“To beard the lion in his den.”

The dictionary defines it as boldly confronting a powerful rival on their own turf.

For years, Norway Chess has been Magnus Carlsen’s den. His turf. His domain.

So I woke up to this news and my jaw dropped.

You didn’t just win a title, @rpraggnachess.

You walked into the lion’s den and emerged victorious

This title is important. Not because of the trophy, but because of your challenger spirit.

And that’s something all of us can learn from…

🇮🇳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Billionaire Michael Milken joked “if a US company replaces the US-born CEO with a CEO born in India, I buy the stock”

But he reveals he hasn’t backtested the idea.
So we did.

In the last 15yrs, that would’ve 50x’d your money: 7.5x more $$ and >2x IRR vs S&P500: 30% vs 14%!

Approximately 40% of children in the U.S. are born to unmarried mothers, with rates peaking around 40.7% in 2012. While this average exists, rates vary significantly by state—reaching over 55% in Louisiana and Mississippi—and by demographic group, with higher percentages observed among non-Hispanic black and American Indian populations.

Audacity to call others "Bastards" 😂

People often think that PM Modi’s biggest political defeat was with the rollback of agricultural reforms.

For me the even bigger defeat has been with municipal governance reforms. It was so impossible that the PM didn’t even try it.

The Result: Every major city is a mess.

यह वीडियो ध्यान से देखिए, आपको समाज का एक बहुत बड़ा संदेश मिलेगा।

शाहरुख खान आते हैं

देवेंद्र फडणवीस खड़े होकर उनसे हाथ मिलाते हैं
एकनाथ शिंदे खड़े होकर उनसे हाथ मिलाते हैं

मगर अंबानी परिवार बैठे बैठे हाथ मिला लेता है अनंत अंबानी तक खड़े नहीं होते हैं
