In re: Updated Statement on vegetable 'burgers'.

Some people are falsely using my statements that vegetable 'burgers' are not 'burgers' to suggest that I do not consume such 'burgers'.

To clarify: I regard vegetable 'burgers' as a form of vegetable sandwiches. 

In fact being a person who tends to consume meat just once or twice a week & while on vacation, I am more likely to eat vegetable 'burgers' to actual burgers.

Indeed I consumed 2 such faux burgers sent to us by a very prosperous family on Wednesday, 29.07.2026.

In re: Ms. Kangana Ranaut & young Hindus 

What Ms. Kangana Ranaut said is generally true. 

HOWEVER it's true for MOST young Hindus irrespective of political ideology.

It is incorrect to assume that BJP supporters are in general more moralistic than others.

Hindu society is consumed by hedonism & immorality.

To those who are pointing to Ms. Kangana Ranaut's own past, my answer is that she has not run away from it. So she can't be disqualified from expressing her views.

Again: My point is that young Hindus who support the BJP are in general as immoral as those who oppose it.

In re: 'जले हुए कारतूस' which can have minor utility through improvisation.

There are useless people who were useful in the past who try to stay relevant by making tall prima facie false claims.

Some such people cannot be completely discarded because they could retain some residual use.

How does on deal with them?

Simple:

• Ignore most of their calls/messages,
• Answer them sometimes,
• Avoid meeting them most of the time, 
• Meet them on rare occasions, hear their nonsense, tell them that you will get back but obviously do not waste time thinking about what they told you after they leave. 

In re: An irresponsible political system.

Formal higher education is overrated.

Excessive spread of formal higher education will create more angst & unrest across the world given how AI and automation are going to radically transform economies.

The government should reorient people towards economic realities.

In re: मेरे friend अभी लगे है , xyz जिले में। Dead HHO-Nest officer हैं.......... कोई 'neat and clean' काम हो तो बता दीजिए। 

Most Bharatiya peopleS are in general desirous of being corrupt. 

Angst comes from their not getting any of the spoils of corruption or not getting as much of the spoils as they would have liked. 

Jealousy drives most agitations. 

Anyway.

Enjoy.

In re: Lovely Stu-dANTS and Lovely PAA-rents. 

The special legislation related to paper leaks et al & other measures which the government has promised will not end instances of paper leaks.

Most lovely Bharatiya students would want to access leaked papers given the opportunity. 

Their lovely 'Abhivavaks', irrespective of political ideology & social background would support them financially if they found the 'quote' reasonable.

The reason for most of the angst is not with the moral aspects of paper leaks. Rather it is with jealousy arising out of lack of access &/or financial ability to avail that access.

A draconian legislation will make such access even more expensive. If a leaked paper costed a lakh, it will possibly cost 5 lakhs. This will lead to even more angst. 

Essentially: 
'बंजर भूमी, कंजर लोग' - an iconic line from 'Udta Punjab, 2016' which applies on PAN India basis - एक भारत, श्रेष्ठ भारत।

In re: The legal 'profession' & the state of the economy.

One indication of how badly the economy is doing is the trend among children of prosperous but not super rich people who are not lawyers on one hand & the EMI paying classes on the other to become #lawyers .

This is happening because of lack of entrepreneurial & job opportunities.

So there is a feeling among such people that there could be sustained career opportunities in law 

Remember: Getting into law schools and getting a law degree is not too difficult unless one is way below average IQ or concentration wise.
It is not too expensive either unless one goes to a Jindal like private law school.

However what these people do not realise is that AI and #automation will greatly reduce the need for newer lawyers within the next decade.
What will such lawyers do then?

In re: A movie ahead of its time.

‘Maa Tujhe Salam, 2002’ starring Sunny Deol was a very interesting movie.

It showed a local Kashmiri strongman called ‘Lala’, who for some reason ate Tandoori chicken at every meal, teaming up with local mainstream politicians and Pakistani handlers to take over his area of influence and annex it with Pakistan.

They raised a Pakistani flag and played the Pakistani National Anthem. [The first time I heard 'Pāk Sarzamīn Shād Bād' was when watching this movie].

Later Sunny Deol, an Indian Army officer posted in the area, with the help of a loyal Kashmiri obviously retrieved the area for India.

The insane aspects of this movie, notwithstanding it were ahead of its time, indicating contacts between some mainstream politicians, separatists & Pakistanis.  

In re: Bharatiya peopleS 

I was pro establishment when the UPA was in power & remain so now when the NDA is in power.

That said, I generally oppose inter alia:
- The parties in power (BJP led NDA),
- The parties in opposition (INC et al) &
- Protestors

I generally do not like Bharatiya peopleS.

Screw you.

In re: Bhartiya 'Examination Warriors'.

