Ahhhhhh, so that's exactly where Salman got his savage humour from! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Salim Saab really is the ultimate university of unfiltered roasts, no matter if it's on his own sons 👑💀

Both sequences inspired by the iconic foot pursuit across SFO terminal and out onto the tarmac from Peter Yates' Bullitt (1968).

Peter Yates was a popular director among many Hindi filmmakers. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar is essentially a riff on Yates' coming-of-age comedy drama Breaking Away (1979).

Why is the minister challenging an officer working under his own govt 🤔

This moment will be discussed in MBA classes and motivational speeches.

There was no added pressure in his mind because for him it was just about winning the next point and the next game.

Doesn't even bother keeping track of the score in his mind. Just win the next point.

When @zoo_bear was arrested by Delhi Police in 2022 based on a manufactured complaint, court had ordered 4 days of remand and he was kept in IFSO office in Sector 16 in Dwarka during the remand period. I would go see him from a distance everyday because he was allowed to meet the lawyer everyday, and I would go along, but i wasn't allowed to speak with him. Once he was going to be taken for a health checkup (as part of regular procedure), which would mean he would have to be put into a police van and taken to the hospital. I was present there at that point in time and saw a lone camera person standing outside the gate. I was intrigued as to how does this media person know that Zubair's going to be taken for a checkup. I asked him which media organisation he's from, and it of course turned out to be ANI. Essentially Delhi Police had informed ANI that the camera person should be there so that the images can be shown widely on social media. Thankfully, that case didn't go the Umar Khalid way and he eventually got bail in 23 days. In those days, he was shuttled between different towns of UP and Delhi and the ANI camera followed him everywhere. Today, Swatantra Bhardwaj has been sent to police remand for an actual crime, but ANI has no photos to show.

You're picking the person who will be with you on the worst day of your life. The day you have to bury a parent, the day the doctor calls you to give you bad news, the day you lose the job, the day your dog that you've had for 14 years doesn't come home. That's who you're choosing. And still most people date like they're casting a movie. Do they give me butterflies? Are they exciting? Is their chemistry cool?Butterflies aren't gonna matter when life punches you in the face and when that day comes, you will not care how charming they were on the first date. You'll care whether they stayed, you'll care whether they showed up, you'll care if they made the effort and they made the unbearable feel bearable. The older I get, the less I'm asking myself if I want to spend a saturday night with this person, and the more I find myself asking, do I want this person to stand next to me when my life falls apart

How to destroy a beloved brand.

Step 1: Put a soulless, data-driven consultant who has never even seen a basketball court or a running track up close in charge.

Step 2: He goes direct! And increase profits while destroying the retail distribution system and betraying a multitude of 20-year-long partnerships.

Step 3: Motivated and innovative competitors like On Running and Hoka rush to fill the distribution gap Nike left by abandoning its trusted partners.

Step 4: Not satisfied, he fires all the stupid creative people who can't prove any of their ideas work with hard data. What could they possibly know?

Step 5: Celebrate when milking the brand for every last cent works for about 18 months, even though the data quickly show a disaster is looming.

Step 6: OMG? Wut?

Step 7: Fire the old CEO and bring in a new one who's been with the brand since day one. He tries his best, but just too much damage was done.

Step 8: Get delisted... Go down in history as the greatest example of data-driven idiots destroying one of the most successful creative brands of all time.

The end.

Sanath Jayasuriya scored more ODI runs than Brian Lara and took more ODI wickets than Shane Warne. He is the only cricketer in the history of the sport to score 10,000 runs and take 300 wickets in a single format. He sits fifth on the all-time ODI run list, above Lara, Kallis, Gilchrist, Jayawardene and Sehwag. I hope people never forget how good he was. He was one of a kind, a genuine unicorn.

Look at the batting first. 13,430 runs from 445 matches, fifth on the all-time list, and every single name below him on it is one of the most celebrated batters who has ever lived. Read that list again. Lara. Kallis. Gilchrist. Jayawardene. Sehwag. All of them behind him.

And with the ball, at exactly the same time, 323 ODI wickets at 36.75, with four five-wicket hauls and twelve four-fors. More than Warne, more than Vettori, more than Harbhajan, more than Saqlain. His best figures of 6 for 29 against England at Moratuwa in 1993 stood as the finest by any Sri Lankan in ODI history until Muralitharan finally beat them seven years later.

But how rare is the double, really? Jacques Kallis is the most complete all-rounder of the modern era and he is the closest anybody has come, finishing with 11,579 runs and 273 wickets, short on the bowling side. Nobody else in the history of cricket, in any format, has managed both halves. Not one other human being.

And then there is what he did to the sport itself. At the 1996 World Cup he scored 221 runs at a strike rate of 131.4, which even now, thirty years on, would raise eyebrows. He and Romesh Kaluwitharana simply decided to attack the first fifteen overs while the field was up, and within a few years every team on the planet had rebuilt its batting order around the idea. He was named Most Valuable Player of that tournament, and Wisden broke a long-standing tradition to name him one of its Five Cricketers of the Year.

Ah, and btw, that same year he became the first cricketer in international history to reach a century in under fifty balls, getting there in 48 against Pakistan.

Then Sharjah in 2000, which might be the most absurd innings anybody has played. Jayasuriya made 189 against India. That was 64% of Sri Lanka's entire total and 54% of every run scored in the whole match. India were then bowled out for 54, meaning one man outscored the entire opposition by 135 runs on his own.

He finished with 100 ODI catches, a winning record as captain, 48 Man of the Match awards and 11 Player of the Series awards, both of them second only to Sachin Tendulkar in the whole history of one-day cricket.

The real destructor. Nobody has done what he did, and nobody is close.

Caste, caste-based segregation, and casteist atrocities remain the only steady and immutable truth of India, for at least 1500 years at a stretch. The post is from a Brahmin, the pic is of a Dalit. No action will ever be taken.
