I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Not sure if this video is real but reports from BBC and human rights groups show that the abduction and forced conversion of Hindu girls in Pakistan is a long-standing issue with hundreds to around 1,000 cases estimated each year.

[Arshia Malik @arshiaunis]

Let's not forget facts in the Bollywood fiasco of Haq movie.
Shah Bano was 62 years old in 1978 when Mohd. Ahmed Khan, lawyer (read that again, lawyer knowing the personal Muslim laws all too well) in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, divorced the mother of his five children (three sons and two daughters), because he wanted to marry a younger woman.

After 43 years of marriage, Ahmed Khan pronounced the instant triple talaq orally and stopped providing financial support, claiming his obligation under Muslim Personal Law ended after paying the mahr (dower) and maintenance during the iddat period (about three months post-divorce).

Shah Bano filed a petition in 1978 under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973 — a secular provision that requires a person with sufficient means to provide maintenance to his wife (including a divorced wife) if she cannot maintain herself. In the 60s, as a senior citizen, you need money for medicines, etc.

A local magistrate initially awarded her ₹25 per month, which the Madhya Pradesh High Court later increased to ₹179.20. Khan appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that Muslim Personal Law limited his liability to the iddat period and that CrPC Section 125 did not apply to Muslims.

On April 23, 1985, a five-judge bench led by Chief Justice Y.V. Chandrachud (yes, that Chandrachud) unanimously ruled in favor of Shah Bano. The Court directed Khan to pay Shah Bano maintenance and even added ₹10,000 as costs.

The verdict, upholding the rights of a Muslim woman, over sharia laws because she was a citizen of India first and then a Muslim woman, sparked nationwide outrage among conservative Muslim groups, who saw it as judicial interference in religious personal law (Shariat). Protests erupted, with Muslim elite leaders claiming it violated Islamic principles and Muslim lobby groups threatening riots.

The Rajiv Gandhi government (Congress), fearing loss of Muslim votes, reversed course. In 1986, Parliament passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, which effectively diluted the judgment. Read again - the reversal limited a husband's maintenance obligation to the iddat period. It shifted responsibility after iddat to relatives or the Waqf Board. And we all know now what the Waqf Board actually does for Muslim individuals.

This move was vote-bank politics and an appeasement of the Muslim far-right conservative elements. Since then the Congress has been losing its image, credibility and in the 21st century, the modern, progressive Muslim vote also.

Later Supreme Court rulings restored the spirit of the Shah Bano judgment.

- Danial Latifi v. Union of India (2001) — Upheld the 1986 Act's validity but interpreted it to require a "reasonable and fair provision" during iddat that could cover lifetime needs (effectively a lump-sum payment).

- Subsequent cases like Shamima Farooqui v. Shahid Khan and Mohd. Abdul Samad v. State of Telangana (2024) reaffirmed that Muslim women can claim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC, overriding restrictive personal law interpretations.

The case paved the way for later reforms, such as the criminalization of instant triple talaq in 2017–2019.

But Indians are not Persians, especially Indian Muslims; they do not posses the courage to challenge sharia laws, Muslim hypocrisy or Muslim communalism or racism, for that matter. Therefore, Indian Muslim women will continue to be suppressed under the vote bank politics and appeasement of elite Muslim lobby groups because it doesn't suit the establishment to lock horns with them in geopolitcal chessboard of Great Games and Greater New Games.

Peace
Nothing to fix. Nothing missing.

Joy
Life feels light and effortless.

Love
Connection without conditions.

Reason
Clear seeing. Perspective returns.

Acceptance
This is what is.

Neutrality
I’m okay either way.

Courage
I can face this.

Anger
This is not fair.

Desire
I need something to feel okay.

Fear
Something bad might happen.

Grief
Something important is gone.

Apathy
Why even try.

Guilt
I did something wrong.

Shame
I am wrong.

These our states of perception. The same event looks completely different depending on where you're operating from.

