To all parents: If your kid gets even a minute scratch from a dog, cat or monkey, and even if it is not bleeding, still immediately get the first dose of Rabies vaccine done within 24 hrs. Rabies vaccine has a 100% efficacy rate but rabies disease has a 100% fatality rate. Also ask your kids to always inform you if anything like this ever happens. I so wish this kid would have informed his parents about the incident. PS: A dad whose 2 year old got scratched by a neighbour's pet husky and had to go through a course of 3 rabies vaccines last year.

During college, we used to play counter-strike on weekend evenings, and our gaming session alerts went out over google chat. One weekend, I was setting up the session and pinged all the usual players except one friend who had just lost his father three days earlier. As we were about to start, I got a message from him asking "If you guys are playing today, let me know, I will join in.” We played for an hour or two. Afterwards, I messaged him saying I hadn’t expected him to join, and that it would’ve felt insensitive to even ask. He replied that this last one hour was the only time he felt like he wasn’t losing his mind in the past three days and he needed this. Grief is personal. And everyone finds their own way to survive it.

No group of people has climbed the ladders of social mobility in this country quite like those who joined the IT industry in the ’90s and early 2000s. Most came from modest, middle-class backgrounds. All it took was decent English-speaking skills and a bit of computer education. You didn’t even have to be a BTech, many saw the opportunity early and enrolled in courses at NIIT or Aptech alongside BSc/BCom. (Remember those NIIT ads with Viswanathan Anand - the poster boy of the educated, middle-class “good guy”?) H-1B visas were easy to get, opportunities were abundant. Most moved to the U.S. within a year or two of joining and either stayed long enough to build generational wealth or never came back for good. Many invested heavily in real estate in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune, often owning five or more flats - enough to secure generations through passive rental income. They were the ones who powered India’s consumption boom and the glossy GDP growth story. But they also, in a way, priced the next generation out of affordable housing. The torchbearers of "being at the right place, at the right time, with right skills".

I will leave it at this - 'Till 1993 BCCI had to pay Doordarshan 5 Lakh Rs per match to ensure that they broadcast the match. Then one guy turned 20"

Korean Archery team selection is so ruthless that they didn't even send An San, Tokyo Olympic's gold medalist in all 3 events, for Paris Olympics after she did poor in a domestic competition. And it is not like An San is too old now. She is just 23. She even won 1 Gold and 1 Silver in Asian Games last year. Imagine a selection process where a reigning 3 times Olympic Champion is told that she is not good enough at the age of 23. Making into their Olympic Archery squad itself is so tough that by the time they reach the actual event, they have already gone through trial by fire and mentally toughened enough to take on anyone.

Dear Afghan team

LOL Australia doesn't even know that you have to drop your main spinner when playing in England. They will never win WTC with this attitude.

It has been a long day at work and I have not been able to check Twitter for the whole day. However, before I log off for the day I would like to methodically approach this on the basis of elimination technique and help the girl with the decision on whose life she should destroy.....err I mean whom should she marry. So let's begin. First of all let's eliminate the doctor from Delhi. Being a doctor is a high responsibility job and one that needs an understanding partner to support through the regular odd timings and emergencies and burnouts. A self-centered idiot is not suitable for this role. Thus guy 10 is eliminated. Next, since she seems shallow enough to go by the looks, so let's eliminate Guy 9 and Guy 13. Due to people like her in our society these guys might already be feeling bad about themselves. It would be unfair to make it even worse by having a partner who will bring up their physical attributes in every conversation to boost her own ego of being a trophy wife. Next comes the job security. In the current global economy it would be best to avoid folks from start-up firms. Managing expenses becomes tough if one loses his/her job, maintaining a leech would be even tougher during such times. So that eliminates Guy 1, 3, 7, 11 and 14 working at Byjus, Aceturtle, Unacademy and IPAC. So we are already down to just 6 guys. Now let's come to the most important criteria - salary. Let's be honest here, she would have already eliminated Guy 4 and Guy 8, i.e those below 15 LPA but included them in her list only to show the number of suitors she has. So we are down to 4 guys - Guy 2, 5, 6 and 12. But Guy 2 is an easy elimination here since he reached 25 lakhs at the age of 35, and taking 10% YoY appraisal as an assumption Guys 5, 6 and 12 would be way past that figure at 35, while having additional years to spend money on her. Now the decision between 5, 6 and 12 can be taken based upon any one of the following: 1. Which city she prefers to live between Kolkata, Pune and Hyderabad 2. A three way cage fight between them 3. Who posts more on Instagram Hope this helps the lady. Btw it's Miebach and not Mieback. P.S.: Assuming that she arrived at this list after already applying usual filters of religion, caste, gotra, manglik etc. Hence haven't taken them into the account.

Jadeja has played 22 matches across 5 T20 World Cups. In those 22 matches he has scored a total of 95 runs at strike rate of 97 & avg of 16. He has taken 21 wickets. 6 of them came in the last 2 matches against Namibia & Scotland. 0 impact across 14 years so far in T20 WCs.

They have 1300+ test wickets between them but neither Anderson nor Broad ever had a fearsome aura like Steyn or McGrath.

DO NOT DO THIS MISTAKE if you don't want to be a financial burden post your life. -Oppenheimer+ Barbie tickets for you and your girlfriend/boyfriend= 700* 4 = Rs 2800 - Refreshments= 400*4 = Rs 1600 - Conveyance Charge = Rs 600 Total = Rs 5000 Don't spend on these frivolous stuff. Rather put that 5000 in an Index Fund, keep it till the age of 70. In 45 years at 15% XIRR you get Rs 27 lakhs. Your gf/bf, who would be your partner by then, can then withdraw it and use it to fund your shraddh after you pass away.

