@peeleraja and yeah, this kind of “motivation” works… just not for the reason you think

My family was so poor that we only took premium economy while flying to budget holiday destinations like Mauritius and Ibiza. Could not afford even business class.
My dad had to drive his own Mercedes S-Class because a retired pilot chauffeur was too expensive. He was so ashamed, that he would wear a white uniform and cap when he drove up to the gate of Ecole Mondiale, where I studied. He would walk.out and open the back door for me and salute, pretendi.g to be the chauffeur, so that other kids
and parents did not think he could not afford one.
We always stayed in Vivanta or Trident, and never in the flagship Taj or Oberoi properties like the rich kids. And for my birthday, we could only afford to fly down Bryan Adams and not Rihanna or Taylor Swift.
I had to make do with only Starbucks while my rich friends chilled at Araku and Humble Bean. And when we went to Rameshwaram, I would ask for less butter on my gold plated dosa, to reduce the price.
Poverty is difficult. I could not even afford membership to the One Percent Club by Sharan. And, I had to work out at Talwalkar's because Gold's Gym was out of reach for me.
This is why I work hard today. My next generation deserves the basic comforts of life that my parents could not provide me.

@Xking332 feels like tension is real, but this version is doing rounds because it’s dramatic, not because it’s nailed down
English
It's going to be a violent weekend.
Attacks on Dubai could start again any minute now.
America is sending 50k troops to the Middle East.
Over 40k of them will be in Dubai and across the UAE.
Trump says Iran broke the ceasefire.
Iran is charging a toll fee on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump says it's a violation.
Now Iran is getting bombed.
Multiple explosions in Tehran.
It's most likely a joint operation by the US, the UAE and Israel.
War is back.

@Suresh_kumar047 people blame covered calls in bull runs… but half the time they just capped themselves too aggressively
English
Most traders think covered calls give huge losses in a rising market.
Wrong.
When market goes up, BEES gains are usually higher than call losses.
Market won’t go up straight like it falls.
VIX drops → premiums rise slowly or decay.
Understand behavior, not just strategy.

@mountain_rats this isn’t about one target… it’s about sticking with it when it stops being urgent, that’s where most countries drop off
English
Longtime back Brazil had started manufacturing dual fuel fleet of trucks and other logistic vehicles.
Research was started on biofuel and blending .
So the USA war on Iran caused no panic . People had choice of using 100% ethanol ( from sugarcane ) fuel or diesel blended with 30% ethanol.
This year Brazil expects to produce 3000 Crores ltrs of ethanol( it had imported 400 Crores litres of diesel last year ).
India and Mexico are keenly studying this for own energy security .
India has already achieved 18% blending and by end of this years will achieve 20%. Present Indian production of ethanol is around 2000 crore litres per year.

@ShivAroor people want a clean expose moment… reality drips out in bits, then everyone moves on before it lands

There’s an Epstein tsunami coming. And even a 40-day war won’t stop it.

@Paryan_Sharma the catch no one talks about… strong stocks feel expensive all the time, that’s why most never own them early
English
Stocks which hold their Strength and not fall so much during bear Markets, Do Note them and Pay a Lot of Attention to them
Those Stocks will most likely lead the Rally once Bull Market Starts
Markets never Forget Winners ⚡️

@Akshat_World the part most miss… these scenarios don’t come one by one. inflation, job loss, asset crashes — they show up together and break clean strategies
English
Here is what is likely to happen if the world implodes:-
(1) We will witness extremely high inflation (what costs 100Rs today, will start costing 150Rs tomorrow)
Such things have happened in Venezuela, Sri Lanka etc.
Cash is the worst asset to hold. Investing in assets now; if the inflation goes crazy later, actually allows you to survive.
Own some real estate.
(2) The world will implode due to a reason: most likely a supply side shock. This means that there is a massive crunch of something (Eg. food shortage, water etc)
Being self sufficient helps.
Now of course: most of us can't grow crops. But having mobility (ability to move from country X to country Y or city X to city Y helps).
(3) If the supply shock does NOT pose an existential threat, then cash is likely to flow to undervalued inflation-hedged assets like Gold, Equities etc.
So staying invested helps.
If the supply shock poses an existential threat. Then money is pretty much useless. Use it now, your strategy makes sense.