Shame sits at the bottom because it collapses the sense of self itself.
When the identity feels defective, perception turns inward and hostile. Energy drains fast.

Shame sees proof of unworthiness. Fear sees threat. Anger sees injustice. Acceptance sees reality as it is.

Progress is not about bypassing or forcing positivity. Consciousness rises by integrating lower states, not rejecting them.

Each level dissolves only when it is fully seen and allowed. That's why moral effort, spiritual performance, or mental reframing alone won't work.

[Revant Himatsingka “Food Pharmer” @foodpharmer2]

When I first researched Knorr, I was shocked to learn that this is the no. 1 ingredient in most of its soups:

Maida.

Soup is supposed to be predominantly water or broth or vegetables. But the sad reality is:

- Knorr mushroom soup only has 2.5% mushrooms 
- Knorr chicken soup only has 2.2% chicken.
- The first ingredient in Knorr’s Tomato “Chatpata” is sugar.

When I was growing up my parents would not let me have tea and coffee and instead they would give me Knorr soups during winters as they believed it was healthy.

The saddest part is, Knorr UK has completely different ingredients than Knorr India.

For how long will international food companies give inferior quality products to Indians?

So my advice is: “Ig–KNORR” Knorr’s ads and have homemade soups instead.

Message from Hanuman Ji

Where storms of doubt and despair rage fiercely, remember this

I, Hanuman, son of the wind, crossed the boundless sea to Lanka not by my own might alone, but by the ashirvaad of my Sri Ram, whose name ignites the fire of inner strength within my soul.

जयत्यथि बलो रामो लक्ष्मणश्च महाबल���।
राजा जयति सुग्रीवो राघवेणाभिपालितः ll
दशोहं कौशलेन्द्रस्य रामस्यक्लिष्टकर्मणः l
हनुमान शत्रुसैन्यनां निहंता मारुतात्मजः ॥

Save this रामायण जय मंत्र यह विपरीत परिस्थितियों में विजय, भक्ति और साहस को प्रकट करता है.

-It’s confirmed that Dipu Chandra Das saved himself from the blood thirsty mob & took shelter in the Bhaluka police station
-Officer-in-Charge Humayun Kabir of the police station instead of protecting him, handed him over to the mod
-Thereafter the mob lynched & burned him alive in the presence of the police

They started as mentor and disciple.
They ended as rivals.

Don't disrespect yourself by begging anyone for bare minimum. You'II never have to ask the right person for attention, time, respect, loyalty, or love. Because you're worth it and you deserve it. If someone doesn't naturally recognize your value — don’t try to convince them.

[Spiritual GPS Service @AstroCounselVik]

Moral jab wrapped in sarcasm!!

This is exactly what I am talking about, shaming people because you can't imagine sexuality outside guilt or indulgence.

Do you know who was the 17th guru of lord Dattatreya? Pingala, the courtesan.

Everything in the world can be a Guru if you have the right awareness.

nothing is inherently impure..Aghor!!

Stop shaming people.

There’s a dangerous tendency among us to believe that once an irritant is out of sight, the problem is solved.

We do it with garbage. We do it with slums. Both times, the problem has come back bigger and uglier.

Now, the Supreme Court wants to do it with stray dogs , sweeping them into “shelters” with no plan, no standards, and no attempt to tackle root causes.

Where are these shelters? Who will run them? We already know what municipal “care” looks like for humans…imagine the hellholes that await animals.

The way we treat cows, monkeys, donkeys, or dogs is the truest reflection of who we are.
Strays did not choose abandonment, thirst, hunger, disease, or human cruelty.
Feeding them is momentary relief, not a solution.
If there is a long-term policy for abandoned and stray animals, it must be clearly spelt out and rigorously implemented.

Not half-baked diktats, but compassion backed by expertise should decide their fate. Anything less is not justice, it is cowardice dressed as order.
