INDIAN ECON, POLITICS, SOCIETY + BTC PRICE

[libert19]

Yeah, living in India is like playing video game on hard mode and if you are general category then lol you are fucked and it's a question of when and not if. Take new proposed law from Congress " rohith vemula act".

To live in India, we need a special immunity power, for example street foods. I doubt someone from another country who eats street foods will have severe stomach upsets

Lol, leave foreigners alone, even I being an Indian got food poisioning several times. I usually eat home food so may be my immune system hasn't got resistance like other folks.

...and recently, someone from Norway posted a video. And the same goes for traffic, we can't expect a foreigner to commute in a metro city's traffic.

Everytime I sit in rickshaw, I feel relieved to reach the destination, that's how reckless they drive.

The last few posts reminded me of the "Delhi Belly" movie. I saw it long time back when it was released and recently watched it again.

I dont know why Bollywood no longer makes movies like these, its like those movies that you must see once your lifetime. Drama, Comedy, Toilet humor, obscene words, everything of the Indian style is there.

I loved that movie, it's one of my favorites, and the songs and the choreography (?), absolute comedy, we don't get stuff like that often indeed.

I rewatch or hear it's songs when I am down, helps with the mood.

You should try it occasionally, not just to enjoy the experience, but to build resistance.

Folks from around the world go on adventure travel once in a year but for us it just happens in day-to-day scenarios. Rickshaw rides are not just a commute, but an adventurous ride, where we have to face things like roller coasters from potholes, sudden lane changes with no signal at all, and brakes that almost kiss the rear end of the vehicle.

I remember delhi belly for few scenes, which i believe are iconic.

- red light area scene where one of the main character (kunal Kapoor, loved his character) order fry chicken and vender handles his jewel before serving.

- every scene of Vijay raaj( dude is legend) and pradeep kabra, who can forget the dialogue delivery of " sir lundry" " sir yeh toh tatti hai".

That is true. Even I have decreased eating outside food. In my entire lifetime, I have not ate outside food a lot though.
Just on some occasions may but that would be it. I like home food as it's the best in quality.
We even make junk food at home sometimes like Wadapav, pani puri, bhel, pizza etc...
I guess that's the best way to stay fit + hit the gym.

Bhai jaise jaise umar bad rahi bahar ka na hi khayo toh badiya hai. Nihari, kabab etc were my go to food and used to eat daily but ab sab band ho gaya bahar se.

Overall modern eating problems reminds me of famous saying of dada dadi.

Din mein ek baar khayo toh Yogi, 2 baar khao toh Bhogi, 3 baar khao toh Rogi, so choose wisely. I fall in catagory of bhogi but keep one 24-36 hours fast every week as resting period for guts.

You don't even have to hit gym tbh, plenty exercises can be done at home — push ups, squats, pull ups (you can hang wherever possible in your house or get a pull up bar), jump rope (costs ~150 rupee on Amazon), etc.

Oh yes, working out at home is definitely possible but we need a strong motivation to workout from home.
I have tried it and succeeded to some extent but honestly speaking, I prefer hitting the gym.
Its a different kind of feeling working out at the gym and seeing others working out feels motivated too.
We also make some new friends but yeah, for those people who don't want to spend much and want to workout at home then yes they can opt for that too.

Yes, atleast we need to fit in a way that we can do all our activities on our own and doesn't need to have abs.

But our foods are highly carb and often lack protein sources which is one of the main reason for obesity and type 2 diabetes, we should consume less carbs and increase protein source whether as veggies or from meat (that's different politics  ).

Calisthenic exercises like Pushup, situp, hollow body holds can be done without any equipment. Only pull ups require a pull up bar which you can order online as well.

These are good if done in the proper form. Form is of utmost importance or else the muscles dont get activated and you will not see any changes over the years.

But these calisthenics are the oldest form of free hand exercise and they are difficult to master, much better than going to a gym and getting into that subculture, I dont like it anyway.

That is true, the usual food items we eat do carry a lot of carbs. I personally rely on Protein Shake to complete my protein intake.
These days though I am finding it hard to dedicate my time to the gym. I even fell sick and had a viral infection recently but I am good now.
Will be hitting the gym tomorrow again.

Yes, Calisthenics are obviously better but to be honest, it needs a strong will power to start working out at home.
How do you guys start the workout at home ? I really procrastinate on that but I feel like working out at the gym once I am there.

What is going on with the marriages and women in particular, the deaths reported regarding dowry is less compared to what we had a couple of decades back but on the other side women killing their husband in many creative ways for various reasons (cut them into pieces, fill them under cement flooring, fill in a suitcase and throw into the river, etc).

Are we failing in marriages? Or worse even as a society?

It used to be men harassing women a lot in past but now we got equality, women does the same to men. Since the influence of social media boom the expectations increased about lifestyle or the parents forgot to teach their kids about moral values and now leading to a situation of do anything you want.

You do Nike — Just do it 

There is nothing wrong if going to gym if it gets you into mood of working out, whatever floats your boat.

I'll go with latter.

I'll be honest, I have hard time understanding words you use, and if Google can't answer it, I am hopeless — wdym with 'blue drum pictures as joke'?

I definitely agree, most women abuse never gets reported.

Lol, he means this



This news hit headlines and almost everyone knows this murder case. A girl named Sonam along with her boyfriend killed her husband.
She cut him into pieces and put him into this blue drum filled with cement. This was a horrifying murder case.
So women have started posting this blue drum as a joke saying their husbands to beware of it.

Marriages is becoming transaction or trade deal rather than being a companionship for each other to grow old. we can see girls expect 6 figure salary and want to settle for their life and some of the interviews we see on YouTube they're expecting unrealistic salary that only 1% of boys make such money. And from men they expect loads of money, gold in the name of dowry, we are definitely going down the wrong path.

And the cases related to Alimony are nect level...

You just start, "dont think, just do" (< Top Gun:Maverick 2024)

You can never start otherwise, you will keep on procrastinating. You eventually can learn from starting them, like most people end up doing pushups without tucked in elbows and the back bent, you have to keep elbows tucked in and back straight.

CaliMove channel on youtube has some good videos on how this, you can see them anytime.

Trump announced 25% reciprocal tariffs on imports. But Pharma, Oil, and electronics are exempted from these, but do we have anything to hold against US to negotiate?
