Exceptional writing in this ad for Forest Essentials, by the agency Talented! Before I even get to the crux, I couldn't help marvel at the minor nuance thrown in - the daughter-in-law (Arjun's wife; we don't hear her name, but she is addressed with a lot of love as 'beta' and 'bachche'/'child') first calls her 'Aunty' and then 'Sorry... mummy', signifying that she's newly married and is still adjusting to the new home's rhythm. It's a small, almost fleeting detail, but it is lived-in details like this that add a rich texture to any writing. And then the crux: "Is it efficient to keep yourself on hold?" lands so beautifully - not as a talk-down from the mother-in-law, but as a genuine question worth asking. And it seems to come from—again, 'lived-in'—experience! The context the mother-in-law gives from her own life is not some high-funda logic. It is a remarkably simple and relatable anecdote. The closure is pure gold: 'Kabhi kabhi, hum kyun bhool jaate hain ki hum par hamaari khud ki bhi toh zimmedaari hai?' (Why do we often forget that we have a responsibility towards our own selves?). The only minor quibble that sprang up spontaneously while I watched the ad for the first time was that the tea-related anecdote makes the ad look like a tea brand's ad! The anecdote, combined with the last shot where they are both seen enjoying their cup of hot tea, that is! And guess what? Taj Mahal tea did precisely that - "Din ke ek cup chai, khud ke saath ho jaaye" (Come meet yourself, over a cup of tea)! See: #advertising #marketing #creativity

On 19th November 2025, Sringeri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji graced the Vidyaranya Institute of Knowledge and Advanced Studies (VIKAS), formerly the JNU Institute of Advanced Studies, located on the JNU campus in New Delhi. The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, along with the management, faculty, and students, offered a reverential welcome to Sringeri Jagadguru Shankaracharya. In February 2024, at the request of JNU, the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri, graciously provided and installed a beautiful murti of Sri Vidyaranya Mahaswamiji, the 12th Jagadguru of Sringeri - a towering statesman-sage, a tapasvi of the highest order, an unparalleled scholar, and the illustrious Raja Guru whose wisdom and strategic brilliance were instrumental in the founding of the Vijayanagara Empire on the campus. The Mahaswamiji's role in shaping the political, cultural, and spiritual renaissance of that era places him among the greatest figures in Indian history. Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam spoke about Advaita in relatable terms, explaining how our experience of duality persists only as long as we remain unaware of the Truth. “A dream feels real only as long as we remain in the state of dreaming. The moment we wake up, we instantly recognise that it was never real.” In the same way, duality appears real only until we awaken to the knowledge of the Self. When true understanding dawns, the illusion of separateness dissolves - just as the dream dissolves upon waking. Jagadguru further stressed that knowledge alone is not enough; it must be supported by samskara - right conduct, right values, and a life lived in alignment with Dharma. The special Vajrotsava Bharati Edition of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya’s Brahma Sutra Bhashya and Srimad Bhagavad Gita Bhashya was blessed by Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam for inclusion in the University’s library. *-*-* Join our Official WhatsApp Channel: #JNU #Vidyaranya #Mahaswamiji #VIKAS #SanatanaDharma #Shankaracharya #Sringeri #Yatra #VijayaYatra #SriSannidhanam #Peetham #Jagadguru #Mahaswamiji #Karnataka #Newdelhi #gurugram #Gurgaon #shankaravidyakendra #svkdelhi #vasantvihar

Nobara is the protagonist of her own story. That single line embodies why I liked her so much & why I enjoyed all of her character. The way she always emoted, acted & reacted in accordance with that. This is something simple, that should apply to all characters to some extent but has often been missing or diminished in other side/female characters of shonen that I've read.. Nobara was/did whatever she wanted unapologetically. Without giving into established or societal pressures. She felt like a real & relatable person. Not just someone secondary & intended to prop up the MC or serve a specific plot point. This is partly due to Gege consciously writing all Jujutsu Sorcerers with the 'growth in individuality' aspect in mind and partly due to how Gege kept her outbursts/frustrations within reason. They never crossed the line into feeling onenote, tropy or unnatural for a person with her age, upbringing, etc. She made mistakes, conceded them, accepted help, thanked her helpers, took advice, took direction, wore her emotions openly, cried, leaned on others, etc. Things that are perfectly natural & endearing when done right, but for some reason are often linked to weakness these days. This kind of full depiction made me more fond of her. Nobara was also a REAL Jujutsu Sorcerer in the making, who was unfortunately thrown into situation after situation beyond her pay grade without much plot armor & the odds eventually caught up to her.. She had the mentality, drive & resilience down. Only lacking in experience & the maturity/self-awareness that comes with it. Despite that Gege managed to convey the potential & traits needed to become a prominent first grade. I have no doubt she would've followed a similar trajectory to Mei Mei in that she'd maximise both her technique & all other factors to be the best that she could be. The main difference being her humanity/morality, which imo would lead to further improvement.

