34,000₹ today equals to
> 1bhk rent in Pune / Bengaluru
> 1 bk rent in Mumbai
> 2 months of whey isolate supply
> 45 days of petrol
> A week trip in Goa
And that is the same amount was paid to tiger's shooters. Yes, just 34k those kids decided to almost delete someone from earth.
34,000₹ only. I am not sure about you but this is very scary and concerning.

never belittle someone for their running pace.
you have no idea what someone is fighting outside the track. i’ve known people battling suicidal thoughts, families going through divorce, and people dealing with health conditions where death is certain.
for some, running is the only thing keeping them mentally and physically alive through their battles.
i’ve spent good time with elite and pro runners, and i’ve rarely seen them belittle someone over pace. they never talk about pace. some of the best people i’ve met in running aren’t pros or obsessed with timings
we’re all just trying to show up and do our best with the life we’ve been given.
be kind. you never know what someone had to overcome just to show up and run

Cheteshwar Pujara’s wife had two choices.
Tell her husband that his father had suffered a serious heart episode…
Or let him keep batting for India without knowing.
She chose the latter.
During India’s 2018–19 Australia tour, Puja rushed her father-in-law to hospital and handled the emergency herself.
She deliberately kept Pujara in the dark because she didn’t want it affecting his focus during the Test series.
Thousands of kilometres away, Pujara kept fighting for India.
Unaware of the battle his wife was fighting back home.
Sometimes, the strongest support is the burden someone quietly carries for you. ❤️

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala once called Chandra a 'gift of God' to the Tatas. He is a rare Renaissance Man in Indian Business.
In his tenure, the net profits of listed Tata cos. compounded at ~20% - remarkable on its own. But his real achievement was proving that the Tata custodianship model works - the company's values are all that matter and the chairman is merely its custodian for a brief period, like a body to an eternal soul. He wasn't a Tata but lived Tata's values of conscious capitalism to the core.
I have a quick and dirty - perhaps unjust - test for judging character when I know little else: if a person is physically fit, and has been for years, I trust them more. Chandra was the Marathon Man not just for his long-horizon bets but because he ran actual marathons, even at 60 years of age. If a man can overcome his body's decaying entropy, he is likelier to overcome the world's.
I wish his tenure had lasted longer. It will be hard to find another Chandra, another 'gift of God'. But the Tatas have near-infinite karmic runway so one never knows.
#BREAKING | Statement from #TataSons Chairman, N Chandra:
🔴Communicated To Tata Sons Bd, Have Decided Not To Offer Myself For Reappointment When The Term Ends On Feb 20
🔴I Have Asked The Board To Decide On The Succession Soon To Ensure A Proper Transition
🔴It Has Been 6 Months Since Feb 24 Board Meet, & No Resolution Has Been Reached Till Date
🔴Re-appointment Proposal Was Not Carried Through Because One Of The Board Members Did Not Support It, And In The Absence Of Unanimous Support, I Chose To Defer The Decision

This 5 minutes video will change your life, the way you think, your perspective towards Young India ,
"When I woke up in my hut this morning and checked my phone, it felt as though this govt had resorted to complete authoritarianism." as he spoke Honesty n Sincerity reflected on his face."
"In a democratic System, Not Arrogance but Dialogue must be the way, whose doors open on both the Sides, like UPA did with Anna, Indira ji did with Sonam's Father & Britishers did with Mahatma."
"There is a word in the Constitutional Oath "Garima (Self-respect), One's Dignity, Dignity, A person's dignity should not be compromised Sir." he was filled with Anguish.
"What were they asking for, 200 yards of flat in Lutyens Delhi ? An MP seat or a Ministry in Modi's Cabinet..? They're just asking for accountability, asking to Fix the crumbling education system, with responsibility." his voice trembles as he spoke.
-----------------------------------
I was completely shattered while writing this, listening to him tears flow from my eyes as I write this with a heavy heart.

"In a democracy, holding a dissenting view is not a crime; it is a fundamental right granted to us by the Indian Constitution."
स्वप्न झरे फूल-से,
मीत चुभे शूल-से,
लुट गये सिंगार सभी बाग़ के बबूल से,
और हम खड़े-खड़े बहार देखते रहे।
कारवाँ गुज़र गया, गुबार देखते रहे!
नींद भी खुली न थी कि हाय धूप ढल गई,
पाँव जब तलक उठे कि ज़िन्दगी फिसल गई,
पात-पात झर गये कि शाख़-शाख़ जल गई,
चाह तो निकल सकी न, पर उमर निकल गई,
— नीरज

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

The movie "Anand" hurts differently once you grow older.
As children, you notice Rajesh Khanna’s charm.
That smile. That warmth. That impossible ability to make even illness look full of life.
Then adulthood arrives and suddenly Babu Moshai starts making sense too.
Amitabh Bachchan’s silence in that film is extraordinary. He spends half the movie watching Anand live loudly while quietly preparing himself for loss. And somewhere between them, Hrishikesh Mukherjee creates one of Hindi cinema’s gentlest heartbreaks.
“Babumoshai… zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahin.”
That dialogue survived generations for a reason.
Notice how simple the film looks today.
No manipulative background score screaming for tears. No dramatic hospital glamour. Just conversations, humanity and the unbearable knowledge that some people enter life briefly only to leave permanent emotional damage behind.
Even the ending feels strangely quiet.
Like somebody important just left the room… but their voice is still floating around somewhere.

