रचित तिवारी

Was reminded of this joke seeing Pakistanis trying to claim Hindu history and culture.

Stupid post. We ship over 10 containers a month and never meet any customs guy. Factory stuffing, self certified. Never meet anyone for refund of GST or drawbacks. Rolls in auto.

india when it's raining 🌴

The comments on this post should give the US a clear indication of how badly they've screwed up. That picture with Munir, Sharif and Rubio is like a knife through every Pahalgam widow’s heart. After that, trust is something the Americans will never get from India. Best to close the chapter.

Met someone from this ministry recently, a close friend and an extremely intelligent person (I'm glad he is in this ministry) and he told me a very interesting story about renewables. India might have deployed several Gigawatts of renewables capacity in the past couple of years but the huge problem is on 'evacuating' that power. He explained that it often could take two-three years to build the transmission lines from mega solar or wind projects whereas the project itself can be executed within months. The Spanish blackout from last year is being closely studied in India and is a cautionary tale on renewables dependance without infrastructure buildout, especially digital inverters. Turbine power is 'analog' whereas solar power is digital and making the twain meet is, well, not easy. As demand rockets up, these will be challenges that the ministry, grid operators and power generators will face. Because you have to really keep in mind that the electrical grid is a 'living, breathing machine'. You put on a switch and well, you expect it to work, but that means that somewhere, a turbine spins at a fraction of a percent faster. And it is all instantaneous. Remarkable really.

Bc every damn voter keeps saying this Still the clueless elites acted as if Bengal was San Francisco

Rubio is visiting the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata. Sergio Gor was there just days ago, reflecting on Mother Teresa's "legacy of service." It is a good time to revisit what that her legacy actually was. Christopher Hitchens spent years investigating Mother Teresa. He wrote a book about it, "The Missionary Position," testified as devil's advocate in her beatification, and produced a documentary called "Hell's Angel." YouTube link in next post. His central conclusion: "Mother Teresa was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty." She glorified suffering rather than alleviating it. Her facilities in Kolkata were called houses of the dying, not houses of the curing. Patients with treatable conditions were not given proper medical care. Needles were reused without sterilization. Pain medication was withheld or barely administered. As Hitchens documented, she told a patient suffering unbearable pain from terminal cancer: "You are suffering like Christ on the cross. So Jesus must be kissing you." The money was never the issue. Hitchens pointed out that she had immense quantities of money and material at her disposal. Millions flowed in from donors across the world. Where did it go? Not into medical equipment. Not into painkillers. Not into training. The conditions in her facilities remained deliberately austere while the donations piled up. And the donors themselves tell a story. Hitchens documented that she accepted over a million dollars from Charles Keating, the savings and loan fraudster who was later convicted for swindling elderly investors out of their life savings. When Keating went to trial, she wrote to the judge asking for clemency. The prosecutor wrote back, politely explaining that the money Keating gave her was stolen, and asked her to return it. She never replied. She never returned the money. She praised Haiti's Duvalier dictatorship, a regime responsible for the torture and murder of thousands, and accepted their Legion d'Honneur. She endorsed Albania's Enver Hoxha. As Hitchens put it, she was "a friend to the worst of the rich" Then there was the conversion apparatus. Former nuns from the Missionaries of Charity described being instructed to secretly baptize the dying, asking patients if they wanted a "ticket to heaven" and wiping their foreheads with a wet cloth that doubled as baptismal water, whispering the words of the sacrament. Hindus and Muslims were baptized without informed consent on their deathbeds. Hitchens summed it up: she spent her life "opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction." None of this is bigotry. This is not an attack on Christianity or on faith. Jesus, as the Gospels record him, drove money lenders out of the temple. He railed against the wealthy and the hypocritical. He healed the sick. He did not tell them their suffering was beautiful. He did not take money from fraudsters and appeal on their behalf. The criticism of Mother Teresa is not a criticism of Christ. If anything, it is a defense of what Christ actually taught. In today's world, she would have been exposed. The conditions in her facilities would have been filmed and uploaded as Insta reels. The financial secrecy would have triggered investigations. The secret baptisms would have been a scandal. She would have been compared to the evangelical faith healers and god men who promise miracles while collecting donations from the desperate. But she operated in an era before that kind of scrutiny existed, and the mythology is set in stone. Hitchens was one of the few who did. He paid for it with public outrage. But the record he assembled remains unanswered.

Modi-Shah isn’t some isolated phenomenon. They are the outcome of decades of tireless work by millions who kept working without waiting for rewards or recognition. People who worked selflessly, relentlessly, with pure Nishkama Karma. Modi and Shah are simply the manifestation of that tapasya.

A man got on the bus with both of his front pants pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful blonde woman. The puzzled blonde kept looking at him and his bulging pockets. Finally, after many glances from her, he looks at her and says, "It's golf balls." The blonde continued to look at him for a very long time, thinking deeply about what he had said. Finally, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she empathetically asks, "Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?"

Haan Yogi ji is helpless poor soul can't do anything

अफवाहों से बचें #FakeAlert #Beware A press conference video is being circulated across media and social media platforms with an attempt to malign the image of the #IndianArmy. It is reiterated that the individuals seen in the video, namely Chandu Chavan, Harendra Yadav and P Narender, were dismissed from service on grounds of indiscipline and unsoldierly conduct. The fourth individual, Shankar Singh Gujjar, is a deserter and disciplinary proceedings are undergoing against him in both military and civil courts. These individuals are deliberately spreading fake, malicious and misleading narratives on social media to divert attention from their own misconduct and dismissal from service. Citizens are advised not to fall prey to such propaganda and to remain vigilant against misinformation. (1/2) @SpokespersonMoD

No one is talking about the manner in which UP Police picked up a guy who has no connection whatsoever with the murder of Suvendu da’s PA and handed him over to West Bengal Police and he had to spend 10 days in custody with the ever-looming fear of police encounter. This is such a shameful case of police high-handedness and administrative impunity. Example must be set, if not by the administration, then by the courts.

Lovely

Thread of all the X headers I recently made: 1. Ram Sena Marching Towards Lanka.

This is not a "real story". This is just a story. Indians earn, save, and spend in INR. This sort of misrepresentation, coming from a professor, seems purposefully creating fear, uncertainty, and doubt. The USD itself has lost ~32% of its purchasing power in the last 15 years. This is because of inflation. Controlled inflation (under 5-6%) is considered normal and even healthy for a growing economy. A fast growing economy like India tends to have higher inflation naturally. In fact, central bankers and finance ministers get worried if inflation drops too low. Focusing only on the nominal USD rate without this context is purposefully misleading. So while INR has lost its purchasing power, it is natural just like the USD has lost its purchasing power. Someone's savings in India, to be used in India, suddenly doesn't become 50% less due to USD/INR rate increase. One day in the coming time, INR will suddenly start appreciating against the USD quickly. Then what will they say? They will change the attack to "inflation" then. These are the same people talking about de-dollarization and USD "crashing soon" as well. So assuming they are right, if suddenly we wake up to 1 USD = 50 INR, did every Indian become twice as rich in the night? Because its GDP and GDP per capita is suddenly 2x now in USD terms? No. The real story is, for those who can understand these things and see the pattern, there's an orchestrated attempt from a large network of anti-establishment types to fear monger and incite Indians to try cause political and economic instability in India.

Is this a recent interview? Full link kidhar hai...

Sahi baat. 😂

Remember the whole "India is so hot" narrative that became a rage last month has died down suddenly when legit India is nearing 50 degrees.