I can understand someone who has been a topper throughout school preparing for examinations like #NEET / IIT-JEE.

I can also understand someone whose parents can afford to buy him a medical seat preparing for NEET.

Average students from middle class or lower backgrounds doing the above are misguided.

In re: 'Non-Veg' 

When will Bharatiya peopleS stop using terms like 'non-veg'?

It is - meat, poultry & seafood OR just meat because that term can refer to both red & white meat. 

Note: I usually eat meat once or twice a week & while traveling on vacations. I am vegetarian most of the time.

In re: Paper Leaks, BJP supporters & Bharatiya peopleS in general.

Many people who appeared or appear for such examinations tend to be BJP supporters.

Most of them actually believe the Viksit Bharat nonsense. They must be mighty disappointed.

While the opposition parties would have done as badly on this issue, those in power are responsible.

Bhartiya peopleS across backgrounds are stuck in the achievement trap.

Politicians across party lines do not tell them is that the best possible future of this country is in being a consumption economy aligned with the West.

Think: Delivery, retail sales, manufacturing outsourced from abroad et al.

Anyway enjoy. Do COMPA-TI-SHAN. 

In re: Purported western meals cooked by certain kinds of English speaking people in India. 

Many Bharatiya peopleS will say that their English speaking cousin who lives in Noida, Gurugram, Navi Mumbai, Whitefield et al makes it better. [The one who enjoys 'lovely desi khana' when she visits her home-smart-city where there are no suitable jobs even in Viksit Bharat.]

PS: Many such Bharatiya PeopleS do ‘net practice’ thinking about their cousins’ wives who fit the above description.

In re: Israel’s staying out of the latest round of the military operations against Iran.

Is the United States holding back the Israelis because Pakistan has made their entering the military operations against Iran conditional on it? 

Note: Even the present Hybrid regime in Pakistan cannot afford the domestic backlash of being seen on Israel's side.

In re: A recent suggestion doing the rounds on social media that prospective grooms need to seek call record data of ladies before marriage.

Accessing call record data of ladies before marriage could have made sense earlier - mobile phone employees tend to share data for a the right price.

However today, you need WhatsApp records which are very expensive to hack even assuming they were preserved.

Further, one should not forget that many ladies change their mobile numbers when their parents start looking for grooms.

In re: Bharatiya pig meat.

It is not like I have not eaten Bharatiya pig meat in the past. 

When I lived in Mumbai, I would access pig meat sold by Maharashtra State run MAFCO & would eat at restaurants. 

I have also had it in Goa & a few times in Delhi. I have also eaten Himachali pig meat pickle.

However that was my stupidity. 

I do not consider Bharatiya pig meat to be safe & will stick to imported pig meat as and when.

In re: Hindu Rashtra, the Basic Structure & India's Religious Minorities.

India's Religious Minorities should not get mixed up with that 'basic structure' concept.

Two third majorities in both houses of Parliament and ratification by half the State Assemblies can negate the Basic Structure and create a Hindu Rashtra - constitutionally.

India's Religious Minorities should instead do hard negotiations on their rights under such a system using UAE like models. 

They should try & get constitutional protections under changed scenarios rather than patronizing Seculars and their 'Dukaans' - on this issue. 

In re: The proposed 20% fee on Cargo going through the Strait of Hormuz

It's logical that the United States of the America, the only nation, that has the ability to put Iran in its place should be able to charge a fee for doing it.

Of course exemptions to the 20% fee can be worked out in bilateral trade deals.

President Donald J. Trump is doing the right thing.

PS: President Trump has now withdrawn the proposed fee and will instead negotiate trade deals with allies in the Middle East considering the above. This is a good alternative. [Note: I wrote this PS on 15.07.2026]

In re: India & the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation 

Indian governments, in the past would literally beg to become a part of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

That made no sense for a Hindu majority country like India.

The present government stopped seeking to join this body and focused on bilateral relations with Muslim countries.

India has excellent bilateral relations with most Muslim countries & that is how it should be.

In re: A possible way forward in the war with Iran.

President Trump needs to take out Iran's civil aviation and border rail infrastructure.

This will make Iran's leadership completely dependent for travel on the Pakistanis and the Turks who the United States has leverage over.

In re: My whereabouts.

Misguided people tend to ask me whether I am in Delhi.

Anyone who knows me should be aware that I tend to be in the National Capital Territory of Delhi most of the time: 335+ days per annum usually. I hardly even visit National Capital Region cities like Gurugram.

If I have not met you it is because you have not given me a good reason to.

Be useful to me & I will endeavour to be useful to you.

PS: I have a way of gauging uselessness of people who make big claims - acquired this ability over years. So do not make me blacklist you.

