During my college times, I have seen water being collected in the Check dam after rain, and kids would dive in and swim. But as the river reached the city, it just got sewery with horrible stench.

The only way you win is to stop playing the game at all. I learned this lesson the hard way. What made you realise this lesson. How have you been doing after that? Edit- it could be as simple as moving on from a friend or an ex that made you think a certain way. Certain self imposed limits and expectations. Has anyone ever done it and gotten a better life. 2 15 replies

Is the Fourth Pillar Still Alive in Tamil Nadu? I've been observing a concerning trend in Tamil Nadu recently. Reports suggest that in the state assembly, live telecasts of ruling party speeches are prioritized, while those of the opposition are blacked out. Today, the Speaker reportedly admitted that due to "technical changes," they couldn't display the opposition's speeches. This explanation seems far from convincing. This raises serious questions about transparency and the impartiality of those in power. Moreover, we are seeing a rise in cases against individuals who speak out against the government, while those who commit actual... 3 3 replies
