IMPORTANT: World Bank Poverty and Equity Report October 2026: India has recorded one of the fastest poverty reductions in the world between 2011 and 2023, lifting an estimated 496 million people out of poverty.
Extreme Poverty ($3.00/day, 2021 PPP): The share of the population living in extreme poverty dropped sharply from 27.1% to 2.6%.
Hahahaha... Good one.
Excellent storytelling by Shaun Pollock on team meetings and how it doesn't always help... Perhaps why MS Dhoni didn't believe much in them and at max had a minute or so before games!
Also, notice the quality of commentary here compared to what Indians are fed with! 🙏@abcsport

"If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way." - Napoleon Hill
brainyquote.com/quotes/napol…
Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author and one of the founders of the modern personal-success genre. His 1937 book "Think and Grow Rich," drawn from his study of successful people of his era, became one of the best-selling self-help books of all time and still inspires readers to pursue their goals with persistence and purpose. (1883-1970)

Trust Pakistan cricket to do the unbelievable. Salman Agha, captain in the first test, dropped from the second, sent home before the third! Coach and bowling coach gone midway through a series. Senior keeper sent home. Replacements hoping to get visas in time, let alone be ready for a test match. As always, more action off the field!

Five Germans in an Audi Quattro arrive at the Italian border. The Italian Customs Officer stops them and tells them "It'sa illegala to putta 5 people in a Quattro."
"Vot do you mean it's illegal?" asks the German driver.
"Quattro meansa four" replies the Italian official.
"Quattro is just ze name of ze automobile" the German says unbelievingly. "Look at ze dam papers: ze car is designed to karry 5 persons"
"You canta pulla thata one on me!" replies the Italian customs officer. "Quattro meansa four. You have five-a people ina your car and you are thereforea breaking tha law."
The German driver replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your zupervisor over. I vant to speak to someone viz more intelligence!"
"Sorry" responds the Italian officer, "He can'ta come. He'sa busy witha 2 guys in a Fiat Uno.

Noticed something unusual.
Someone closed to me passed away and they belong to kutchi community.
Community has this thing were memebers will come and takes care of all the last rituals and everything for the family and guests for that day (including meals) and next one. Community is so strong and pro active to lean on tough times that one can’t imagine.
Family and friends are allowed to grieve and everything around is taken care off.
Never seen or heard off with any other community.
People should learn their model at Kutchi Bhavan and how they take care of medical and social needs of the community. Twitter and most Indian's cannot comprehend or imagine facilities and care they get in less than ₹100.

ALT Thank you from Swaminarayan Akshardham, New Delhi, to NSG for their continued service to the nation.
The National Security Guard in close co-ordination with BSF Air wing, Delhi police and BAPS Swami Narayan Sanstha, conducted aerial Insertion mock-drill at Akshardham Temple as a part of preparations for IDC 2026, validating operational readiness, rapid response, tactical coordination and inter-agency synergy in the complex urban environment.
The exercise reinforced preparedness to respond swiftly and decisively to emerging threats while ensuring seamless coordination between participating agencies.

Mumbai is perfectly normal after receiving ~1000 mm (higher than the entire July annual average) of rainfall in just a few days.
NO other city in the world, I repeat, NO other city in the world gets back on its feet as quickly as 'aamchi Mumbai'

India has a bigger negativity problem than a poverty problem.
Kunal raised close to $1 billion and became the global CEO of WhatsApp. Yet every second comment and post from Indians is - I’ve never used CRED or What does CRED even do?
The interesting question should be, “What did he do right to get there?” No one wants to learn. No one wants to get inspired.
The same people mocking him will retire in the same EMI they were born into.
