new fav personal assistant use case unlocked!
i was annoyed that the roads near my house in HSR were dug up for MONTHS making it hard to even walk and it felt like there's nothing i could do about it!
early sept i asked faff to find a way to flag this to the authorities...
Sad to see a city I first moved to after my hometown, came to love living in, built memories in different parts of the city being destroyed by such thugs.
Pathetic if we can't pay contractual amount to coaches who helped break a ceiling. Another point that in some cases we are paying exorbitant amount lik Criag Fulton getting 25 lakh a month
🚨 COACH DAVE COUSINS THREATENS TO QUIT OVER UNPAID DUES!
American Dave Cousins, India’s chief compound archery coach appointed in May, has reportedly threatened to leave the country over three months of unpaid dues.
The Archery Association of India and Sports Authority of India officials attributed the delay to a technical issue, which they said has been resolved. The payment is expected to be cleared within a couple of days.
Cousins helped India win 3 Gold and 1 Bronze medal in Compound archery at the Asian Games 2026

Watching Elon Musk this week has been a fascinating character study in the saviour complex of Western tech billionaires.
They arrive in your country selling you the future. Welcome them, and you’re a country that wants progress. Make them wait, and suddenly your people are victims who need rescuing from their own institutions by the chosen one.
It’s a pattern. When Thai rescuers didn’t use the mini-submarine Musk sent for the trapped boys, and diver Vernon Unsworth called the idea impractical, Musk attacked him as the “pedo guy.”
When Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered X to comply with its rulings, Musk called the judge a “dictator.”
The script rarely changes. Only the country does.
The colonial mindset isn’t always about wanting to rule a country. Sometimes it’s the assumption that you arrive as its saviour, and if the country doesn’t immediately recognise you as one, something must be wrong with the country.
Stunning to say the least. Which agency did he share/sell to if not Russia
BREAKING: Germany has arrested former BND chief August Hanning in a major suspected espionage and treason case involving highly classified intelligence on Iran’s nuclear programme and the Russian military.
According to investigations by WDR, NDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating Hanning over suspected treasonous espionage, obtaining state secrets, attempted treason and intelligence-agent activity.
Investigators from the Federal Criminal Police Office reportedly arrested Hanning early this morning at his home in Nordwalde near Münster. A second former senior BND employee, identified as Manfred D. was also arrested in Bavaria. D. allegedly supplied Hanning with highly classified BND information for money until at least 2022.
Around 2,000 classified documents are reportedly believed to have been passed from D. to Hanning. Many were briefings prepared for the “ND Lage” at the Federal Chancellery, where the heads of Germany’s security agencies exchange intelligence. The documents reportedly included extremely sensitive assessments of Iran’s nuclear programme and Russia’s armed forces, as well as intelligence originating from foreign partner services.
Investigators reportedly suspect that Hanning used at least some of the information to prepare a security analysis for a foreign intelligence service. According to WDR, NDR and SZ, the service involved in that case was not Russia. In another case, Hanning is alleged to have used information from classified BND documents in communications with a foreign agent.
The case reportedly came to light after Hamburg investigators searched Hanning’s home and offices in September 2025 during a separate investigation connected to the Christina Block kidnapping case. They allegedly discovered an electronic storage device containing highly classified BND material that Hanning should not have possessed.
The documents reportedly included material dating as recently as June 2022, years after Hanning had left the BND. The Hamburg LKA subsequently handed the material over to federal authorities, and the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office opened a classified investigation in May 2026.
For Germany’s intelligence community, the allegations are extremely serious. The material allegedly included intelligence supplied by foreign partner services. Any unauthorized disclosure of such information could seriously damage trust between the BND and allied intelligence services.
The investigation remains ongoing, and the allegations against Hanning have not been proven in court.

INDIA VS IRAN DESERVES A BILATERAL SERIES. 🇮🇳🇮🇷
The India-Iran rivalry deserves regular bilateral series, just like cricket. Let the two Kabaddi giants face each other every year rather than waiting 4 years for the Asian Games and just one match between them. 😐
Playtomic app for Padel players isba great example of gamification and community with rating system to hook on people sourcing their natural desire to improve in a game. I see friends addicted to an expensive sports largely because of dynamics of the app

Disappointed with all Indian restaurants in Berling and then finding good Amritsari Kulcha on a stall run by a Punjabi family (I assume with their conversation) has brought me to look forward to one off food outing now
