"In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors."(Judge writing for the 6-3 U.S. SC majority that decided in favour of the press.)

I'm surprised by this line: “We continue to advise our customers to always refuel at authorised and reputed fuel stations to minimise the risk of fuel contamination or adulteration, which can adversely affect vehicle performance.”

I’m curious - are there unauthorised petrol pumps operating openly in India that the rest of us should know about?

this is what happens when you don't diversify your protfolio. Counting on one or two stoxks can be very brutal if the stock starts to down

₹57 LAKHS GONE. My life savings destroyed in TCS & Infosys 😭💔
From ₹1.72 CRORE → ₹1.15 CRORE in months.
-33% bloodbath.
I kept averaging down like an idiot. Ignored every stop-loss. Thought I was smarter than the market.
Now I’m just crying, can’t sleep, can’t eat. Completely broken.
This is what overconfidence does to you.
Sell everything and accept this nightmare? Or keep holding the bags?
Be brutally honest… I don’t know what to do anymore.

Azteca stadium, where England play Mexico, is at an altitude of 7350ft. To give context to Indians, its about the same altitude as Shimla and about 600 ft above Darjeeling.
It is a challenging venue for teams who haven't acclimatized.

Morocco is a great example of why players with ethnic backgrounds in the West should play for their ancestral countries rather than the country where they live.

Lesser pressure, lower expectations, no media witch-hunting and you could be the star of the team.

Brahim would have been watching the World Cup from his couch if he had chosen Spain over Morocco. Instead he has now led Morocco to quarterfinals of the WC.

Throwback to this video from 2024 :

Podcaster: “Sir, we require 10 billion litres of water for Ethanol production in India. Bangalore and Mumbai are facing severe water crisis as per reports…”

Nitin Gadkari: “Those who do such type of arguments are the biggest Anti-nationals in India.”

Podcaster: 😲

Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett on Ethanol blending in Petrol:

“Ethanol blending is a very stupid way to try and solve an energy problem.”

“It takes more fossil fuel energy to create ethanol than you can get out of ethanol you’ve created.”

A daycare employee at Capgemini's Bengaluru campus couldn't bear the abuse of the kids at the centre.

She reported it to supervisor, but instead of taking action, they fired her. She then became a whistleblower and leaked videos that exposed the abuse.

In the videos, toddlers were made to sit inside the drum of a front-loading washing machine, had water sprayed into their mouths using a toilet jet spray, were locked inside bathrooms, and were forced into narrow, water-filled pipes to frighten them. The videos triggered outrage, forcing authorities to act.

Today, according to media reports, the police have arrested the whistleblower only for allegedly "leaking sensitive videos." Lol! What a system! A poor woman with a clear conscience stood up to the powerful and went public, not for personal gain or with any malicious intent, but solely to protect those children. And she's the one who gets arrested.

One of cricket's funniest banters 😂

During Steve Waugh's farewell Test, Parthiv Patel joked, "Where's your favourite slog sweep? It's your last chance to show your fans!"

Waugh fired back: "Show some respect. You were in your nappies when I made my Test debut 18 years ago." 😂

Ironically, Waugh got out attempting a slog sweep. After the match, Parthiv finally went to congratulate him... but Steve didn't even look at him. 😂

Years later, when Steve's son sledged Parthiv, he got the exact same reply. Full circle! 🤣

Reason newsrooms are not losing their minds, no explosion of anger, no pressure on men to collectively condemn, and women are not declaring they are afraid to marry, is bec this happens too frequently to move us anymore. Probably not the only such crime even to happen that day

Jee haan sanskar ka theka keval auraton ne le rakha hai even when the man betrays her

As it is, it is only the women who bear the consequences

Let me tell you a story

Harivansh Rai Bachchan gets his friend's widow pregnant when he was around 20

The family takes her for a 'pilgrimage'. She comes back very pale and dies a little later

A life snuffed out at maybe 17 or 18

Bachchan himself gets married. His wife dies
Then he gets married again to Teji.
Has kids with her.
Lives a full life

THAT is the difference in consequences

This is not gossip

This is something Bachchan has himself written in his autobiography - I have read all four volumes in Hindi more than once (recommended)

But compared to many other incidents in his life the reporting of this is quite matter of fact and not something which caused him a great deal of grief or guilt in life... Just a footnote in a long and happy life.

Remember he was a poet so quite high on the emotional quotient otherwise

On the other hand, hers was a life snuffed out in teenage itself for the crime of being a widow and becoming pregnant

Men get away scot-free and even today the Indian sanskari ones happily joke about going to Bangkok and Pattaya while putting all sorts of restrictions on the women in their household.

Bachchan himself wrote that he was so disappointed after his first grand child was a girl that he went into depression. One thought that at he would have been happy given that he had no daughters of his own!

Misogyny runs very deep in Indian society
