People bandying about that 2012 graph should check not just for max min temp ranges but also frequency distributions - my guess is there is a material change there
(sorry I can't be bothered to do it - the heat has me lazy)

If data and experience are at odds - either is wrong / inadequate Data capturing temperature & national forest cover doesn't solve for avg high temp experienced in your residential society of 5 towers with 300 ACs per building blasting away day and night Plz don't be an idiot

Is it only me who thinks Summers in India have always been crazy hot and has nothing to do with trees?

Then why are jungles of central India not recording 20 degree temperatures?

@bvlldhist_alt For me - my daily life is simply not expansive enough
Reading is an interesting way to get to know different places / ppl - but then even blogging and documentaries serve that purpose - purely a matter of preference
the self satisfaction in reading discourse is super annoying

@AlphaNaMila Many Bhook readers are escapists and snobs. Being escapist is usually cope for something. For me it was being locked in a tiny house and not being able to travel when I was younger. But it also makes you snobbish which adds to woes
English
The entire problem is positioning book reading as this great virtue
It is a hobby like any other
You do it to enjoy words and pass time

Average Bhook reader has travelled the world on Hemingway's fishing boat, evaluated cultures through Naipaul's sardonic lens. He has time travelled and space travelled, flirted up all the ladies through Ian Fleming's Vicarious Penis. Speaking to him is speaking to 100 different people except to his core which does not exist untampered and fashioned by fantasy. He still think it makes him a great investor

a lady on insta's entire persona is reading Chetan Bhagat passages in a snobbish voice cuz it apparently objectifies women
One of these days I plan to send her a Bagchi or Manju Kapur para disguised as CB
Ivy@AlphaNaMila
Yes My hot take is that the Indian litfic establishment 's hate for Chetan Bhagat is rooted in their (self) hatred of the cowbelt I can name you at least 4 authors who write similar themes but are literary cuz they play the tired tropes of old

@karteakk Your next literary Indian fiction read is more likely to be set in Kottayam or Kalimpong than Kanpur.

If you want to understand the scale of this image:-
Stream bottom = ~3500m (11,483 ft)
Annapurna Summit = 8091m (26,545 ft)
Vertical rise = ~4600m (15,091 ft)
That's nearly the entire height of Mont Blanc from near sea-level and could fit 5.5 Burj Khalifas stacked on top of each other. I was stunned & terrified when I witnessed this as a young hiker.

This is the most enviable characteristic of western society. Over there a nurse can quit at 50 to train as a commercial pilot, a marine can retrain as a kindergarten teacher at 38, a corporate lawyer can walk out at 45 to learn welding, a stay at home mom can start medical school in her forties, and nobody treats it as a tragedy or a scandal. The whole society is built to absorb a second, third, even fourth innings without flinching.
Meanwhile in vishwaguru, if you picked humanities without maths at 16 your obituary is already drafted, three failed JEE attempts means permanent underclass, dropping out in second year of College turns you into the cautionary tale trotted out at every family wedding for the next two decades, and a 35 year old trying to switch fields gets asked what went wrong in life.
No wonder we Indians end up so incurious, so afraid of change, so allergic to risk, and so comfortably settled into mediocrity.

On the contrary, SIPs are definitely meant to curtail volatility
(I have written about market depth here before)
Radhika Gupta@iRadhikaGupta
I am always reluctant to respond to such messages, because I do not make comments about individuals, but about narratives. The original article and post referenced here addressed narratives that call mutual funds a scam and retail investors silly. I stand by every word of that. Markets go through cycles, with periods of excess, correction, and everything in between. Outcomes are never uniform. In times of correction, crisis or war, any data or statistic will favour the critic. In a rally, the opposite is true. The reality, as always, lies somewhere in between. SIPs were never meant to eliminate volatility or losses. They are a disciplined way to participate through cycles, rather than attempt to time them. The mutual fund industry in India has always stood for long-term, disciplined, and diversified investing, encouraging investors to stay the course across market environments. Over time, this approach has proven more effective for most investors than more speculative or timing-led approaches (a simple check on F&O and direct equity outcomes may be helpful here). They must be judged over a long horizon. In the *very worst* case, a 10-year SIP in Edelweiss Midcap Fund has delivered ~10% XIRR, which is not a bad worse case outcome. The key is 10 years. For the average investor, the choice is not between perfection and imperfection, it is between discipline and speculation. Over time, disciplined investing in regulated financial products has consistently proven to be the more reliable path to wealth creation. Finally, it is easy to be cynical, but more rewarding to be optimistic. It is ultimately as the lines go not the critic who counts… the credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena. google.com/amp/s/www.mone…

If you see the stream of news coming from NDTV, you can parse the evolving stance of GoI.
Public service message to the various pocket Kissingers who may be a couple of days out of phase. You may need to pivot.
