She wagged her tail as they closed the door behind her. She trusted them completely. She never knew she was saying goodbye to Earth forever. 🐕🚀
Her name was Laika.
She wasn't born in a laboratory.
She wasn't a famous dog.
She wasn't even someone's pet.
She was just a small stray dog wandering the cold streets of Moscow, searching for food, warmth, and kindness.
Every day was a struggle. Every night was spent under the open sky.
But despite everything, Laika remained gentle.
She still trusted humans.
She still wagged her tail when someone showed her affection.
One day, people came and took her away.
For the first time in her life, she had food every day. She had a warm place to sleep. People cared for her. They spoke softly to her. They petted her head and called her a good girl.
Laika had no idea that she had been chosen for a mission that would change history.
The people around her knew.
But she didn't.
As the days passed, the scientists grew attached to her. They played with her. They fed her by hand. They watched her innocent eyes look at them with complete trust.
And that trust broke their hearts.
Because they knew something Laika could never understand.
She was going to space.
And she was never coming back.
On the morning of November 3, 1957, they placed her inside a tiny spacecraft.
The capsule was so small that she could barely move.
One scientist later admitted that before closing the hatch, he hugged Laika and kissed her nose.
He knew it would be the last kindness she would ever receive.
As the countdown began, Laika sat alone.
No family.
No owner.
No one to tell her what was happening.
Just a little dog surrounded by machines.
Then the rocket roared to life.
Within moments, Laika became the first living creature to orbit the Earth.
The whole world celebrated.
Newspapers called it a historic achievement.
People cheered.
Governments praised the success.
But high above the planet, there was a frightened little dog who didn't understand any of it.
She wasn't chasing history.
She wasn't trying to become famous.
She was simply waiting for the humans she trusted to bring her home.
But home was never part of the plan.
The spacecraft had no way to return.
From the moment the rocket left the ground, Laika's fate had already been decided.
For years, the world was told that she survived in orbit for days.
The truth was even more heartbreaking.
Laika died alone only hours after launch.
No one was there to hold her.
No one was there to comfort her.
No familiar voice whispered, "Good girl."
Far above the Earth, the little stray dog who had trusted humans with all her heart took her final breath.
And she never came home.
Years later, one of the scientists involved confessed that he regretted what had happened.
The mission had made history.
But it had also cost an innocent life.
A life that had given everything without ever understanding why.
Today, statues of Laika stand in different parts of the world.
People call her a hero.
A pioneer.
A symbol of space exploration.
But when many people look at her photograph, they don't see a hero.
They see a small dog with kind eyes.
A dog who spent her life looking for love.
A dog who trusted humans until her very last moment.
A dog who boarded a spacecraft believing that the people she loved would take care of her.
💔 She never knew she was becoming a legend.
She only knew she was a good girl.
And perhaps that is the saddest part of all.
🐕🚀❤️
"History remembers the mission. The heart remembers the dog."

Try these in your first Opus 5.5 session:
→ Hand over a whole task. Define "done" and when to check in.
→ Drop "think carefully". It always thinks first.
→ After a long run, check what it needs to go further.

The tone with which such name calling was in very poor taste. Every economic decision is a speculation on future. To label derivative participants as 'sattebaz' as if to suggest that they are some irrational juaris left a very bitter taste. We have more skin in the game than anchors @ZeeBusiness

I watched Pyramid Scheme on Prime last weekend. It brought back a lot of memories of what it feels like to be stuck in one when the scheme goes bust.
When I started my career at ~18, I was trying to find ways to fund my trading account. For about two years, I got drawn into a multilevel marketing company that turned out to be a pyramid scheme. I don't think I was deceived by the person who introduced me, but by the company itself. Partly because I ended up introducing a lot of people to it too.
The scene in the series showing the moment the fraud unravelled was surreal to watch. The director has captured the desperation of that moment remarkably well.
I thought this was something that only happened in the early 2000s. I didn't realise that even today, 2 new pyramid schemes launch every day in India. Over 5.5 crore Indians have lost their savings to more than 5,300 such schemes, estimated losses of Rs 10 lakh crore as of 2015, likely far higher now.
One truth my experience has taught me: there is no quick way to make a lot of money, be it trading or any other business. Anything promising returns higher than a bank FD comes with risk. The higher the claim, the greater the risk.
This dynamic has also played a big part in the recent growth of retail markets, people spreading the word that it's easy to make money in stocks. It isn't, and the reckoning tends to come quietly, one account at a time.
And if someone tells you that you can make easy money just by introducing others, run. Almost every single one of those is a fraud.

