I meant he could mentor the mentors in his teens - an age he should be getting mentored. He was that good, and surprisingly mature. He was a finished product in his teens. Cristiano wasn't. He was just one of the many talents among rob

Messi can teach the ones who teach football. Not the best example. He was doing unbelievable things when he was a literal teenager. A surprisingly better example would be Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo was absolutley frustrating to watch in his

especially when there are too many such rule lists often contridicting with each other. Finding the right list becomes the key for someone (beginner to a domain) who has to follow the rules. That's just luck.

absolutely. "Indian secularism" is the exact opposite of secularism. It's just discrimination on the basis of religious identity.

This is just nonsense. Hindi has nothing to do with caste system. Hindi was promoted because of the need for a common language for a nation with 300+ official languages (not counting the dialects) - as it's the language that is most co
