I am willing to lay the opposite bet. I was with the 3 foreign tourists recently in India for a few days. When you look at it from the lens of F2 tourists, barring Taj Mahal & Rajasthan Palace Hotels, there is nothing else that they want to see here with they cannot get anywhere else. ( And of course the approach to the Taj ,less said the better) International cards don't work in many many places. They don't want to carry a lot of cash around because of safety. The dirt, squalor ( just outside beautiful Deer park in Delhi, there is a dump truck permanently parked and never cleaned. Non existent roads and payments in most parts Terrible driving ethics whether it is on red light or coming the same way in a one way road whether it is within the city or on highways People who are not cultured or polite or even with basic manners of holding doors open or saying thank you Eg, Goa could have been our Bali , Phuket. But for that we need a swinging liberal culture not moral policing. And yes we need garbage free roads. Out of the 90 lakh tourists every year that come, I am counted a minimum of 20 times because I visit India that many times per year. NRIs are probably 40- 50% of that number. Genuine F2s, F2- esses are probably half. Other countries have not stood still and they have executed. People want amazing places to spend money on. Bali has 80 lakh tourists. Happening night life. Super cheap. Phuket too. Vietnam. Here we only talk and that's where it ends. But yes, this opportunity is a permanent past , present and future opportunity

@ravimane53 Steve Bucknor was hands down the toughest

The kind of bowlers Sachin and Virat faced. 🥵

@stats_feed That's not India. Ignore.

🇮🇳 India became the HOTTEST nation on earth this week with 92–100 of the world’s 100 hottest cities!

@ICICIPruLife My health savings benefit claim is rejected for no valid reason. Need help for understanding the exact valid reason.

@justSidAnand That proves Zakir's point 👍🏾

Juhu - Bandra peeps have given all ATBB’s since the past 50 years. You have to be a real duffer to undermine their contribution 😂

@saveworld0007 @suru27 Not really. @Prakashplutus is 100% invested. That's market. Two supremely experienced and talented folks having diff approach at the same juncture. And I admire both.

@suru27 when market goes down every one is in cash

The only difference between 2019 and now is the amount of cash I am holding vs 2019. Cash is a position . Takes cycles to understand.

@safiranand Loved the line " This time will also revert to mean" 👍🏾

Look you may wonder why there is silence. Because having a view is dependant on an outlook. I am not a trader and hence can’t comment on day to day mkt. Nor will I get that right. In fact as good as a toss of a coin where I may or may not be right. I am a reader of businesses. Businesses are facing short term issues on commodities. Specially oil and gas. Banks were sold last few days because a) they are very liquid b) fii have sold in general c) hdfc bank turned many eye balls d) today there is rbi circular effect e) pvt banks have under performed and strained returns of many While there is a lot of to and fro on the Middle East front, I don’t take it as an extreme. While it’s not settled I don’t take it that talks are not on. So many countries have stepped in. Some are increasing output. The strait news is not entirely negative as ships are passing though slowly. Tough times are usually a pre cursor to strengthening of countries and companies. India is awakening to more options and becoming more energy focussed. So will companies. Valuations are reasonable to even 30 year averages. Interest rates will reduce and benefit cos. So far demand is alive. Stocks returns are depressed partly due to fii selling and partly due to fatigue. I don’t blame anyone as it’s human to so behave. It’s annoying. It tests patience. It impacts capital that bears a cost. There are zero tweets now on multi baggers. Pessimism isn’t always selling- it’s also lack of interest to buy. Which looks evident. Ask any broker. He will say no large investor is aggressive as they have all money tied up and tired. Promoter buying has resumed. Specially in small caps. Let’s assume no return for another month or two or three. And if after that we recoup- the recoup itself can be a sizeable return. Today it’s taken as granted that nifty will fall. Ppl are more confident on fall than not. Things get back to basics. Mean reversion. Value is re discovered and then stories are carved on that. Growth stands out as if to show off. I’m not saying “this time is different” I’m saying “this time will also revert to mean”. Humanity has solved more than not. D- personal opinion. Can be wrong. Not an advise but to seek advise of those who are worthy and matter

@suru27 Lucid...

