The truth is that there are VASTLY more hate crimes, especially aggravated rape and murder, per person by Blacks against Whites than the other way around.

The is not remotely debatable, as the numbers are so extremely lopsided!

Admittedly lot of youngsters are bit "airy" in their salary expectations. But why would you need to know their current CTC? What value addition does it make in selecting a candidate, except to restrict your offer to that number, if your internal budget is a lot more? Just curious.

🚨 State-wise average monthly salaries in India.

[Pankaj Arora 🇮🇳 @Panks_Arora]

Neighbour spent 18 lakh on his son’s MBA. Sold land, took loans, sacrificed everything.

College promised big placements & corporate future.

Today his son earns 28k/month in another city, still struggling to pay rent.

Meanwhile the college owner upgraded from Fortuner to BMW.

Education in India has become a business where parents invest like it’s a startup and still end up in loss.

[Live Law @LiveLawIndia]

Madhya Pradesh HC has held that an advocate operating his office from his residential premises cannot be subjected to a commercial electricity tariff, observing that the legal profession does not amount to a 'commercial activity'.

Adv: Last two months my human rights has been violated by the registry.

CJI Kant: Human rights?

Adv: Registrar says he will entertain only advocate on record and not lawyers. Still my problem in curing defects not looked into..registry is creating unnecessarily delay. How can they ask me to show reasons of delay etc.

CJI Surya Kant: I will personally look into this.

🗣️🇳🇴 Erling Haaland reveals, five years later, the conversation between him and Phil Foden:

“Phil said: ‘You should come and join me here at Manchester City.’”

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

Boss: “You arrived 10 minutes late.”
Employee: “Yesterday I stayed late finishing that last-minute report.”
Boss: “I understand… but rules are rules.”

The next day…

Boss: “You’re leaving already?”
Employee: “Yes. It’s 5:00 p.m.”

Boss: “But there’s still work to be done.”
Employee: “I understand… but rules are rules.”

Boss: “We need a bit more flexibility.”
Employee: “So do employees.”

Boss: “That’s not the same.”
Employee: “It is—just applied differently.”

Boss: “You used to go the extra mile.”
Employee: “Back when it was noticed.”

Boss: “We value your effort.”
Employee: “Then value it consistently.”

Boss: “So this is how you’ll work now?”
Employee: “Exactly as expected. Nothing more, nothing less.”

[Manchester City @ManCity]

Kolo 💬 (On being back at City) For me, every morning I think I’m grateful and very lucky to work with these two fantastic people (Pep Guardiola and Pep Lijnders). Fantastic coach and manager, but great people too.

To work for Pep Guardiola is a dream. In my career I hadn't worked under him and I was thinking of how to find a way to work with him. The opportunity came after [working with] the academy to work in the first-team.

It’s a blessing for me. Every day for me is fantastic. He loves [the] players and staff - his passion is high.

Last week, I went through a deeply concerning experience with a @rapidobikeapp ride. The driver was driving so rashly that we ended up in an accident. I sustained injuries, my clothes were torn, my phone’s back cracked, and the driver actually abandoned me on the flyover.

[Thanish Rao @raothan12h]

@DeadlineDayLive A poor decision that, unfortunately

When a fly falls into a cup of coffee:

The Italian: Throws the cup, breaks it, and walks away in a fit of rage.

The German: Carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it, and makes a new cup of coffee.

The Frenchman: Takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.

The Chinese: Eats the fly and throws away the coffee.

The Russian drinks the coffee with the fly since it was extra and came with no charge.

The Israeli: Sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea, and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.

The Palestinian: Blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives, and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, the German, and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of coffee to the Palestinian so there will be peace.

A critical question every manager should ask themselves is "Can bad news reach me? Would people be comfortable telling me what I don't like to hear?"

Being too sensitive is not a virtue in leaders. It would just mean bad news never reaches you.

So one piece of advice I have always given our managers is "You have to grow a thick skin in order to lead any effort".

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Within 10 weeks of Atul Subhash death:

-Wife and relatives out on bail.
-Wife got custody of their son.
-No inquiry against Judge Rita Kaushik.
-Abetment case will likely collapse in court.
-Wife can still file for maintenance from Atul's father.

So basically, to all the men facing such harassment : Don’t take the step that Atul did. It didn’t make life any better for his father, mother, or brother. His son won’t grow up cherishing his memory as he’ll be raised by his mother’s family, absorbing their version of events as the truth. It didn’t change the laws or justice system one bit.

Be strong. Stay and fight. That’s the only way forward.

Have you ever seen:

A Muslim from Karnataka attacking a Muslim from North India for not speaking Kannada?

A Muslim from Tamil Nadu attacking a Muslim from North India for not speaking Tamil?

A Muslim from Kerala attacking a Muslim from North India for not speaking Malayalam?

A Muslim from Maharashtra attacking a Muslim from North India for not speaking Marathi?

You wouldn’t, because they’re not foolish like Hindus.
For them, their religious unity matters the most. They understand that regional and language divisions weaken a community and give the other side a chance to dominate.
Forget Muslims from other states—they even consider Muslims from around the world as their own and are willing to bleed for them.

On the other hand, Hindus are always ready to fight fellow Hindus over language, region, politics, secularism, ego, and similar issues.

Imagine this: A stranger approaches you and asks to use your phone to make an emergency call. Most well-meaning people would probably hand over their phone. But this is a new scam.

From intercepting your OTPs to draining your bank accounts, scammers can cause serious damage without you even realizing it. In this video, we @zerodha, explain how these scammers operate, who they target, and, most importantly, how you can protect yourself.

@Rahul_S11 @KiranKS It’s difficult, the best way is we need to change our mindset and say “No” to freebies, which I doubt. Second is even more dangerous, we need to have one “GOOD” dictator to rule us for 15 years at least and he/she doesn’t have to contest election, so it can be stopped

I took an early morning bus to Mysuru, from Bengaluru. ₹210 fare. Comfortable KSRTC bus and a world class highway for fast travel.

But I got a few thoughts.

1) Nearly 30 of the 50 passengers were women. Just show Aadhar and travel free. Is this fair? Is it equality?
2) 20 men are paying for the entire bus. Is that fair?
3) Saw an old man struggling to find notes to pay, while a well off young woman on video call next to him, travels free. Is that fair?
4) If the state is having so much surplus income, why not make it free for these 20 men also? Universal free bus service like airport shuttle service.
5) All over the world, subsidy and welfare is given to those who can't afford. Here, we have women from two rich cities like Bengaluru and Mysuru, traveling free just because it is available. Is it sustainable?
6) Couldn't the same freebie money be used for garbage clearance, pothole fixing in cities, providing water to farmers?

Many more thoughts. But realized that we have entered the vicious cycle of freebies for votes. Tough to get out of it in the near future.