There is no perfect parent, and there is no perfect way of parenting. However, today I bring you the fundamental principles of mindful and conscious parenting aimed at raising resilient and confident children in the future. A few weeks ago, I invited all of you to share your burning questions on parenting, and now you will find the answers in this new episode featuring the amazing Dr. Shefali Tsabary. Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist, a New York Times bestselling author and a highly regarded figure in the conscious parenting space. In this episode, Dr. Shefali sheds light on the blending of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy in her practice and her work in counseling parents in raising authentic children who embrace their true worth. We explore important topics such as managing the influence of social media on our kids, instilling values, and building interpersonal connections. Drawing from her own childhood experiences and her journey as a parent, Dr. Shefali keeps the discussion raw, real, and relatable. I deeply appreciate how she emphasizes that parenting is not about outsourcing the responsibility to nannies or professionals, but about parents recognizing their unique role. While seeking help and utilizing resources is acceptable, the core job of parenting ultimately rests with the parents themselves. We also dive into Dr. Shefali's latest book, "The Parenting Map," which delves into the distinction between conscious parenting and traditional parenting. Whether you are a parent of young children or a grandparent wishing to share this valuable information with your own children who are now parents themselves, this episode aims to reach every caregiver. To access the entire episode, click on the link below, download, listen, reflect, and apply what resonates with you. Here's to cultivating authenticity, confidence, and resilience in our kids!

Andy Burnham is doomed. Doomed! Not just because “multiculturalism” - the fracturing of society - has left Britain ungovernable. After sinking their fangs into Keir, Labour backbenchers are like a Bengal tiger with a taste for human flesh (“mmm, is that garam masala on the loincloth?”). They'll want to hear the screams of another victim soon. And Burnham isn't the Messiah. He genuinely is just a naughty boy (or worse, depending on what we find out about grooming gangs in Oldham). He's got no vision, no mandate, no deep Westminster experience, and he won't be able to keep his party happy. Keir gave Labour MPs everything they wanted. Renters' rights, workers' rights, higher taxes. He made sure Britain had the best looked-after illegal migrants in the world. He stuck to his pledge of housing every Sudanese jihadi in a four-star hotel no more than three minutes' walk from a primary school. He even went cold on Israel. And he caved to their every demand - scrapping much needed welfare reform to appease them. He even got them their jobs (and they're not the sort of people used to such high salaries). But they still tore him down. Burnham will be an even bigger disappointment as they've pinned so many lefty dreams on him - rejoining Europe, scrapping immigration control, even higher welfare. He's about to find out that he won't be able to deliver on any of them. Partly because of the bond markets - but mostly because even Keir, the Borg king, the master of procedure, was unable to wrestle Britain's sclerotic bureaucracy to do what he wanted. Cheeky chappy Andy has got zero chance of mastering it. Giving a thumbs up and saying “eeh, stone roses on me walkman, proper avin it with me Everton season ticket laaaa” might make him seem relatable to the average mouth breather, but The Blob will be unmoved. Andy is the Boris Johnson of the left, and as Boris Johnson showed, people who make good mayors don't do well when they have to cope with the punishing intricacies of actually trying to get things done in government. So I wish Andy a very pleasant eleven months in government, but I've already put money on his demise.

As the promise of AGI increasingly captures the world's imagination, we must ensure that the advancement of AI benefits everyone, particularly underserved populations facing persistent educational and economic disparities. iCog Labs, co-founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel and Getnet in 2013 as Ethiopia's first AI company and still by far its most substantial, provides lessons that reveal both the transformative potential and nuanced challenges of applying AI technologies in the developing world. While AI's potential as an educational equalizer is profound, underserved populations often encounter two core challenges: linguistic barriers and culturally irrelevant educational content. UNESCO estimates 40% of students globally lack access to education in a language they understand, yet developed-world tech companies have little motivation to perfect language technology for populations with minimal purchasing power. iCog Labs has pioneered practical solutions. Their collaboration with Curious Learning exemplifies this approach by leveraging generative AI to develop local-language reading apps, which have over 85,000 active users. Additionally, iCog Labs launched Leyu, a decentralized crowdsourcing platform that collects linguistic resources from disconnected communities, gathering data such as parallel spoken sentences that local developers can use to train translation models. Beyond language barriers, effective education demands cultural relevance. Imported educational content frequently fails to resonate with learners whose everyday experiences differ drastically from standardized curricula. The Digitruck project, an off-grid mobile education center deployed by iCog Labs and partially sponsored by SingularityNET, demonstrates this by bringing coding and AI concepts to rural Ethiopian communities through hands-on experience with tablets and maker kits. Students encounter these technologies through applications in relatable contexts, such as improving farming practices, illustrating AI's power to render other technologies practically empowering. These successes highlight a fundamental challenge: current AI development is dominated by a handful of large corporations from two major nations, which explains why AI language technology currently ignores most African languages and serves affluent urban professionals rather than the rural poor in Africa, Central Asia or elsewhere. The path toward equitable AI-enhanced education requires intentionality, cultural sensitivity, and participatory governance, but the potential rewards of eliminating educational barriers and empowering communities worldwide make this journey imperative.

