The quote suggets a simple truth about human nature. People often say they welcome criticism, but in reality, they rarely enjoy it. When someone gives criticism, they may pretend it is helpful, yet it often carries a tone of judgement or superiority. On the other side, the person receiving it may claim to be open-minded, but inside, they feel hurt, defensive, or uncomfortable. Also read: 10 popular quotes by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on happiness and life  Narayan highlights the gap between what people say and what they truly feel. Criticism is rarely neutral. It is coloured by emotions, pride, and personal bias. Even when intentions are good, it can still feel like an attack. Likewise, those who ask for feedback may only want praise or gentle approval, not honest faults. In short, the quote reveals that criticism is not as simple or honest as it appears. It is a social act filled with hidden feelings and contradictions.

How is it relevant today?

  • People may ask for honest feedback, but it’s rarely taken positively
  • Social media often makes harsh criticism, many a time without checking facts
  • Workplaces encourages feedback, but employees feel uneasy to give or receive anything negative.
  • Personal relationships suffer when criticism is taken personally
  • Many confuse criticism with negativity rather than growth

Lessons from the quote

  • Be honest about your feelings towards criticism
  • Understand that criticism can hurt, even if it is useful
  • Avoid pretending to welcome feedback if you are not ready
  • Give criticism with care, not ego
  • Accept that human reactions are natural, not perfect

Tips to follow the quote

  • Listen to criticism calmly before reacting
  • Focus on the message, not the tone
  • When giving feedback, be kind and clear
  • Ask for specific advice rather than general criticism
  • Reflect before responding, instead of reacting instantly
  • Practise humility, both in giving and receiving feedback

Can these short-term profits be set off against my short-term or long-term capital losses of the previous year arising from equity investments? Expert's Advice: According to the scheme of taxation, capital gains are divided into two categories — long-term capital gains (LTCGs) and short-term capital gains — depending on the holding period of the asset and nature of the capital asset. For example, profits on sale or transfer of listed securities and equity oriented schemes are taxed as LTCGS if the they are sold or transferred after one year or more. For other assets, it becomes long term after two years. The profits on redemption or sale of debt funds purchased after March 31, 2023 will be taxed as STCG, irrespective of the holding period. Since silver ETF are listed on stock exchanges, the profits would become long term after being held for 12 months or more. As far as setting off of loss under the capital gains head is concerned, the law provides that short-term capital loss can be set off against both short and long-term capital gains, whereas long-term capital loss can only be set off against long-term capital gains. So, only the short-term capital loss of equity investments can be set off against short-term capital gains on silver ETF and the long-term loss on equity investment can only be set off against long-term capital gains earned on any capital asset during the year. In case there are no long-term capital gains available for set off during the year, the same will have to be carried forward for eight subsequent years for set off against long-term capital gains only. If the short-term capital loss for the year cannot be fully set off against available short-term capital/long-term gains for the year, the same also will have to be carried forward and set off  against short and long-term capital gains of eight subsequent years.

— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) April 21, 2026 District health officials have been placed on high alert, and a detailed probe has been initiated to determine the exact cause of the contamination. Food samples from the wedding have been collected and sent for laboratory analysis. Authorities are also examining the hygiene standards followed during the preparation and serving of food at the event. According to TOI, preliminary findings suggest that the illness may have been caused by contaminated or improperly stored food, although officials said confirmation will only come after test results are available. The incident comes amid rising concerns over food safety at large gatherings, especially during the summer months when high temperatures increase the risk of bacterial growth. Officials have advised residents to remain cautious while attending large events and emphasised the importance of proper food handling, storage, and hygiene practices.

His argument focuses on whether AI will continue the historical pattern of creating new jobs after eliminating old ones. What Hinton says about past technological shifts Historically, technological revolutions have replaced certain types of work while creating new opportunities. Agricultural machinery reduced farm labour but led to factory and office jobs. Industrial and digital transformations followed a similar pattern, shifting human effort rather than eliminating it entirely. This cycle ensured that while jobs disappeared, new categories of employment emerged, allowing economies to adapt over time. Why AI could be different Hinton’s argument suggests AI may break this pattern. Unlike earlier tools that replaced specific types of labour, AI has the potential to perform a wide range of cognitive and creative tasks. This means that as people retrain for new roles, AI could also take over those roles. The concern is not just job loss in a single sector, but a cascading effect where multiple career paths become vulnerable simultaneously. From customer support to coding, and even fields like law or writing, AI systems are increasingly capable of handling tasks that were once considered uniquely human. Impact on jobs and hiring trends Estimates cited in the discussion suggest a large portion of jobs could be exposed to AI automation. Early signals are already visible, with hiring in certain entry-level roles declining and job openings reducing in areas heavily influenced by AI tools. These trends point to a shift in how companies approach workforce planning, with automation becoming a central factor. What comes next for human work Hinton frames the issue as a broader question about human purpose. Previous breakthroughs removed limitations such as physical labour or distance, but AI targets cognitive ability itself. If intelligence-based work is automated, the next phase of economic and social evolution remains uncertain. The key concern is whether new forms of meaningful work will emerge, or if society will need to rethink how value, productivity, and employment are defined.]]> Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 08:22 AM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2025/06/20250617061824_jhudiuegdu.jpg Geoffrey Hinton, ‘godfather of AI’, warns about job losses; says ‘AI may not leave a new door open for humans’ https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/kirpans-drawn-shots-fired-11-injured-in-violent-clash-inside-germany-gurdwara-article-13894682.html Kirpans drawn, shots fired: 11 injured in violent clash inside Germany gurdwara https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/kirpans-drawn-shots-fired-11-injured-in-violent-clash-inside-germany-gurdwara-article-13894682.html

