    Indonesia beat China 3:0 in Thomas Cup and goes to Semi Final to face Japan (Badminton men team World Cup)

    Didn't expect that 3-0 result. Thought it would either be 3-2 Indonesia or 4-1 Indonesia. But our top players brought out their top games in all the first three. Sen particularly has been a revelation for us, he has the ability to be consistently in the top 5 if not top 3 in the future. It's the...

    What Are You Listening to Right Now - Round 2

    I liked the expression better of the woman in the Rim Jhim Gire Saawan song. Also isn't it odd, when you hear this song especially the original one by Kishore Kumar, you always visualize rain outside even though it's not there in the original one.

    Why Imran Khan Lost?

    It's 'Ye' or 'Yeh' not 'Yah'. As mentioned in the video, Imran Khan should have gracefully accepted the mandate of the members of the assembly and the Supreme Court instead of blaming it on foreign conspiracies by US, India, etc. He still has another election in a few years so he still has the...

    "The Japanese see India as the land of Lord Buddha ,which is why they have a lot of respect for Indians"

    I'm wondering why Persians were their deadly rivals in religion. Why did the split occur, if it occurred? Which is good. Why would you want continuous conflict? That's under the assumption that both the groups parted in some place, probably Central Asia, and then proceeded on East and West...

    The rise of South Indian industry is a good thing for Indian cinema and should raise standards of Indian movies in general. South Indian movies are a breath of fresh air in a country dominated with North India centric Hindi movies.

    "The Japanese see India as the land of Lord Buddha ,which is why they have a lot of respect for Indians"

    Didn't get this. Do you mean they came to India and reversed the meaning of Deva and Asura for some reason and if yes, why did they do this and how is it a form a co-opting invaders in this context? Conversely, it could also be that some people might have migrated from India to Persia and the...

    "The Japanese see India as the land of Lord Buddha ,which is why they have a lot of respect for Indians"

    Yes, that might be a late absorption, possibly in the Gupta period between 300 CE and 600 CE. Lord Buddha being an avatar of Lord Vishnu is also disputed. Regardless, Hindus have enormous respect for him and his philosophies, which were in turn influenced by earlier Hindu ideas. There's a great...

    "The Japanese see India as the land of Lord Buddha ,which is why they have a lot of respect for Indians"

    Hmm, I don't know really about it as much, will have to look into it. Since I anyway am not a Muslim, I won't refer to him as a Prophet but I respect it if you consider him as one. Some Muslims also say that even Lord Krishna is one of your prophets but again, I don't believe in that. You...

    "The Japanese see India as the land of Lord Buddha ,which is why they have a lot of respect for Indians"

    Doubtful again since Alexander worshipped the Greek Gods and Cyrus was a Zoroastrian. Really astounded at the lengths you go to pin the blame on Hinduism lol. Seriously, @jamahir , sorry but it's a waste of time talking with you even if you are presented with facts. I can't literally explain...

    Apparently, the movie is based on the tragic demise of Parveen Babi. Yeah, he was accused in a rape case. Ruined his own career. Sounds plausible.

    "The Japanese see India as the land of Lord Buddha ,which is why they have a lot of respect for Indians"

    If this is Nepali, then that's another language that I can add to my list of spoken languages😜 Lord Buddha didn't believe in God so I'm not really sure how he is believed to be an Islamic prophet. But you respecting him despite his views, that's enough for us heathens😂 Both Buddhism and...

    बुद्धम् शरणम् गच्छामि धर्मम् शरणम् गच्छामि संघम् शरणम् गच्छामि Buddham Sharnam Gachhami Dhamma Sharnam Gachhami Sangham Sharnam Gachhami I actually feel sad that Buddhism was wiped out from Afghanistan☹️. What do you feel? You are missing out a very important binary number without which all...

    What Are You Listening to Right Now - Round 2

    Nice but what does the singer want to say? That he's fed up of the conflicts everywhere? Didn't expect you to listen to this type of song😂. But you've also mentioned why you listened to it😆 Ah, listed to Jhula Jhulaye after such a long time! But this is the one I prefer listening to Also...
