76% of people respond to a smartphone notification within 5 minutes.

Most respond within 90 seconds.

Each response is a focus break.

With the average person receiving 80+ notifications per day, that's 80+ focus breaks, most of them for nothing important.

The phone isn't a communication device anymore.

It's an interruption machine that occasionally makes calls.

When you think no one is buying Maruti because their car quality is poor. Even with E20 norms, Maruti is outselling Tatas and Mahindras and that too with such a huge margin.

In Silos, Season 3 she says: ‘We have been asking the same question again and again, why was the silos built?’ Madam, we have been asking the same question right from the 1st episode of season 1. Thank god I didn’t go beyond season 1 of this wretched series. #appletv

The most valuable wealth you have isn't money.
It's time.

35GB of data per person/month is the average internet consumption in India, this is the highest in the world. Still many of them waste time watching reels.

We all get the same 24 hours. What we do with it is the real wealth. I really loved this whole interview of @kunalb11 with @_groww

millionth claim and zillionth rebuttal. kya chal raha hai? khatam karo yaar.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's new claim of a deal being signed tomorrow, saying the insistence on signing the deal on specifically Sunday is engineered around his own birthday, calling it a "propaganda event" that Trump is trying to turn into a unilateral "symbolic occasion" for himself, along with his UFC White House event, per Fars.

The Iranian negotiating team says it "will not permit such a media and ceremonial manoeuvre," explicitly stating that the memorandum of understanding has not been finalized and no signing will happen.

[Tarun Vaid @weirdlywired]

Loved it.

🎬 Disclosure Day (2026)

A kind of film that reminds you how exciting original storytelling can be.

It drops you into its world with little context, trusting the audience to catch up rather than spoon-feeding every detail. At first, it feels almost disorienting, but that confusion quickly turns into curiosity as the film slowly reveals what is really happening.

The story builds toward a worldwide revelation that humanity is not alone and explores how society, religion, and individuals react when that truth can no longer be hidden.

What impressed me most was how confidently it unfolds. Every scene adds another piece to the puzzle, and by the time the bigger picture emerges, you realize how carefully everything was constructed. The runtime is tight and efficient, never dragging or overexplaining itself.

The film thrives on atmosphere and uncertainty. It constantly keeps you guessing, making even ordinary conversations feel loaded with meaning. There is a refreshing sense of unpredictability here that is increasingly rare in modern thrillers.

The ending will likely divide audiences. It does not provide all the answers some viewers may be hoping for, choosing ambiguity over complete closure. Personally, I found that choice fitting. It leaves you thinking about the film long after it ends and creates a lingering desire to spend more time in its world.

@RaminNasibov This book written by Amor Towles. A writing weaved beautifully with history, not just in the events that unfolded in Russia but also in the architecture that was and the loneliness of a man forgotten. #AGentlemanInMoscow
