In re: Career Planning

Yesteryears actresses from Mumbai's film industry, Karishma Kapoor & Kareena Kapoor Khan brilliantly managed their careers.

Being aware of their limited shelf lives as lead actresses, they got FULLY into advertisements. 

You can see them everywhere, including in Big Basket advertisements.

In re: The Indian High Commission to Pakistan's social media activity

Rather than posting general things on social media,  the Indian High Commission should give examples of how common Pakistanis could benefit if that country's Military Establishment  stops exporting terrorism & opens trade - Like being able to buy Suzuki Altos for UNDER 12 Lakh PKR instead of around 30 Lakh PKR. 

India needs to understand that Pakistanis are one of the few peopleS who are MORE BEWAKOOF than Bharatiya peopleS. We can & should flood their markets with our muck AND good stuff, if any.

In re: Kuildeep Singh Sengar

I am uncomfortable with the blanket narrative surrounding the suspension of Kuldeep Singh Sengar 's sentance.

Opinions are fine but only if they ANALYSE the judgment & point out WHY it ought to be set aside. Anything else is politics, emotion & public relations.

Of course people will jump to point out the cases of the two #Muslim activists who are in jail since 2020 or so.

My take: While they are anti nationals for a variety of reasons, being anti national is NOT a crime, in my view. They SHOULD be released on bail & put on surveillance.

In re: Delusional Bharatiya PeopleS & Pakistan under Field Marshall Munir

I do NOT think that the Indian Government underestimates Pakistan's hybrid regime controlled by Field Marshall Asim Munir where roles have be assigned to Shehbaz Sharif, the Bhutto-Zardaris & others.

But Indian audiences certainly underestimate it & our media is catering to them.

In re: The Hindus of Bangladesh

A possible lasting solution to the problems being faced by the Hindus of Bangladesh is to BUY a homeland for them in adjacent Bangladeshi territory.

The standard acres formula with dynamic modifications to cover all kinds of assets can be used to facilitate a partition of Bangladesh with Hindus coming West & Muslims going East.

Of course, the Hindus who choose to remain in Bangladesh even after this should be told that we will not be responsible for their safety.

In re: A report from the 'Illness to Wellness Foundation' claiming that 40% of Delhiites are thinking about moving out of the city because of air pollution.

They should be asked to put out details about sampling if not raw data. I have been living in Delhi over for 19 years - continuously - I RARELY leave the city.

I assert:
- Almost all migrants across economic classes dislike Delhi BUT will almost certainly never leave - particularly true for most of those from North & East India. &
- People from Delhi, particularly Punjabis & those influenced by them often make statements which no one should take seriously. They plan joint vacations, property purchases & all kinds of things at social gatherings which they themselves won't remember.

I have issues with BOTH MIGRANTS (though I am one myself) and LOCALS. However I do NOT intend to ever leave.

Being a weighted average of PAN Western & North Indian experiences, this place suits ME more than any other in this union of provinces masquerading as states.

In re: Hypocrisy

Think about it: Most of the people being exposed in the Epstein files are deranged liberals & purported leftists.

There's absolutely nothing there against Donald Trump - so it's yet another hoax.

Yes, Donald Trump may have had social & possibly general financial ties with Epstein - but he did NOT need Epstein for the services that other people did - the Access Hollywood tapes are ironically Donald Trump's greatest EXONERATION.

In re: Pakistan's proposed role in Gaza

The Pakistanis will be paid handsomely for this work. Further I do not envisage the Palestinians opposing Pakistan's presence in such a force.

India, under the present government, RIGHTLY maintains balance between the Israelis & Palestinians because as a poor country we need the Jewish financial system & influence AS WELL AS the economic strength & employment opportunities that Islamic countries offer.

However Pakistan has never had diplomatic ties with Israel & is the least likely country to join the Abraham Accords.

They can afford to take that approach in spite of their economic troubles because they have the broad support of the Muslim Ummah. The 'Biradar Mulk' concept which flows from this does NOT work perfectly in conflicts between Muslim countries but it certainly works to a great extent in the case of conflicts between Muslim countries and non Muslim ones like India.

In re: Private Sector Reservations in India

I saw a statement of Mr. Ramdas Athawale in #Parliament clarifying that there is NO PROPOSAL to implement #reservations in the #private sector pending.

I HOPE that such a proposal COMES.

Private sector reservations are ESSENTIAL for true empowerment of SCs/STs & OBCs.

