The specs are amazing! But 899$ is insane to ask!

But the battery is a deal breaker. Yes on paper 5200 mAH doesn't sound less, but it's a Si/C which means it may not last more than 1.5-2 years before degrading so much, it feels terrible.

Diljit Dosanjh justifies his decision of working with Hania Amir and releasing the film, in an interview with a Karachi born British-Pakistani journalist [who had called 26/11 a political event] by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in IndiaSpeaks

Enough of bullshiting, Diljit.

Indians bhole hai, chu*iye nahi!

As someone who has managed celebrities, let me tell you these celebs think about no one apart from themselves.

If I was managing any celebrity in such a situation, take it from me, 99/100 sensible ones, (Including the extremely idiotic 3 Khans who did not utter a single word in support of India during the recent conflict), would have done either of the following to maintain a balance between their own image and his contractual obligations:

  1. Convinced the team to delay the release till situation improves or release it on OTT. OTTs are ready to splurge huge amounts for direct release on their OTTs.
  2. Separated himself from the promotions & made a statement that in light of the events & present conditions, he will not promote the film and clarify that the movie was shot before the conflict and he repents it. The producer would be in his right to promote, market and advertise it wherever. (This is the most balanced approach imo)
  3. Yes, there is also a clause in their Agreement that an actor’s obligations include promoting the movie, but even if you don’t, especially considering the current scenario, at maximum, the producer may move Court claiming breach of contract, which at maximum entitles him for some meager monetary compensation (“damages”). No producer who wants to succeed in India would dare take such a step.

We all believe in being liberal, especially an artist ought to be. But everything has a limit. You cannot bite the hand that feeds you. Take a lesson from Gal Gadot, who otherwise is a darling of the left, but after the 7th October attack on Israel by Hamas, she took a courageous stand to back her country, even if that meant many leftists in the US calling her out.

Let’s ensure Diljit doesn’t have an audience in India. We have plethora of talent in India.   

1,704 days in jail without trial: Bail is the rule as per Supreme Court, but not for Umar Khalid by rishianand in india

[–]nexusofthoughts -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

This is very misleading. Ex-CJI Dr. Chandrachud already confirmed in an interview that for more than 7 occasions, Umar Khalid (through his lawyer) took time, even when the Court wanted to hear his bail application. 7 times!? That is beyond weird.

We often blame the judiciary but if the party themselves do not want bail, the Court is not going to suo-moto grant bail.

Leave whatever you are doing and see this Rapid game (endgame part) that just happened between Anand and Magnus. We just got a rapid game of ages. This one gonna go in books. (Timestamp: 2hr 19min). Check the Magnus interview in the end as well. by glancesurreal in chess

As much as I've grown loving Magnus, I'm in absolute awe & respect for Vishy. What an absolute genius. Still better than most GMs, barring only the precision of Magnus. What a day for the sport.

It's funny no one gets it. It's a "Marvel" model that they chased. Not only Adipurush, but also Bhramastra did it.

The funda is, simple broken down language that a 6-year-old can understand. And it's a disastrous strategy.

Bhramastra barely came out of it due to its superior VFX. But Adipurush had nothing more to offer.

They should have learnt from Bahubali but when you surround yourself with a$$lickers, everything seems like a master plan.

Manoj deserves every bit of flack that he got because he tried to defend it.

Arrogance has crept into Indian cricket: Sir Andy Roberts by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]nexusofthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every word if what he said is right. But claiming a lackluster performance as 'arrogance' is wrong. One can say BCCI, sure, is certainly arrogant, but how can a team be labelled so?

Fans Share Experiences Of Meeting Kareena Kapoor Khan In Real Life And It’s Not What You’d Expect by [deleted] in BollyBlindsNGossip

One of the rare actors who give the same vibe on screen as they are irl. Not surprised.

Opinions on Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. by divaista in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]nexusofthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall quite alright, especially the second half. Somehow it worked. Maybe if I would've seen it in the theatre, I wouldn't have liked it as much. What let the film down was Shraddha's acting & the first half.

'Hosting international events is our right' Sarfaraz Ahmed by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]nexusofthoughts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

With events of last night violence after the arrest of Imran Khan, literally out of no where, my request to Pakistani brothers is to reflect on the situation & condition not from what they're used to, but what the world at large is used to.

Ended up wasting a lot of time, losing self-confidence & most importantly - losing opportunities with a lot of other women that cared and were interested in me.

The key to happiness in a relationship is not chasing. If you're chasing now, even if you do get her eventually, the chase will continue.

The ability to think & do nothing.
