^^ not trying to spread negativity but from national security perspective.

-Our defence procurement policy is in mess. Less we talk about jet engines the better, i gets into depression whenever I think about kaveri engine and our dependency on GE-F404 for tejas. Barring the engine fiasco pvt sector is picking up pace but defence babus like videsi maal too much because of their cuts.

- atm we are not doing too great in launching our own satellite. Recently we had a major setback on launching spy satellite.

This big news went under radar here. Nimo tai bhagwan ka roop dharan kar rahi hai lower/middle class ke liye. She gets trolled a lot but to be fair to her, she's doing her best since Covid. If we ignore Bitcoin- crypto bill thingy, she's doing some real work for majority of people.

Pehle no tax upto 12.75 lakh aur ab gst 2.0 reform.

It's better to remain spectators instead of taking sides with no judgement, no need to become chaudhary when all the ladies at home gets into action, lugaiyo ki bhasad se dur hi Raho toh aacha hai lol.

Everything depends on individual to individual. I've lived alone and away from home on and off since I was teen (as 15-16 yo) and now in mid 30s living in joint family setting, I am incredibly relaxed. At times, it's chaotic af but it doesn't bother me at all and weirdly i find it very peaceful because I am surrounded with loved ones. Yeah, there's always irritating character in group but overall it's all good.

When lankans lost to India couple of years back with big margin, they had political meltdown and guess everyone took a belt treatment, i remember seeing it as breaking news from one sport journalist, even print media had to say thing or two about it.

Don't think Proteas' will draw this kind of outrage back in home as series was sealed already and last match had no relevance.

These pitches looks really tough to bat on, every batting side facing more or less same problem and so far failed to tackle slowness of wicket.

Fans should be glad that they are not using sharjah for asia Cup otherwise things would have been dull with such slow decks.

Oh boy! Poms are taking South Africa to cleaners, first with the bat and now with the ball.

Proteas' might have some excuses because they did rested few players but dont think it justify this kind of hammering. Poms are literally killing it today.

That's a problem with the ICC, narrative is controlled by old dogs and they are hell bent on subsidising test cricket ( not in a proper manner but they are doing it anyway).

This fund could have helped associate in a big way but guess we are not there yet and current situation won't change

Ngl, after Covid, moving in with family and then joint family including my in laws was one of the best decision of my life.

I mean closed friend group is all good but the kind of support and security you get in joint family is unparalleled. You will have some issues here n there like differences in opinion, privacy and chota mota nuak jokh but pros trumps all the cons

In a longer format yeah but they need all the backing in T-20 format, including associate. No matter if they're bad or even if series are turning into dead rubber.

The only way they'll improve is by playing more, other formats could be loss making affairs but t-20 not so much, if it's done consistenty it will give dividends in next 5-10 years.

Srilanka had a hard time against Zimbabwe in ODI despite being top seeded team but IMO T-20 is the only true format which can be level the field and where low rank team could compete with anyone and if given chance regularly ( priority to associate) with proper backing they could do wonders in spreading the game.

Not a promising update for lankans just before the Asia Cup, i know deck would be different but still they need to some brainstorming.

Maharaj well, some might call him late bloomer i guess?

Spinners in south Africa gets a tough deal so refreshing to see his rise. Also possible they are not preparing dead wickets for spinners. Guess they are hosting next ICc tournament so won't mind some help for finger/wrist spinners in SA.

Feel like I am repeating, every one saw the declined but muslim group still higher and yes it does effect demography. I don't see any contradiction on this argument and the report.

Mockery and banter goes long way and it's fun when it doesn't come from superioty complex. In meat eating argument it's always assumed, vegetarian is for weak. It's not and if that was the case then they would've won against us every single time. ICC ODI record still stand at million - big fat zero and if we had played more bilaterals continuosly, one could imagine the lead.

Point is Balanced Diet is extremely important but to say one way is superior to others is wrong imo. Virat is vegetarian and our 99.99% wrestlers are vegetarian even Olympians.

Another point is, nutrient diet is there but main issue is education. Majority of educated folks are likely to be aware of consequences of having more children, especially on limited earnings ( same way you argued about having 1 kid, that's why I used your argument) but uneducated person not so, with few exceptions. Mind you I am talking about un/educated and not financially capable person.

Nah it's a meme, we need solid solutions because it's a national security issue in India. We are already chaotic country with enough nutcases but we are fucked and our demography will become curse if this infiltration is not checked.

In red ball, if you look at overall batting unit of Proteas' then he's not misfit and does provide some assurance in the middle order and in ODI he's not that bad.

Not going into their retarded policy but overall, with new talent showing up. Their team seems to building up nicely so they are surely on uptrend.

Buvama is promised king for Proteas' fire. Lol

Won WTC, won against Aussie at home and now secured the ODI series against England in their own backyard. Hope they don't this " promised king" literally and stage his comeback in T-20 too.

You missed the point, i said it's declining for everyone but x group is still higher from all other groups. See this study : https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/09/21/religious-composition-of-india/

This argument reminds me commentary of some pakistani cricketers, indians players don't eat meat that's why they are not strong lol.

Diet etc is important but not the only factor. Education plays the biggest role. One example is this, you said it yourself "And for an average middle class their kid fee will be around 20-30% of their salary for a month and that is why now we are not interested in multiple kids just stuck with one."

Then there is another problem from illegal migration from Bangladeshi and Rohingya, it will certainly add upto the problem. Why do you think PM had to announce demography mission from the red fort ( focus was not fertility but the migration).

In Delhi, new government did pass a bill to regulate school fees and other useless stuff, don't know if it's implemented or they are using usual loopholes to bypass law. Maybe give tax benefit? This might lesson the burden for salaried class.

Regarding one/multiple kids, I look at it from different perspective. fertility rate is falling in India for every section but at the same time one specific group still up in fertility rate and if we continue to follow this trajectory then big demography change is coming in next 20-30 years. Without sounding alarmist, one should remember what happens when some group reach 30-35% of total population or become majority.

Yeah, i forgot about that but still it should have been 24 teams tournament atleast in T-20 format as plenty of teams are worthy to get in and they did hand out T20 status to everyone like a candy.

ODI is tricky for associates, most of them will gas out and run out of carrots with in half innings.

Yeah, now 1 lakh seems like a norm in any decent school, no matter who you are, you are going to break your bank for kids and don't think it's going to ease in near future because school lobby seems to be quite strong with the support of politicians, in some cases they run it.

There are some proposals of putting up cap on fees in Delhi but don't know what's the progress.

for t-20 it won't be exciting if they are following their previous format where  associate playing among themselves first and only few get to play in next round, this process turns 20 team tournament into 14-15 teams competition.

But again ICC won't leave the ranking setup, in fact they are scared of it, same goes with the ODI.
