[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Europeans are crying heatwave at 30-40 °C while we in India live comfortably even at 45-50 °C.

Actually, it's not a fair comparison. Temperature is not the only thing that decides how uncomfortable you'll feel in summer.

1. Humidity : India's peak summer heat is generally dry. In dry air, sweat evaporates instantly, which triggers the body's natural cooling mechanism. Europe’s heatwaves are heavily humid due to surrounding oceans. When the air is already saturated with moisture, sweat cannot evaporate; it sits on the skin, trapping internal body heat and creating a suffocating feeling. It's like, Mumbai 40°C feels significantly worse than a Delhi 40°C.

2. Architecture: European infra is engineered to trap heat, while Indian architecture is designed to reject it. European buildings feature thick insulation and double-glazed windows to survive freezing winters. During a heatwave, they act like ovens, absorbing heat all day and radiating it inward at night. Conversely, traditional Indian houses utilize high ceilings, cross-ventilation, marble or stone floors, and external awnings to block direct sunlight.

3. The AC deficit: Artificial cooling zones are standard infrastructure in hot regions of India through ACs or desert coolers. In contrast, residential AC is incredibly rare in Central and Northern Europe, present in fewer than 10% of homes. When a heatwave strikes, people have nowhere to hide, facing relentless exposure at home, on public subways, and in local shops.

4. Geography: Because Europe sits at a much higher latitude, summer days are significantly longer, with the sun setting as late as 10 PM. Buildings and asphalt are baked under direct sunlight for up to 16 hours a day. This leaves a brief 8-hour nighttime window that is too short for the ground and walls to cool down, causing the heat to compound aggressively day after day.

5. Acclimatization: Your body physically acclimatizes to its environment over time; populations in hotter climates naturally develop higher sweat rates and adjusted blood flow to handle thermal stress. Apart from that, Indian lifestyle adapts to the sun, streets empty out and businesses slow down during peak afternoon hours. Europe lacks this baseline, and because heatwaves are episodic, daily routines and heavy physical labor continue as normal, leading to rapid exhaustion.

In India, you cannot be too talented like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, else the general mediocrity that relies on connections, sycophancy, and chicanery will attack you mercilessly and drain all your energy.

Poor little Vaibhav.
Hope you survive the vicious Indian systems.

USAID spent 21m dollars to "elect someone else" in India by "increasing voter turnout." We all know what this means and what was tried in 2024.

Trump is talking about the GLISCO-DS which USAID had been made a part of. The same DS that removed him in 2020.

A lot people have said that we should be more professional and respectful towards a World Cup winner and someone with probably more wealth than our nation's GDP. But we aren't interested in any of that.

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

Cricket Qs: Has Vaibhav Suryavanshi been set to Ireland to warm the benches? Or only to market the series on a tv screen near you? When you have a generational talent, make sure you give him every opportunity to shine. Bizarre! 🙏

In approximately 60 minutes, Ben Stokes will be free to enter nightclubs at any hour that he pleases.

[Shekhar Gupta @ShekharGupta]

Comes on top of two Test whitewashes at home, by SA and NZ. Takes real talent, surely…

[Iceland Cricket @icelandcricket]

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.

[Krishna Anand @KrishnaAnand_]

Gautam Gambhir is a salty, vengeful human being. He can’t tolerate anybody getting the limelight. There’s no other reason he’s not playing Sooryanvanshi.

He will play him straight in England, so if he fails, he’s out of the Indian team for 5 years. He can’t tolerate ‘star culture’ as he’s already said.

[Sam Walker @samuelsays11]

As an Australian - that last 2.5 hours just completely sums up the Stokes/McCullum era.

Won nothing, completely self-serving and all about themselves. It's a fitting ending #ENGvNZ

@gharkekalesh We advise the aggrieved employee to complain to the Labour Department of the concerned state.

And then a legal notice should be sent to this company. Bring this company to the street.

Having me here in Paris and screening my films is itself an honour for me. But a sweet surprise I never saw coming. It is a feeling I cannot fully put into words. To have a permanent place in the halls of one of the world’s most legendary film institutions, named after the great Henri Langlois himself, is something I will carry with me forever.

