do. That's what makes what's happening right now so much harder to watch.

The words "hero"/"brave" are used too loosely these days, esp in sport. But never has the adjective been more apt for an athlete than this. Awe-inspiring, cant wait to see her on the Asian/Olympic podiums...

[SheetalArcher @ArcherSheetal]

When I started competing, I had a small dream - to one day compete alongside the able-bodied and win medals ♥️ I didn’t make it at first, but I kept going, learning from every setback.

Now, that dream is one step closer. 🌟

In the Asia Cup trials, I secured Rank 3 and will now represent India in the Asia Cup - in the able-bodied category. 🇮🇳

Dreams take time. Work. Believe. Repeat. 💫

There’s no better proof that life is unfair than the second bhatoora. Think about it - both bhatooras start off as equals. The second could easily have been the first. But fate intervenes.

By the time you’re done with the first, three things happen:
1. You’re already full.
2. 300 calories of guilt are whispering in your ear.
3. The second one has gone limp.

You still eat it, but half-heartedly. No oohs, no aahs - just quiet resignation.

The second bhatoora did nothing wrong. It simply suffered from bad timing - and fades away unappreciated.

So next time someone preaches about karma or fairness, ask them - what about the second bhatoora?

This is the tragic story of Rosemary Kennedy, born in 1918 as the eldest sister of President John F. Kennedy. Though she was a beautiful young woman, Rosemary struggled with instability in a family that demanded perfection.

Rosemary experienced severe mood swings, and while some labeled her as mentally “slow,” her diaries showed she was insightful and intelligent. However, she wasn’t as academically gifted or well-behaved as her siblings. Unlike her more reserved sisters, Rosemary was lively, loved to smoke and drink, and enjoyed socializing. She was flirtatious and reportedly promiscuous, which alarmed her father, Joseph Kennedy. He feared she would bring shame to the family by becoming pregnant out of wedlock, jeopardizing their carefully cultivated reputation.

In a desperate attempt to control her, Joseph Kennedy had Rosemary diagnosed with a questionable condition and declared legally incompetent. This gave him the authority to subject her to a lobotomy—a brutal procedure that involved cutting into her brain while she was awake, with the doctor stopping only when her responses became incoherent.

The lobotomy left Rosemary severely mentally and physically disabled. She spent the rest of her life in an institution, where she remained for over sixty years until her death at 86. She was pushed aside, her life and mind irreparably damaged, all to protect her brothers’ political futures.

Ruth Hamilton had been asleep for hours in her Golden, B.C., home when she awoke to the sound of her dog barking, giving her a moment's notice before a rock from outer space hurtled into her bedroom.

"The next thing was just a huge explosion and debris all over my face," Hamilton recalled in an interview Tuesday.

"I jumped out of bed and turned on the lights. I didn't know what else to do, so I called 911," she said.

"Talking to the operator, she was asking me all kinds of questions, and at that point, I rolled back one of the two pillows I'd been sleeping on , and in between them was the meteorite."

A charcoal-grey chunk of rock roughly the size of a melon had plummeted from space, tearing through Hamilton's roof before coming to rest on her floral pillowcase, inches from where her head had been moments earlier.

The object happened to be a meteorite, weighing almost 1.3 kg.

After completing its journey from space, it landed on her pillow, just about 10 cm away from her head.

VFS is notorious for its bad practices but their Bangalore location comes first in all the wrong doings.

This is from a couple whom I had assisted with #JapanVisa. Inspite of the delay from their end the travellers ended up paying for Premium Lounge.
@JapaninIndia This is systematically done with no appointments slots available and travel dates in the near future. Travellers fear missing out on the submission and in turn accept the Premium Lounge charges. Why does Bangalore need a slot system when PAN India walk-ins are allowed?

90% of such cases I get from VFS Bangalore. Netherlands offline form not accepted and pushed customers to buy Premium Lounge where they filled the same form. France submission was done by single lady and again same tactics. Create scenarios and push for Prmeium Lounge.

If you have some incident with VFS Bangalore please do share.

I was on @aajtak with @Iyervval where he challenged the ex cricketers to show the rule, section and sub clause that says if you boycott a game, you won't get an Olympics tournament! Not one could quote it. In 1974, India did not play the Davis cup FINALS against South Africa, the world boycotted South Africa not India! In 1986 we did not play the #AsiaCup and we bagged the ICC world cup!! Pls stop lying !!
@Iyervval is correct
