From "least attractive" BRIC economy & S&P's warning India could lose investment-grade sovereign rating in 2012 to now, when Japan Credit Rating Agency upgrades sovereign rating from BBB+ to A- "stable outlook." economic growth,strong financial system. No wonder @INCIndia uhappy!

Indians and Hindus had no clue about slavery till the desert cults came knocking in the 10th century. Hinduism has no concept of slavery - some scholars think Dasa/Dasi represents slaves but its incorrect. @srijai can confirm,
The West claims credit for ending slavery — even @elonmusk tweeted this.
Under the Muslim govt, the (Christian) Dutch had been free to trade slaves. In August 1677 Shivaji prohibited the slave trade in his territories, by threat of force.
Britain banned it 130 years later.
Socialism is like sugar. The more you consume it, the more you want to consume it.
But then in the end it consumes you completely leaving nothing good.

Wearing rimless glasses in sun can cause sun burns as it acts as a prism from the sides.
To prevent, ensure that the edges of the glass are frosted or have satin finish rather then shiny polished finish.

The below attached post was posted the day Modi 3.0 govt started in June 2024.
1) Has already started
2) Docs 3) Farmers 4) Minorities 5) Khalistanis will join in soon. In fact, some have already joined.
The protests that are coming soon to a street near you in Modi 3.0 in the coming months:
1) NEET related protests
2) IMA doctors protests
3) Farmer protests
4) Muslim led protests (for Palestine but soon against Adani and Modi using fake news)
5) Khalistani related protests mostly outside India
More are planned for later for the next years.
The reason English may have become dominant business language in the world could be because it conveys unsaid things and emotions very well.
Hindi on the other hand is very flat. You can not guess the writers emotional state from their writing very well.

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

Open an IBKR account, then buy:
**S&P500**
If US citizen: buy VOO
If non-US citizen: buy VUAA on LSEETF (search VUAA on IBKR)
**Tech**
If you want more tech exposure (more gains but more risk), if US buy QQQ, if non-US buy XUTC
**Bonds**
If you want to keep some money safe put it in bonds, but that also has an ETF, if US buy SGOV, if non-US buy IB01
**Commodities** (e.g. materials)
Want gold? If US buy IAU, non-US by RMAU
**Why difference US vs non-US citizen investing?**
It's cheaper: Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs generally pay 15% US withholding tax on dividends from US companies, compared to 30% for funds without equivalent treaty access
The only proven thing in investment is that diversification works, you have less gains but less risk, ask AI how to build a nice mix of ETFs, bonds, commodities, real estate/land (p.s. ETFs are categorized as stocks cause they're just a basket of stocks), generally you want to not buy individual stocks with most of your money because it's super volatile and you're betting. It can go both ways, I bet NVIDIA in 2022 and made lots of money but I also bet Alibaba before Jack Ma was arrested and lost 90%!
This is not financial advice
sitting on a bunch of cash in my business accounts

Controlling Demodex mites population in eyes improves general health, reduces allergic reactions in the body and can completely resolve seemingly unrelated disorders such as acidity and even asthma.

We don't even see exceptional breakthroughs in airplanes sir. We are still flying in 1950s tech and speed. We should be flying at least four times that speed, reaching Delhi to Deep State Doha in less than an hour. And the tech is already there. But we won't for another decade.

Something most people don't know:
India holds the largest written record of any civilisation.
1 crore manuscripts. 3 lakh inscriptions in stone.
We gave the world zero. Wrote down surgery and calculus centuries before the West did.
Today, less than 1% can be read or searched. The rest is quietly turning to dust.
In the age of AI, knowledge a machine can't read is knowledge the world will never use.
MIDF is working to change that.

There is no societal permission for an AI future that hollows out entire industries.
This will be a very important statement which will ring true for a long time to come.

"Think about what happened in the first phase of globalization where entire industrial economies were hollowed out by outsourcing. The GDP numbers looked fine on the surface, but the displacement was real and the consequences are still being felt. Let us not bring that dynamic into the AI era, with a small number of AI systems capturing all the economic returns"
Satya has hit the nail on its head.

John Collison: We only had 50 users two years after founding Stripe
“We started working on Stripe in the Fall of 2009, and we launched Stripe in September 2011,” John Collison reflects. “I remember right at the beginning when we were starting it I said to Patrick [Collison], ‘Yeah let’s do it. How hard can it be?’ Which gives you a sense of our mindset. And the answer was: two years of difficulty. We had not predicted that.”
John remembers feeling dejected when Stripe only had 50 users two years later:
“When you spend two years getting 50 users, it doesn’t feel like a whole lot of progress. It feels like things are going pretty slow.”
But this is one of the challenges of startups, he argues:
“If you’re working on a startup that’s a bad idea, it’s going to feel like slow-going. But if you’re working on a startup that’s a good idea, it may feel like slow-going too.”
Yet slow growth has a silver lining:
“I think the thing that allowed us to take off in the subsequent years was the fact that since we were spending so much time on each one of those users; since we were hyper-focused on building a great product; and since we weren’t dealing with problems of scale yet, that allowed us to build the product that we wanted. Part of the culture that set in really early on was taking abnormally good care of those early users.”
The Stripe founders would get an email or phone call anytime a user ran into a bug. When they sent the customer an email moments later alerting them that the bug was now fixed, people’s minds were blown.
They set up a Campfire room that any customer could join and use to message John and Patrick at any hour of the day or night. And if a user was based in the Bay Area, the founders would invite them to come by the office and help integrate Stripe for them.
In the Stripe dashboard they would prompt their customers for feedback and feature requests. Then the Stripe founders would reply to that feedback within 10 minutes.
“What this meant was that even though the user growth was happening quite slowly in the early days,” John explains, “it actually had a pretty surprising viral effect where people had a good experience, they told their friends about it, and we were able to spread entirely through word-of-mouth even to this day.”
