my therapist changed my life when he taught me there are 4 types of conversation:
1) small talk (weather, etc)
2) swapping (you tell a story, I tell a story)
3) listening (you tell a story, I listen/validate)
4) problem-solving (you tell me a story, I help solve the problem)
Hot wheel stairs ? Yes please. 🙏 I have a vintage collection of hot wheels and all 3 of my sons also have tons of them. I love this idea and the colourful stairs are awesome 😎
A girl moved to Bangalore for work and rented a 3 BHK flat with two friends.
The three of them paid a total security deposit of ₹2.10 lakh, which meant her share was ₹70,000.
After living there for a few months, the landlord informed them that he wanted to sell the flat and asked them to vacate. They moved out on time, expecting to get their full security deposit back.
But when the refund arrived, the girl received only ₹18,000. Around ₹52,000 had been deducted from her ₹70,000 deposit.
When she asked the landlord for the reason, he said the money was deducted for painting, repairs, and one month's rent because the flat would remain vacant until a new tenant was found.
The girl disagreed. She said that if finding a new tenant was the issue, she could have arranged one herself. She believed it wasn't her responsibility to bear the loss after moving out.
The landlord also deducted money for items that were already damaged before she shifted into the flat. She had informed him about those issues when she moved in, and at that time he had told her not to worry.
Now, those same old damages were being used to cut her deposit.
When she continued asking for her money, the landlord blocked her on WhatsApp.
Left with no other option, the girl decided to send a legal notice. If she doesn't receive a reply within 15 days, she plans to take the matter to court.
This incident is a reminder that while renting a house, your security deposit can be just as important as your monthly rent. Always take photos and videos before moving in, keep records of existing damages, and make sure all deposit terms are clearly mentioned in the rental agreement.
If ₹52,000 out of your ₹70,000 security deposit was deducted without a valid reason, what would you do?
A guy swam Niagara Falls, went over the 170-FOOT drop, and walked out alive.
The rainbow watching the whole thing is nature's "I can't believe that worked" face😂
The falls kill basically everyone who tries this.
Except him. Somehow.
A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...
The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.
All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."
After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.
The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.
As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.
The average of the second test was 6.
When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.
The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?
Landed at Bengaluru railway station and was about to book an auto for almost ₹300 😭
Then I randomly checked Buyhatke’s Compare Rides feature… and found an Uber Go for just ₹179 instead
Didn’t expect price comparison to save this much on a short ride.

Strong suggestion:
Do watch Nadal's documentary on Netflix. Suffering is necessary in order to achieve big things in life. Nothing comes easily.
Human brain is wired to seek comfort, but the real development happens in solitude and ability to put in the reps again & again.
Follow the DCP framework to achieve your goals
Discipline
Consistency
Patience
#Berhampur | High alert issued in Ganjam district following a rise in COVID-19 cases in Andhra Pradesh.
CDMOs and PHOs have been directed to remain on high alert. #Odisha
Two things are happening right now. People are doom scrolling 4-5 hours a day. Brains are rotten, foggy and fried. People cannot sit with a hard problem for 10 minutes.
People are using AI for everything. They cannot write a simple email without ChatGPT. They can't do basic math. They can't think independently. Let's see how these two feed each other.
The more you scroll, the more your brain rots. More your brain rots, more you need AI for basic stuff. More you use AI, less your brain works. Less your brain works, more it craves low effort dopamine.
So you scroll more. Brain rots further. You depend on AI even more. It is a self serving loop and it is accelerating. Please break this loop or you are doomed.
Zombies aren't coming. They are already here, scrolling endlessly.
I live in Bengaluru. I leave for badminton every day at 6:40 am. The court is 5 km from my place. In the morning, it does not take more than 10 minutes.
I took the HAL Old Airport Road. Friday morning, the roads were empty. I was riding at roughly 60 km/h. There was a truck about 150m ahead of me, moving slowly in the left lane.
I planned to overtake it from right. I throttled my FZ, and just when I was 50-60m from the truck, it made an abrupt cut to the right.
My heart missed a beat and my reflexes took over. I applied both brakes with full power. Yamaha bikes have crazy braking. My bike stopped 4-5 metres short of the truck.
I was about to curse the truck driver when I saw a Zomato delivery guy on his Yulu, riding on the wrong side. The truck driver had made an abrupt cut to save him.
No wonder India is the road accident capital of the world. Nobody gives a f*ck about rules. If you ride a two-wheeler, pray for your life.
Things I learned during this Bangalore trip:
- MTR has better Dosa than Rameshwaram
- You can rent a 3-floor villa in Indiranagar at $2200 for 15 days
- You can get printouts delivered to you in 10 min via Blinkit
- You can get a toothbrush and toothpaste delivered to you in 10 min at 12.30 AM
- Every ambitious AI builder resides in Indiranagar
- Bangalore is in second position after Japan for matcha consumption
- Pineapple matcha is a thing
Prabal Pratap, you’re our hero.
We, the people of India, salute you, young man.
You risked your career and showed the judiciary its place by breaking the norm, replacing “Your Honour” with “Mr. Judicial Servant.” You reminded them that they are servants of the Indian judiciary and the people of India. You did what the people of the Republic of India wanted to do. You represent the ongoing condition and sentiments of the 1.4 billion people of this country.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you, Prabal Pratap. 🙏🏻🫡🇮🇳
This man bought 50 umbrellas for ₹5,000 at the rate of ₹100 each. Then he went and stood outside a metro station gate during the rain. People coming out of the station immediately bought umbrellas from him because of the heavy rainfall.
He sold each umbrella for ₹200 and sold all 50 umbrellas within just one hour.
He bought the umbrellas for ₹5,000 and sold them for ₹10,000, making a ₹5,000 profit in just one hour.
He does this every day by going to a rainy location for one hour and selling all his umbrellas, earning a lot of money.
He earns more than many people who work regular jobs by spending just one hour a day at a rainy location.
A perfect example of how smart thinking can create opportunities and profits.
