Nobody born into this world is perfect. Every single person carries some imperfection. She may well have a medical condition. What matters is her performance in her board exams, not how she looks. So well done to her, and here's wishing her the very best in everything she sets out to do.

Temperatures in April are already hitting 43°C.
During the rains, roads get submerged.
In winter, the air feels like smoking a cigarette.
Meanwhile, real estate is selling for ₹10–20 crore like it’s nothing.
There is a very big gap between liveability and pricing. Something really weird.

"Above 40 degree is the temperature at 9:30 am already.
All credit to our illiterate politicians for cutting down trees for their crony friends, running smear campaigns against climate change activists and constantly living in denial"

I am always careful not to waste any food and feel guilty if I do it.
How people can waste a bucket full of milk so easily and deliberately is beyond me.

"Slavery does not merely mean a legalised form of subjection.
It means a state of society in which some men are forced to accept from others the purposes which control their conduct."

You can get 90% of the result for ₹96,000/year - using food that grew in this soil for 3,000 years.
1,770× cheaper. Every number sourced."

India's economy grew 7.6% this past year, the fastest pace of any big economy on earth. The country still dropped from 4th to 6th in global GDP rankings. Both things are true, and they're connected by a story that has almost nothing to do with growth.
In rupees, India's economy got bigger by roughly 9%. But ranking countries means converting everything into US dollars first, and two things went sideways on that conversion.
The rupee weakened. It slid from 84.6 per dollar in 2024 to around 93 per dollar now, about a 9% fall in a single year. Several pressures drove it down. US tariffs on Indian goods hit 50% this year. Foreign investors pulled nearly $18 billion out of Indian stocks. October's trade deficit set a record at $41.68 billion. When your currency drops, your economy looks smaller to the outside world even while factories keep humming at home. The UK kept its ranking spot because the pound barely moved against the dollar.
Then on February 27, 2026, India changed how it counts GDP for the first time in over a decade. The new method is more accurate and lines up with international standards, but it mathematically wiped about ₹12 lakh crore (around $130 billion) off the official size of the economy overnight. Nothing about the actual production changed. Just the math.
Stack those together and India's 2026 GDP comes in at $4.15 trillion, just below the UK at $4.26 trillion and Japan at $4.38 trillion. The IMF's own forecast says India retakes 4th place next year at $4.58 trillion, passes Japan by 2028, and reaches $6.17 trillion by 2030.
A weaker currency and a new accounting method pushed India down the list. The underlying economy grew faster than any other major economy in the world this past year.
