We hear about some constables to low level officers amassing say even Rs.100 crores through corruption. This is the kind of wealth even many successful entrepreneurs and professionals cannot build in their entire life time. We are one of the very corrupt societies in the world.

Have met a lot of funds in Singapore and Dubai last 2 weeks. One thing is for sure, they all see a huge opportunity in Indian markets but extremely demotivated to invest in India due to tax structure and currency risks. They make far better adjusted returns with zero taxes other places. Let’s face it! A country cannot grow without foreign capital infusion coming in. Within India development is good but rotating our own money won’t make sense! We need capital coming from outside. India is assembly hub and not manufacturing like China. Neither do we have any AI edge. Hence, ease of capital structures and taxes is the need of the hour! Of course, A lot of benami capital would get rotated but it’ll come back to India only, how does it matter? Let’s not see all with same eyes. Let’s see the larger picture! @nsitharaman Before rupee hits century against dollar, let’s hit SIX by reducing taxes for FIIs

इस तरह कूलर तो देश का प्रधानमंत्री भी साथ में लेकर नहीं चलता, भारत एक बाबा प्रधान देश है 🤣

India is already facing serious pressure on its balance of payment: Oil prices have risen recently, remittances from overseas Indians have fallen, and foreign capital has been fleeing the country. On top of that, as an emerging economy, capital is the scarcest resource it needs for its development anyway. So why are Indian companies still committing to huge investments in the United States? It seems the US really treats India as its “blood bag”—a source to suck blood from and keep itself alive. Through a series of geopolitical maneuvers that were not aimed at India but weakened India greatly anyway, Washington made it much easier to do three things: 1) sell high-priced oil and natural gas to India; 2) sell expensive weapons systems to India; and 3) squeeze out large investment commitments from Indian tycoons. in.usembassy.gov/record-20-5-bi…

The situation has been so bad recently that the INR has even depreciated by 11.5% against the PKR in last one year.

I just checked my latest Electricity Bill With all the move towards using energy efficient lights and gadgets ( where revised star rating norms have increased the cost of most products) I have seen that our households per month unit consumption is down nearly 20% over the last 2 years. However per unit costs have gone upto Rs 12/unit ( should have declined with all the Solar PPA's at Rs 2.5-3.5/unit) On top of that Fixed Charges+Wheeling Charges+Electricity Duty+Maharashtra Electricity Duty takes the per unit cost upto Rs 18 per unit

Had a consultation today with someone running Ketu Mahadasa- People who call it spiritual - yes only spirit is left, everything else gone. #astrology

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.” The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

@adskas06 @nishkumar1977 @jat_in17 Depends on what kind.... A highly inflated-bought apartment/houses won't suffice especially on keverage. Strategic commercial places with high rental dividend or plots of land with immense futuristic value ( minimal maintainanace) are perfect assets during the coming times.

@nishkumar1977 @jat_in17 @TonyLKocherry @nishkumar1977 Sir, isn't real estate also 'real asset'? Then why do you say that it feel the pain and not rise like commodities?

Currency becomes toilet paper! Hold the real thing, not paper. It is losing value as we speak!!

The more the population , the more they are impoverished , poorly educated and hungry , the easier it is for the politicians to control them . Mould them through chaos/ local film industry/ freebies for votes and power. It's a well thought strategic plan

Why does a country's currency weakens? Key reasons are 1. Capital flight 2. Low interest rates 3. High trade deficits You cannot manage currency fall by putting restrictions, the more restrictions you put more capital will leave the country.
