Punctuality is not just about ''Being on Time.'' 🌿 Its basically about ''Respecting our own Commitment"

Have you noticed the fancier the restaurant, the heavier the cutlery? This is because experiments show that the same meal tastes better with weighty cutlery. A 2016 study from Charles Spence at the University of Oxford found that we're prepared to pay more for the exact same meal when we dig into it with a heavier fork. This happens because of the cross-modal correspondence effect - our tendency to connect one sense (e.g. weight) with another unrelated sense (e.g. taste). To test this, Spence placed 121 people at different tables in an expensive restaurant. Some tables had light canteen cutlery, while others had heavy cutlery. Afterwards, everyone rated the food and how much they'd pay for it. He found that diners who had heavier cutlery not only gave a 12% higher rating for the same food, but were also prepared to pay 16% more for the meal. Heaviness boosted perceptions of quality, in turn increasing willingness to pay. That's something to think about during product development - can you make your item or its accessories heavier? Or, more simply, if you're in the F&B business, can you serve drinks out of heavier glasses or give heavier cutlery? This is one of the insights we chatted about in our new episode of Behavioral Science for Brands with MichaelAaron Flicker. We also looked at three other biases for making your product more appealing: 💡 Most Advanced Yet Acceptable - why innovative products need to strike a balance between novelty and familiarity 🍹 Implied Social Proof - how distinctive design can create the impression that your product is very popular (even when it isn't yet) 🔊 The Crunch Effect - how you can boost perceptions of freshness by making your food crunchier 🎧 Listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/77jVcx… 🎧 Listen on Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… 🎧 Listen on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=DCYyg-… Let me know your thoughts!

@b50 I had this coffee at carter Road recently

The best coffee in Mumbai? That's easy. It's the humble cycle wallah serving Nescafe in a chintu paper cup. The best ambience? Have it at 1.30am and you're alone on Carter Road and wondering on your miseries. Then you see how mad this city is. That's the best coffee.

@Wegiveyouhealt1 I am your fan. Always look out for your tweets.

Anant Ambani has launched Vantara Creamery, a new ice cream brand from A2 Gir cow milk, including Malai Kulfi, Guava Chilli, Filter Coffee, Kesar Peda, and Butter Caramel. Indian billionaires has massive wealth and capital, yet most big business families still can’t move beyond campa cola, chai, masala, namkeen-type businesses. Meanwhile, Western billionaires are building companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, and Meta that are shaping the future. For a country with this much talent and money, we still think too small.

@ok6ixx Beautiful 👌👍

I borrowed an umbrella from my Airbnb host in Kyoto. I forgot to return it when I checked out, and realized when I was already on the train to Osaka. I felt terrible. It was a nice umbrella, not a cheap one. I messaged the host apologizing. She responded: "No problem! Enjoy the umbrella. It's yours now." I said I'd mail it back. She said "please don't. Postage costs more than an umbrella. Just use it and think of Kyoto when it rains." I insisted I wanted to return it. She said "okay, but I have a different idea. Next time you see someone who needs an umbrella and doesn't have one, give them this umbrella. Tell them to do the same when they are finished with it. Maybe an umbrella travels all around Japan helping people." That idea was so beautiful I agreed. Two weeks later I was in Hiroshima and it started pouring. A woman with a baby was standing under an awning looking stressed. No umbrella, the baby was crying. I walked over and gave her the umbrella. Told her the story in broken Japanese. She understood enough. She tried to refuse but I insisted. Told her "when you're done with it, give it to someone else who needs it." She nodded, said thank you about ten times, and hurried off with her baby. I got soaked walking back to my hotel but felt good about it. Sometimes I wonder where that umbrella is now. Hope it's still traveling, still helping people.

Mumbai sweltered under intense heat on Saturday as temperatures in several suburbs climbed close to the 40-degree mark, making for a hot and humid weekend. Ram Mandir emerged as the hottest spot at 39°C, followed closely by Vikhroli at 38.8°C and Chembur at 36.6°C. Other parts of the city too recorded elevated temperatures, with Vidyavihar and Dahisar touching 35.7°C, while Bandra logged 35.4°C. Adding to the discomfort were high humidity levels, with the Colaba observatory recording 90% humidity and Santacruz 75%, resulting in sticky conditions across Mumbai.

@drsunita02 True. They want to go past you before you take that turn as if some sort of race is on. 🙂

I am in my small car. I give left indicator and am turning left into the side road. There is a 2 wheeler on my left side. He has already seen my indicator and has also noticed that I have slowed down and am turning. Yet, he cuts straight across. He wants to go straight. Majority of times in these scenarios, the 2 wheelers come in the blind spot of the car driver. We can't see the 2 wheeler. How can the 2 wheeler assume that I know that he wants to go straight? What goes in the mind of the 2 wheeler? Not always the 4 wheeler driver is at fault. So many times, 2 wheeler guys are at fault and drive rashly. #Safedriving

