i somehow have to give credit to my parents that they provided for me and my sister without any vices or any poison
my dad doesn鈥檛 drink alcohol, he treats my mum nicely and absorbed tremendous amounts of pressure in past so many years and same for my mum as well
a large part of the generation has used substances and alcohol to make the case for them or has some weirdness
it actually takes a lot of gut and effort to be good, honest and without any vices
a devotion towards family and thrive in such situations
no saint is bigger than this for me
i mean they just stayed clean when staying clean was the harder thing. no speech, no performance, just a house that did not have that rot in it
if your parents never needed a drink to get through the day and never took the pressure out on each other then you already inherited something most people spend years unlearning
nobody talks about this because it looks ordinary from outside. it is not. it takes more spine to remain decent than to collapse and call it personality
i don鈥檛 romanticise them. i just know what they refused to become and that refusal raised us

But seeing some people post that all they want is NEPAL 2.0 who quote themselves as the "Far Lefts". Man just F off

After 6 months of hard work, we're ready to show what's next.
Get a glimpse of the latest gameplay trailer and story bits featuring Johnny Yong Bosch (who voices Ichigo from Bleach) as the voice actor of Vikram.
Been binge watching Varun Mayya's kata series lately.
Apart from the premium and pragmatic knowledge I gain, the kind of speaker he is has got me hooked to his content.
I aspire to be a speaker like you Varun ! @waitin4agi_
Why do humans become corrupt when they gain power and knowledge? Because-
Raw intelligence without values is dangerous
And that's the difference between intelligence and wisdom.
Respected power minister of WB @SuvenduWB
I hope you are sleeping well under your ac while half of your state enjoys summer with massive power cuts and the engineers of @WBSEDCL1 enjoy long night rides whenever they see any docket number.

Met a friend who is getting married this year. He said both families mutually decided not to buy gold and to keep things very basic, only rings and mangalsutra bcs the gold price has doubled and wedding budget would also double. Hence, they decided to save money for future purposes, as life is more than just two days of wedding.
Choosing marriage without gold is a good idea and should become normal. It should be mutually promoted by everyone, without judgment or criticism. Otherwise, middle class families may end up bankrupt or burdened with debt or loans.

I have no idea what happened in Kolkata in the Messi event. But I couldn't help thinking that we Indians really do not like sport. We like stars.
What else could explain the millions, and I mean millions of dollars we spend to fly in superstars, when they will not even play a proper match.
I am ok with paying whatever it takes to bring in a top football team to play in India, like Messi did in 2011 or Tata Steel did for a long time in the 80s and 90s.
But getting them to come here just to shake hands and pose for pictures defies all reason. They will sell real estate, take pictures with every sponsor and go back with more money in two days than say the I League used to spend in a year.
I don't blame the organizers for getting into this, its a really profitable business, because the politicians are getting serious free mileage and the sponsor is spending his, or his company's money to fulfil his childhood fantasy. The journalists are overawed just to be there with a generational superstar, lots of folks are spending a reported Rs 10 lacs for a handshake and a photo op and the real estate guys are busy pushing deals.
That's millions of bucks spent on a footballer, whose closest attempt at action would be kicking a few footballs at the crowd or dribbling for a few minutes. Money that is desperately desperately needed elsewhere in actual football. Real camps, matches, ground level sponsorships. Or even to revive a football league.
And then we expect India to be better at sport!
