How Yogi Fixed an Islamic Conspiracy to Destabilise Bharat | Congress - Tejaswi | Anupam Mishra

The FIDE Grand Swiss always seems to deliver drama, and this year's edition was no exception. To help break it all down, I am joined by popular commentator, Chessable author, and host of the Power Play Chess YouTube channel, GM Daniel King. In our conversation, Daniel shares his takeaways on: • The common thread that fueled the successes of GMs Anish Giri and Matthias Blübaum • Standout performances from young stars like GMs Erdogmus, Mishra, and Woodward • Why the Women's Grand Swiss produced fewer surprise qualifiers • A look ahead to the FIDE World Cup and the fight for the remaining Candidates spots We also touch on tournament formats, opening preparation, and Daniel's current projects. This was a fascinating event to follow and an equally fun one to recap with GM King. Thanks to our sponsors, Silver Knights Chess Academy.

Mystery of Vice President Elections | Cross Voting | Rahul Gandhi को गुस्सा क्यूँ आया | Anupam Mishra

The music industry is reeling due to what's being called the 'largest intellectual property theft in history' — we'll dig into the fight between Big Tech and the people who make the music. Meanwhile, Sweden's new cultural canon has people fuming — not least because it leaves out ABBA. We'll also hear from Der Spiegel's Gunter Latsch about his chilling investigation into the shadowy world of organ trafficking. And we'll finish, as always, with something a little lighter: archaeologists in Denmark have been uncovering a kind of Stone Age Atlantis beneath the sea and they've been using a funky underwater vacuum to do so.

Trump Impact on Modi/India Image | Gandhi Parivar Exit from Congress | Supreme Court | Anupam Mishra

In this episode, I read from Pankaj Mishra's Bland Fanatics, a searing critique of liberalism and its reception beyond the West. Mishra explores how, across much of the Global South, liberalism is not the triumphant, self-evident good it is often assumed to be in Euro-American discourse, but instead a system bound up with histories of empire, inequality, and cultural dislocation. Through his lens, we examine why the liberal ideal — so celebrated in Western political thought — can appear hollow, or even complicit, when viewed from societies still shaped by colonialism and its aftermath.Newsflash: You can find everything Explaining History on Substack, join free hereHelp the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, actor Roy opens up about his journey through mental and physical wellbeing, fatherhood, and personal growth. The conversation begins with Roy's early inspirations for living a healthy life, shaped significantly by the loss of his father at a young age—a moment that sparked a lifelong commitment to health and awareness. He candidly shares how his experiences with grief, emotional vulnerability, and meditation have shaped his perspective on life, masculinity, and the importance of mental health conversations, especially for men. As a father, Roy talks about how raising his daughter has not only influenced his career choices but also transformed the way he approaches life. The episode explores how modern parenting requires balancing emotional presence with teaching independence and logic, navigating generational differences, and redefining traditional norms of masculinity—both in real life and Indian cinema. Roy also reflects on the power of male friendships, daily lifestyle habits, and how he deals with success and failure through mindfulness and self-awareness. Whether you're a parent, someone working on personal growth, or simply navigating the complexities of health and identity, this conversation will leave you inspired, grounded, and introspective.CHAPTERS:00:00 Promo01:43 Introduction02:20 Childhood Influences and Early Realisations03:49 The Impact of Father's Death08:03 Mental Health Awareness15:03 Fatherhood and Parenting Philosophy19:51 Professional Choices Influenced by Fatherhood25:01 Portrayal of Masculinity in Indian Cinema35:46 Parenting Challenges and Changes36:37 Generation Gap and Parenting36:59 Logical Thinking in Kids38:14 The Importance of Treating Kids as Adults38:42 Personal Anecdotes on Parenting39:53 Navigating Teenage Years40:32 The Role of Fathers43:05 The Importance of Male Friendships52:38 The Benefits of Routine and Meditation01:01:34 Dealing with Failures01:07:52 Final Thoughts and Advice

⚡️SHOCKWAVE BEATS BACK PAIN PODCAST | DARE TO BE VITAL BOOKFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of this WEEK's PODCASTOptimism is Neurologically Attractive and ContagiousOptimism doesn't just feel good—it rewires your brain. New neuroscience research shows optimists share synchronized brain activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, enhancing emotional clarity and resilience. Optimism is also perceived as more attractive, expands social networks, and increases perceived support.✅ Action: Rate your current optimism on a 0–10 scale and actively recall vivid positive events to build emotional clarity and future-focused optimism.2. Exercise Acts as Anti-Cancer MedicineYour muscles are your medicine cabinet. A 2025 study showed that just one session of resistance or high-intensity interval training reduced breast cancer cell growth by up to 30% in survivors. Why? Because exercise stimulates myokines like IL-6 and SPARC that suppress tumor growth.✅ Action: Track your caloric intake honestly using a mobile app. Understand your personal “maintenance” number—and adjust with discipline.3. Obesity Dramatically Accelerates Biological AgingBeing overweight isn't just a cosmetic issue—it's a time bomb. A study on young adults found that long-term obesity increased biological age by up to 48%, with elevated inflammation, insulin resistance, and telomere shortening.✅ Action: Track your caloric intake honestly using a mobile app. Understand your personal “maintenance” number—and adjust with discipline.4.

Use it to build grit and momentum.5. Vitality Is Earned—Not InheritedTo be your most vital self, you must take ownership. The podcast tied together optimism, movement, nutrition, and discipline as core pillars of vitality.