What is Hawala Transaction? How it Works & How Govt Traces It 🚨 1. What is Hawala?: - ➡️Hawala is an informal money transfer system where money is transferred without actual cross-border movement of funds through banking channels. ➡️It operates outside RBI-regulated systems. ➡️No SWIFT. No bank trail. No official record. ➡️Completely illegal in India under FEMA & PMLA. 2. Why is it used?: - 🔹 Avoid tax 🔹 Move black money 🔹 Bypass forex regulations 🔹 Fund illegal activities 🔹 Avoid TDS/GST trail It’s commonly linked with tax evasion, terror funding & money laundering. 3. How Hawala Works (Simple Example): - Let’s say: A in India wants to send ₹50 lakh to B in Dubai. Instead of bank transfer: ➡️ A gives cash to Hawala operator (H1) in India ➡️ H1 contacts H2 in Dubai ➡️ H2 pays equivalent amount to B in Dubai No physical cross-border money movement. Only trust & coded communication. 4. How Hawala Operators Settle Accounts?: - They settle through: 🔹 Trade mis-invoicing (Over/Under billing) 🔹 Gold smuggling 🔹 Cash couriers 🔹 Crypto layering 🔹 Benami property transactions 🔹 Shell companies Settlement happens later through adjustment entries. 5. Legal Provisions Involved 🚨: - Hawala attracts action under: ▪️ FEMA, 1999 ▪️ Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) ▪️ Income Tax Act (Undisclosed income) ▪️ IPC provisions (criminal conspiracy) Penalties can include: ✔️ Heavy fines ✔️ Confiscation of assets ✔️ Arrest & prosecution 6. How Government Traces Hawala? 🕵️‍♂️: - Despite no banking trail, agencies trace through: 🔎 Suspicious cash deposits 🔎 Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) reports 🔎 STR (Suspicious Transaction Reports) 🔎 Data analytics & AI tracking 🔎 Phone surveillance & call records 🔎 WhatsApp/Telegram chat recovery 🔎 Seizure of “Hawala diaries” 7. Role of Income Tax & ED: - Income Tax Department: 👉 Tracks unexplained cash 👉 Conducts search & seizure (Sec 132) 👉 Uses data matching from AIS/TIS Enforcement Directorate (ED): 👉 Investigates money laundering 👉 Attaches properties 👉 Files ECIR under PMLA 8. Modern Detection Methods: - Today’s system uses: 📊 PAN-Aadhaar linking 📊 High-value transaction reporting 📊 GST data cross-matching 📊 Import-export invoice scrutiny 📊 Benami property tracking Big data + AI = Reduced anonymity. 9. Real Risk for Businesses: - Even genuine businesses can get trapped if: ⚠️ Dealing with cash-heavy vendors ⚠️ Engaging in bogus billing ⚠️ Using accommodation entries One hawala link can trigger: Income tax raid + GST investigation + ED inquiry. 10. Final Take: - ➡️Hawala may look “invisible” ➡️But in the digital era, financial footprints always exist. ➡️Cash trails, phone records, GST data & analytics eventually expose the network ➡️Compliance is cheaper than litigation. 🚨Disclaimer: ➡️This content is published strictly for educational and awareness purposes. We do not endorse, promote, or support tax evasion, hawala transactions, money laundering, or any unlawful financial activity in any manner whatsoever. ➡️The objective of this post is to explain the legal framework and enforcement mechanisms for public knowledge.

Important : The Census 2027 exercise has begun from today, May 1, in Maharashtra. The first phase involves self-enumeration by citizens. Between May 1 and May 15, citizens are required to complete their details online by registering at se.census.gov.in and answering a set of 33 questions. Authorities say the process takes around 10 minutes. This will be followed by a verification phase from May 16 onward, during which enumerators will visit households to validate the information submitted online. The final phase will begin in 2027, involving full door-to-door enumeration. The BMC said it has deployed around 25,000 personnel for the exercise, and citizens are expected to participate and provide accurate information when approached.

@AshutoshRaiK @CaVivekkhatri @Stocki_zen Great 👍 but why do all countries keep so much outside in a third country and not in their own.

@arifmonline @CaVivekkhatri @Stocki_zen I think our 50% gold was in uk. So Modi govt is trying to bring back that slowly in small lots as permitted by BoE. It is supposed to be done silently and safely over few years of time period

🇮🇳 India’s Gold Is Coming Home Here’s Why In 1991, India had 14 days of money left. So the government secretly airlifted 47 tonnes of gold to London. At 3 AM. Without telling the Cabinet. When the public found out they were furious. The government that authorized it FELL. 35 years later: RBI just brought 77% of India's gold BACK home. $108 billion. 680 tonnes. Zero press conference. Here's that full story and what it means for your money ↓ 🧵

@VAIBHAVTUPE Wonderful articulation 👏👌👍

Inflation shall be conceived as rate of dilution. Why does it seem like everything's more expensive?. if your company agree to pay you 15 lacs per annum for your current job, the burden is now on the company every year to try to grow that number, just to keep up with inflation. So 15 lacs will be worth less, you know, next year than it is this year. It'll be worth even less two years from now. And if you look at the money supply growth in India , it is historically (last 25 years) grows by something like 12% per year, on average, M3 money supply growth. And if you look at what people are able to increase their salaries by every year from last 10 years, it might might be 4 to 5%. it's rarely 8 to 10% unless they got a major promotion. Basically, if they're doing similar work, they're unlikely to keep getting these 10% hike or a bonus and then so after, say, a five year 10 year stretch, they're getting a smaller share of the money supply than they were five or 10 years ago, just by having their salary grow more slowly than the currency debasement. This gap of 8% (M3 money supply growth -12% - average salary growth - 4%) results in dilution of your purchasing power by almost 27% over the next 10 years. We always think of like debasement and inflation as impacting people's savings, but it also impacts their income.

@REDBOXINDIA Why was it kept away in England?
