Things people learn too late: 1. Everything is temporary 2. Life isn't fair 3. A lifetime isn't forever 4. Fear is masked by anger 5. The biggest risk is "no risk" 6. Things aren't that important 7. Happiness is a choice 8. You played it too safe 9. Family is BAE #Lifelessons

Indians have a strange understanding of nationalism. They seem more concerned about protecting Adani’s rights than protecting their own economic future. When did defending a billionaire become more patriotic than defending the interests of 1.4 billion Indians? That’s not nationalism. That’s misplaced loyalty.

Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better. Thank you 🙏

Interesting timing or just coincidence? Government messaging recently has been: • Buy less gold • Reduce unnecessary foreign travel • Protect forex reserves And then all this starts happening... #RajeshExports #Sebi

Then suddenly: • RBI gold reserve questions emerge. RBI denies selling physical gold. • SEBI hits Rajesh Exports with a massive order. • Stock crashes into lower circuits. • LIC, a major shareholder, gets hit too.

I'm not saying Rajesh Exports is innocent or guilty. I'm asking: Is this just one company imploding? Or are we seeing tighter scrutiny around India's gold ecosystem as macro pressure rises? Markets move on facts. They also move on signals. What am I missing?

You’ll see random pictures of Arshavin supporting Arsenal every year since he left. Dude never gave any interviews, just kept supporting the club like a proper fan. Top guy.

The hate yesterday was loud. Good. We were built in heartbreak. Hate just makes us stronger. #COYG

Gutted. Proud. Empty. All at once. Can’t help thinking back to the Wenger days when even our full backs stepped up in shootouts like it was routine. Cole. Lauren. Ice cold. That clinical edge won moments. David Raya deserved a medal yesterday. We go again. #COYG ❤️

Attention all premier league clubs. Please send Arne Slot your starting XI’s 48 hours in advance so he can plan how to play against you. It was totally unfair that we didn’t start Sesko when he expected him to play.

Watching Dexter: Resurrection and it’s honestly brilliant. But seeing Harrison being shaped to carry the legacy has me uneasy— Is this how the end begins for Dexter himself? Feels like a passing of the knife. #DexterResurrection #TVThoughts

Pilot 1: Why did you cutoff? Pilot 2: I didn't. This is the control which the pilots have, it has to be pulled with effort to cut off the supply, When Pilot 1 asks why did he cutoff fuel supply. And the other answers he didn't, then clearly there wasn't a visible proof of the switches being manually activated. Coz there are just two people. Air crashes are unique. It's a dead pilot who cant defend himself vs a billion dollar Global entity with all the PR power.

🚨DID YOU KNOW? Viktor Gyokeres' iconic mask celebration is inspired by Bane's quote "Nobody cared until I put on the mask" from The Dark Knight Rises. It symbolizes his rise from Coventry City to Europe's elite.
