![]() ![]() So you have Rameez Raja referring to sense as buddhi and strength as shakti Kapil Dev preferring zehen over mann for the mind, describing a top-drawer stroke as aalaa and an assured one as having been played itminaan se. In each case, one member of the pair is, to his mind, speaking Hindi while the other is speaking Urdu yet their vocabulary tends to merge. To what extent Hindi and Urdu are separate languages is a matter of academic debate but to be reminded that there once existed a syncretic Hindustani, you need only listen to Navjot Sidhu on air with Rameez Raja, or Kapil Dev with Wasim Akram. Where once a high-flown, officious-sounding vocabulary was pressed into service to describe the ebbs and flows of the game, we now have an all-embracing hodgepodge of colloquial and Sanskritised Hindi, Urdu, and, frequently, English. What the Indo-Pak team of broadcasters has to offer is markedly different from the Hindi commentary we’ve been used to over the years. Yet one substantial addition to the world of Indian cricket has gone unremarked, if not quite unnoticed: the new-age Hindi commentary on Star Sports. ![]() ![]() As the Indian team’s fortunes have first dipped and then soared in the home Test series against England and Australia, India’s younger generation-Pujara, Vijay, Jadeja, Ashwin-has received praise from all quarters. ![]()

If you’re thinking bigger will make the UI worse, it doesn’t. The UI will remind you of the early smartphones with magnified icons and controls on the screen.

That’s the first thing you see as soon as you unlock the phone is a minimal interface. Indistractable Launcher takes inspiration from the LightPhone.

Enter Minimal launchers, they change the way you view your phone, revamp your UI, and control your on-screen time. Now, one way to get rid of this smartphone addiction is to buy feature phones, but what if I tell you, you can also use third-party app launchers to get similar results.

Phubbing (phone snubbing) is when your partner spends more time on their phone in your presence. ![]() ![]() ![]() My advice: If you like one or all three of the above, go back to Colour of Magic and read in publication order. These are the three most common starting suggestions I've seen. That being said, his ideas and writing evolved as he went, so my advice is publication order, although I'd recommend starting with one of the three books below (or all three) to see if you like Discworld first: ![]() They are a bit silly (more Douglas Adams, perhaps) than his later works. Sir Terry himself didn't recommend starting with the first couple of books. The purpose for saying it's frequently asked is that you can peruse the subreddit for past instances to see more opinions if few post in this one. This is a frequently asked question, but it's always welcome to ask again. I'm pasting my standard on this because it has informatoin that's relevant, in particular "There's almost no wrong way to read the books". ![]() ![]() ![]() Henry also appears to be using the setting to highlight Della’s mood. ![]() How frustrated Della may be is also noticeable by the fact that she wants to (and does) ‘flop down on the shabby little couch and howl.’ By counting the money on several occasions it is as if Della is hoping that she has more than she actually has. It also suggests that Della is frustrated, something that becomes clearer to the reader later on in the story. It may also be a case that by having Della count the money three times Henry is further emphasizing the levels of poverty that exist for Della and Jim. Something that is a little clearer to the reader when we discover that it has taken Della several months to save the money. The fact that the majority of the $1.87 is made up of pennies also suggests that things may not change financially for Della or Jim. By telling the reader exactly how much money Della has ($1.87) Henry may be placing an emphasis on the levels of poverty that exist in Della and Jim’s life. Set in New York at the turn of the twentieth century the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and from the beginning of the story the reader realises that Henry may be exploring the theme of poverty or hardship. Henry we have the theme of poverty, frustration, connection, struggle, love, sacrifice, anxiety and commitment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Incidentally, practice of meditation affects deeply our character. The ultimate purpose is to reach the source of life and consciousness. The primary purpose of meditation is to become conscious of, and familiar with, our inner life. But of our inner world of thoughts and feelings we know very little. Maharaj: We know the outer world of sensations and actions. ![]() Question: All teachers advise to meditate. And then, whatever doubts you have, will be cleared by that very knowledge, and everything will be opened up in you. In that identity, you must stabilize yourself. And the indwelling knowledge that you are, without words, that itself you are. So you have to give up both these identities. Similarly, since you have seen your body, you think you are the body. ![]() The name which is imposed on you, or the name which you have heard about you-you have accepted that name as yourself. And also, the name which is given to you or to the body is not your correct identity. You must dwell only in that knowledge "I am"-not merely the words "I am." The design of your body does not signify your identification. Maharaj: For meditation you should sit with identification with the knowledge "I am" only and have confirmed to yourself that you are not the body. ![]() ![]() ![]() Madame Webb is currently set to hit theaters on October 6th, 2023, and will be directed by S.J. Webb was blind and had psychic abilities and clairvoyance that allowed her to watch over the Spider-Verse and was a key part of the original comic event. The original character in the comics was known as Cassandra Webb, who confided to a spider-web-shaped life support machine. Madame Webb will be the franchise’s first female protagonist and one of the next entries in the Sony universe of Marvel characters, set to release following Kraven The Hunter in 2023. It’s speculated that the lead, Dakota Johnson, could be playing the role of Julia Carpenter, the second Madame Webb, after being spotted on set sporting a very familiar red leather jacket.
