The semifinal between Ayush Shetty and Kunlavut Vitidsarn (World No. 1) at the Asian Badminton Championships was a powerful reminder of what our sport truly stands for.
It was intense, demanding, and deeply tactical—everything that makes badminton special. Ayush’s win underlined one critical truth: there are no shortcuts in our sport. Physical endurance, resilience, and mental strength are non-negotiable.
Which is why I must say this clearly to the Badminton World Federation:
Do not dilute badminton by altering the scoring system to shorten matches.
This move risks reducing a sport built on endurance and skill into one designed merely to fit television windows. The idea of compressing five events into a three-hour broadcast slot cannot come at the cost of the sport’s essence.
Badminton is not just about speed—it is about attrition, strategy, adaptability, and sustained excellence. The current scoring system allows contrasting styles—attacking and defensive—to compete on equal terms. That balance is the soul of the game.
Compromising this for convenience would be a serious mistake.
If you shorten the game, you don’t modernize badminton—you diminish it.
This 4 hour masterclass of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger will teach you more about investing than a $200,000 MBA from any business school on the planet.
Bookmark this & give it 4 hours this weekend, no matter what. It's the most productive thing you can give your weekend.
Latest in the series of posts blocked in India: An Instagram vlog by a college student. She had not leaked state secrets. Had not incited violence. She complained about traffic, heat and being forced to attend a PM Modi event by her college. @onkeyta_

So Indian chocolates is essentially made of sugar, milk solids (not milk) & vanaspati while Australian chocolates has milk, cocoa butter, chocolate base.
Price is almost comparable per gram and Australia has three times the production cost.
Difference is food safety standard.
Indian credit cards are getting worse. Fast.
Here's what changed in 2026 and what it means for your wallet 🧵
1) Cashback SBI Card
Online cashback slashed from 5% to a ₹2,000/cycle cap. That's a 60% cut if you were maximising it.
2) Amex Platinum Travel
You now need to spend ₹7L to get what ₹4L used to get you. Same benefits, 75% more spend required.
3) ICICI Emeralde Private Metal
iShop reward points crashed from 18% value back → 3%. And buying Amazon Pay GVs now costs 4.13% in fees — more than your reward rate.
4) Axis Bank
Lost Qatar Airways, Marriott Bonvoy, Accor. Replaced with lower transfer-ratio partners. A quiet but painful devaluation for travel hackers.
HDFC Infinia Metal
From FY 2026-27: spend ₹18L/year or maintain ₹50L relationship value just to keep the card.
The pattern is clear: banks are making premium cards harder to justify unless you're a very high spender.
Review your card stack. The math has changed.

@AlannaCollen Just finished your book 10% Human !
Loved 😍 it as it opened my eyes to a whole new world ,which was totally neglected by me.
Would love to read about the new developments in this field since 2015 when the book was written.
Any suggestions please?
What Sanghis are doing to Himanshi Narwal is criminal.
Digging her past
taking out pictures of her college days with friends
Slut shaming her
questioning her character
calling her Jihadi
expressing happiness over her grief
all this because she refused to spread hatred against Muslims and Kashmiris.
This is why I call Sanghis & their ideology the most deplorable thing on this planet 🤢
Dear Indian Navy ( @IndiannavyMedia ) ,
Veer Naari of our late Lt Vinay Narwal, Commissioned officer of the Indian Navy is facing filth beyond imagination, being abused, called out names.
The Armed Forces have a responsibility towards the Kin of its soldiers, especially the widows of soldiers.
Speak up for her, bring all the abusers to justice and issue a statement in her support.
Repost this max.
You may be an Olympic Gold Medalist
You may be the world's best cricketer
You may be a widow of an army officer
But if you don't h@te muslims enough, you are not a good Hindu or good Indian as per Sanghis.
House of Huawei is the best book I've read in a long time.
It's not only a story about the rise of an incredibly powerful company.
It's also a story about China's economic transformation, state-business relations, entrepreneurship, and geopolitics.
