I second the feeling, but no hope whatsoever , feels like a bad dream..

Nightmare ☹️. Can’t imagine what she must be going through! And what transpired (truth if any, may not come out).

Is there any hope for Vinesh for a comeback, if at all? 💔💔

Is there any hope for Vinesh for a comeback, if at all? 💔💔- Grapevine

Her disqualification owing 100 gm overweight is pending for review in Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), seeking a joint silver medal.

Delay from Indian end
- The court observed that such a scenario where they want intervention, they should have immediately reached out to Olympics committee and requested postponing of the final bout. 
- Indian staff and IOA were quick to update condolences on Twitter, but didn't seek redressal. 
- It happened a day late, when final had already been fixed with the semifinalist who lost to Vinesh.
- The grievance seeked was not fight, but joint silver medal for Vinesh

Court's response
- The panel sympathises with Vinesh on human level
- They have ordered changes to be made to the weigh in rule, as they agreed 100gm could be water weight/bloating
- They also commented that rules cannot be changed, but will consider if provisions allow
- The appeal was made on 8 Aug 2024 (after the final happened), case was to be heard on 9 Aug. They deferred the verdict to 11 Aug (closing day of Olympics), again deferred to 13 Aug 6 pm (today) and now stretched to 16 Aug.
- There has been too much media attention on the case, they cannot go wrong here.

Look at the below video
In the end it looked like susaki was not even trying. I can be very wrong, so correct me if I am. What exactly happened here?

Heartbreak for me personally as I was (and still am) super proud of what she had achieved provided the treatment that she got during the wrestler’s protest.

A conspiracy maybe?

Do you also think the government might be involved in this?

A year of protest against the federation chief.
Slept on pavements for 40 days.
Was beaten, dragged by the police.
Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga. 
Underwent knee surgery.
Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process. 
Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics. 

I hope she wins 🥇 and that would a tight slap in the ruling govt, news channels and all the bhakts who said these wrestlers were doing drama. 

What’s more interesting is to see how the PM calls her to congratulate after not having ever spoken on the protest.

Rooting for Vinesh to Win Gold 🥇 🤞

How can the wrestler not be aware of the high weight ?
What diet does she take after her semifinal?
Did her coach take any precautions? Or is he aware?
So many questions......

Vinesh Phogat to Contest Haryana Elections on Congress Ticket?

Journalist

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hii everyone. Thank you for giving your precious time to read my problem. 
I done my  BCA from IGNOU but due to high financial crises in my life my bachelor gets completed in six years. Because of this financial crises during COVID years I was unable to pay my fees.  I am a single bread earner in my family. 
What can I do now?
I don't know how to get a job  in mnc' companies.
What skills should I need to focus on to get a job in tech mnc. 
Please someone guide me.
 I feel like this is the end of my career.

Is there any chance?

Received a gift for reaching 10k grapes 🍇  from Grapevine today.

I joined 9 months ago in Feb’23 and honestly? it was all about the friends we made along the way.

Thank you Grapevine! for the AirPods + Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, but more importantly for being a torchbearer of deep conversations celebrating Indian professionals.

Thank You Grapevine! 🟠

Notwithstanding a few things that are going well for the country… 

— High GDP growth rate for a developing country 
— Low median age a.k.a _potential_ demographic dividend
— A stable government 

To me, it seems like we are on a fast path to devastation. Each of the points mentioned above have a counter point but other than that 

— Very high income inequality [1]
— Absolutely shitty education system. [2] and health system [3]
— Increasing oligarchy [Adani in every fucking industry]
— Reducing Labour force participation + no jobs (both government and private) = unemployment
— People fighting day in - day out on religion, caste, region. On who wears what. Who eats what. Who goes where. Whatever they can find to fight for. 

There is absolutely ZERO hope for a large part of this country. You either need generational wealth, insane amount of talent or political connections to be moderately successful. 

It feels just 10 more years of this shit would make this country a massive powder keg waiting to just light up!  

Does anyone see hope?

Hi all, I recently received an offer from a startup. They have included esops in that but the strike price will be the current price. Is that a common practice? I though the esops granted have a strike price of 0 or very close to that. 

If i take them at current price then I only make money from the next upwards valuation only.

Need your advice Viners!

Esops strike price?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

It has been a while since I did a thread, so busy with work nowadays. 

My answer would be Grapevine. Never experienced something like Grapevine in a really long time. Especially, considering that it has only been their first year. 

What is your answer?

Vinesh Phogat takes down the World no. 1 and Tokyo Olympic gold medallist

Help me figure this out because up till now it seems like all my decisions were wrong.

New job, new city, fresher.
Found a single occupancy in a pre occupied 2BHK in my budget, and as per my preferences. Had to shift in the middle of the month. Since the room I am supposed to get is occupied by someone else(X), the landlord suggested that I adjust in the hall area for the half month and then I would shift to the room from October. 
I was okay with this, and under the impression that X is also okay with this arrangement. Mind that X is not present in the flat, X has been away since a month. The other two flatmates (Y, Z) in the other room are also okay with this. 
I have given deposit of 20k to the landlord. 
Now X comes back today, starts a fight with me straightaway, starts throwing my things. X says that the hall is common space and since X is paying rent I cannot be there, X only wants their friend to take that room, and a million other things. X is the most problematic person I've ever come across. Bhagwaan jane kaun isse shadi karega. Y, Z back me up. We speak to the landlord and he scolds X. 
Now although X has verbally agreed to moving out at the end of the month, what if X refuses to move out? Mera toh agreement bhi nahi bana hai.. 
I should prolly start looking for flats 😵

Decision analyst

I never thought Virat would struggle in a T20 World Cup after dominating in every T20 World Cup he played, winning player of the tournament in two of them, especially after having a good IPL this year.
It hurts 😭😭 It hurts to see him slog at every ball and get out. I can't see the G.O.A.T end his t20 career like this. Hope he does well in the semifinal and final 🤞

Is there any hope for Vinesh for a comeback, if at all? 💔💔
