BC TATTOO
Saved by @floyd_ndlovu

The baby mamma and the words. I loved this person regardless of what she put me through and this is the kind of emotional abuse I had to endure. When I say I'm not okay, I mean it

 I'm the bread winner, I pay for everything. I made sure she has a social life by staying home with our daughter and she brought men into our lives, married men included
When I'm good and ready, I'll try answering each of you. I'm not okay right now. I need to be in the right state of mind when I answer your questions and accusations
I was gonna take my time and try to answer everyone of you but I can see there's a lot of formed opinion on who she is, on what happened, what I did to trigger her. In so saying I'm going to take a step back and say a few things that might bring light to the situation
1.We have been dating for 6 years
2. When I met her she didn't have tattoos
3. There are certain things that happened to her before we met that I can't mention.
4. She wasn't always this person
5. To all those who said I'm toxic, yes you're right I am, abuse does that to you
I'm no Saint and won't pretend I am, those who asked if I cheated, the answer is no. I work nightshift 7 in 7 out. When I'm off I spend my time with our daughter. Are we together?
So basically her behavior started changing when she made certain friends 3 years ago, I picked up on it and addressed my dissatisfaction with the friends because I saw what It did to our relationship. A clue, women who had sides and sugar daddies.
Fast forward to yesterday after constant fights, arguments, loneliness, begging to be loved and trying everything I can to make this relationship that includes going for counseling
So we weren't informed by the creche gore they don't apply for grade 1 school going kids thus we missed the application period. Cool, we waited for late application and did that. Yesterday I went to enquire at a school nearby as to how we can get space, we were told visit the
. district office in Mabopane, they might help. I informed her of all these and I was told "my plans are more important than your plans", the plans were gym by the way. Gym came before our daughter's future. I had my car booked in for a long term problem today at Audi Acardia
When she called, I didn't pick up because I was talking to the dealer principal about the issue, so
This was followed by me being labeled a bad father because I honored my appointment at the dealership when we should have went to the district offices yesterday but "My plans are more important than yours"
Those who asked why I cropped the conversation, it's because I'd rather not show what other vile things she said to me. Even when she was that person, I protected her and yes I didn't today because sometimes you have to rip bandaid and hope someone will come to your aid
Like I said, I'm not a Saint but the common question was did you cheat, no I didn't. What I did was ask to be loved, ask that we be happy, ask that she speak to me the way she does to other people. Get off her phone and spend time with me. I was asking for too much

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"

SRI THIRUNARAYANA PERUMAL, MELKOTE (KAR)

Known as Dakshin Badri, Thiru Narayanapuram is one of the four famous Swayambu Kshetrams, the other three being Srirangam, Kanchipuram and Tirupati.
The presiding diety is Cheluva Narayana Swamy/ Selva Pillai/ Rama Priyan.


Once, Sri Rama gave his aradhana murthi of Sri Ranganatha, to Raja Vibhishana on his request. So he was left without a murthi for his daily pujas. Brahma is said to have provided the murti of Selva Pillai to Rama who later passed this on to his sons, Lava and Kusa.


When Kusa’s daughter married a Yadava prince, this murthi moved to the lunar dynasty from solar.

It is said that the utsav murthi got the name Selva Pillai due to Sri Ramanuja.
Once, a Sultan took away this murthi and Sri Ramanuja went in its search to the Sultan’s palace.

Story of Thumba Poo and Shiva

Thumba poo is a tiny white flower which grows in all areas. These flowers are used for treatment for sinus. Small children who have polyps in Nose are told to crush tumbha leaves and apply in nose part.
There is an interesting story of Thumba and


Mahadeva. Thumba flowers were not taken for Shiva Pooja. Saddened to this Thumba prayed sincerely and Mahadeva appeared before her.
She was surprised that Shiva had appeared before her. Instead of saying that she wants to under his feet always, she said
@SriramKannan77


She said that her feet should be on his head. Shiva accepted her prayers. It is because of this Thumba flower is placed in the head of Shiva Linga.

Published a new essay: The red flags and magic numbers that investors look for in your startup’s metrics – 80 slide deck included!


This was a deck that I created on my (longish) interview process with @a16z. It was a long path, starting with meeting folks at the firm 10 years ago. But the purpose of the deck was to explain how I would use my superpower in an investing context

Here's what I explain in the deck. As investors (whether angel or VC) we're often confronted with an up-and-to-the-right graph. Is it going to go up? Or down?


One solution to forecast these growth curves is the Growth Accounting Framework, where you add up New+Reactivated and subtract churned users. In each time period that gives you the difference in monthly actives.


The problem with this is that it's a lagging metric, not a leading one. We need to go one level deeper and look at the underlying loops that drive these numbers, to understand the quality.

1/People I know on the Right tend to be obsessed with the idea of "crimethink", taboos, and the (supposedly) oppressive, omnipresent enforcement of liberal cultural norms.

Why?

My new theory: A lot of it is guilt.

2/It's true that in some circles - the media, universities, many big corporations - liberal norms *are* enforced to some degree, and the enforcement has probably gotten stronger in recent years.

But I don't think this explains all of the Right's obsession.

3/The stereotype is that people on the Right tend to be more threat-sensitive. That would help explain the perception that liberal norm-enforcers are lurking everywhere, ready to pounce and anathematize anyone who makes a misstep.

But I don't think that's all of it either.

4/And of course, it's always fun - whether you're on the Right or the Left, or playing a video game, or whatever - to style yourself as the brave iconoclastic rebel fighting against the oppressive forces of blah blah blah.

But I don't think this is all of it, either.

5/The reason I think it's more than these things is that even *in private*, people on the Right express their "crimethink" ideas very gingerly and hesitantly.

I get the sense that they're not just afraid of external censure, but have also internalized liberal norms.
