No Sugar Month One. Amidst all the noises in the fitness world about Sugar being the villain, I decided to test it for myself. I didn’t expect dramatic changes, but here are the few things I’ve noticed.👇
No Sugar day 22😌

Lol, this is nothing but a PR stunt. Soon, you’ll see videos and clips of people leaving their chappals outside theatres before entering. They’re trying to sell the religious angle now.
what i feared,is happening They started worshipping Ranbir Kapoor😭

Pehle aise statements do, phir vote chori aur EVM frauds ka rona karte raho. No wonder the ruling party has become so arrogant. They know India will never vote for someone who keeps making such statements.

You have your exams tomorrow. You better go and study, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Learn something from your brother, Forrest Gump, and your sister, Schindler’s List. Even that bastard Batman: The Dark Knight Rises has scored more than you.
Normalize naming your children after 10/10 movies

This everyday recording of bank employees and putting it on social media needs to stop. The kind of Janta we have, most people hardly understand even the basics of banking. “Cheque par sign nahi hai toh kya cheque clear nahi hoga?” Google pay par transaction atak gaya, toh muh utha ke branch aa jao. Kisi ko OTP bata diya, paise chori ho gaye, toh muh utha ke bank pahunch jao aur employees par chillao. I know people in other industries, such as doctors or insurance employees, face similar issues. But the difference is that their management at least stands up for its employees. In banking, even if someone slaps a Branch Manager, there is a good chance that the management will ask the Branch Manager to apologise instead. It’s high time we either fix this system or start looking for something else to earn our do waqt ki roti. Dear young aspirants preparing for IBPS, please think twice before joining. Those reasoning and mathematics skills have very little use here. Your job is to serve customers, no matter how they treat you. They can abuse you, shout at you, threaten you, and even assault you. And when you expect your own management to stand by you, don’t be surprised if nobody does. Even if you lose your life, the system will move on. Nobody cares.
Customer abuses PNB Bank Manager on Camera. The respect for Bankers has decreased a lot in society.

Celebrated #MuhuratTrading by buying 35 shares of ITC. What did you buy?
Fun Fact: During the 2008 Muhurat Trading session, amidst the darkest phase of the financial crisis following the Lehman Brothers collapse, the #Nifty rose close to 6% in just one hour. What is Muhurat Trading, you ask? It’s a one hour (mostly) trading session held on Diwali to celebrate Indian Financial Markets, Business traditions and cultural beliefs which dates back to 1957. Hey @Grok share 5 more fun facts about the Muhurat Trading sessions. Pic Credit: Finlipi.

Zepto posted a net loss of Rs. 5,905 Cr. That’s an average loss of approximately Rs. 492 Cr every month. Rs. 16.18 Cr every day. Rs. 67.4 Lacs every hour. Rs. 1.12 Lac every minute. And approximately Rs. 1,870 every second. You can’t expect every company to offer an iPhone 16 Pro to its gig workers. Get out of those Gujarat diamond traders’ bonus gift videos. Not every company operates with the same financial capacity. This is real life, not a movie. Emotions shouldn’t come in the way of basic financial logic.
Zepto valuation 7 billion Zepto employees bonus.

Searched for firecrackers on Blinkit and other e commerce apps. This search led me to a few interesting findings. • The Supreme Court of India…

has prohibited e commerce platforms from selling firecrackers since 2018. • Firecrackers can only be sold by licensed sellers. Which means the Patakhe we see being sold at literally every other corner of the road on Diwali eve are not necessarily authorised sellers. The licensing requirements are quite strict. • I will actually have to visit a physical store to buy firecrackers. Not everything is available at your fingertips.

No, those are not firecrackers. Those are chocolates and candles. It’s mentioned in the attached photo itself. 🫣 The idea was to tell everyone that e-commerce platforms cannot sell firecrackers.

Hey @grok, what does the data tell us? How many humans have ever lived and died since the beginning of our existence? Have the dead already outnumbered the living?
By 2070, dead Facebook accounts could outnumber the living.

“Bhaiya, hum tah 15000 wala soche the. Aap paisa de diye toh hum 20000 wala le liye. Ee bhi bole ki yahi jaade wala achha hai.” Apparently my househelp has upgraded her phone, instead of using that money to buy things for the household.😂😂😂😂
I pay the househelp on the 12th of every month. But since it’s Diwali, I paid her in advance, with some extra money. And of course, Mumma gave her some clothes. Not posting this to flaunt, just so that while you celebrate your bonus and watch those iPhone 16 Diwali gift reels, make sure you are also doing whatever little you can to make someone else’s Diwali celebrations better. Diwali, in my books, is the greatest festival to have ever existed. Let’s celebrate it together.❤️

#Ramayana 3D IMAX in a Tier 2 city like Lucknow is Rs. 1000. Even Odyssey was Rs. 800. Back in Diwali 2007 we paid Rs. 15 to watch Om Shanti Om which went on to collect over Rs. 5 cr on its opening day compared to Ramayana’s Rs. 47 Cr. Has anyone here paid four digits for a movie ticket? P.S. Watching it in IMAX only.

LoL, this is FOMO marketing by Reliance. 2 weeks back, the entire internet was flooded with news of an expected 20-25% telecom price hike. Now, suddenly they have launched a 3 year pack. Everyone believes the prices will go up. So why not just buy the 3 year pack and stay protected from the hike for the next 3 years? After 3 years, they will launch another expensive pack, and everyone will be like, “Koi baat nahi, 3 saal se recharge ke paise bhi toh nahi lage.” 😂 😂😂

My IT friend needed a home loan last year and sent me his payslip. Rs. 3.13L in hand, with 7 years of experience, having graduated from a tier 3 college. Enjoying life king size. Always taking those foreign trips with a mission to cover the entire planet in the next few years. Spending time in Turkey as we speak. Non IT bros are happy if they can afford a Nainital trip once a year.
IT professionals in India may have earned big salaries over the last 5–6 years. But do you really know what they have lost in those years to earn that money?

Normally, I avoid sharing work related stuff here, but something extremely funny happened today. We had received a Cash Credit loan application from a partnership firm where one of the partners is a lady. Her CIBIL report showed one write off, so naturally, I asked for the reason behind it. Today, the firm replied: “X k naam par jo write off dikh raha hai wo shaadi ke pehle ka hai. Jab se shaadi karke hamare ghar aayi hai, tab se koi write off nahi hua hai.” 😂😂😂😂
