The term often implies either a lifelong socially monogamous relationship or a stage of mating interaction in socially monogamous species. It is sometimes used in reference to human relationships.

- Splash your closed eyes with fresh water immediately after swimming. This washes chlorine and other chemicals off your eyelids and eyelashes.
- Use over-the-counter lubricating eye drops before and after swimming to keep the tear film balanced and eyes comfortable.

- Viagra drugs
- Sildenafil - https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a699015.html
- This is the original Viagra
- Stimulation
- Doesnt work if your stomach is full or if you have drunk alcohol
- It requires time - 2-2.5 hrs to kick in
- Meant for older men - who are preplanning intercourse
- Younger folks are taking it for confidence, not ED
- Have after effects - headache, temporary color blindness
- Take only for recreational purpose - 12.5mg, taking it regularly will have major bad effects
- Tadalaphil - https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a604008.html
- Much safer than viagra
- Kicks in much early, can be eaten with food
- Still better to take 1.5hrs before the action, spend time in foreplay
- Other variations for younger generation (weekend viagra - for 3-4 days)
- Sildenafil - https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a699015.html
- Viagra does not mean erection, it helps but only if you have stimulation
- Kegel exercise - https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/14611-kegel-exercises
- Good for improving erection quality
- Masturbation is not a good habit
- We are the only species where we watch another human being get intercourse and we ejaculate to that

- No mention of masturbation in Kamasutra or any of our ancient texts
- Penis Massage is good, its differnt from masturbation
- Men are supposed to be polygamous
- We are living in a stupid world - a woke world
- Pressure of sex is on men
- Women demand their orgasms from men (that is the expectation). Both parties indulge to have sex, having resp. orgasm is their own responsibility, they should be aware of how they are stimulated
- Men feel they are going to be in a ring, going to be ranked and rated
- Last long?
- More foreplay
- More you are erect more you last long
- If you are having sex when you are 60% erect you are going to discharge faster

- Somewhere on the Internet -
It all starts with parents. Children who grow up in unreasonably strict environments grow up to fear teachers and see school and exams as punishments. They grow up to become timid, shy, reserved and scared teenagers. They continue the same attitude into adulthood and see their bosses as gods and do what they are told to do and never stand up for themselves. All these factors lead to failure in professional and personal lives of such individuals. I’m a prime example of this and the above is my own story. At 40, I am now becoming more assertive and am re-inventing myself in every aspect.
To all parents : PLEASE DO NOT FORCE YOUR CHILDREN TO DO ANYTHING AND STOP COMPARING YOUR KID WITH OTHER KIDS. - The Corporate Game
- 1 Ensure visibility and credit
- 2 Be in limelight
- 3 Compete wherever possible
- 4 Don’t be nice and simple, be deplomatic
- 5 Be close to your manager
- Everyone has equal time to spend. If someone is having a good time, you can too. Everyone, how rich or privileged, has same amount of time as you (assuming equal lifetime). You wasting any of that time on sulking or feeling sad/jealous is your loss of time - the other person is already having a good time, and you are deliberately losing (time).

- Brush twice a day - ideal
- Mouthwash such as Listerine contains alcohol, you can use once in a while, using daily is harmful for teeth
- Toothpaste contains flouride which helps in preventing tooth decay, you should let the flouride settle in your teeth for 10-15 min, so either brush your teeth for 10-15min or after brushing rinse your mouth with water after 10-15 min
- Update: We don’t do brushing for 10-15min, ideally it is 2min
- Expressway Vs Highway
- Expressway are access controlled - vehicles can move in or out via interchanges only. Highway are not access controlled - many different roads get connected to the highway, disturbing the flow of traffic on the highway

- Sadhguru on Ram and Sita
- He asks what kind of man do you want in your life? The man walked all the way, fought a battle, burned down a city to get back his wife
- Yes, he fought, waged a battle, but I don’t think it was purely for his wife, it was for himself too, for his pride. Raavan kidnapped Sita to hurt Ram, women in those ages (even today) were a prized possession.
- He put his duty towards his people before his duty towards his wife. If the counterargument is - he fought a battle to save his wife, so no ^
- That was the norm back then - a very cruel patriarchy society. He did best out of these norms. You judge by the norms of the society, say we lived in a world where you are praised for how many people you kill, a peaceful person would be a very bad example in the society. Society wants examples of characteristics they want to inculcate and history remembers people who are great examples.
- Currently our society is divided into extreme patriarchs (disguised under the name of religion) and extreme feminists.

- Kevin spoke with his early users as to what they like about burbn, why do they use it, they said its because of photo sharing. He built filters because his user told his photos are not that great. - Story of Instagram
- Reacting on Random videos - feminism
- World works on capitalism and not on values like equality - hence there is no equal pay. What brings in more money gets more money, eg: female models get higher paychecks than their male counterparts because fashion industry is more female oriented
- If you are conservative and traditional than most, and you have standards for your man, what is it that you have to offer? just yourself? isnt that being entitlement?
- Most guys are invisible to most woman, guys are socially weird because they dont get female attention. Guys dont get laid that often and hence they chase it more.

- Desexualisation of asian men in hollywood
- Asian men are sexual predators,
- Asian women are saved by white men from their own damnation, resulting in a category on porn websites
- Asian men are often nerds (no sex appeal) or caricatures or sexually unattractive
- To be sexy - be Bruce Lee - do action
- Crypto - a scam
- Visual storytelling spectacle, insanely good production and quality
- Bitcoin was meant to replace as a digital currency, but everyone purchases it as an investment. If you know that tomorrow the price will be higher than today, why will you sell? So it can never achieve its initial goal
- It’s a pyramid scam - the initial investors can only make money if more people are brought into the ecosystem which will result in increasing the price
- Everybody uses con

- Launched in 1948 in Mysore
- Interesting ‘Initial Sales’ - Lighted up agarbatti outside stores, the customers were attracted towards the fragrance and wanted to purchase
- 2nd generation came up with the idea of 3in1 agarbatti because people got bored out of same fragrance and therefore sales were irregular

- Supriya Sule (NCP leader) interview - Samdish
- ‘Power is not about control. Power is not a sense of entitlement, it’s a tool to serve’
- Samdish talks about Osho and Wild Wild West
- Wild Wild West was a documentary with criminal take on mroe complex person (thriller types), Osho’s spirituality philosophies and thoughts are never talked about. A very American take on the subject.

- Speculation is necessary
- Speculation is a good servant but a bad master. It cannot be eliminated but can be checked.
- Bubble triangle
- Based on fire triangle: “Given sufficient levels of these three components, a fire can be started by a simple spark. Once the fire has begun, it can then be extinguished by the removal of any one of the components.”
- Three components: Marketability (the oxygen), Money & credit (the fuel), Speculation (the heat)
- Spark: technological innovation and government policy
- From Indian context, new age trade platforms and pandemic initiated the speculation
