Thoughts on Investing suggestions and working the compound interest magic. Earlier you start investing the better. Age is your best friend in compounding. If you have a lump sum to invest for a longer period of time it’s better than a SIP.

Andy Mukherjee is wrong about PLI in a weird way. He took an iPhone apart in a Hong Kong market, held up the parts India imports: display, camera, battery, boards. And called the whole scheme a costly dead end. What he refuses to see: -Those exact parts are going to made in India soon. -What he is dismissive of - assembly - is what component manufacture possible. -Because a parts maker needs a customer. -Nobody builds a display or battery plant in a country with no phone assembly lines.. -PLI built those lines. Look at this graphic below - all the highlighted parts are already approved for manufacturing in India (how? see next tweet)

SHAMEFUL SCENES AT THE WORLD WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS! 🤦 USA’s Morgan Turner 🇺🇸 has been disqualified after eye pokes left Russia’s Elizaveta Smirnova 🇷🇺 unable to continue in the tournament. This is NOT how wrestling should be contested. UWW & USA Wrestling must take strict action against such conduct.

Less than 30 years ago, we had to beg and pay Israel a lot of $$$ for the 155mm shells during Kargil. And now…
Saudi Arabia urgently requested 10,000 additional 155mm artillery shells from India This emergency request comes amid ongoing conflict involving Iran-backed Houthi forces in the region In 2024, MIL got largest export order from Saudi Arabia; to supply 155mm shells worth $225M.

BJP-JD(S) alliance sweeps all 4 Karnataka MLC seats. BJP wins 3, JD(S) bags 1, and Congress? ZERO. Not even ONE seat 😭 The ruling party in Karnataka couldn’t win a single seat. If I were Rahul Gandhi, I’d hang my head in shame.

Mobile PLI stats as follows: Government incentive paid: Rs 19,000 Cr. Direct tax collected: Rs 25,000 Cr. GST collected: Rs 3,00,000 Cr. Electronics manufacturing employs 25 Lakh people; mobile manufacturing alone employs 12 Lakh. Cope harder!!
One in four iPhones is made in India, but imported parts and costly subsidies complicate the success story. @andymukherjee70 takes apart an iPhone to explain why copying China's manufacturing model may not pay off 🎥

Because of this woman, I spent two years in jail simply for posting a meme. And now, she has the audacity to preach about freedom of speech. She clearly needs a lesson in Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Indian Constitution. When she was Chief Minister, students, social media users, vloggers, and YouTubers were sent to jail for daring to speak out. Now that the people of West Bengal have rejected her, she suddenly wants to lecture everyone about democracy and freedom of speech. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
The freedom of speech and expression is being taken away from lakhs of citizens across the country. This BJP government does not care about Article 14, Article 19 and Article 21 of our great Constitution. This government wants to deprive all citizens, including elected representatives, of their right to express themselves freely. We extend our support to students, youth, social media users, vloggers, YouTubers, and independent digital platforms. We demand that they must be allowed to express themselves freely. Full strength to them as we, all together, fight this dangerous trend of censorship. Instead of indulging in atrocities against citizens on social media, this government should focus on taking care of the North East along with ensuring the safety and security of all people across the country.

Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Rajdeep was shamelessly defending NewsClick just three days ago, claiming it was falsely targeted. CNN’s latest report has exposed this : 1. An email trail involving Neville Roy Singham, NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha and Vijay Prashad shows links with a network promoting Chinese propaganda. 2. The emails reveal instructions to journalists to portray Arunachal Pradesh as part of China. 3. Attempts to push narratives favourable to the Chinese Communist Party at the expense of India’s national interests. Yes. Read that again. This is the “small news website“ Rajdeep is defending. And people like him have the audacity to call everyone else “Godi Media”!
I was constrained to remind my fellow anchors today of how a small news website @newsclickin was falsely targeted as ‘foreign funded’ Chinese operation and its editor Prabir Purkayasta wrongly jailed for several months. News channels fell for the falsehood and some actively pushed it. Sorry for the noisy debate but happens once in a while when one is really angry. 🙏 #DemocraticNewsroom

5-7yrs from now, India will not be subject to the global Crude Oil blackmail game. 🛢🛢🛢 Just visited Adani’s 30 GW Khavda park in Kutch, billed as the world’s largest renewable plant. Still, it will potentially grow 10x in size from here. Battery, wind, solar. World Class !!

I'm in Rajasthan right now and I'd rather look out the window than read the 150 page Goldman Sachs report I brought with me. 450 million people have arrived in India in one generation and the country still functions. Follow for more of this, link in bio. #india

Present to you another example of - anyone South Indian ain’t a Tamilian or Madrasi #RashmikaMandanna #kodava
Those who have any problem with the pronounciation of Tamil actor Rashmika should be given a few lines of Tamil which is the oldest spoken language in the world and let’s see how well they pronounce Tamil . This fake and baseless linguistic superiority is not acceptable.

There is an American tech YouTuber called Jerry Rigs Everything. Most of his videos are about him taking apart devices, understanding how they work etc. He has 10.2 million subscribers In 2005 his wife had a horse riding accident as a result of which she was paralyzed waist down. She now required a wheel chair to move about All high quality outdoor wheelchairs that he tested costed upwards of $20,000 Considering he was a tech Youtuber with some fame he could have simply called one company to get one for free. He didn't do that Like he does on his channel, he took apart a wheelchair, understood its components and then built one on his own He then decided to sell them in public for $999. He called it the Paradox Thanks to him, most of us can have access to high mobility, all terrain wheelchairs. This is what tech Youtubers abroad do. They actually make a difference Meanwhile Our guys haven't yet gone past, "Arre Bhai, Yeh dekho Apple ka agla amazing phone, Isme aapko milta hai 3 camera aur ek screen. See how I am drooling on this packaging and colour" with some pathetically click baity thumbnails

The very basis of communism is the elimination of income inequality. Asking for the wealth of others to be snatched while keeping one’s own is the problem.
Being born into affluence, possessing a luxury automobile, or belonging to a political dynasty does not inherently invalidate one’s commitment to communism. #Communism is an ideological conviction, not a certificate of poverty. I often tell my students that, philosophically speaking, a baby’s first cry may be interpreted as the most rudimentary assertion of a fundamental right, the instinctive demand for nourishment, care, and survival. Although an infant is incapable of comprehending political ideology, that primordial cry symbolises an innate human need and the instinct to secure what is essential for existence. Therefore, before branding @neha_aisa Neha Bora a fraud merely because she or her family may possess an expensive car, we must learn to distinguish ideological commitment from personal affluence. Scrutinise her arguments, interrogate her actions, and expose any demonstrable contradictions in her principles. But condemning someone’s political convictions solely on the basis of their family’s wealth is intellectual superficiality, not a substantive critique of ideology.
