The new FEMA rules have made me an exporter of services to America. Because I make videos that YouTube (an American company) pays me for, I’m considered an exporter in the eyes of the RBI. As a result, I must sign an Export Declaration Form (corroborate it with my Adsense account), sign it, stamp it, and email it to the bank. The bank then also wants a hard copy of each EDF. This is for payments as small as $100 to as large as $50,000. And I must do this every single time.
If the state is going to wear down creators, freelancers, and internet service providers like this and add nightmarish friction to the process of getting paid, it makes sense to either scale up to become a corporation (unrealistic and impossible for many) or start dealing in petty cash and cease to trade with anyone outside of India or simply pack your digital enterprise up and participate in the lala and seth ji ball-bearing economy.

vande bharat sleeper 1A experience is something. train arrived late by 20mins but still reached pune 25 mins ahead of scheduled time. travelled ~ 120km in flat 2 hours
more than the train itself, impressed with the staff, extremely well behaved and the training + emphasis shows.

The best intial sequence of the movie of Ravan introduction and backstory, is unfortunately totally cooked up. As a movie, not bad, as Ramayana, could have been much better. Full video on this and other aspects soon...isi bahana thoda Itihasa lessons wapas ho jaay.
vande bharat suddenly a much better travel alternative to duck out off blr traffic

It’s sweet and fizzy, the coffee flavor itself, is not bitter but it felt like I was drinking sweetened flavored instant coffee, nothing good.
not for the coffee enthusiasts
normal people who like black instant coffee or add sugar in their blacks may like it

I’ve personally tried each one of these products from the hamper and it’s a banger.

India is at a talent war with everyone here. Many companies are setting shop in India in attempts to build the next generation of AI hardware. I have spent hours learning exactly what's happening here. And it's crazier than Chandra reports. My notes: (Long thread). This is my thesis for building quick talent pools for serving this Trillion dollar market.
🚨Agrani Labs in talks to raise $100 million from Groww founders' Stargazer fund, Google, Peak XV, others
A $100 million investment will mark one of the largest rounds in India's deeptech ecosystem after the likes of Pixxel, Skyroot, Sarvam among a handful others.
Moneycontrol was the first to report on September 1 that Agrani Labs was in talks to raise $50 million (Rs 475 crore), with existing investor Peak XV Partners looking to double down and new investor 360 One joining the round.
That round has now been upsized to $100 million with Groww's founders too coming in, among others.

Archaeologist here, the structure beneath Babri Masjid was definitely a Vaishnav temple, in all likelihood dedicated to Ram. I wonder what does he even mean by "archaeologist's interference" here. No offence to historians but it is the archaeologists who explore, dig and unearth the past, not historians sitting in AC rooms who interpret historical data as it suits their narratives. Also, I wonder why doesn't he talk about the destruction and subsequent disappearance of the Treta ke Thakur inscription issued by Jaichand Gahadvala in the 12th century. Destroy the evidence and deny it ever even existed.
Supreme Court’s Babri Masjid verdict was “totally illegitimate” from a historian's point of view, says historian Irfan Habib in a conversation with @dksingh73 and @MandhaniApoorva.
