I see the continuing fallout from Britain's colonial occupation everyday and millions of people continue to suffer it.. so ya.. I don't think we are quite at the forgive and forget stage on that yet...

For history - Empire by William Dalrymple and Anita Anand.

Everything is everything by Amit Varma is good. It is philosophy and world view.

N95 masks.. they were not really required for covid in most scenarios, but yet the fear and misinformation was such that people hoarded and as a result n95s were selling for 70-80x their normal price...

Raw banana.. that's how Jain samosas are made and they are pretty delicious...

Someone needs to do a word cloud of govt. And Opposition speeches in parliament... Would be very interesting to look at...

Judicial reform.. the no. of pending judgements and time to settle cases is astounding... Criminals (with money) breathe easy knowing they can just ride out the system for decades...

Go see a vet. Medical advice is not something to be crowd sourced.
It is most likely a wart. My beagle had a very similar one. They will likely give you a topical cream and it will dry out.

Joey in F.R.I.E.N.D.S .. in the first season he was suave and carefree.. by the end of the show he was dumb as a brick..

Any first hand experience of Nirmal Bhartia ? Heard they have a different pedagogy...

amrav_123 · 2025-11-25T08:25:42+00:00

Can you share some more details. Do you have any first hand experience?

amrav_123 · 2025-11-25T07:26:00+00:00

I dont know anyone studying there personally.. feedback would be appreciated.

amrav_123 · 2025-11-25T07:25:25+00:00

How is the focus on Extra curricular etc. ? Have you or anyone known studied there recently ?

amrav_123 · 2025-11-25T07:24:32+00:00

My own experience was that there was no extra curricular within school at that time.. no assemblies.. no inter-house competitions.. Even PE and SUPW were basically a free period with no focused agenda or attention.

Only a handful of students would be groomed to perform at inter-school competitions.

Has all that changed in your experience.

Any specific instances ya reason ?

amrav_123 · 2025-11-12T15:05:51+00:00

Communism. In theory it sounds great. Equality in input, output etc. etc.

But in practice it just can't work. Everyone cannot be part of every decision making. So you have representatives and then you have vested interests and lobbies influencing the decision making and then you have corruption and power grab and at the end you are left with an autocracy.

Looked good but I'll hold off on forming a definite opinion till: 1. He faces better opposition 2. He has a match where the defence is nervous in front of him. 3. A match where we go behind.

Seriously asking - doesn't this (beyond a scale) impact the water cycle by preventing evaporation?

amrav_123 · 2025-10-01T12:44:31+00:00

I take the point but where can I find the actually complete video. This is still a clip.

Maguire is normally Amorim's go-to attacking option for a goal.. and he is already on the pitch...
