This “naturally gifted” narrative is one of the most misleading takes in football. When someone reaches a level that seems impossible, people suddenly act as if talent alone explains everything. Cristiano Ronaldo did not win five Ballon d’Or awards and score over 950 goals just because he worked hard. If hard work alone was enough, football would be full of players with those numbers. What separates the truly great is the combination of elite talent and an elite work ethic. Ronaldo is not proof that hard work beats talent. He is proof of what happens when extraordinary talent meets extraordinary dedication. People need to stop using Lionel Messi as the example of someone who succeeded purely because of natural talent. Messi’s genius is obvious, but talent alone does not sustain excellence for two decades, win multiple Ballon d’Or awards, or keep a player at the very top of the game year after year. That level of consistency demands sacrifice, professionalism, and an obsession with improvement. We've seen talented players waste away and never attain this height because they lack the consistency and hard work to replicate such heights. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one. Messi is one of the most naturally gifted footballers ever, but he is also one of the hardest working. The idea that he simply relied on talent while others relied on effort is a lazy and inaccurate way of looking at greatness. The greatest players combine both at a level most people cannot comprehend.

For the uninformed. If you want to know why the Tamil Nadu press didn't cover this, John Britto is Leema Rose Martin's brother. Aadhav Arjuna's wife's uncle. Wanted in a drug case and has fled abroad. Some change da dei.

The standard narrative taught in global textbooks creates a massive logical blind spot: it confuses the origin of a word with the origin of the science itself. To be absolutely clear on the facts: the linguistic etymology is correct, the word "algebra" undeniably comes from the Arabic al-jabr via al-Khwārizmī’s 9th-century book. But al-Khwārizmī did not invent the mathematics. ~200 yrs before al-Khwārizmī wrote his book in Baghdad, the Indian mathematician Brahmagupta published the Brahmasphuta Siddhanta (The Correct Treatise of Brahma). Brahmagupta’s work was a mathematical revolution. He established the structural rules of algebra that we use today: - Brahmagupta was the 1st to formalize 0 as a number in eqns, defining rules like A - A = 0 & explaining how zero interacts with (+)ve & (-)ve numbers. - He introduced the concept of (-)ve numbers, calling (+)ve numbers fortunes (dhana) & (-)ve numbers debts (rina) & laid out the algebraic rules for multiplying them (e.g., a debt times a debt is a fortune). - He gave the world the 1st explicit algebraic formula to solve quadratic eqns (ax^2 + bx = c). In the 8th century, the Abbasid Caliphate established the Bayt al-Hikma (House of Wisdom) in Baghdad. They realized that Indian mathematics was centuries ahead of the rest of the world. Around 773 CE, an Indian astronomer & mathematician traveled to Baghdad bringing sanskrit texts, including Brahmagupta’s treatise. The Caliph ordered these texts to be translated into Arabic. This translated work became known in the Arab world as Al-Sindhind (a direct phonetic corruption of the Sanskrit Siddhanta). Al-Khwārizmī sat in Baghdad with access to Al-Sindhind. He absorbed the Indian decimal system, the use of zero & the algebraic methods of solving eqns. When he wrote his famous book, he was systemizing these Indian methods into a textbook format for an Arabic-speaking audience. In fact, al-Khwārizmī wrote another book explicitly titled Kitāb al-Jamʿ wat-Tafrīq bi-Ḥisāb al-Hind (The Book of Addition & Subtraction According to the Hindu Calculation). While the Arabic word al-jabr means restoration of broken parts, the ancient Indian Sanskrit word for algebra is far more philosophically & logically profound: Bīja-gaṇita. Bīja means seed/element. Gaṇita means calculation. Indian logicians like Bhāskara II (who later wrote a definitive text titled Bīja-gaṇita) explained that arithmetic deals with visible, known quantities, but algebra deals with the hidden seed, the unknown variable (x). Just as a giant tree is hidden inside a tiny, invisible blueprint within a seed, the final answer of a complex universe is hidden inside the unknown variable of an algebraic eqn.

@tskrishnan Strategy encompassing regional pride factor and aspirations. Anna is right on this

@tskrishnan Modiji has been always been respectful of every Bharatiya culture and he has a special admiration towards the tamil culture. However, what annamalai anna is saying is that BJP as a party have been nebulous in its political language in TN and they do not have a bespoken electoral

There is no Right Wing and Left wing in India. There are Bharatiya and Chutiyaas.

Always think World Cups are so beautiful for associative memory. They come every four years, allow you to reflect on life, how far you have come, where you were when it last came and just an opportunity to somehow be grateful for everything.

#WATCH | Nagpur | RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat says, "We want to make our country prosperous because the world listens to those who have power; the truth alone is not enough, only strength commands respect; the world is such that the powerful act as they wish while the weak must bow, whether it is conquering a country, dropping bombs, or cutting off oil supply all this happens because of power; yet India does not aim to harm anyone but to guide and uphold everyone, and when India stands strong on its own principles, led by virtuous individuals shaping society, it will show the world a new path, not through dominance, but as a spiritually devoted nation spreading righteousness..."

People say India is land of Dharma and we are behind western countries and even China, it means Dharma does not work. My question is, who exactly is following Dharma here? Dharma says keep your surroundings clean, be hygenic, be humble, be tolerant, don't insult others, don't decieve others. When we destroy Dharma, that Dharma destroys us. धर्म एव हतो हन्ति धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः

Doing away with Article 370 was a grave assault on the Indian Constitution. And who does he quote to make his case? The Chief Justice of Pakistan. CJP then. CJP now.
