An angry lady’s image shouting at a political leader and his party for having stopped the road has gone viral. That one woman has said what millions of us feel. Stop blocking roads for your political agendas. Stop blocking roads, temples, for VIPs. People have work, emergencies, lives. This entitlement has gone too far.

Ideal setup for buying quality businesses: Lower Valuations Higher ROEs Higher cashflows/FCF Yield Higher Dividend Yield All of these are in favour of IT Companies. What is not in the favour, is the narrative in the market. Is the narrative right or wrong, only time will tell but what is in our control is the entry point. And good high quality businesses are not available at cheap valuations unless there is high pessimism against it. The courage to go against the narrative is rare.

Gold price today are down 20% from its all time high. Sadly most Indian retail investors believe, gold is a buy and forget, as prices go oneway up! #gold

Never ever take a travel policy from @policybazaar I took a @CareHealthIndia travel policy from Policybazaar. My flight from Dubai got delayed by more than 4 hours (Jan 2026). I put in a claim as > 4 hours delay, a compensation was to be paid as per policy document. And then the nightmare started. They asked for some docs, which I sent. Policybazaar RM follows up. They keep calling that Care Insurance requires more docs. I tell them it is too much an hassle and I don't want to pursue the claim. But they pursue me to send the docs and they will do the followup with Care. Policybzaar keeps calling and I do give the docs. All that are required. As claim amount is not worth the docs they keep on asking everytime, I decide not to pursue. Care keeps asking for already sent documents. Policybazaar has no clue. Each time different RM calls. I tell them don't call me. But I keep getting calls. And Care keeps sending mails and SMS asking for docs already submitted. It seems Care doesn't want to pay. Fine, I have learnt my lession. I will never buy again from Care and Policybazaar. I don't want the claim. Stop the harassment. Please don't call me again.

Wonderful to speak with my dear friend President Trump today. Delighted that Made in India products will now have a reduced tariff of 18%. Big thanks to President Trump on behalf of the 1.4 billion people of India for this wonderful announcement. When two large economies and the world’s largest democracies work together, it benefits our people and unlocks immense opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation. President Trump’s leadership is vital for global peace, stability, and prosperity. India fully supports his efforts for peace. I look forward to working closely with him to take our partnership to unprecedented heights. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump

A major tragedy was narrowly avoided on the Mumbai–Goa Highway near Vashi Naka in Pen taluka when a pickup truck carrying gas cylinders caught fire.When lives were at stake, a man stepped forward instead of stepping back. The male driver risked his own life, used a fire extinguisher, and threw gas cylinders away from the burning vehicle to prevent a catastrophic explosion. Firefighters and police later secured the scene and brought the blaze under control. No injuries. No deaths. Because one man’s courage saved many lives. #MenSaveLives #MaleBravery #RealHeroes #UnsungHero #CourageUnderFire #PresenceOfMind #MenInAction #EverydayHero #IndianMen #LifeSaver

Dear Indian Railways, what’s this behaviour? Cleaning the entire coach in front of foreign tourists only to throw all the waste on the tracks this isn’t cleanliness, it’s pure hypocrisy. If this is your idea of Swachh Bharat, it’s a shameful mockery of it. @AshwiniVaishnaw @RailMinIndia

Your voice @RoadsOfMumbai has been amplified by @mid_day @m_ram05 The Parking Loot at @CSMIA_Official mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-ne…
Donated ₹160 for just entering and exiting the CSMIA Terminal 2 to pick up my parents. Did not park the car at all. Also they have blocked the road for cars which was earlier available for picking passengers from ground level next to auto stand/city bus stop. So now cars have to forcefully enter the paid parking zone to pickup the passengers and pay parking fees! The first 5-10 mins should be free in this case if the vehicle is not parked inside the airport. @CSMIA_Official please stop this robbery!
