This whole idea of “one or two generations must keep sacrificing for India” is neither noble nor progress — it’s exactly what keeps us stuck in mediocrity.
Ayn Rand was right when she said: “Altruism holds that man has no right to exist for his own sake — that his only moral purpose is to serve others, and self-sacrifice is his highest duty.”
When we tell our brightest and hardest-working Indians they’re basically sacrificial animals for “better future,” we stop building a great nation. We just create resentment, loopholes, and long-term stagnation.
Real progress needs smart systems that rewards work/progress.
Now you may not agree but there are clear historical examples. Many would even say that the same doesn’t apply to us but we can learn from them right?
Look at Dubai - they turned a desert into a global hub in one generation — not through sacrifice, but low taxes, business-friendly rules, and openness to the world.
Singapore did the same: from a backwater to a rich island in a single generation through education and pro-growth policies.
South Korea - war ruin to tech powerhouse in one generation by focusing on exports, education, and execution — not by guilt-tripping citizens.
Bhai i agree you will say ki these examples don’t apply to India but we have to understand ki accepting sacrifice only prolongs our misery.
Nagrik ka kaam nahi hai sacrifice krna uske liye woh sarkar ko elect krta.
Please 🙏🏽 don’t romanticise pain!
It belittles the poor hard working people ki suffering and kills ambition in general.
Tyre leak logged on my XEV 9S job card on 11 Jun (RO27A005425). Dealership ignored it and service head forced me to an outside ‘official’ partner, and they drove screw plugs into both rear EV tyres. Independent testing said the tyres are damaged by the faulty repair.
Multiple emails - multiple complaints
Months later: no replacement, no ownership, no reply.

When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me ― it still sometimes happens ― and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife.
They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with unflagging courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don't ever expect to be reunited with Carl.
But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief and precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting.
Every single moment that we were alive and we were together was miraculous-not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance.
That pure chance could be so generous and so kind. That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time. That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me and it’s much more meaningful.
The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don't think I'll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.

I’m sorry but this is the exact mindset that keeps us back!
You can pull a hundred levers in the dark, but the machine only pays out when you accidentally lean on it.
For people with arthritis especially knee - wear of cartilage doesn’t necessarily mean surgery.
You do not need rest!
Movement is medicine!
Clinical myth: 'Stop exercising, your knees are bone-on-bone.' Real science: Controlled mechanical loading down-regulates joint inflammation and stimulates cartilage health. Stop resting, start loading
A very apt explanation backed by real evidence. Must read. Must follow
Rest doesn't protect the arthritic knee... activity nourishes it and has been proven to result in significant pain relief. And... high-intensity running shows the greatest pain relief. Not intuitive at all...
Don't rest your arthritic knee; you're not protecting anything, and you're throwing your general health under the bus.
If you don't tolerate any load... well-- then it might be time to talk to your surgeon.

Shooting at malls. Shooting at bars. Shooting at schools. Shooting at rallies. Shooting on tourists. Shooting on diners. Shooting on babies. Shooting even at the President despite all the security. Drugs, Guns, and Crimes everywhere.
And other countries are "Hellhole?" Right.
Carbs - highest insulin response per kcal due to rapid blood glucose rise. Protein induces moderate secretion via amino acids like leucine, but ~1/3 to 1/2 the potency of carbs isocalorically. Fat barely stimulates insulin directly, mainly delaying carb absorption when mixed
Protein triggers less insulin than carbs mainly because glucose directly closes beta-cell KATP channels via rapid ATP rise, while amino acids rely on slower, less potent pathways
Fiber helps—but more isn’t always better. ( U shared curve )
Aim ~14 g/1,000 kcal, mainly from whole foods.
Higher than normal intake or rapid increases can cause bloating, gas, or stool issues.
Supplements help bowel habits, but don’t replace whole-food benefits.
Why herd immunity for rabies isn’t there yet (for India) ?
Rabies has a low R0 (1-2), so critical coverage is 20-45% to block transmission.
Annual campaigns must target 70% or higher to counter high rates of stray dog turnover.
Below this, outbreaks persist
(per NAPRE )
💯
Even if correlation were causation (it isn’t), human flaws don’t void institutional duty—because systems exist to outgrow our weaknesses, not to hide behind them.
I speak against alcohol a lot. I am a former drunkard and I totally understand how alcohol ruins your life and risk your life.
But, even if the Noida accident victim was drunk. It makes zero sense to blame things on his alcoholism for what delays happened from the authority's end.
It is also known as Red Herring fallacy. Imagine you get admitted to the hospital and the hospital delays the treatment. And one of your friend who got paid by the hospital says you - bhai tu health kya dhyan kyu nahi rakha isme hospital ki kya galti. Or imagine I ask someone to eat good protien and he says I eat ghar ka clean food daily. Clean food se protien ka kya lena dena bhai.
Don't let people commit these logical fallacies especially when it comes to infrastructure improvements.
Protein can spike insulin after meals, but that≠chronic hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance.
When protein replaces refined carbs without overeating, insulin sensitivity improves.
But very high, chronic animal/BCAA-heavy protein + excess calories can worsen insulin resistance
Protein can also worsen insulin resistance: long-term + very high animal protein/BCAA patterns+overfeeding.
Data links animal protein to higher T2D risk; mechanisms include chronic amino acids → mTOR/S6K1 → impaired insulin signaling.
Context matters.

So sorry, there’s some issue with the linked articles.
So posting both of these again here
