cook for you. Few places put these two obsessions into focus as beautifully as the world of Facebook groups. I am in many food groups because I like good food and interesting recipes. The good part of food groups is that you learn about new restaurants or delivery outlets, their timings and menus, and often, group members share exciting recipes. But that's where it begins and ends. For some reason, most people in food groups write posts phonetically. It's like being in a kindergarten class, where you're trying to guess the word being spelt out. Usually, food groups are — yes — manned by men, who take their job seriously. I've seen them tick off hapless women who write down intricate recipes, but shockingly, have added pictures of the dish instead of one, as 'allowed' by admin.

Infosys’ emeritus chairman. Be that as it may, “birds” perched across trees in China have been tweeting a story that isn’t music to those in China who have been pushing the infamous “996” system for decades on end: working 9 am to 9 pm 6 days a week.

The effect is powerfully, even scarily, surrealistic.

populist budget is a fiscal plan tailored to resonate with the general public by offering immediate benefits or addressing popular concerns through measures like tax cuts, increased social spending, or subsidies. Examples include farm loan waivers, higher crop prices, and tax reductions above lower brackets. While «populist» isn't inherently negative, such budgets draw criticism for prioritizing short-term gains over long-term stability. They can lead to unsustainable fiscal policies, increasing deficits and national debt. Critics argue they're often crafted for political expediency, aimed at gaining votes rather than sound economic management. Promises made can be unrealistic, lacking clear funding mechanisms, posing future financial challenges. Financial markets may react adversely to perceived fiscal irresponsibility, raising government borrowing costs and undermining currency value. Inflation risks rise from measures like monetary expansion or subsidies, eroding purchasing power and economic stability. Benefits may disproportionately favor certain groups, deepening social and economic disparities.
