Got a call from my daughter’s school today telling me that a boy she’d recently broken up with had deliberately smashed her MacBook because he was angry she ended the relationship.

Apparently, he wasn’t handling the breakup well and decided destroying something expensive was an appropriate response.

The school asked if I wanted reimbursement for the MacBook.

Absolutely.

I’d already started arranging a replacement because she needs it for school, but that doesn’t mean he gets to avoid the consequences of his actions.

Then they asked if I wanted to move forward with a disciplinary report regarding the threatening messages he’d been sending her after she repeatedly told him to leave her alone.

Again, absolutely.

Because this is exactly the kind of behavior people dismiss as “teenage drama” until……

THIS 18-YEAR-OLD DID NOT BLINK 🔥

RAJDEEP: CBSE says TCS quoted around ₹951 crore, Coempt Edutech around ₹384 crore. Lowest bidder wins, so rules were followed.

SARTHAK 🎯: My question is not whether CBSE followed the rules. My question is why CBSE changed the rules.

RAJDEEP: People say you are batting for the opposition.

SARTHAK 🔥: In a democracy, opposition parties are pressure groups. If someone supports me, I am thankful. If someone ignores me, I do not care.

Una tenista polaca de 24 años llegó a París la semana pasada clasificada en el puesto 114 del mundo, sin patrocinadores, sin ingresos garantizados y sin certeza siquiera de poder pagar su habitación de hotel.

Tuvo que ganar tres partidos de clasificación solo para entrar al cuadro principal del Abierto de Francia. El dinero de los premios solo se paga al final del torneo, así que una marca polaca de bebidas deportivas intervino discretamente y cubrió su factura de hotel.

Su nombre es Maja Chwalinska. Y hoy, juega la final del Abierto de Francia.

Antes de este torneo, había ganado exactamente un partido de cuadro principal de Grand Slam en toda su carrera. Luchó contra una depresión tan severa que en 2021 no podía levantarse de la cama. Se sometió a una cirugía de rodilla en 2022. Pasó años luchando en torneos menores por toda Europa solo para mantenerse a flote.

Luego llegó a París, ganó tres clasificatorios y siguió ganando. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nueve partidos seguidos. Un solo set perdido.

Ahora es la primera clasificatoria en la historia del Abierto de Francia en llegar a la final. La última vez que una clasificatoria alcanzó una final de Grand Slam fue Emma Raducanu en el Abierto de EE.UU. de 2021. Raducanu ganó.

Simplemente por llegar a la final, Chwalinska ha ganado más dinero en premios que en toda su carrera junta. El cheque por ser subcampeona es de $1.6 millones. Si gana hoy, se lleva $3.25 millones a casa.
Hace una semana no podía pagar su habitación de hotel.

A Chinese man dressed up as a pregnant woman and strolled through the streets of India.

He was harassed, stalked, touched, and chased by Indian men. 🤡🤡

What a bunch of assholes.

Absolutely shameful.

[Sandeep Mall @SandeepMall]

Rewinding a ten-minute dashcam video shows why civic sense in this country fails to improve. Most violators are young people. Schools taught these individuals to ban firecrackers and save water. Yet, these same people drive on the wrong side of the road and spit on the streets.

[Sundar Narayanan @sundarcin]

@SandeepMall I feel the climate plays a vital role in the road behaviour .. when it's burning hot like India, people tend to rush and reach destination. On cloudy days I have noticed people are more pleasant

Dharmendra Pradhan's son
is studying in America, so did Nirmala's and Jyotiraditya.

Piyush Goyal's son is studying in Singapore, Anurag Thakur's son is studying in Canada.

S. Jaishankar's son is studying in the UK & even Smriti Irani (who hardly studied) sent son to study there.

Nishikant Dubey's son studied in Scotland

So why would these people bother about NEET paper leak
or CBSE scam or communal distortion of history by NCERT?

Or care about your children getting pushed around in trains and buses or even committing suicide?

Government of Hypocrites from Top to Bottom!!

[Muthukrishnan Dhandapani @dmuthuk]

Today is one of the rare days I got up so early.

Going through the responses for datas share yesterday.

Even though it is not easy to get official data in India, I mentioned how things like employment, consumption, income and wealth can be approximately arrived at.

As I said, I've been doing this for nearly two decades for my own understanding. Subsequently started sharing the same.

It is not easy to get data in which states people have better employment opportunities. But we've data of self employed people in each state.

Our official unemployment rate is only 3.2%. Only when you dig behind the numbers, like the Indus Valley report I shared yesterday, you get to know what those numbers mean.

I've explained in detail last year how Shamika Ravi's data on most Indians coming out of poverty is wrong. Statistically you can make any number of people come out of poverty,if you keep the income or consumption threshold at impractical numbers, where meaningful survival is not possible. Those poverty numbers are completely detached from the realities of day to day existence.

It is not that I'm trying to show current NDA government in bad light. During UPA time too, I've written blogs criticising how impractical and meaningless are the poverty yardsticks provided by Suresh Tendulkar Committee. The difference is I hardly had few hundred people as audience then whereas now my views reach hundreds of thousands of people.

As we saw self employment means other than genuinely being on your own, also implies two important things - many are self employed due to lack of employment opportunities and are barely surviving. The indus valley report I shared yesterday pointed out how one third of self employed are unpaid helpers in household enterprises.

The attached image contains the state wise breakup of self employed.

It is not an indicator of how entrepreneurial each state is. Instead it is an indicator of employment opportunities available in each state.