On The Digital Executive podcast, Ani Mishra shares his insights as a seasoned software engineering leader at DoorDash, where he oversees the logistics systems powering grocery, retail, convenience, and alcohol delivery. Mishra emphasizes the importance of solving a single customer problem deeply and effectively before generalizing the solution for other verticals, ensuring both speed and scalability. He explains that high-performing teams thrive when they are built with top talent, are given autonomy, and have clear focus areas—along with a shared sense of ownership for the reliability of their systems. His leadership approach is grounded in understanding each team member's motivation, fostering inclusive culture, and always planning ahead to align talent with future problems.Drawing on his early startup experience at Phoenix and Mobify, Mishra reflects on the hands-on, all-hats nature of startup life, which taught him to build products from the ground up, scale them, and lead with empathy. Looking forward, he is most excited about how large language models (LLMs) are transforming logistics. From improving item discovery and route optimization in stores to enhancing customer experience and delivery safety, LLMs are enabling more intelligent and responsive systems. While AI has long played a role in logistics, Ani believes LLMs will accelerate innovation—from real-time decision-making to autonomous vehicles—making deliveries faster, safer, and more precise in the years ahead.Join thousands of curious minds and never miss a beat – Subscribe to our Newsletter for exclusive insights, episode highlights, and expert takeaways delivered straight to your inbox.

MOVE NOW to Fight Cancer Podcast / DARE TO BE VITAL BOOKFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of this Week's Podcast* Stop injecting cortisone for knee or elbow pain.A newly published MRI study of 210 patients showed that even one cortisone shot accelerated knee-osteoarthritis progression and carried risks such as bone-marrow lesions and rapid joint destruction. Dr. Mishra argues that “doing nothing” is safer than cortisone and recommends a “better biologics flywheel” of weight control, muscle building, and vitamin D optimization instead.* Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a promising muscle- and bone-builder.A meta-analysis of 21 randomized trials (~750 healthy women) found WBV platforms significantly improved lower-body strength and femoral bone density; benefits were greatest with >12 weeks of training at frequencies above 30 Hz, and in post-menopausal women.* Musculoskeletal health underpins long-term vitality.Losing mobility cascades into weight gain, cardiovascular decline, and even cognitive slowdown. Dr. Mishra positions whole-body vibration, strength training, and biologic approaches (muscle, bone, vitamin D) as an “all-in strategy” to safeguard movement capacity and overall life performance.* Interacting with dogs measurably boosts brain health and mood.An EEG study of 30 adults showed activities like playing, grooming, and walking a dog lowered stress markers and heightened relaxation, attention, and creativity, branding dogs as “verified vitality enhancers.”* Weekly action plan—do the right thing because it is right.Inspired by Kant's dictum, the episode's practical call-outs are: skip cortisone, build muscle via whole body vibration and spend time with a dog to spark calm and creativity. Implementing even one of these evidence-based steps moves you toward Dr. Mishra's goal of optimizing vitality and performance “one person at a time.” This is a public episode.

Vitality Biomarker Podcast || Dare To Be Vital BookFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST* Vitamin D Acts Like a DNA Aging ShieldA four-year randomized trial of 1,000+ adults showed that 2,000 IU of vitamin D₃ daily preserved telomere length—the “plastic tips” on DNA—by the equivalent of three years of aging, while omega-3s and placebo had no effect.* Purpose-Powered PerformanceTo outperform mere biomarkers, cultivate four intangibles: Purpose, Discipline, Intuition, and Composure. Pinpointing a purpose in 8 words or less sharpens decision making ability. Disciplined consistency “crushes complexity”. Intuition becomes a like trained radar and composure helps survive chaos.* SEAL wisdom: Captain Chaby's Top 4 intangibles & the 20-ft wave testFormer SEAL Team 5 commander Captain Tom Chaby counters with Mindset, Discipline, Resilience, and Leadership, forged by drills like swimming through 20 foot surf—an exercise in re-labeling “threats” as challenges and embracing the suck .* 5-Step Pressure Playbook * Disciplined thinking—control the controllables;* Go automatic—turn basics into habits to free bandwidth;* Deliberately set a challenge mindset with three self-checks (know what's required, capable, motivated) ;* Process over outcome—focus on the next right action ;* Stay neutral—good or bad, keep emotions level .* Fusion of Metrics and MindsetsThe episode closes with Mishra coaching Chaby on pre-surgery “vitality pre-hab,” illustrating how tangible levers (vitamin D, sleep, strength) and intangible skills work together to “be so good they can't ignore you.” This is a public episode.

After breaking a two-month ceasefire, Israel launched an assault on Gaza on Tuesday, killing more than 400 people in pre-dawn strikes. The death toll continues to climb as airstrikes persist, and Israel pushes forward with a ground invasion. At least 200 children have been killed in recent attacks, according to UNICEF. The assault — the deadliest in over a year — came after Donald Trump gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the green light to break the ceasefire. Netanyahu has warned, “This is only the beginning.” Author Pankaj Mishra argues Israel operates within a “culture of impunity,” emboldened by global far-right movements that admire Israel's “brazen cruelty.”This week on The Intercept Briefing, reporter Jonah Valdez speaks to Mishra about his latest book, "The World After Gaza,” which examines how the war on Gaza isn't just another conflict — it's a turning point reshaping global politics, exposing institutional failures, and forcing a reckoning over who sets the rules on the world stage.“Some of the worst people in the world today are drawn to Israel," Mishra says. “Not because they believe in Zionism, not because they are protective of Jewish population of Israel, but because Israel again represents to them — embodies this opportunity to take whatever you can and hold on to it using extreme violence if necessary.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
