Much is being said about latest poll showing Biden losing support amongst 18-35 group of his handling of Israel Palestine war about how it’s not realistic. Actually it very well is - democrats need to shut up and take notice. I am over 40 and I fucking hate how Biden is essentially supporting a terrorist government. Had it not been for Trump or lunatics on other side he would lost my support too for his handling!

I honestly have run out of empathy for this Indian team now. This Indian team has been a powerhouse team for better part of last decade, but time after time India has managed to choke at the last hurdle. At this point this is not a one event thing, but a repeated pattern of doing great only to crash in the one final game that matters. Sure great show and all, but you have to ask questions what’s ailing this team. A high caliber team like this cannot be losing one championship after another like this regularly. It’s just disappointing, but honestly not feeling the empathy for this Indian team right now.

This is not even the best Australian side there is when compared to absolute powerhouse India is, but their mental game when it really matters is just way way above anyone else. You never underestimate Australia. Unless there is a collapse from here on, congrats Australia on a well deserved yet another World Cup.

I think there’s a problem affecting Indian side that they just don’t seem to have mental game to pull through high pressure final games. They truly have become the new chokers in world cricket where they do so well in buildup only to fail in final.

The body language of Indians is very telling right now. It’s like in their minds they have already lost the match and it’s showing in their bowling. Dew won’t help.

Oh wow this half time show is bad. Like bad as in somwar peth Ganesh pandal music bad. Wtf.

I wouldn’t have minded another hour of sleep. Too bad I woke up at 5 lol. I guess it all comes down to few and bowling.

At this point I am sure several folks in the Indian team feel this is their best chance to win a World Cup so they need to give their best shot. I can’t see a team full of such superstars 4 years from now. All the more reason why Australia is just choking India right now and playing well.

I think everyone’s assessment that has India peaked too early has come true. We are building a reputation of choking in finals aren’t we? Australia dominating this game completely!

My kid is reading two books at same time - Kaikeyi and To all the boys I’ve loved before. I don’t even want to know how she is context switching right now.

It’s cute how all this big companies have “paused” their advertising on Twitter coz of latest Musk drama. Why pause? If you have the guts just come out, condemn him and stop advertising no? What’s all this nonsense about “pause”. Basically means once the controversy tides over they will be back again.

I didnt realize how MUCH of a difference grout makes to backsplash until i saw the grout applied to backsplash. The difference in the look was just night and day. Its absolutely stunning how different the same backsplash looks with grout and no grout. Pictures to come later!

Aspirants season 2 on Amazon Prime was as good as it was in first season. While it can get a bit repetitive and it showcases the whole UPSC/IAS life in somewhat idealistic way, it still makes for very terrific TV with great performances and writing. The best part about the series is how well contained each season is with only 5-6 episodes, which provide plenty of time to move the story. Looking forward to season 3!

Except Pakistan I don’t think any country had any specific advantage of playing in India this world cup to be honest. Sure, India has home field advantage but a majority of the international players in world cup play in IPL matches every year, so they must know the Indian conditions in and out by now. There is not much that to me stands out that gives India such a upper hand in this world cup. All this to say, which is why India’s domination in this world cup (SO FAR) has been unlike something most of us desis are used to.

I bought a “discontinued” product from a website last night. Today that item is out of stock while my order has already shipped. Now I am bummed that I probably got the last one on the shelf and I dont know if I am getting a lemon!

I always hate it when Australia start peaking in cricket at the right time because in peak Australia is never welcome in cricket World Cup.

I am cheering for New Zealand at this point. They deserve to win this run chase. Also should be a lesson to India and Kohli that they could have had 20-30 runs more had they not stopped for his record.

It will take a lot of effort for New Zealand to LOSE now. Wow, who would’ve thought NZ would give India such a push in the semi-final!

New Zealand playing impressively so far. I’d love for India to win but i wont complain if New Zealand sneak this one out. They are always such a joy to watch!