This is whatt India NEEDS irrespective of what many MARNING WAK VishwaGurus (& many Seculars too) have to say.

In re: The National Herald case

I am NOT a fan of Rahul Gandhi & his sister. I remain a Congress voter for lack of choice & do NOT subscribe to their LIBERALISM.

I am unaware about their GENERAL financial dealings. However in the National Herald Case, I am SURE that they DID NOT want to enrich themselves.

Yes, the documents are dodgy, as is the timeline - prima facie indicative of irregularities IF not criminality. However that's the result of bad advice and the INCOMPETENCE of advisors as well as lawyers, accountants & ‘professionals’ of the like

PS: Professionals need to be made accountable for the results of their incompetence & should also be LEGALLY entitled to success fees where they exhibit competence. 

In re: News report about India's November goods imports being at $62.66 billion & exports being at $38.13 billion resulting in a trade deficit of $24.53 billion

The only way out is to appease the BOSS, President Donald J. Trump, the most consequential political leader of our times.

Without that, 'everyone's support, everyone's development & everyone's efforts' will lead to more economic pain.

Of course BJP supporters are free to continue with their conversations about - "भाई साहब, मैं आपको बता रहा हूं, US में भी Trump का बहुत विरोध हो रहा है। वहां भी सारे India को SPOORT कर रहे हैं।"

In re: News report about a legislator demanding a 40% cut for a ₹50 Lakh project in Rajasthan 

A demand for 40% commission is PERVERSE. 

Commission for award of contracts INCLUSIVE of tendering SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 15% & should cover everyone: politicians, officers & consultants. Of course in addition to that RUNNING MONEY of 2-3% can be charged for release of payments.

In re: Watches

In the age of mobile phones which efficiently tell time, wearing a watch NOT being a smart watch makes sense ONLY if it's being done for the same reasons that jewellery is worn:
1. Religious reasons (watches can have religious significance) AND/OR
2. Style.

In view of the same, I see many watch companies closing down with only two kinds of watch makers continuing to be in business:
1. Those with tie-ups with religious institutions AND/OR
2. Those oriented ENTIRELY towards style.

Obviously, I am not referring to clocks. Clocks will continue to have basic time telling utility because of strategic placement & ergonomics.

I do not wear watches - but I do own & shall continue to buy clocks.

In re: Lt. General Faiz Hameed (retired)

Lt. General Faiz Hameed (retired) has NOT been convicted for any offences related to what happened in Afghanistan.

This has to do with misuse of his official position to enrich himself - the Pakistani system is oriented to ensure good lives for the members of the military establishment.

Brazenness beyond that is not tolerated - in this case non military elites suffered because of what Faiz Hameed did. It was obvious that he would have to pay a price so as to keep them happy & maintain the cozy club.

Whatever else may be said about him, Filed Marshall Asim Munir isn't seen as corrupt - in fact they say that Imran Khan fired him for daring to try & flag possible corruption in his family

In re: News report that the US trade representative told the Senate Committee that India's trade offer is the 'Best US has ever received' 

Donald Trump's agenda caters to grievances of the Americans left out by the forces of globalisation, RAMPANT immigration & resulting social change.

India has to cater to it. If it chooses not to & the deal falls through, the POOREST Indians will suffer the most.

PS: Poor Bharatiya peopleS are more important than EMI paying Republic viewers & the elites who are fans of Palki Sharma. 

In re: News report that President Donald Trump has warned that he is ready to consider rice export tariffs on agricultural exports, including Indian rice.

President Trump is taking the correct approach.

India took in generous amounts of aid from the United States over decades, including famine, drought & disaster relief - while refusing to promote American interests in the region.

Bharatiya peopleS took advantage of America 's BROKEN immigration system to flood their communities & ultimately create pressure groups loyal to India.

Finally the United States has got a President like Donald Trump who is adopting a carrot & stick approach towards India. The trade deal is the carrot & tariffs are the sticks.

As for immigration, thankfully for American citizens with foresight - that won't be on the table. Enough invasions.

In re: The fire at the night club in Goa & similar incidents that keep taking place across India

The ONLY way to ty & ensure safety for most citizens & residents is to facilitate:

- compulsory acquisitions & redevelopment of private properties, one area at a time  - with fair compensation & transit rent AND
- handing over projects to big developers - not contractors masquerading as builders.

Yes - this will lead to supposed crony capitalism. However that's a lot better than the tragedies we witness time & again.