Just a small anecdote of Sachin Tendulkar’s Irani Trophy debut on his birthday:
November 1989, Wankhede Stadium.
5 selectors sat in the stands with notebooks & doubts, watching a 16 year old boy try to force his way onto a plane to Pakistan. Sachin Tendulkar had already shone through the Ranji season, 583 runs showing he was ready. But the men in charge preferred patience. They wanted one more look.
Irani Trophy gave it to them. Rest of India against Delhi. Tendulkar made 39 in first innings. Promising, but not the hundred that would have made selection automatic. So the 2nd innings became an audition he could not afford to fail.
What happened next was less a cricket match & more a rescue mission. Tendulkar walked in at number 4. Scorecard around him read like a horror story. Not a single teammate managed to reach double figures after he arrived (in fact, no one crossed 6 runs). Wickets fell like dominoes. By the time 9th wicket went down, he was stranded in the 80s, the hundred slipping away with every departing batter.
Enter Gursharan Singh. Rest of India vice captain had fractured his finger in first innings, his right hand wrapped in plaster, his match effectively over. Then Raj Singh Dungarpur walked over & told him to pad up. Not to save the game, but to save the boy’s hundred.
Gursharan walked out one handed. Tendulkar, already heading back to the pavilion assuming the injured man would not bat, stopped in his tracks. Gursharan looked at him & said, “Tera hundred kar ke jayenge.”
Tendulkar smiled, took strike & told Gursharan he would handle Maninder Singh himself. They added 36 runs for last wicket & Sachin scored 103*.
A week later, he was on a flight to Karachi. Selectors had seen enough. Sometimes greatness needs a century. Sometimes it needs a teammate with a broken finger willing to stand in the firing line so the story can continue.
A short thread on Sachin Tendulkar, The Master Blaster, on the occasion of his 53rd birthday, consisting some of his accolades and records.
Sachin Tendulkar till date is the youngest test centurion in South Africa, Australia, England. He is also the youngest player to score a test 50 in New Zealand.

True Story from Deoghar, Jharkhand (Mahashivratri, 2003 – IND vs PAK)
In 2003, during the iconic India vs Pakistan match on Mahashivratri, I was at the Deoghar Shiva Temple in Jharkhand one of the most revered Hindu pilgrimage sites. Lakhs of devotees had traveled miles and were standing in long queues, waiting patiently for their turn to worship Lord Shiva. Managing the crowd was a massive challenge for the police.
Pakistan had already posted 273 runs.
As India came out to bat, a big screen on the side which had been playing devotional songs suddenly switched to the live match.
Something incredible happened.
The pandas (priests), who usually lead the worship rituals, rushed towards the screen and announced that the पूजा would begin only after watching Sachin Tendulkar bat.
The entire crowd erupted in joy. Thousands of people gathered around a single screen.
Moments ago, chants of “Har Har Mahadev” filled the air now, every cheer echoed for Sachin. With every shot he played, the noise grew louder, the energy more electric.
It felt surreal… almost as if even God was watching, smiling and perhaps that divine energy helped Sachin deliver one of his most memorable knocks.
India won the match on MahaShivratri
And only then did the worship begin.
It was a surreal moment lakhs of people smiling, laughing, celebrating together for the same reason, for the same man. It felt as if everyone’s prayers had already been answered.
Aura. Euphoria. Magnanimity. Madness.
All for one man.

Sachin Tendulkar's first cricket bat was a Kashmir willow gifted to him by sister Savita, who got it when she went on a holiday to Kashmir.
Savita ma’am had no idea she had unleashed a beast!
Thank you, Savita ma’am! And Happy Birthday to the GOD of cricket! @sachin_rt

Bhimrao Ambedkar sat on a gunny sack at school & had to wait for the peon to give him water as being an untouchable he could not touch the tap or surai.
When he passed the 4th standard in school his Mahar community wanted to organize a feast as no one had studied that far.
He was the first Indian to obtain a Doctorate in Economics from abroad. His work ' Waiting for a Visa' was a textbook in his alma mater, Columbia University. He was a prolific reader, with a personal library of over 50,000 books even though he lost a whole lot when the ship bringing his books from his Columbia days was torpedoed.
His work, 'The Problem Of The Rupee : Its Origin And Its Solution' and his presentation to the Hilton Young Commission is regarded as one of the primary inspirations behind the creation of the RBI
He led the team that drafted our constitution. He opposed Article 370, wanted a uniform civil code & resigned when his Hindu Code bill demanding equal share for women in inheritance & equal status in marriage was stalled in parliament.
On B R Ambedkar's birth anniversary, remembering a giant.
