The most laughable part about the government increasing STT, LTCG, and STCG is that instead of getting more tax revenue, they’re actually getting less tax revenue. Higher taxes make the market fall, due to which people earn no returns at all. When nobody makes money, nobody pays taxes either. The govt’s tax collection becomes ₹0. However, if taxes were lower, say a flat 5%, the market would likely perform better, people would earn returns and pay taxes. At least the government would collect “something.” Additionally, higher taxes due to which FIIs are selling, has also contributed to pressure on the rupee, creating even more financial stress for India. I personally feel that the govt needs to abolish STT, LTCG, STCG on an urgent basis if they truly want to protect India’s future and also save their own image.

Within 5 years India will be short of plumbers, electricians, carpenters, drivers, nurses and care givers etc as they will migrate to high income countries. High income countries are facing demographics collapse and Indian blue collar is the answer. But don’t worry… we will be left with kids who have white collar degrees with no jobs in India and no requirements in high income countries.

Blue collar is the new white collar. Slide from my presentation to CFA society. Within next 3-5 years we will start having shortages of semiskilled blue collar workers.

@MaxChess_ One of the weaknesses that I see is that he pushes too much, he is not satisfied by a draw he chooses moves that put him at a sight disadvantage to make complications instead of keeping the game equal by a boring move. It's very entertaining to watch but sometimes backfires

@PlumbNick Agree. But that number 5% is equal to total of US Engineers.

This is the exact point I’ve been making for a while. Rote learning is helping students pass classes and even interviews but is not preparing them for the actual job. Layer on a shortage of qualified teachers and it becomes clear many “graduates” are graduating without any useful skills.

@lauriewhitwell @futbolfergie VAR rules should be more consistent. We have video replays and still unable to correct the decision because there is no on paper rule. Everything is based on what the referee feels.

Match suddenly upside down. Maguire with a hand on Evanilson that was lighter than Amad received for his penalty claim - but this time adjudged foul + red. Can’t square those calls. #MUFC

@agadmator If Fischer is participating in World Championship, it means he is interested and motivated.

If they played in 1975, Karpov would have a decent chance. But if Fischer was active from 1972 to 1975 and was actually interested and motivated - no one would stand a chance
Chess Feed@chess_feed

Hey @grok - What if Bobby Fischer and Anatoly Karpov had played the World Championship match in 1975, who do you think would have won?

@VBkramnik I think Judit Polgar is the only female player who reached top 10 among male players in the competition.

Judith deserved the Netflix documentary more than anyone. She is unique and an inspiration for many generations of girls to come. The only (so far) women being at some point top ten in male world rankings. Probably in whole sports in general. True star 💫 Looking forward to watch x.com/GMJuditPolgar/…

Stop buying the dip. Here is the FII reality: The smart money isn't "anti-India", they are just "pro-math". And the math says sell. 1. FIIs calculated the real return: 10% - Currency Loss - LTCG/STCG/STT = 6%. 2. They looked at US Bonds paying 4.5% Risk-Free. 3. They realized the "India Risk Premium" is effectively zero. 4. They hit the SELL button. 5. Your SIPs are currently providing their Exit Liquidity. 6. Markets will bleed until valuations justify the risk again. 7. Nifty needs to fall for yields to rise. 8. Smallcaps will revert to the mean (brutally). 9. Finfluencers will delete their "multibagger" reels. 10. FIIs will only return when the price is right (cheap). The "Dollar Math" since 2018 is terrifying. I broke down the exact numbers in the article below. Read the uncomfortable truth before your next SIP hits👇 #Budget2026 #ltcg #SIPs

These "chessgrowers" dont care about centuries of the GAME traditions and its core image built by past generations. They fill in their deep pockets. They do not care about community,fans, starving to watch them playing serious competitive tournaments. PR agencies will deliver the work and make them shine publicly, whatever they do/say and however they behave. Sure,money talks 😎 They prefer easy "betting money" to competing with other world best players in Wijk aan Zee. This imho total disgrace, happening nowadays with chess, is one of the major reasons I firmly and openly stand against it. These caprisious boys hate someone telling truth publicly about their endevours, straight into their faces, and get angry. How dared someone? Pardon, my little boys, need to explain. I personally knew and spoke on many occasions with Botvinnik,Smyslov, Tal, Spassky. They didnt "attract" media by repeatedly insulting collegues with vulgar language, never hit chess tables with their fists. Still, strangely enough,these champions and gentlemen are the authorities for me. Their opinions, actions, is what I value. Ten times more Take it, children, deserved

Arrived in Kolkata today and it was quite dark around 5.30pm already. I am sure there must be many advantages of IST, but isn’t there a loss of productivity due to this?!… Just thinking out loud..

Recently we have seen that many are succumbing to heart attacks. Despite the prevailing notion that it is related to COVID and vaccines, evidence clearly says that it is not. It is, in fact, related to our modern lifestyle which reeks of ultra-processed food, junk, air pollution and sedentary behaviour. In 2026, get the following tests done as a part of cardiac screening: ECG TMT hs-CRP apolipoprotein B Lipoprotein (a) Fasting lipid profile CT coronary angiography with coronary artery calcium (CAC) score Serum homocysteine levels Carotid intima media thickness test via a carotid doppler test Some of these are just one time tests. These provide us with information to start targeted interventions in vulnerable individuals. Prayers for his soul to rest in peace🙏🏿 Real equity is our healthspan.

The Smart Cities Mission was launched on June 25, 2015. Ten years have passed. The March 31, 2025 deadline is over. Lakhs of crores have been spent. A simple question to the Govt: Can you name even one Smart City that meets all the stated parameters? If not, where did the money go and who will be held accountable?

Bengaluru roads have become a money printing machine for officials & contractors. 3 yrs to build, 20 days to crumble and now @EASTCITYCORP is digging it up again in Janatha Colony, Doddakannalli. This is a well-oiled scam run in broad daylight.

"Clearly good enough" is a bad definition to select a player in FIDE Candidates. Unless we return to wild card system in Candidates (not under my watch!), it can't work. "He doesn't really have time for" is more alarming tho. Really? We are talking about qualification to the most important tournament in two years. How come a top pro, who is supposed to qualify by rating that proves he is still a very top pro, does not have time? It is wrong on so many levels. The requirements were actually very modest - and in a hindsight too modest, easy to game. Our fault. But to call a requirement to actually play chess "wild" is wild. Going forwards, I'll submit a proposal, eliminating rating spot altogether towards Candidates-2028. Wolrd Cup, Grand Swiss, FIDE Circuit, and now Total World Championship Tour will be the paths to qualify.
ChessBase India@ChessbaseIndia

This is what @MagnusCarlsen had to say about @GMHikaru and his race towards qualifying for the FIDE Candidates Tournament 2026 in the press conference for the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour Finals at Capetown, South Africa. Here's the full quote: "The fact that Nakamura is going around playing these, as he calls it himself, referring to something I said many years ago, Mickey Mouse tournaments in order to qualify for the candidates, in order to play the 40 games that are required by FIDE. I think that's absolutely- it's wild. It's insane, why would you require somebody who's very clearly good enough to play in the candidates, why would you require him to play these tournaments which he doesn't really have time for? Well, you want to have the best players in the candidates and he's clearly one of them." #chess #chessbaseindia #magnuscarlsen #hikarunakamura #freestylechess #candidates