Apart from this, having gated residential & commercial complexes will also ensure more security.

In re: The joint anti-terrorism exercises of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization

Most Bharatiya peopleS aren't aware of the fact that Field Marshal Asim Munir had passed on actionable intelligence to India while he was DG ISI.

Any forward movement on de-escalation will need engagement with Pakistan's military establishment.

In tough economic times, India has to look at Pakistan's market sell some of our MUCK - Pakistanis being one of the few peopleS who are relatively more stupid & ridiculous than Bharatiya peopleS, are more likely to buy our muck than people from developed countries.

The establishment ties economic relationships to discussions on Kashmir - so give them a facade of discussions to allow our goods to flood their market.

Top echelons of India 's government are much smarter than their own supporters - they need to use that smartness here.

In re: IndiGo & ‘InterGlobe Aviation Limited’

I have always had fundamental issues with IndiGo. An illustrative but not exhaustive list of these issues are:
1. Their DEVIOUS FLIGHT SCHEDULING where they show longer flight durations to create a facade of ‘on time performance’ & ‘before time performance’. I had not noticed this till the spouse of a relative of a family member pointed it out & explained how they do it, to me a few years ago.
2. Their promotion of TOXIC FEMINISM by creating immoral slogans against patriarchy (patriarchy being the one thing which is somewhat holding our family systems together) AND annoyingly offensive flight announcements.
3. Third rate CUSTOMER SERVICE both in Ground Handling & CUSTOMER RELATIONS on CALL CENTERS AND EMAIL.
4. Horribly unhealthy powdered ready to eat food sold on their flights.

THAT SAID what I like about IndiGo is that:
1. The STAKEHOLDERS in InterGlobe Aviation Limited NEVER INDULGE IN SELF PROMOTION which is rare & refreshing in a country like India &
2. It is a successful Indian business entity which directly and indirectly EMPLOYS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE & generates SUBSTANTIAL GOVERNMENT REVENUE - it needs to survive and indeed thrive.

I have remained a regular flyer on IndiGo because of its VAST UNPARALLELED DOMESTIC NETWORK - indeed it is like a MUNICIPAL CORPORATION which you detest for a variety of reasons but cannot live without. 

I hope that this airline sorts out its issues in cooperation with the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

In re: Why signatures are still used & insisted upon in the banking sector?

I haven't understood as to why signatures are still used & insisted upon in the banking sector. Signing is inconvenient, particularly for older people.

In this era of biometrics It's time to return to thumb impressions - both digitally & where needed, physically.

PS: I find it extremely difficult to sign, write cheques or do anything with a pen/pencil.

In re: Badly brought up people from insular backgrounds 

I am BOTH a:
- So called NON-VEGETARIAN who eats ALL kinds of LEGALLY available MEAT when I wish to (generally once OR twice a week & when on vacations) AND
- A VEGETARIAN who won't even eat a simple chicken OR egg sandwich MOST of the time - (95% + of my overall food intake).

I have found extremely judgemental people in BOTH categories:
- the so called NON-VEGETARIANS who MAKE FUN of vegetarians AND
- the VEGETARIANS who JUDGE people for consuming meat, poultry & seafood.

Such third rate people have NO respect for FREEDOM OF CHOICE. They are essentially BADLY BROUGHT UP & come from FROM INSULAR BACKGROUNDS. I have had first hand experience of their bad behaviour since many people from BOTH categories assume that I belong to the OTHER.

In re: News report about the Government seeking Parliamentary approval for an additional rupees 4100cr for defense expenditure

Partition was necessary & was the best thing that happened for & to us Hindus.

However THE WAY PARTITION HAPPENED & it's AFTERMATH over DECADES continues to bleed poor Bharatiya peopleS on account of such ever increasing defence expenditure.

Pakistan largely & India to some extent ruined something that could have been fantastic.

In re: News report about India’s population being expected to stabilize by 2080 as fertility rate falls below replacement level

This is an unfortunate consequence of increasing feminism in Hindu society.

The issue in India is not over population. It is faulty deployment of resources & a refusal of the leadership across political parties to move towards a purely consumption based economy.

In re: News report about the Centre moving toward the Merger of Canara Bank and Union Bank of India

There needs to be more consolidation of public sector banks. The banking sector is a rare Indian success story & that's thanks to the PUBLIC SECTOR and NOT to private banks. The government needs to continue to play a role in this sector.
