@RajeswariAiyer @95bac2b083c44e3 @JumbuTweeple @Gopalee67 I read somewhere that Yajur Madhwas are doing their Upakarma tomorrow but the rest would have done it today.

@bhaleraosarang 3 - is there any doubt?

@samiprajguru @BCCI @GautamGambhir @ShubmanGill I think we are back in the 1990s - this team is average at best. At least, the 90s team was not overhyped.

A reminder from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson:

“Happiness comes from solving problems. The keyword here is "solving." If you're avoiding your problems or feel like you don't have any problems, then you're going to make yourself miserable. If you feel like you have problems that you can't solve, you will likewise make yourself miserable. The secret sauce is in the solving of the problems, not in not having problems in the first place. To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is therefore a form of action; it's an activity.”

I was just in Mumbai, and I have to give them credit for the progress they’re making on infrastructure. The new Aqua Line metro is phenomenal. But the amount of work India still has to do on basic cleanliness and sanitation and it is hard to understand until you see it yourself. Would love for more westerners to go just to understand how wealthy they are, but that's a different point.

Mumbai is completely surrounded by water, yet there are almost no places where people can actually enjoy the water. The beaches are filled with trash, the water is badly contaminated, and almost nobody swims, even when it’s brutally hot outside. Walking on the beach is just mud and trash meeting filthy water on the horizon.

There are much poorer places around the world where people can still use the beaches. This is not just about money. India has gone decades without adequate trash collection, sewage treatment, or enforcement for a population of more than a billion people. At this point, the scale of the problem feels almost impossible, and the oceans around the world are paying the price for Indias garbage output as well.

I like the direction Modi is taking the country, but India needs to treat cleanup like a national emergency. Stop with the small campaigns and organize a full scale blitz.

Offer unemployed people paid work picking up trash, clearing drains and waterways, cleaning beaches, and maintaining public spaces. Give them proper equipment and supervision. Then build the collection and waste processing systems needed to stop everything from becoming filthy again a week later.

India has shown that it can build metros, airports, highways, and digital infrastructure. Clean streets and usable water should be treated as infrastructure too.

Mumbai should have one of the greatest waterfronts in the world. Instead, it's has basically an irrelevant feature of the city and feels surrendered to sewage and garbage.

Here is another true Gem "Ae mere dile nadaan tu gham se na ghabraana" from the film "Tower House" (1962).

This song is different from the usual songs. It may look like a sad song, because it contains words like “gham”, Zakhm” etc, and also because it is sung in a slow tempo, like sad songs. But in reality, this song is one where the lady puts up a brave face and resolves to fight on, despite facing heavy odds in life.

One of the great songs of early 1960s, it has got more popular with time among discerning audience. Of course, it was not all that popular among ordinary listeners during its days. This song never made it to Binaca geetmala finals. Whenever I come across good philosophical songs like this, I almost second guess that such songs may not have done well at the popularity contests like Binaca geetmala.

Ravi was one of those music directors who would give his best however rubbish the movie itself may be. And now, no one recalls this movie, but the song is regarded as a classic by everyone. And the lyrics were penned by that lesser known lyricist Asad Bhopali, who was so underestimated during his days that he got much fewer assignments that he deserved. Just go through the lyrics. One may not be fully able to understand what he is trying to say, but one can realise that it is some high philosophical poetry.

Sung by Lata Mangeshkar this song conveys a profound message about facing life's struggles. The song serves as a means of comforting a broken heart and inspiring it to not succumb to circumstances. It can be seen as a symbol of the inner courage and bravery of the heroine, who resolves to move forward in life despite the overwhelming external challenges. The song beautifully expresses that sad, yet strong-willed feeling, where the heart is assured that after every night there is a beautiful dawn.

The song delivers a strong message against avoiding the harsh realities of life. It encourages people to face their grief, making it a highly inspiring song for those struggling with loneliness and betrayal. The song gives courage to the brokenhearted and advocates keeping a brave face in the face of adversity.

This song is a two version song. So, here is this timeless inspirational composition for your listening pleasure.
