Actually gender equality is tricky to understand. Man and woman were not made to compete with each other but to complete each other. They are both superior and inferior to each other in some ways. And in THAT sense they are equal.

Meghalaya's Akash Kumar smashed the fastest ever First Class fifty in 11 balls.

A sign you're wasting your LIFE.
You have the same problems you had 5 years ago.
Same weight.
Same job complaints.
Same relationship issues.
Same money problems.
You're not stuck.
You're choosing to stay.
Five years passed anyway.
You could have been free by now.

Jyoti Basu committed many misdeeds in his lifetime. From the Marichjhapi massacre to several other dark chapters, we know quite a few. But today, let’s talk about one of his most shameful acts — his cruelty toward world-renowned swimmer Mihir Sen.
Yes, the same Mihir Sen who became the first Indian to swim across the English Channel.
After crossing the English Channel in 1958, Mihir Sen went on to swim across seven more seas with the support of the Indian government, proving his extraordinary skill and endurance.
As a result, he was awarded the Padma Shri in 1959 and the Padma Bhushan in 1967. His achievements even earned him the Blitz Nehru Trophy for exceptional accomplishment.
People often say Bengalis don’t know how to do business — but Mihir Sen proved otherwise.
He ventured into silk export, and soon, thanks to his quality and honesty, his company became India’s second-largest silk exporter, officially recognized by the government.
But fate — or rather, the Left — had other plans.
The year was 1977, the West Bengal Assembly elections were approaching.
At that time, Mihir Sen was instructed to campaign for Jyoti Basu. Along with the request came the lure of a government post. Mihir Sen, a man of integrity, refused — and instead, the very next day, he filed his nomination as an independent candidate.
In that election, Comrade Jyoti Basu won by a massive margin and became Chief Minister.
But he didn’t forget Mihir Sen’s defiance. What followed was sheer vengeance.
He unleashed his goons on Mihir Sen. Strikes, threats, and chaos became routine. If Mihir Sen refused to bow to trade union demands, his offices, shops, and factories were covered in graffiti and slogans. Days-long blockades by CITU (the CPI(M)’s trade union) paralysed his business.
The unrest soon spread to his silk factories in Kidderpore — once thriving units that overnight turned into ghost houses. Even tea stalls replaced textile workshops.
The police, ordered from Alimuddin Street (the CPI(M) headquarters), remained silent spectators.
When Mihir Sen’s factories refused to give in, CITU activists set fire to a truck loaded with export goods, worth lakhs of rupees. The police watched — they didn’t even try to stop it.
Years of union violence destroyed Mihir Sen’s once-prosperous business.
Was Jyoti Basu’s revenge complete now? Not quite.
Next came fabricated cases.
Police raided his home, his company, his factories — everywhere.
His cash, assets, and properties were seized, leaving his family shattered and destitute.
The man who had once made India proud could barely afford food for his family.
Soon after, Mihir Sen suffered a stroke and lost his memory, he was just 50 years old.
He still had to appear in court regularly for those false cases.
In the courtroom, Leftist lawyers would mock and insult him and his wife.
And yet, it wasn’t over.
In 1988, Jyoti Basu summoned the broken man once more and offered him a chance to join the Left Front. Mihir Sen refused outright.
In retaliation,Left-backed thugs made his life even more unbearable.
By the time Mihir Sen died in 1997, he was completely penniless.
The only thing left was a small flat in Alipore, allotted to him by LIC
You might think his suffering ended with death — but no, it continued even after.
His daughter, Supriya, who lived in London, returned a few years later to find the Alipore flat ransacked.
Mihir Sen’s Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan medals, along with several other awards, had been stolen.
She even received threatening calls to vacate the flat.
Despite complaints to the local police station and the Kolkata Police Commissioner, nothing happened.
Thus,this world-famous Bengali swimmer, who once brought glory to India,faded away from public memory, destroyed by political vindictiveness.
We,this generation,have heard only of Mihir Sen’s achievements
but not of how a once-successful sportsman and entrepreneur was ruined and humiliated,step by step,by Jyoti Basu’s arrogance and cruelty.

This is an excellent message, something that all Indians should wake up to. We fail miserably as a nation when it comes to cleanliness in public spaces. We limit our efforts to our homes, and we throw the filth out to be picked up by another.
It is high time we found automated solutions that would make the lives of these sanitation workers easier.
Thank you for sharing this poignant message.
Please don’t skip this.
I have a sincere request.
Before you scroll, watch this short clip with full attention. Not casually. Watch it as if you are seeing a mirror of our society.
November 8th!
A heartfelt salute to all the compassionate souls who have turned the 8th of every month into #SwachhagrahiSammanDiwas - a day dedicated to thanking, appreciating, and engaging with the #Swachhagrahis who keep our public spaces livable and dignified.
Your consistency matters.
Your gestures matter.
And to those who haven’t joined yet - this is your invitation.
Let’s step forward with empathy,
let’s acknowledge the hands that clean our world,
and let’s ensure they are seen, heard, and respected.
Small actions. Big impact.
Every 8th. Every month.
PLEASE WATCH THE CLIP!!
And After watching the clip, please read below :
8th November - Honour the Unsung #Swachhagrahis!!
Every day, thousands of sanitation workers silently ensure:
✔️ Clean streets
✔️ Hygienic offices
✔️ Safe public washrooms
✔️ Functioning cities
Yet… most of us pass by them without even noticing.
This November 8th, I request you to:
✅ 1. Walk in their shoes
Take 5–10 minutes to clean any public space near you.
(Not because it’s dirty… but because it’s humbling.)
✅ 2. Show appreciation
A smile.
Learn their name.
Ask if they’re okay.
Say “Thank you.”
It matters more than we think.
✅ 3. Reflect
This small act will stay in your heart.
And the respect will stay in your behavior.
As we talk about a #ViksitBharat2047,
remember - true development begins with dignity.
Imagine a nation where sanitation workers are celebrated…
Where their children proudly say:
“My parent keeps our city healthy.”
Let November 8th be the beginning of that mindset.
If you read this far - thank you 🙏
Your willingness already makes a difference.
Let’s make them visible.
Let’s make them respected.
Let’s make them proud.
#Swachhagrahis
Now see, though I love cooking, I need a break too, for at least one meal in a week when suddenly it feels too damn boring.
