That massive Dhoni six may have ironically cost CSK the match, because the ball had to be replaced, and Yash Dayal could bowl his back of the hand balls much better with the drier replacement ball than he could have if the ball was wet.

Can't believe so many old-time Bangaloreans are taking a "blame the migrant" approach to all the unfortunate waterlogging. If anyone's to blame, it's the greedy land sharks and the corrupt local bureaucracy they managed to bribe for their benefit.

Just got the news that Mr. Shanbagh, the genial owner of Premier Book Store passed away. COVID.
He knew where every book was in his teetering floor to roof book towers; he would give you massive discounts unasked for because he thinks you'll like the book.

A lot of Indians of my generation had their first exposure to fancy English words thanks to the Word Power column in Reader's Digest.
Now here's the interesting thing. Reader's Digest came to India in the mid-50s, and the man helming it was a Parameswaran T.

Everyone's sharing their supposedly "low" 12th marks on Twitter last 24h to proclaim how marks don't matter. Most of it is actually flexing about their perfectly high scores
My view on this can be summed up thus

Lo idiot namesake of mine, I hope your boner dies when you find out that Shivaji and his successors killed far more Hindus.
Rulers then cared about power, much like rulers today.
Tippu Sultan was a tyrant who massacred thousands of Hindus and it was shameful the previous Govts felt it was their duty to honour him with a Jayanti.

Telugu is probably the most Sanskritised of all Dravidian languages already. For some reason, they want to further assimilate. Telugu Akademi being renamed Telugu and Sanskrit Akademi strikes me as one of the most stupid decisions taken by a body supposed to protect a language.

A great secret of the world is that most educated people can't read well. They absorb knowledge in other forms, which are considered inferior to reading. But the fact is most books are dim, dull. Not only are books overrated; reading itself is.