10 Learnings from last 10 year of active investing Been an active investor since 2015-16 with decent time allocated for investing 2017: Moons were shown during 2017 end with SME garnering limelight , it was followed by one of most brutal price and time correction in broader market 2018-19: When I was investing aggressively with monthly savings, many called it sheer madness and foolish to invest in Indian smallcaps when FIIs have lost trust over India. Many of those stocks in 5 years turned big multibaggers 2020: When valuations were mouth watering , many popular super intellectual fund managers were highly cautious and only when momentum came back, they changed stance. Theory n practical r not same 2020-21: The seeds and rewards of 2018-19 were reaped and reaped well 2022: Small pause with 20%+ correction lasted 15-16 months before another bull run started with double digit growth n margin expansion from attractive valuation of 17-19x leading to 40-80% return at index level in 2 years and higher at stocks 2023-24: Rewards of 2022 seeds reaped 2025-26: Now hearing similar tone on India I used to hear during 2018-19, however, geopolitics is more complicated, disruptions are more complicated, valuations in broader market are much better than 2024 but still not there like 2018-19. We have come below the historic median at best on most indices . Ultrasmallcap does have broader attractive valuation but liquidity missing 10 things I have learnt in all these cycles are (valid for me, may or may not for others): 1. Stay 100 meters away from perma bulls and perma bears 2. Stay 1000 metres away from those who are bullish at extremely high valuation and bearish at lower valuation. 3. There is no need to take extreme stands. Investing is not about 100% invested or 100% cash all the time. There is a life in between that which requires thinking in probabilities. Build skills to think in probabilities 4. Asset allocation matters. Cash is a position . In my last 5 years of teaching , this is something I have kept on teaching but very few get it. Portfolio management skills are much more important than individual stock buy or sell decisions. Unfortunately , it's least discussed topic in investing 5. Use systems built over data as we are humans and we are emotional. Systems are the best unbiased guide. The maximum amount of time gone to build systems to be the devil's advocate. Process, rules, algorithms, principles - all are part of system. Measurable and objective 6. Stay away as much from social media groups. The reason I stay on twitter is for business purposes, let me blunt else I would be in deactivated mode with very selective reading . Except 2-3 WA groups, I quit most groups or not active. Investing is very personal 7. Invest only that much so that I can sleep in peace. If can't sleep in peace, returns are of no use 8. Every bull and bear market will have a new story but it's the same old wine in new bottle - greed and fear is the same old wine, bottle keeps changing . Master understanding the wine (the behavior), not the bottle - the size, shape, color etc etc will keep changing every week. Let the news channels n chai pakaudi gang of social media keep debating the everyday changing bottle. 9. In equity, we cannot have all the answers all the time and when we have it, the price does not remain there. Learn to live with uncertainty through risk management . Whether investor or trader - We are in the business of risk management . Call it trader's stoploss or investors margin of safety. Better the risk management , better the returns. 10. Above all, hearing X generating Y% CAGR this that. There could always be someone above us and sometimes below us. Our competition should be with self to improve. Competing with others is also ok but if leads to jealousy, sadness, anger, short term routes to bypass core philosophy, lack of peace or sleep, the CAGR is of no use. Wish you a happy and peaceful investing journey

@rushikesh_agre_ Please make the weekend bearable

From today temperatures in Mumbai will start to fall around 3-4 degrees. Tomorrow onwards 6 degree fall. Santacruz & West Mumbai will be back to 32-34°C in next 48 hours.

@KirtiAzaad Take a print of your post. Make a thin roll. And you know where to put it.

