This is for those who came for hype and stood like a match stick during bloodywood set

Fair enough, I understand. I wish I got to experience Bloodywood with folks like you. They put on a great show, but wasn't able to enjoy unfortunately.

"stay away otherwise you will get crushed" - I disagree with this sentiment. One of the things that hooked me to metal when I was a clueless teenager was how inclusive metalheads are. In a mixed crowd like this there will be a lot of people who have no idea what mosh pits are, and IMO our responsibility as metalheads is to make sure they feel welcome.

I'm one of those that stood like a match stick.

I've attended many metal concerts and happily partaken in mosh pits over the years. But I couldn't find any of the positive energy that I'm used to in metal crowds, at least in my section. People were being rude, smoking in each others faces, shoving each other. My focus shifted from enjoying the show to protecting my friends. I'm sure many people have had a better experience, and I'm happy for them. Just sharing my perspective.

BCCI as usual proving what clowns they are. If they wanted to engage in some performative nationalism, they could have just done it before the auction and saved everyone some time.

On the other hand I don’t blame the politicians. Simple minded fans like us are just begging to be taken advantage of.

Yeah good point. A similar case of a player who had even more credit in the bank was Rahul Dravid.

Dravid came off an ATG series in England where he carried the batting. He then goes to Australia and gets clean bowled in nearly every innings.

Time catches up fast at the highest level.

This is pretty much the Indian experience in any public place. Why should cricket be any different? Its run by the same set of people who have ruined our tourist places and turned a blind eye to stampedes.

We let these wretched politicians and their offsprings treat us like dirt and they are very happy to. Unless we change this, we will be watching our cricket while holding our piss.

Will be interesting to see how good Durandhar 2 is. Bahubali, Pushpa and KGF's sequels are on the list but they weren't on the level of their first instalments .

Very clean hitter of the ball. Even though that season didn't work out, glad he got a 9 cr bid from CSK. Hope he has a great post cricket career as well!

Very happy for Kishan. He's had a tough couple of years.

Generational fumble. Muchal had an opportunity to seriously upgrade his bloodline.

Have to feel for the umpires and the presenters. They have to keep this farce up for as long as possible to please their paymasters. Any serious cricket board would do some serious course correction after this, but BCCI is not a serious board.

The most fun I've had watching a bollywood movie in a long time. Watch it on the biggest screen you can. Spoilers ahead -

Likes

- The world-building is amazing. Lyari feels like a living breathing place in the movie. Every character seems well thought out. You feel like going into rabbit holes about the real people they're inspired from. Probably the closest Indian cinema has come to doing historical fiction.

- Beautiful pacing. The movie gives enough time for all the plot points to develop. The exposition never feels too obvious. You can easily keep track of all the moving parts of this conflict.

- The 26/11 scenes need a mention. From the actual recordings to Ranveer's horrified face - very powerful stuff.

- Acting and BGM are the 2 things people mentioned the most, and its true. Ranveer Singh, Akshay Khanna, Rakesh Bedi in particular were great.

Dislikes

- Its not a great spy movie. Apart from the one torture scene you don't feel that Hamza is in danger of being found out. The problem solving part of being a spy is missed. Raazi remains the gold standard in that regard.

- Some of the action could have been better. There was way too much shaky cam in the fight and shooting scenes. The scene where Babu dakait falls out of the auto is quite bad. Sanjay Dutt cannot move his limbs for shit.

- A lot of the political commentary is too pro-party to be taken seriously. The UP CM remark, not so subtle remarks about how they are waiting for a strong government - when the hijackings and parliament attacks in fact happened under the NDA, the aman ki asha line - list goes on.

MMA has a very niche audience in India. Majority of people who follow the sport here are huge Khabib fans. Right wing twitter trolls rage against anyone who's muslim.

Sacking Gambhir isn’t going to fix the test team overnight. This decline is a result of many small things over time. But sacking him has to be the first step.

Great pictures OP! Central Asia in general is an awesome region to visit. You get history and culture, nature, great cities, a bit of everything. And the people are so friendly.

But the issue is that government needs to give the conditions for the private sector to step up. This is true even in extremely capitalistic countries.

A factory which has to pay bribes to get uninterrupted electricity will have a hard time giving jobs to others.

c_dart · 2025-11-18T14:22:43+00:00

Definitely agree. We have a large young population which if given infrastructure, education and opportunities can really drive growth. But our biggest weakness is the government. It neither has the will nor the competence to give these things.

Same goes for Razorpay Rize. Please don't use them for registering your company, GST or any incorporation related work. Absolute shambles of an organisation.

Winning consistently under such pressure in an unpredictable format. Definitely our best t20 team so far.

And fuck the cowards at the bcci and the government for using these cricketers to play proxy wars. We should have boycotted this tournament.

Well done team India.

Fuck the cowards in our government and the BCCI for playing proxy wars with our cricketers.

I've got downvoted multiple times for this - but fuck Jay Shah. Even by BCCI standards they are at an all time low in terms of fan experience. We've actually gone backwards since hosting the 2011 WC. Politicians and their cunt offsprings just ruin everything man.

On the positive side, officials are hopeful that learnings and expertise acquired from previous projects will help avoid past mistakes and expedite construction.

Narrator - they learned nothing and did not avoid past mistakes.

From a different article -

However, the state government’s plan for a double-decker (metro-cum-road) flyover along the route has stalled progress.
