Learn to love the interruptions. Find the fun in the delay, the humor in the challenge, the pleasure in the daily commute.
A great deal of life is spent dealing with interruptions and waiting for the conditions to turn. We think, "If I can just get past this, then things will open up." But the interruption is not standing between you and your life. It is your life.
Yes, I prefer hassle-free days too. But you'll rarely find a situation that is all bad. There are little pockets of joy folded inside the annoyances we face. There is always fun to be had, if you go looking for it.
This is one of the arts of living. It's the art of enjoying the imperfect days. It's the art of making all the moments count.
Thank you for joining me in Melbourne tonight @narendramodi.
Our Indian community has contributed so much to the story of modern Australia.
And it’s made our country a better place.
Tonight we celebrated the special relationship between Australia and India.
What happens when you die:
They divide up your shit.
They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.
People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.
Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.
Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.
You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.
Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.
We find peace when we stop trying to control what others think of us. Most people will form their own views no matter what we do, so we can focus on being our best selves.
यहां हर रोज़ ही गुमनाम लोग मरते हैं
किसी को क्या पड़ी कि आम लोग मरते हैं
कभी है हादिसे का डर कभी दरिंदों का
सुबह का वक्त हो या शाम लोग मरते हैं
सुनो हाकिम ने कहा ये हमारे मरने पर
लगा दो मौत का कुछ दाम लोग मरते हैं
ज़रा जल्दी करो गुस्साए कोई न सत्ता पर
किसी पे डाल दो इल्ज़ाम लोग मरते हैं
अरे जो पाते हैं ताक़त हवादिस और दंगों से
हुए जाते हैं वो गुलफ़ाम लोग मरते हैं
भले माने न कोई पर ये बात है सच कि
यही है हालत-ए-आवाम लोग मरते हैं

Aao Bachcho Tumhen Dikhayeh Jhaanki Ek Superpower ki -
Scrambled onto helicopters from rooftops to escape from Vietnam.
Left Iraq, Libya, Syria in flames.
Slipped out of Afghanistan in the dead of night,
leaving behind weaponry and even their own dogs.
And now, Iran!
Seems narrative building is best left to Hollywood for a superpower that enters every war claiming certainty,
and exits calling it strategy.
My generation has lived through a rare, beautiful curve: a simple beginning, a transforming country, a technology boom that lifted us, and now, the science to keep us going. We were born in one world and helped build another. Now, we get the privilege of watching a third one rise through the eyes of our grandchildren.
The '60s generation' is the luckiest in history.
India is the world's largest cotton producer. Yet, it clothes its delivery riders in polyester and pays its manufacturers to make more of it.
This is the story of a colonial dress code India never went away and is now even being subsidised. 🧵
You can read your entire evolutionary history in what your body does to food. Every gene you carry is a note your ancestors left about what they ate. And what we eat today has left no note yet, because we haven't had time to adapt to it
