Photo-ops and videos with ailing leaders in hospital beds are in very very poor taste. When will we learn. 🙏

My two bits - Removing LTCG only for FPI is unfair to domestic savers. It’s domestic investors who have saved Indian markets for last 10 years. It’s truly long term capital. Moreover, It will also start round tripping and hawala like it used to happen earlier when people would send their money abroad thru unofficial channels and bring thru FPI route to save tax and operate markets. I think it must be rationalised. Both STT and CG can’t exist. Remove CG and keep STT or other way around. If you keeping both, then give credit of STT as tax payment like TDS. Also pl reduce complexities involved in set off of LTCG with ST capital losses. There are lot of unnecessary complications. Eg, Long term capital loss can’t be set off against Short term capital gain.. there are many more like this across FY carry forward etc. @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia @PMOIndia @EconomicTimes @PMOIndia @SEBI_updates

62 days. Life imprisonment until the last breath. In the Kajal Baraiya murder case in Bhavnagar, swift investigation by Bhavnagar Police and a strong prosecution led to a landmark verdict. Gujarat's zero tolerance for crimes against women is clear. #Gujarat #Bhavnagar
Gujarat: A Hindu woman identified as Kajalben Baraiya was beaten to death by her live-in partner, Faizal, at Bhavnagar’s main ST bus stand. opindia.com/news-updates/guj… The horrific incident was captured on CCTV.

કાશ આટલી બધી ચિંતા આપણને નકલી ખાદ્ય સામગ્રી બનાવતા અને પિરસતા માણસો સામે હોત.. ત્યાં તો પીવા વાળાને ખબર જ છે કે એ દારૂ પીવે છે, અહીં તો ઘી, દૂધ, બટર, પનીર, ચીઝ, મસાલા, તેલ આ બધાના નામે ઝેર ખવડાવે છે. #naklidarubandhi #rajkot

It's just so sad to see this!!!! I don't drink, but imagine getting you life ruined because you attended a party. What if you chose to not drink? But the like & comment hungry mob doesn't care! The best time to end prohibition was 66 years ago, the 2nd best is now!
અરે... બાયું દિવાળીનાં ધુહ-ઝારા કરી ને થાકી ગઈ હોય! કમર, વાંહો, હાથ પગ દુખતા હોય! તો ય આ નિર્દયી સરકાર શાંતિથી 2 પેગ નથી પીવા દેતી લે!!😭 ** દુપટ્ટા કોઈ જજ નહીં કરે!

Either India has too much black money or savings rate is going down significantly. Everything is expensive in India relative to per capita GDP and income levels.
Try a similar breakfast at any airport. A simple black coffee cost 420 Rs at @CSMIA_Official T2 @Starbucks. Every food joint there is quite busy. Either everyone (except me) makes a lot of money or they simply don’t care.

દંભ અને દારૂ સાથે ના ચાલે, ગુજરાતી સમાજે દંભ છોડવો પડશે દારૂબંધીનો! તમે નીચે પૂછેલા કે કોઈ પણ મીડિયા એ કરેલા સવાલો પહેલા તો કોઈ ગંભીર નથી અને એ વાત જગજાહેર છે કે દારૂબંધી નાગરિક ના અચેતન મન પર થયેલું એક દમન છે. આવા દમન દંભ જ પેદા કરે!
ગુજરાતમાં દારૂબંધી હોવા છતાં રાજકોટની સરાઝા હોટલમાં સૌરાષ્ટ્રની સૌથી મોટી દારૂની રેવ પાર્ટી યોજાઈ હોવાના અહેવાલો અનેક ગંભીર સવાલો ઊભા કરે છે! દારૂ આવ્યો ક્યાંથી? આટલા મોટા પાયે આયોજન કોની રહેમ નજર હેઠળ થયું? બીજું કઈ નોટિસ કર્યું હોય તો કોમેન્ટ કરજો.... @hdraval93 @YAJadeja

Visualize apoptosis and remember that the T-cell needs both vitamin D and magnesium to be able to perform apoptosis.
🚨: You are watching a “soldier” of the immune system, a T cell (yellow), directly fighting a highly aggressive cancer cell (magenta). This is a microscopic battle that is taking place inside our body. 🧬

"Written in an ancient language". It's called Greek. Imagine being a Turkish archaeologist and nationalist, and in every excavation you do across Turkey, you find Greek inscriptions and antiquities. There is no greater curse. They are forced to live with it.

In India if you go out of your home and come alive back that itself is a luxury. You don't need to enter into a swimming pool to experience luxury.

Did Indo-European borrow its word for “two” from the Caucasus? Linguist Allan R. Bomhard (2008) proposed that Proto-Indo-European dwó- was borrowed from Northwest Caucasian tʼqʼo- rather than inherited from an earlier Indo-European root. A fascinating, though disputed, hypothesis.

The Indian Government saw Capital Markets as a place to collect revenue rather than as a place to create Wealth. Most of the IAS folks who work in the Finance Ministry do not even understand ABC of Capital markets. We have seen their world class Governance when they managed Naala Naalis of Indian towns and cities.