Let's break it down. India won 28 gold medals in Asian Games. Where these medals came from: 11 of them came from sports which were not even in Paris Olympics including: - 5 from Compound Archery - 2 from Squash - 2 from Cricket - 2 Kabaddi Among other 17 gold medals: - 6 came from Athletics: Asia as a whole is poor in Athletics compared to other continents. For context, China won 19 gold medals in Athletics at 2022 Asian Games, but they won just 1 gold at the Paris Olympics. (Commonwealth Games is a much competitive event and better benchmark for Athletics due to presence of England, Australia, Jamaica, Kenya etc.) - 7 came from Shooting. Now this is where it gets ironical. Shooting is very strong in Asia, and Indian contingent should win more at the Olympics in shooting. At the same time, 3 of our medals came from shooting, which feels like an achievement. We did decent, but we should be doing even better at the Olympics in shooting at least. - Rest 4 gold medals came from Badminton, Tennis, Hockey and Equestrian. Men's Hockey team did well to win Bronze in Paris and only 2 European teams finish above them. We underperformed in Badminton, Satwik-Chirag (gold medal at Asian Games) should have done better. In other two events, it was again a mismatch in Asian Games level and the Olympics level. Now, let's do analysis on Uzbekistan. This time let's go in reverse, let's see from where did they got their 8 golds at Paris Olympics: Uzbekistan, formerly a part of USSR, traditionally focuses on 5 sports for the Olympics (Boxing, Wrestling Judo, Taekwondo and Weightlifting). The level of all these 5 sports at the Asian Games is very high (due to presence of China in Weightlifting and Women's Boxing, Japan in Judo, South Korea in Taekwondo, Japan, Iran and Kazakhstan in Wrestling and Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in Men's Boxing) and if you win a gold there, then you have a good shot at a medal at the Olympics too. - 5 came from Men's Boxing. Uzbekistan won 3 gold medals in men's boxing at Asian Games, and each of those 3 also won gold at the Olympics too. (This is what we expected likes of Sift Kaur and Satwik-Chirag to do, but didn't happen). This is as optimum as it can get. Basically everyone who was best at Asian level, are also best in that sport in the World too. - 1 came from Wrestling, which is very controversial. Since Russia got banned from the Paris Olympics, most Russian wrestlers switched to ex USSR nations just before the Olympics so that they can participate. The gold medal was actually won by a Russian. (Olympics committee would mostly come with some kind of rule to stop such events in the future) - 1 came from Taekwondo. Again, Uzbekistan won just 1 gold at the Asian Games in Taekwondo, and the same person won gold at the Olympics too. 100% conversion rate of success. -1 came from Judo. Uzbekistan won 3 golds in Judo at the Asian games - 1 went on to win gold at the Olympics, 1 won Bronze and 1 other missed a medal. In conclusion: - The games we are better in, we are only better at the Asian level, not at the Olympics level. While the games Uzbekistan is better at Asian level, they are also among the best at the Olympics level - Our Shooting and Badminton contingent could have done better at Paris, while we have talent here, we often falter mentally - Uzbekistan performed at the most optimum possible level at Paris, that is commendable but mostly not repeatable every single time and was an one-off feat. Kudos to them.

Last year when I joined my current firm, the onboarding team asked everyone who had joined over the last few months to fill in an informal introduction template. It had a section called 'A quote you live by'. While almost everyone wrote an inspirational line, I filled "I'm not great at advice. But can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?" - a famous punchline by Chandler Bing from the series F.R.I.E.N.D.S. During the run of the series Chandler also gave us a line which many of us awkward folks like to throw in whenever we are appreciated for our sense of humour - "I use humour as a defence mechanism". I love Chandler. He is my favorite comic character written for a television series. He was the soul of the most popular sitcom among millennials - the first famous line of the series ('And I just want a million dollars') to the last punchline of the series ('Sure. Where?') were all given to his character by the writers. Chandler Bing was the face of sarcasm. There was a time in the late 2010s when half of the meme pages had the word 'Sarcasm' in their name and a DP of Chandler Bing. While much credit grows to the writers and showrunners, Matthew Perry had no less of a contribution in building that reputation. He was the only actor in the series who also used to be involved with writer's room due to his natural comic talent. He used to help with the punchlines. And during the show's run he started feeling the pressure of being funny all the time which led him to mental health issues - he lost and gained weight a lot between seasons and never returned to full health. We got to hear about the health issues from Matthew himself during the F.R.I.E.N.D.S reunion. And I am so glad that the reunion finally happened in 2021 after so many cancellations and postponements - otherwise it would have been too late for it. James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther, passed away soon after the reunion. And today we lost Chandler. I remember it happened during the peak pandemic wave 2 and the episode was a welcome break from all the bad stuff happening around us - just like how the show has been for many and helped them through a dark phase of life. I understand that Matthew and his family wouldn't ever know about my existence but few celebrity deaths feel personal for the fans. Last time I felt so bad about an actor's death when Irrfan Khan passed away. RIP Matthew. I have been a fan since the S1E7 when you replied "Yeah, about 300 guys I went to highschool with" when Jill Goodacre asked you "Would you like to call somebody" while you two were stuck in an ATM vestibule during a blackout in New York. I hope you are in a better place now. And yes 'Gum would have been perfection'.
