30 years ago today, a miracle of science gave me a second chance at life. My 30th birthday itself didn't seem a momentous occasion but somehow today does. Maybe it's time I honor that by taking care of myself as well as I can henceforth? #Musings

Jokes aside, it's quite difficult to sum up Erik ten Hag's time in charge of Manchester United. A very capable tactician when things are rolling well and a very respectful and affable person. Treated Manchester United with respect and did win two trophies. Interestingly his best performance came in season one when expectations were lowest. Was able to roll with the punches, dealt with Ronaldo situation and managed to find a way of playing even when the Glazers only allowed him a loan replacement in Weghorst. Sevilla tie seemed to change him, it was a lot of bad happening at once and pressure steadily ramped up from there and it got on top of him. Missing Martinez for the start of his next season was a blow and the transfer strategy seemed odd. Obsession with getting Mount and playing a double no.10 in midfield seemed to be a backwards step, it created huge holes in midfield and the team has lacked any real structure ever since. Then, it seemed like Ten Hag let the size of the job get on top of him. Once expectation returned, the pressure ramped up and it wasn't something he thrived under. Became more insular and his press conference answers appeared more about self-defence than anything. Ten Hag will not be damaged by the United job, it's widely understood to be the toughest gig around, and I'd definitely keep an eye on the soon-to-be vacant position at Dortmund as a bounceback landing for him.
@vrsiddareddy@seskar Hi Anna. Sapiens అనువాదం మీద పని చేస్తున్నట్టు ఆయన నాకు చెప్పారు last time కలిసినప్పుడు. 21 lessons for 21st century అప్పటికి పూర్తి చేశారు, ప్రచురించబడింది కూడా.
This is purely conditioned bias. మా చిన్నాన్న గారు రచయిత, విజ్ఞాన అనువాదకులు. ఆయన ఎన్నో ప్రముఖ విజ్ఞాన పుస్తకాలను, సంకలనాలను తెలుగులో కి అనువదించారు. Yuval Noah Harari 'Sapiens' లాంటి లోతైన పుస్తకం కూడా. సరిగ్గా చేసే వాళ్ళు, వాటిని ఆదరించే వాళ్ళు ఉండటం ముఖ్యం. @seskar
@MantadaPooja Science fiction, philosophy (Indian/Hindu philosophies కాకుండా మిగతావి),..ఇలాంటివి ఇంగ్లీషులో చెప్పినంత ప్రభావవంతంగా తెలుగులో చెప్పలేం. ఇది కొన్ని వాక్యాలు, వ్యాకరణం గురించి కాదు. మొత్తం విషయం ఇంగ్లీష్ లో చదివితే అర్థమయినంత సులభంగా తెలుగులో అర్థం కాదు. అలా అని తెలుగు తక్కువ కాదు
@bmadhu@seskar Harari చర్చించిన విషయాల లో నాకు ఐతే కొత్త కోణం కనిపించింది. ఎంచుకున్న విషయాలపై కూడా లోతుగానే విశ్లేషించారు. Euro Centric? Possibly, but I don't think it's necessarily a negative. Excited to read 'The Golden Road' by William Dalrymple for that reason.
@bmadhu@seskar సరే అండి 😊 నా దృష్టిలో మానవ పరిణామ క్రమం చర్చించే విషయం లో Jared Diamond రాసిన 'Guns, Germs, & Steel' తరువాత అంతటి విస్తారమైన పుస్తకం 'Sapiens' ఏ.
Though slightly missing Docter's midas touch as he didn't direct it, the movie brings together all the 'emotions' brilliantly with its poignant message of how every emotion is important in finding a 'sense of self.'
A must watch! Can't wait for #3 if there's one!

1) Inside Out 2
⭐⭐⭐⭐
#InsideOut2 is a brilliant watch!
Back when #InsideOut came out, I was blown away by its ontological brilliance. I really thought Pete Docter had outdone himself after Wall-E & Up.
Although, I kept wondering how a sequel would look & how other emotions that come up during childhood & adolescence would be built into the narrative. When I watched the trailer of #InsideOut2, 'Anxiety' drew me in & I couldn't wait.
I miss my dad every day, when I can't share the good or bad in my life. I don't have the support system I didn't even know I crave for...
But my uncle & dad's best mate from childhood sent us these yesterday (all 3 were classmates) which brought a cheer to me in a moment of low