So yeah, after watching it yesterday for the 5th #ChristmasDay in a row, there is no denial: Patty Jenkins’s #WonderWoman1984 became my Post-Covid #Christmas movie staple. I think I’ll never forget the preview night when it came out, with the film in theatres during just a short evening, because of the announcement that, from that night or, depending on the city, on the following day which was supposed to be its opening day, all theatres would be closed for the following 6 months in the U.K. The rush to get to the nearest theatre still open that evening when the lockdown announcement came, we had to go all the way from London to Maidenhead to be able to watch it on that THU, as the preview screenings that evening in London were being canceled… I was so excited for that film for over 2 years, and somehow I knew that would be the one and only opportunity to see it in theatres. And I was so damn right! I think I never understood, till that point, how much movies, movie theatres and the moviegoing experience were important to me. They’ve always been there as part of my life, I’ve always taken them for granted. Until, all of sudden, they weren’t. And for a moment, #WW84 would be the last blockbuster we would see in a movie theatre, for a long while. That day for me was like our last, desperate way to hold on to the old normal pre-Covid. And in a way, in my mind, I was saying good bye to those Pre-Covid times without even knowing it. When theatres reopened again, 6 months later, things never got back to where they were. On top of a period already challenging as it as, my mother passed away within that bleak period, 2 weeks before theatres reopened. While some say ironically or mockingly that we went through a Great Reset, to me it was a literal reset. A forced one I was never consulted about nor agreed with. But life goes on, and we had to move on with it - but never losing that hope deep inside that, one day, we would have that life pre-Covid back. And that’s how #WonderWoman1984 deeply connected with me, I believe even more on the following Christmas in 2021, when things got scarily more relatable after that tough year. The film had all the messages I needed just on the right time. All the social unrest, forced division and global turmoil that followed from 2021 onwards, mixed with that longing desire to have back a life and the people that I would never have again, it felt like that film was predicting what we were about to go through in the following years, while offering its perspective on how to - and how not to - deal with most of these phantoms. And every time I rewatch it, I appreciate it a bit more. All those beautiful, powerful messages still stand and they feel even more meaningful now than they already were back in DEC 2020. They remind me of what we used to be as society, but also remind me of what we still can be, depending on the path we decide to take. And I know, I know - on this app, that movie means different things for different people, or even it might be the case it feels meaningless for some. I totally understand, respect and appreciate the diversity of opinions around it, and I see where they are coming from. I’ll never fight about your own views about the movie or your experience with it. That’s the magic of the movies after all, resonate differently with different people, as a collective but diverse experience. But to me it has a deeper meaning, and I love revisiting it time and time again. Until next Christmas!

Catherine, the Princess of Wales A life shaped by character, and a quiet strength shaping the future of the monarchy. Today, on her 44th birthday, we celebrate Catherine, the Princess of Wales - a woman whose significance transcends headlines or fleeting trends. Her true importance lies in something rarer: character proven over time. From the start of her public life, Catherine endured intense scrutiny few could withstand. Watched, judged, and often misrepresented, she responded not with resentment or spectacle, but with restraint born of discernment. She listened, learned, and waited understanding that royal life demands service, endurance, and responsibility over self-expression. Her marriage to William reflects that same depth: tested under relentless pressure yet allowed to mature privately, it is now grounded in trust, shared values, and mutual respect. As parents to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, Catherine and William prioritise emotional security, raising children who are grounded, empathetic, and mindful of both privilege and duty. Her influence here is profound - shaping not through optics, but through heartfelt preparation for the monarchy’s future. Catherine’s greatest strength lies in her emotional discipline: a quiet mastery that absorbs criticism without defensiveness, lets baseless narratives fade untouched, and bears pressure with unwavering grace. In an era of outrage and retaliation, her restraint is true power choosing consistency over confrontation, patience over provocation, and dignity over demands for validation. She modernises through reliability, offering stability and reassurance where others chase relevance or attention. Rooted in authenticity rather than performance, she strengthens the institution without overshadowing it. This clarity shone brightest during her cancer experience. Choosing privacy to protect her children and focus on treatment, she spoke only when speculation left little choice- addressing the world with calm composure, no self-pity, and resolute dignity. Now in remission, her reflections this birthday on the healing power of nature remind us of her deepened gratitude for life itself. In a changing world defined by noise and self-promotion, Catherine embodies composure and service. These qualities do not trend, but they endure the quiet architecture of leadership. Resilient, relatable, and revolutionary in her understated way, she represents stability with heart. As we honour her today, Catherine’s story affirms that true royalty resides not in crowns, but in character. She is the epitome of dignified strength, a beacon for generations, and undoubtedly the heart of the monarchy’s future. Happy birthday, Your Royal Highness. May your light continue to shine. ✨♥️ 🎂