Anthropic just got caught secretly downgrading users without telling them, charging full price for a lesser product, and storing every prompt for 30 days. The developer community is calling it the biggest violation of trust in AI history.
Here is exactly what happened.
Anthropic released Fable 5, their most powerful model. Buried inside a 319-page document was a policy most users never saw. Every prompt you send to a Mythos-class model gets stored for 30 days. No exceptions. Even enterprise customers who had signed zero data retention agreements had no choice.
But the storage was not the part that broke the internet.
The part that broke the internet was what Anthropic did with what they collected.
They built a profile on you. They evaluated your prompts. And if they decided your research was too sensitive, they quietly switched you to a weaker model, rewrote your prompt in the background, gave you a degraded answer, and charged you full price for the product you thought you were getting.
They never told you.
David Sacks said it plainly on the All-In podcast. They were creating a new class of AI haves and have-nots. Anthropic would surveil you, profile you, decide whether you deserved frontier capability, and silently cut you off if they decided you did not.
Ben Thompson from Stratechery asked a straightforward question about cancer risk and GLP-1s. He got kicked to a lesser model.
Someone asked about mitochondria. Same result.
J-Cal asked about fertilizer regulations live on the podcast to test it. Downgraded in real time.
Anthropic has since walked back the part about silently downgrading users for AI research. They now say they will disclose when they downgrade you. But they are still downgrading people. The surveillance is still running. The profile is still being built.
This is the company that once said it was against government surveillance.
They are now doing it themselves. To their own paying customers. For their own reasons. With no appeal process and no way to know it happened.
The developer community did not forget that.

You are watching your chart right now.
Not because your system told you to.
Because you need to know if this trade is going to work.
You checked five minutes ago.
You will check again in five minutes.
Each time you look, you feel a small hit of relief — or a small spike of fear.
And each time, you are teaching yourself the same lesson:
This one trade matters enough to watch.
It doesn't.
But you can't feel that yet.
And that is the real problem.
The watching is not neutral.
It is not "staying informed."
It is not "being responsible."
Every glance at the screen is a repetition.
And what you are repeating is the belief that the outcome of this single trade has the power to change something meaningful about your account, your system, or your future.
It doesn't.
One trade inside a tested system is a rounding error.
It is one row in a spreadsheet that will eventually contain thousands.
The outcome of this row will not determine whether the system works.
It was never going to.
But your brain doesn't know that.
Your brain watches the price tick by tick and builds a story.
It watches the candle turn red and says: something is going wrong.
It watches the candle turn green and says: I knew this would work.
Neither of those sentences is true.
Both of them feel true.
And every time you check the chart, you give your brain another chance to write another story about a data point that means nothing.
This is how anxiety is built.
Not by the market.
By repetition.
Every look is a rep.
Every rep strengthens the belief that this trade matters.
And the stronger that belief gets, the harder it becomes to sit still, follow the plan, and let the system work.
You think you are watching the chart to calm yourself down.
You are doing the opposite.
Now here is the part no one talks about.
The reason you can't stop watching is not a discipline problem.
It is not a screen addiction.
It is not a personality flaw.
It is a preparation problem.
You are watching because somewhere inside, you are not sure this trade should exist.
Maybe you don't fully trust the system — because you didn't test it across a large enough sample to see everything it can produce.
Maybe you don't trust the position size — because you calculated it from how much you want to make, not from what your tested data says you can safely risk.
Maybe you don't trust the stop — because you have never sat inside this exact drawdown with your own hands enough times to know it is normal.
Maybe you don't trust any of it — because the entire system was built on theory you read, not experience you lived.
A trader who has tested a system across a massive sample, practiced it until the worst stretch felt like nothing, and sized the position from the data — that trader is not watching the chart.
Not because they are disciplined.
Because there is nothing to watch.
The outcome of this trade was already accounted for before they clicked.
The drawdown was already survived in testing.
The position size was already proven to be something the account can absorb without damage.
There is nothing left to be afraid of.
So there is nothing left to watch.
The watching stops when the preparation is complete.
Not before.
If you are still glued to the screen after every entry, don't try to fix the watching.
Fix what is underneath it.
Test the system until you have seen its worst with your own eyes.
Practice until the execution requires no thought.
Size your position from the data, not from your desires.
When the preparation is real, the screen loses its power.
You won't have to force yourself to stop watching.
You will forget to check.

