What are some lesser known facts about Rahul Gandhi?

Rahul Gandhi has a black belt in aikodo, a Japanese martial art. And his coach, Sensei Paritos Kar recently told India Today that he's been practicing since 2009.

He knows sword-fighting and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
He is a voracious reader. He has read Swami Vivekananda’s books and texts of Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism and Christianity.
Asha Devi, the mother of victim of the 2012 Nirbhaya gangrape, said Rahul Gandhi counselled and motivated her son after the heart-rending tragedy. "After learning that he wanted to join the defence forces, Rahul asked him to pursue a pilot's training course after completion of school," Asha Devi said. "When he was studying, Rahul used to talk to him over the phone and taught him to adopt a 'never quit' attitude." she said.
He has a MPhil degree from Trinity College.
Rahul dropped out of St Stephen's College, Delhi university to join Harvard University.
He is a qualified pilot.
He did mountaineering courses with the ITBP when he was young.
He is an instructor-level free diver who can reach 75 metres in the sea with a single breath.

But we will never get to hear all this from him since he doesn’t hold ‘non-political interviews.’

What is something that need not be said?

To begin with: For girls- Never tell a guy no matter if he is younger than you or your best buddy, that their ‘post-office' is open in front of people . It embarasses them like hell. (Of course take him in a corner and point that out.) A dark skinned person “You are looking fair today.” What do you mean by today anyway? A topper, “Why do you even need to study? You will top this time too.” (Sounds irritating like hell.) A person who manages to pass, “This time you will pass right?” Yeah, you sound very helping. For guys- A girl that she has got some ‘moustache'. Seriously? Do you want her to haunt you for the rest of your life? To your parents, “I want to do something different in my life than studying.” It might give an Indian parent a mini-attack. (Unless, that's what you want.) To your society's some random aunty, “I am not really planning to marry anytime soon.” Consequences: Either you have an affair, you are depressed, you are going to beco...

What is the single most underrated trait a person can have?

What is the single most underrated trait a person can have? “Have we ever asked if a woman in pardah (draping) feels comfortable? What if she loves her culture? We just decided on our own that it's inconvenient so that we could pin it on patriarchy. May be it's for her good so that she could be safe from evil prying eyes.” Sounded meaningless? Well, it won't now. Just replace pardah with a veil over entire body, strangulating the entire freedom with wholesome swathe. “ Have we ever asked if a woman in entire body-veil feels comfortable? What if she loves her culture? We just decided on our own that it's inconvenient so that we could pin it on patriarchy. May be it's for her good so that she could be safe from evil prying eyes.” Why did the veil feel okay second time? Because the veil of pseudo-intellectualism clouded our judgement. What's the most underrated trait a person can have? Being a lesser hypocrite. ...

How is " Smash the Patriarchy " and " Rhea Chakraborty arrest " related . And does it actually make sense ?

SMASH THE PATRIARCHY ? I was scrolling through twitter and i found a tweet of ' FILMFARE ' , where it was writen that : " Roses are Red Violets are Blue Let's smash the patriarchy Me and you " Filmfare's Tweet : https://twitter.com/filmfare/status/1303382302836142082 And i started wondering what is it really about .

This time, her images went viral on social media for a different reason. Rhea Chakraborty was seen in a black t...