In reality, unemployment is very high in India. Just to repeat for better understanding. I explained how 58% of our labour force is self employed. Self employed does not refer to only really self employed. It includes many who don't get employment and barely surviving doing something on their own. More than 100 million self employed people are unpaid and they work in household enterprises. They just get some food to eat and place to stay.

The states which have less self employed are the ones who are able to provide formal employment. Self employment in India is not an entrepreneurial indicator but an unemployment indicator.

Tamil Nadu has the lowest number of self employed people in the country. It has the maximum number of factory workers in the country. And most of them are formally employed. This means they have PF, ESI and gratuity. All industries provide free food, free transport and free healthcare. They are entitled to leave as per government guidelines. Many industries support working women by having creche in the premises and taking care of kids.

Tamil Nadu evaluates investments primarily on the jobs it would be able to create. Getting billions of dollars investment but with negligible employment potential has never attracted the state.

Gujarat too is a highly industrialised state. But why 'self employment' is high because it has many capital intensive and not labour intensive industries.

[Darab Farooqui @darab_farooqui]

I am so exasperated and infuriated after watching this.

The doctor makes a straightforward point.

Jeetendra Chaubey is not an expert in his domain, so who is he to debate him on it? Fair, reasonable, inarguable.

The anchor's rebuttal? "But in his defense (cute+dumb smile) he went to Harvard and got his FULL..."

She stops herself mid-sentence. Cut down instantly by the doctor, who points out that anyone can get that certificate for fifty dollars.

And she keeps on smiling.

I so wished the doctor had paused right there and asked: "How dumb do you feel right now?"

Can you believe it, she had no idea that the medical certificate was as good as an ass wipe and she just... smiles.

And keeps going. That smile. God, that smile. Cute and dumb and empty. As if being proven wrong on national television is water off a duck's back. Zero shame.

Then the doctor, visibly exasperated, makes his position crystal clear.

These are not opinions. These are not his personal views. These are scientifically proven facts. The science is done. The conclusion is established.

And she smiles again, tilts her head, and asks: "But to his point, aren't you then being a little absolutist?"

I nearly lost my mind.

Imagine she visits a doctor with her blood report. The report says she is anemic. She gets tested again. Still anemic. Five tests.

Same result every single time.

Would she then lean forward, smile sweetly, and ask: "Doctor, aren't you being a little absolutist? Just because every test says so..."

That is not absolutism, you dumb duck.

That is the scientific method. Repeated testing. Consistent results. Verified conclusion.

This isn't even intelligence. This is basic, functional, common sense. Low level common sense.

Like, you don't touch fire, type of common sense.

And this is the state of India Today. The fact that this woman has a job on national television, interviewing experts, shaping public understanding.

That is the part that truly terrifies and breaks my heart simultaneously.

India has been taken over by 60 IQ monkeys.

A fortnight ago, I booked an AC service with Urban Company.
I have four ACs at home—three split and one window. I just needed a general wash and service.

The technician arrived on time and immediately said, "Madam, we'll check the gas and cooling first. If there's a problem later, don't blame us."

I said, "Okay, check it."

He checked the first AC and said, "Gas is low."

He checked the second one and said, "Gas is low on that one too."

Now I felt a little strange... because I had just bought the second one new last year.

I said, "Check all four ACs first."

He checked all four.

He said, "Gas is low on three."

The machine showed an error on one.

But the funny thing is?
All four ACs were cooling perfectly fine.

Two were brand new.

One was 2 years old.

One was 4 years old.

I said, "Look, I just want my AC washed. If the gas is low, I'll have the company refill it later. You just service it."

But the real game began there.

He said, "No, ma'am, we won't service it without refilling it."

I said, "Does that mean I'll have to force you to refill it?"

I immediately called customer support.

But the answer was the same: "Ma'am, this is our protocol..."

I said, "Okay, then, I don't need any of your services. Cancel it."

The service was cancelled...
On top of that, I was slapped with a cancellation penalty, saying, "We sent a professional, but you refused."

All I was saying was, "I want an AC wash, not unnecessary gas filling."

Then I called my local AC guy.

He serviced it with ease...
And what was the truth?

Only one AC was slightly low on gas.

The other three ACs were absolutely perfect.

The cooling was also first-class.

If you keep pushing the service like this...

People will abandon the big companies and trust the local ones.

India trains the engineer.

America files the patents.
Gurtej Sandhu was raised in Amritsar and trained at IIT Delhi.

He now holds 1,299 US patents at Micron, Edison topped out at 1,093.

Sandhu is the 7th most prolific inventor in American history.

His titanium nitride deposition work is why every DRAM cell in your phone and every GPU training a foundation model actually holds charge.

Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix own 95% of global DRAM.

None of them are Indian.

We export the inventor.

We import the chip.

The 4 basics that capture 80% of health’s benefits:
• Move regularly (30 min min, most days)
• Sleep 7–8 hours, consistently
• Eat mostly real, whole food
• Don’t smoke.
That’s it. Nothing glamorous. But this is where almost all the magic lives.

If you have ever listened or read Srimad Bhagwat you may have come across - Navdha Bhakti- the nine forms of devotion. Stripped of its spiritual packaging, it becomes a surprisingly practical guide to building meaningful life.

Here’s what those nine forms look like in today’s world:

Listen deeply
Speak honestly
Reflect consistently
Contribute selflessly
Create structure
Show appreciation
Take responsibility
Build trust
Stay open

A blueprint for living a perfect life.

@SandeepMall 1 min high intensity with 2 min cooling off at low activity x 5 times - is this an acceptable start sir?