SHAME ON TEAM INDIA! 😡 When we won the World Cup under Kapil Dev in 1983, we had Hindu Muslim Sikh and Christian in the team. We brought the trophy to our religious birth place our motherland India Bharat Hindustan Why The Hell Is The Indian Cricket Trophy is being Dragged. Why NOT a Mosque? Why NOT a Church? Why NOT a Gurudwara? This Team Represents INDIA — not Surya Kumar Yadav's or Jay Shah's Family ! Siraj never paraded it at a Mosque. Sanju never took it to a Church. latter had a major part to play and was man of the tournament. The Trophy Belongs to 1.4 BILLION Indians of EVERY Faith — NOT ONE RELIGION'S VICTORY LAP! #T20WorldCup2026final #IndiaVsNewZealand #TeamIndia

@safiranand @Jaspritbumrah93 He will win us this

I reiterate @Jaspritbumrah93 is a class apart. No matter what his presence directly pumps up my hopes

@safiranand Achhe dilwaalon ki uparwala hamesha sunta hai. God bless you 🙏🏾

@ThersNoSpoon Will. Abhi mkt bhi sun le…..

Predicated 250 got 253. That’s good enough for my feel good. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

@aditya_kondawar Mastach. One more thing, if your friend or relative starts a business...visit, congratulate and purchase something. And plz don't ask for free or special discount.. Let the business survive and settle...fir jitna chahiye kaato apne dost ko.

This is such an amazing video (in Marathi) The lesson is that if someone you know starts a business, support them and pull them up. Don't pull them down :) My Dad has always taught me that support is not always money - It can be even encouraging words, and getting people connected, especially if they have a new business!

@kanodiaankit12 Agree with the core message but the 3rd example isn't correct, one can't (shouldn't) say I ran 70 marathons after walking 10K steps per day.

Consistency 💪

@MichaelVaughan Half glass empty

What about Test cricket ?

@hyderabaddoctor Thank you for the prompt answer doc 🙏🏾. Could you plz also help me with guidelines about how to maintain sustained running in lower zones. I am almost always in zone4/5. I want to be in the Zone3 for the most part.

@ThersNoSpoon Both are good, and have their own benefits. Do what you like- and preferably, combine running and cycling (on different days of the week).

Running vs Lifting weights (Strength training) If you had to choose only ONE… which is better for long-term health? ▶️Imagine two 35-year-olds: Person A Runs 45 min, 5 days/week Person B Lifts weights 45 min, 5 days/week Both eat well and sleep 7–8 hours. Fast-forward 10 years ⏩ ▶️What does science tell us? 1. Weight & belly fat ➡️ Running wins More calorie burn, better visceral fat reduction 2. Blood pressure ➡️ Running wins Aerobic exercise lowers BP more consistently 3. Blood sugar / diabetes risk ➡️ Near tie Running improves insulin sensitivity Strength training builds muscle, resulting in better glucose disposal 4. Lipids (cholesterol, TGs) ➡️ Running wins 5. Heart attack & stroke risk ➡️ Running wins clearly Higher cardiorespiratory fitness (higher VO2 max) is associated with lower CV events & mortality 6. Cancer risk ➡️ Running has stronger evidence Lower risk of colon, breast & endometrial cancers 7. Longevity (living longer) ➡️ Running wins Aerobic fitness (VO₂ max) is one of the strongest predictors of survival 💪 But strength training has its own superpower ➡️ Muscle & bone preservation Prevents sarcopenia, frailty, falls and loss of independence with ageing ✅The honest takeaway If forced to pick only one for long-term metabolic health & longevity → Aerobic exercise (running) wins But this is NOT a “ditch the gym” message. 🏆 The real winner? The person who combines BOTH: 1. Running (aerobic exercise) on 3–4 days/week 2. Strength training on 2–3 days/week ▶️That combination: ✔️ Reduces heart attack, stroke & cancer risk ✔️ Improves BP, sugars & lipids ✔️ Preserves muscle, bone & independence ✔️ Maximizes lifespan and healthspan Dr Sudhir Kumar, Hyderabad @hyderabaddoctor

This picture isn’t just about the difference between two women — it’s a difference in lifestyle. Both are 52 years old, but one has taken care of her body, diet, and mental health, while the other has spent her life overwhelmed by work, neglecting herself. Our body is our home — the more we neglect it, the faster it will break down. Time, age, busyness — these are not excuses. Set aside a little time for yourself every day, Exercise a bit, eat right, and love your body. Because a _healthy body_ isn’t just about looking good — It makes life longer, stronger, and happier ❤️
