Yeah. Finmin has really screwed up, and the govt is screwing up too.
What you're also seeing as a citizen is:
1. Corruption all around and increasing power of a few entities.
2. Party in power cares only for election results, not national interest
3. Extractive taxation policies and increasing complexity in doing business.
4. Zero accountability among ministers and bureaucrats.
5. Massive uncertainty in and irrationality of govt policies.
They've gone full UPA2 on us.
Additionally given the geopolitical environment, businesses are not focusing on capex. This quarters earnings and forecasts are going to point towards a dire scenario

I don’t think a lot of non-mallus understand Kerala’s multicultural past and how it shapes our way of thought. Christianity was here before it ever reached Europe. Muslims were here way before they invaded the north. Muziris literally had significant footfall from Ancient Rome!

Google illegally cleared an estimated 250,000 trees across 330 hectares of forest in Muhos, northern Finland, to prepare for a new AI data center before completing mandatory environmental impact assessments
And another 150,000 trees felled at Otanmäki

I now see the danger in “humanizing” AI with human names and human qualities. Millions of people do not have the cognitive sophistication to handle this and millions will have deep AI psychosis in five years. I believe AI should be presented in a sterile UI as much as possible
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants data centers in space. Nobody wants humanoid robots or flying cars.
We want clean water. We want a stable climate. We want a habitable planet. We want wildlife to survive. We want to live.

Just what an incredible fall from grace…

Dr Randall and others arrested in Orissa must be released
Speaking against environmental harms that harm peoples health is not a crime
We try all kinds of coercion & incentives to get doctors to go to rural areas
- but when someone does it willingly- the govt puts them in jail
Doctor moved to Odisha to treat Adivasis, now behind bars for anti-mining protests indianexpress.com/article/in…

The real crisis in Gujarat is NOT the power cut. It’s businesses running out of money power to survive. Yes, few rich are getting richer, vulgarly rich but take a glance at MSMEs, the backbone of Gujarat.
1. How many have closed down?
2. Their reduced turn overs of your pulling along.
3 Sharply declined profits.
Pre-Diwali power cuts was expected. Hormuz closure affected. Current Indian economy is preempting closures & lay offs.
“Exports are skewed, domestic demand is weak, and people can barely afford to buy. We’ve cut production because there simply isn’t enough business. Forget bonuses—even meeting basic costs is becoming difficult. Layoffs are mounting. Power cut is not the story. Our dying business is..." is the refrain.
The story is that except for the super rich, doing business in #Gujarat is getting difficult.