My deepest gratitude to the legendary Mr. Costa Gavras and the entire Cinémathèque Française family for this honour, and for embracing Indian cinema with such warmth and love. 🙏

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

She said no in a hotel room. He destroyed her career with a phone call. When she finally spoke out, she sparked a revolution.

In 1997, Ashley Judd was one of Hollywood's brightest rising stars. She was invited to what she believed would be a breakfast business meeting with producer Harvey Weinstein at a hotel.

It wasn't a business meeting.

Instead, Weinstein made inappropriate advances toward her, placing her in an uncomfortable and intimidating situation. Ashley rejected him and walked out.

She believed that would be the end of it.

It wasn't.

Over the years, something strange began happening. Promising roles quietly disappeared. Parts she seemed perfect for suddenly went to someone else. Directors who had once shown strong interest stopped calling.

She couldn't understand why her career had suddenly lost momentum.

The answer finally came two decades later.

In 2017, director Peter Jackson revealed that Ashley Judd had been excluded from casting for *The Lord of the Rings*. According to Jackson, Miramax, Harvey Weinstein's company, had warned him that Judd was supposedly "a nightmare to work with."

He believed the claim at the time.

Years later, Jackson admitted publicly that it had almost certainly been false. He said he now believed Miramax had deliberately spread damaging misinformation about Ashley and other talented actresses.

Weinstein hadn't simply accepted her rejection.

He allegedly used his influence behind the scenes, damaging her reputation with private conversations and false claims. One phone call after another quietly closed doors that Ashley never even knew had been opened.

For nearly twenty years, she lived with the consequences without fully understanding why.

Then came October 2017.

Investigations published by *The New York Times* and *The New Yorker* exposed decades of sexual harassment and abuse allegations against Harvey Weinstein. Ashley Judd became one of the first actresses willing to attach her real name to her story.

Not anonymously.

Not through someone else.

She stood before the world and said, "This happened to me."

That moment changed everything.

Her courage encouraged countless other women to speak publicly about experiences they had hidden for years. Within days, more voices emerged. Within weeks, the #MeToo movement had become a worldwide reckoning.

The scandal exposed far more than one powerful producer.

It revealed how influence, fear, and silence had protected abuse for decades while destroying careers behind closed doors.

Ashley knew speaking out could cost her even more.

She spoke anyway.

Because she understood that silence only protected the system that had harmed so many others.

In 2020, Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape and sexual assault and sentenced to 23 years in prison. More legal cases followed.

Ashley Judd could never recover every opportunity she lost.

But by telling the truth, she helped change something far greater than a single career.

That hotel room in 1997 was meant to remain a secret forever.

Twenty years later, Ashley Judd said his name out loud.

And the silence finally began to break.

WhatsApp CEO Kunal Shah recently claimed that there is no word for efficiency and productivity in any Indian language because Indians do not value time as much. Is the claim true? Watch the video to find out.

Thank you, Megastar @KChiruTweets Garu ❤️

Your appreciation for #MaaIntiBangaaram means the world to me and my team. It still feels surreal to receive such kind words from you.

So happy that you loved the film ✨

[Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain]

I've never seen such despicable bigotry towards Hinduism as what I see directed towards my friend @TulsiGabbard - it's absolutely abhorrent and if she were a democrat none of this would be happening.

She is the most independent minded, free thinking politician in America today. Full Stop. Which is why she can't be bought and is a threat to the establishment and deep state - this is why places like the Washington post are trying to hurt her.

I wish everyone knew Tulsi the way I do. She loves America and would give her life defending our values and freedom. She is kind, sweet, generous with her time, prays for you when you need it, selfless, incredible with my children and the kind of friend I can call at 2am in an emergency and would show up for you. The way strangers respond to her in person is not like normal politicians, they want to know her and feel safe opening up to her.

I am just so exhausted with the baseless slander directed at her. We all have different backgrounds that should be celebrate and not demonized.

I for one hope she runs for President in 2028.
