Two years ago, I put ₹3 crore into this land. I had a total of ₹8 crore to invest, and I decided to put nearly 40% of it right here. Today, this land is worth ₹7.35 crore. That is a ₹4.35 crore gain in just 24 months. While most people only look at stocks, I wanted a portfolio that could handle any market. 🧵👇🏼 #realestate #StockMarket

took a lot of anger to become this calm

A grocery shop near my house is always full of customers. One thing felt strange… He sells sugar at cost price. Buys at ₹40/kg → Sells at ₹40/kg. Other shopkeepers laughed:
“Zero profit business” For days I kept wondering… 
Then one day I asked him:
“Why sell without profit?” He smiled and said: “People come for sugar… but nobody leaves with only sugar.” While buying sugar they pick up oil, biscuits, rice, soap, snacks and other groceries. Sugar brings customers.
Other products make profit. That day I understood:
Not every product is made to earn money. Some products are made to bring customers.

Roughly 60 days of food is sitting on your body right now. About 131,000 calories of fat, packed and waiting. Your stomach still growls four hours after lunch, and your body treats that fat like a savings account it refuses to spend. Take the hunger hormone, ghrelin. Its job goes way beyond saying "eat now." Ghrelin spikes when the stomach is empty, makes food taste better, and quietly tells fat cells to hold on tighter. Researchers at the French health institute INSERM showed in 2016 that ghrelin pushes the body to store more fat and burn what is already there more slowly, even when appetite stays the same. So the same hormone that yells "I'm hungry" is whispering "but keep the fat just in case." The body burns fuels in a strict order. It keeps about 2,000 calories of fast-access fuel in the liver and muscles, a stored sugar called glycogen. That stash empties in 12 to 24 hours of skipping meals. Only after that does the body get serious about pulling from fat. A 2018 paper in the journal Obesity calls this changeover the metabolic switch, and it does not really flip until 12 to 36 hours into a fast. Four hours after lunch, the fat is barely on the menu. The growling itself is mostly housekeeping. Every 90 to 120 minutes between meals, a hormone called motilin sets off a wave of contractions that sweep leftover food bits, mucus, and stray bacteria through the gut. The noise is that sweeping. Doctors call it the migrating motor complex. It runs on a clock, no matter how much fat is sitting in storage. And the brain raises the alarm first. The brain is only 2% of body weight, but it burns about 20% of all daily energy, and it prefers sugar as fuel. When blood sugar dips even a little, the brain panics long before the body has touched the fat downstairs. For 200,000 years, missing a few meals could mean food was gone for weeks. The body still acts like that famine is one bad day away. The growl is an old security system protecting a savings account the body does not know you want to spend.

HBO told Benioff and Weiss they could have unlimited budget and as many episodes as they wanted for two more seasons of Game of Thrones. They said no. They wanted to write Star Wars instead. The same thing breaks every big show's final season. The longer a show runs, the smaller its writing team and creative attention get, while the budget grows to make up for it. Game of Thrones seasons 1 to 6 each had 10 episodes. Season 7 dropped to 7. Season 8 dropped to 6. Benioff and Weiss said they couldn't make 10 episodes in the show's usual 12 to 14 month schedule. They had also run out of George R.R. Martin's books to adapt after season 5. Three months after the finale aired, they signed a $200M deal with Netflix to start making new shows. Stranger Things shows the same thing happening at Netflix. Season 4 cost $30M per episode. Season 5 jumped to between $50M and $60M per episode, putting the final season's price tag at $400M to $480M. But across seasons 4 and 5, the show released fewer than three episodes per year on average. The kids on screen grew into adults while everyone waited. Behind both shows is a writing system that quietly broke. Old TV shows had teams of 10 to 12 writers working on 22 episodes per year. Streaming shrank that down to "mini-rooms" of three or four writers handling six to ten episodes. Less than half the size. And because streaming services drop every episode at once, all the scripts have to be locked before filming starts. So if a storyline isn't working partway through, there's no way to fix it. Lost is the older version. Damon Lindelof wanted to end the show after three seasons but ABC refused with "you don't end shows people are watching." So the writers spent three extra years inventing answers to mysteries they had not actually planned. Then the 2007 writers' strike cut a season short and the finale had to absorb the damage. The attention problem at the top makes everything worse. Netflix gave Ryan Murphy $300M for 10 new shows in five years. Studios now buy big creators across multiple projects at once, which means the person who built your favorite show is often half-checked-out by the time the finale gets made. Early seasons get the full creative team, a cast on their first cheap contracts, and books or comics to adapt. Final seasons get a half-distracted creator, a three-person writing team, scripts that can't be changed, a $400M budget, and a star whose per-episode pay is now ten times higher. By the final season, the budget is doing what good writing used to do for free.

🚨👀 Cristiano Ronaldo refused to receive the runner-up medal after defeat. Meanwhile, when Lionel Messi and Inter Miami lost the final against Seattle, Messi stayed on the pitch and watched the entire celebration until the very end, wearing his second-place medal with respect, while the rest of his teammates had already walked away. That’s the difference. One couldn’t even accept defeat. The other respected the moment, respected the winners, and respected the game itself. You don’t show greatness only when you win. You show it in the way you lose too. That’s why Messi will always be remembered as more than just a footballer. 🐐♥️
