Mr. Know-it-all, but let's talk Cricket or Bollywood or Movies or Books or technology. Or any topic, but politics. I am tired of politics.

Also no DMs.
Back is in spasms,
On the bed I lay flattened,
Will it get better?

A third of India's population? That's just crazy. There must be something wrong about that number. Maybe off by a zero or 2?
With over 40 crore visitors expected to visit Prayagraj during the 45-day Maha Kumbh Mela, the administration has set up 10 lost and found centres at the fairgrounds to help reconnect lost pilgrims with their loved ones. Watch: www.thehindu.com/videos/watch...

Rohit and Virat should retire after this test match. They are taking up valuable space now. There was no business in dropping Gill to make space for Rohit at the top. We are too weak in batting to go with only 4 pure batsmen, out of whom two are almost guaranteed to fail.

Just finished bhoolbhulaiya 3 on Netflix. Inordinately stupid movie. Just bad all over with no redeeming qualities. And this made money. I just don't know anymore.

Players were always juggling cricket with other commitments – perhaps none more than England’s greatest Test all-rounder, Enid Bakewell, who missed out on an international debut, at home to New Zealand in 1966, because she was pregnant - @rafnicholson.bsky.social

I am going back to India. It's interesting now. When I go back to India, it's going back home. But when I am coming back to the USA, it's coming back home too. #manwithnocountry or #manwithtwocountries?

I got an earthquake warning on the phone and for the last 20 minutes I feel like everything is shaking just mildly enough for me to not be sure about it.

I had a hard day,
Yet sleep does not come at all,
Tomorrows Monday. #haiku
