Odyssey is such a weird movie. Ancient Greece or whatever. And then suddenly there is an X-men character in it.

Nolan has really fallen off.

तू इधर उधर की न बात कर @benstokes38,
ये बता कि एशेज और इस सीरीज का क्या हुआ?
मुझे बैज़बॉल से गिला नहीं,
किसी मेजर टीम से तेरे न जीतने का सवाल है।

In his last 4 movies, @LeoDiCaprio has played a fragile leading man haunted by the dark truths of his past, fading relevance & impending change.
Sign of a very secure A-lister!

New video on why we suffer in our work & career, and why competence is the way out.

If you’ve tried to build a career while holding on to sanity, joy & purpose, you’ve likely felt conflict & pain quite often.

Steyn was once asked in an interview to name three things that people think are real but they're actually not.

His answers were

1. Moon landing
2. Covid Virus
3. Reverse Swing

Dale Steyn & Outswinger : A Love Story

Every batsman playing against @DaleSteyn62 knows what's coming.

It's written on his boarding pass & hotel room. It's discussed in the team meetings and newspapers. Even before he sets foot on the ground, he knows what's coming.

Students wrote things like - "In the mother's lap, in the lover's arm, in the child's laughter, etc."

Steyn wrote - "At the outside edge of the bat."

Like Bumrah, I also managed my workload very well in the office today. Especially between 3:30-4:30 pm.

Finally let's end this thread in a typical Kiwi style wholesomeness.

Nathan Astle and his wife Kelly own a cute little daycare center in Christchurch, NZ called Kiwi Kids Preschool!

As a father of two young children, this one gave me the most joy!

Thanks for reading.