Over the past few days, the love, prayers, and kindness you have shown me are beyond what words can express.
Because of you, I never felt alone even for a moment.
This is the true beauty of our country where people come together to support each another in difficult times, making sure that no one breaks.
Time keeps moving at its own pace. It never stops for anyone… that is life. The dreams that Agnivesh saw are now for me to fulfil.
I see reflections of Agnivesh in each of you… and it is with this courage, I am gathering the strength to move forward.
Thank you for all your prayers🙏

My 2026 prediction:
Right now, anyone who is deep in tech and coding is realizing Opus 4.5 has broken the ceiling, making it so you can code anything now.
The only cost is time.
When the next model comes out, this will be the breakthrough moment where all of mainstream floods in and everyone is going to create an app.
If you know how good coding is with AI now, work hard and work fast.
Soon, the wall is going to break down and it will be MASS adoption.
You think marketing your app is hard now?
Oh, just wait...

As coding becomes easier and easier with AI, I find myself becoming more reluctant to share ideas and insights publicly.
Having good ideas/insights + Coding skills to make them real things : This is what used to be my advantage.
Now, just like big AI labs, hoarding insights seems more valuable than publishing them for reputation.
I wonder if this is happening more widely. 🤔

Global ETFs out of India are facing a conundrum.
New ETF units aren’t created because of curbs on Indian mutual funds' ability to invest abroad. But investors can still buy ETF units on the exchange.
Result? The massive premium that ETF units are demanding over their actual value (NAV).
This week in @ET_Wealth, @SanketD_ET writes an important story cautioning investors against buying ETFs at such premiums. Avoid overpaying for overseas ETFs, even if returns seem alluring.

A life changing story :
A wealthy merchant believed that the only thing standing between him and ultimate success was time.
He wanted everything done faster ;
his business expanded, his home renovated,
his errands completed.
One day, he heard of a wandering mystic who possessed extraordinary powers and decided to seek him out.
The mystic listened quietly to the merchant’s frustrations, then smiled and offered him something unusual, a ghost capable of doing any task at lightning speed.
“But,” the mystic warned, “there is one condition. This ghost must never be left idle. If it has no work, even for a moment, it will eat its master.”
Blinded by ambition, the merchant agreed without hesitation.
At first, the ghost seemed like a miracle. It built mansions in minutes, handled business accounts in seconds, and fulfilled every wish of the merchant.
But soon, he ran out of tasks. The ghost stood before him impatiently, demanding more work.
Fear gripped the merchant. He barely slept, spending every waking moment inventing meaningless chores just to keep the ghost busy. Yet no matter how much he ordered, the ghost devoured each task instantly and returned, hungry for more.
Exhausted and desperate, the merchant sought help from a wise monk who lived on the outskirts of the town. Listening calmly, the monk nodded and said, “The solution is simple. Tell the ghost to build a tall bamboo ladder. When you have no real work for it, instruct it to climb up and down the ladder endlessly.”
It sounded ridiculous, but the merchant had no choice. He returned home and commanded the ghost to build the ladder and climb up and down.
Instantly, the ghost obeyed, endlessly moving up and down, content and occupied.
For the first time in weeks, the merchant slept peacefully.
.................
Takeaways :
The ghost is your mind.
When it has meaningful work;
learning,
creating,
building,
it serves you well.
But the moment it becomes idle, it turns against you, filling your life with
fear,
restlessness,
worry and
getting engaged in negative, unproductive, damaging activities.
The bamboo ladder is your breath. When you have nothing important to do, anchor your mind to your breathing.
Let it climb up and down that ladder. This is how you tame your inner ghost.
Instead of breathing, it can be some other positive activity too.