In re: Satluj, 2026 being screened by the Akali Dal in Punjab

Hindus based in Punjab will & should continue to invest in Haryana & Delhi.

They can continue to live & work in Punjab but they should keep their options open. 

I always felt so - more so in light of what's happening with Satluj , 2026 including the BJP's pussy footing.

In re: What liberals will never accept.

Liberals will never accept the family systems in any society though many of them thrived on them.

Like the BHARATIYA CHUXXA who liked his wife to SLAVE making 'HAATH KA KHANA' but expects his son-in-law to be okay with his daughter retaining her father's surname, planning to delaying having kids et al.

PS: If you feel that I am targeting you or your father, I am. Screw you.

In re: President Trump's decision to lifts defense sanctions on Turkey, clearing way to sell Erdogan F-35s

This is a good decision. 

The United States should sell Turkiye these jets and take in the money.

Turkiye can be put in its place by whatever means necessary, if it tries to mess with Israel whether using such jets or otherwise.

In re: India's external affairs policies & outcomes 

Indonesia, the country with the world's largest Muslim population has conferred its highest honour on India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

While India's relationship with Israel has grown stronger, countries like Iran & Turkiye still trade with it..

The Muslim world will always lean towards Pakistan due to the 'Biradar Mulk' concept. However this government has managed to maintain relationships with Muslim countries while getting closer to Israel.

That said, it has failed when it comes to the most important relationship - the one with the United States of America.

In re: 'Satluj, 2026'

Khalistan supporters were in general more pragmatic than Kashmiri separatists & participated in the political system realising that they could not defeat the Indian state.

The sentiments exist & not merely at fringes.

The Central Government should always be vigilant.

Therefore I support the decision to ban 'Satluj, 2026' in India.

In re: 1983 pension scheme propounder, Kapil Dev's comments on a podcast with Vikrant Gupta.

A few things stand out:
1. Kapil Dev is an opportunist, even more so than people, me included, tend to be. He didn't speak on Imran Khan during a recent simulcast with Pakistani broadcasters because of contractual issues  He's now doing it on a podcast to get applause from emotional people everywhere including Bharatiya peopleS who have become PTI fans for weird reasons.
2. The action against Imran Khan has certainly been excessive. However Pakistan was never known for democracy, judicial independence & concepts of the like. Note: India has always been better than Pakistan on such issues but nowhere near where most developed countries are.
3. That said: Some of the cases against Imran Khan are credible. Assuming that he was personally honest, he certainly surrounded himself with dodgy characters & took low rent legal, financial & political advice.

PS: There is too mch black and white everywhere. Balance is needed.

In re: Prevalence of diabetes in India compared to Pakistan.

There is a lower prevalence of diabetes in India than in Pakistan. This could have a correlation with excess meat consumption among those Pakistani Muslims who have descended from Hindu castes/groups which were historically vegetarian.

Extensive research on this is necessary. The results of such research could benefit people around the world, not just in Pakistan.

I my case, while I eat meat, poultry & seafood, I tend to do so once or twice a week and when on vacations, on account of the Hindu caste groups of my parents.

Follow your genes, to the extent you find practical and possible.

In re: Initiation of talks between India & Pakistan, which the boss (President Trump) clearly wants.

I think it's mostly a question of who makes the first call.

This can be coordinated in a way that it is decided that PM Shehbaz Sharif calls PM Narendra Modi with clear instructions having been given to Indian media to not call this some kind of victory & in fact praise Shehbaz Sharif for it.

The other way around won't work because Pakistan's media isn't much of a problem except some anti Hindu crazies like Kiran Naz.

Indian media will fall in line behind the idea of talks if the PM wants it to & will find other ways to make money on the Pakistan issue - there is a peace economy in Indian media as well.

I attended peace ecomomy cringe upfront many years ago at a 5 Star Hotel in New Delhi, where ex PCB cricketer, Shoaib Akhtar and others dressed as mediaeval Muslim warriors to debate ex BCCI cricketers who were dressed as mediaeval Hindu ones. 

In te: Arabian Mandi in India 

I like what Indian restaurants have been doing with Mandi - using the concept & spicing things up to cater to mainstream Indian tastes.

I recently had a fantastic Mandi at 'Nawazish' during a visit to Bengaluru:

Please suggest places in Delhi NCR - only fine dining, not budget outlets.

In re: Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (AJK & GB)

The unrest in so called Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) arises from economic & political issues.

AJK is essentially like Jammu, in terms of ethnicity - most of its people are very Pakistani.

It is different from Gilgit Baltistan (GB) which is essentially like Ladhak & Kashmir in terms of ethnicity. However there does not appear to be any major unrest there. 

In any case, India should not get mixed up with any of these people. I cannot imagine that they can be favourably inclined towards Hindu majority India in any way except maybe short term opportunism.
