Saw this take about normalizing a 3-day weekend: one day for errands/chores, one for social life or activities, and one just for rest.

From a lifestyle perspective, it sounds ideal. But from an India finance and productivity angle, is it even practical?

Would companies actually benefit from better productivity and burnout reduction, or would it hurt output, especially in sectors already stretched?

Also, could this widen inequality between white-collar and blue-collar jobs?

Curious what people here think - is a 3-day weekend realistic for India anytime soon, or just a luxury idea?

OP

This map shows the state-wise preference between wheat and rice across India, based on consumption data. A clear regional pattern emerges: northern and western states like Rajasthan (-93), Haryana, and Punjab strongly prefer wheat, while southern and eastern states like Tamil Nadu (+85), Andhra (+92), Odisha (+86), and the Northeast show a strong preference for rice.

Interestingly, India overall leans slightly toward rice (+13.48), but the divide is quite sharp geographically.

What’s more interesting is how culture, agriculture, and climate seem to align with these consumption patterns.

Do you think this divide is changing with urbanization and migration, or is it still deeply rooted?
