I saw Rajinikanth, the actor, only after becoming a fan of Rajini, the superstar, maybe 15 years back (late viewing of Baasha and Padayappa) For all the insane unparalleled fun that he gives to fans, this is super well-deserved.

One of the best productivity hacks is to get 2-3 hours on Sunday nights to plan the week ahead (and clear off some). This has probably been the single biggest hack to feel more in control through the week. Tonight’s venue for a change is an Indiranagar favourite Lavonne.

That first guy. The only way to live life.
This video is a masterclass in psychology.
The first person to do something always looks weird. People laugh. Then somebody else joins. Then the crowds come in and the person who started the whole thing goes from looking like a goon to looking like a genius.

Your religion - 2000-3000 years old. Your country - 50-200 years old. Your favorite leader - 15-20 years as one. Humanity and laughter - 100000+ years old. If only we all realise this and get perspective, we would generally be less outraged and laugh lot more.