🤯🇩🇪 Shocking scenes from Gurdwara Duisburg, Germany:

Sikhs fighting inside sacred space, turbans flying, kirpans drawn on each other over Golak money, and a forced takeover by the previous management, who lost the election. This violence isn't random. It's the direct result of… pic.twitter.com/47h4lni6w1 — Allen Hampton (@Hamp_Allen) April 20, 2026 German newspaper Bild reported that around 40 people were involved, leading authorities to deploy nearly 100 officers, including a Special Task Force (SEK) unit from Düsseldorf. Police also used a helicopter for aerial monitoring as they secured the area following reports of gunfire. The confrontation reportedly began on Sunday afternoon and escalated rapidly. A 56-year-old eyewitness told Bild, "shortly before the prayer service, attackers used pepper spray, then one fired a pistol. I also saw knives." Initial findings suggest the violence may be linked to internal disputes over the gurdwara’s management and finances, including disagreements related to the election of a new board and control over community funds. However, authorities have not confirmed a definitive cause. Describing the broader tensions, the same eyewitness said, "The background is a dispute between former committee members and the current ones. It also involves money belonging to the community. There have been problems and trouble for quite some time. But mainly it’s about influence and who has the say here in the temple." Eyewitness accounts cited by Neue Ruhr Zeitung (NRZ) described panic among worshippers as the violence unfolded. "Several people ran out of the building, some of them barefoot," one witness said. Emergency responders treated the injured at the scene, with most suffering head injuries, though some reports indicated a smaller number of minor wounds. Police sealed off the premises and later entered the building amid concerns about an armed suspect, but no gunman was found. At least one individual has been detained. According to Bild, investigators recovered cartridge cases, suggesting the firearm may have been a blank-firing weapon, though it has not yet been located. Authorities have launched a full investigation into both the violence and the underlying dispute. A police spokesperson told NRZ that enquiries are "proceeding in all directions". The incident has drawn criticism from members of the Sikh community. Journalist Ravinder Singh Robin described it as "shocking", writing, "Sikhs fighting inside [a gurdwara], turbans in the air, kirpans (meant to protect the weak) turned on each other." Author Man Aman Singh Chhina also called it a "shameful clash", stating, "Turbans were tossed and kirpans were used to attack each other in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib."]]> Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 08:15 AM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2026/04/20260421024225_germany-gurudawara.png Kirpans drawn, shots fired: 11 injured in violent clash inside Germany gurdwara https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/i-owe-him-for-not-9-year-old-becomes-sole-support-for-ageing-grandfather-after-losing-entire-family-13894723.html 'I owe him for not...': 9-year-old becomes sole support for ageing grandfather after losing entire family https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/i-owe-him-for-not-9-year-old-becomes-sole-support-for-ageing-grandfather-after-losing-entire-family-13894723.html SCMP. A report by Henan TV stated that Zichen’s father passed away due to an unspecified illness a few years ago, while his mother left the family and remarried. Zichen’s grandmother also died years ago, making his grandfather his sole carer. Even at his age, he takes care of all the housework, such as cooking, laundry, and drying clothes. The grandfather said he feels sorry for the boy, as he is very sensible for his age. “I feel I owe him for not providing my boy a good life,” the grandfather told the media. Zichen always brings meat from the school canteen back home for his grandfather whenever it is available. “My grandpa does not eat expensive food like meat. I worry if he does not eat meat, he will die. So I bring meat for him as I hope my grandpa can live healthily,” the boy said. According to his grandfather, during festivals, seeing other children’s parents happily return home for family reunions makes Zichen feel sad and cry silently. “Sometimes he cries when sleeping. He said he has dreamed about his father,” the grandfather said, adding, “I hope I can live for a long time so that I can be with Zichen for many years and watch him grow up.” Wang, the boy’s teacher, was brought to tears after hearing his story. She told his grandfather, “If one day you pass away, this boy will be my kid. I promise you that I will raise him until adulthood.” Authorities from village committee an the local women and children’s federation stated they arev assessing whether any support can be extended to Zichen’s family. With 46 million views on social media, his story has caught wide attention, prompting local authorities to step in and offer help. One user said, “How can I contact this boy? I would like to make a donation.” Another person said, “I salute his teacher. She is really an angel.” A third person added, “How ruthless his mother is to abandon her son at such a young age.”]]> Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 08:13 AM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2026/04/20260421024313_gtandd.jpg 'I owe him for not...': 9-year-old becomes sole support for ageing grandfather after losing entire family