I sold 90% of my remaining equity holdings yesterday. I had already sold half of it in December 2025. This isn’t because I believe the markets aren’t going to give good returns. It is because I want to spend my money before the world implodes.
English
@Mohansinha feels less like cussedness and more like people using geopolitics as a proxy for domestic fights… foreign policy just becomes another way to score points at home
English
The desperation by some to see Pakistan succeed as a broker in the ceasefire between the US and Iran, is not because it will help make the world a better place, if at all, but because these guys can pull India and Modi down. This is what cussedness looks like.

@sunilgurjar01 China having both sounds clean… but you can see where money meets control and starts slowing things down
English
If you have muscle but no money, you will become Russia.
If you have money but no muscle, you will become Europe.
If you have muscle and money, you are China.
If you have absolute muscle and absolute money, you are USA.
If you have none but you behave like one, you are Pakistan

@forgebitz repos getting passed around like memes now… half don’t understand it fully, still using it daily
English
@zhusu birth rates don’t drop because incentives are missing… they drop because life got expensive and unstable, and no one wants to admit that part
English
To solve birth rates, governments could give newlyweds loans to buy a home. 25% of the debt could be cancelled upon birth of each child. The loan would require the mother to stay at home to raise the children, thereby lowering male unemployment. Exceptions could be made if the father was unemployed.
From there, you could also have a 6% income tax on unmarried men 25-50, and unmarried women 20-45. Monks can be exempted.

@AdityaD_Shah truth is boring… business is fine, just not exciting. market hates that more than bad news sometimes
English
Too much is being made of the TCS results,
Or the fact that the revenue dropped for the first time in 20 years,
For a fact:-
The results are just steady,
They are not too positive or
not too negative either
There is this hype
That all IT companies will die and valuations are derating,
It just makes the results even more interesting
English
@warikoo the gap isn’t skill anymore, it’s willingness. some just don’t want to feel replaced so they opt out quietly

Yesterday:
A 22yr old commented “I don’t use ChatGPT because it makes up facts and the I have to spend time checking it on my own”
Also yesterday:
I got Claude cowork to draft appraisal emails for my entire team, based on their performance across the year, within the budget I gave it, personalizing the feedback to a degree that felt eerily me, based on our interactions through the year.
The world was earlier split between the have and have nots.
Today it is split between the don’t want to and the want to.
Crazy times!

Judging by my tl there is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability. The first issue I think is around recency and tier of use. I think a lot of people tried the free tier of ChatGPT somewhere last year and allowed it to inform their views on AI a little too much. This is a group of reactions laughing at various quirks of the models, hallucinations, etc. Yes I also saw the viral videos of OpenAI's Advanced Voice mode fumbling simple queries like "should I drive or walk to the carwash". The thing is that these free and old/deprecated models don't reflect the capability in the latest round of state of the art agentic models of this year, especially OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. But that brings me to the second issue. Even if people paid $200/month to use the state of the art models, a lot of the capabilities are relatively "peaky" in highly technical areas. Typical queries around search, writing, advice, etc. are *not* the domain that has made the most noticeable and dramatic strides in capability. Partly, this is due to the technical details of reinforcement learning and its use of verifiable rewards. But partly, it's also because these use cases are not sufficiently prioritized by the companies in their hillclimbing because they don't lead to as much $$$ value. The goldmines are elsewhere, and the focus comes along. So that brings me to the second group of people, who *both* 1) pay for and use the state of the art frontier agentic models (OpenAI Codex / Claude Code) and 2) do so professionally in technical domains like programming, math and research. This group of people is subject to the highest amount of "AI Psychosis" because the recent improvements in these domains as of this year have been nothing short of staggering. When you hand a computer terminal to one of these models, you can now watch them melt programming problems that you'd normally expect to take days/weeks of work. It's this second group of people that assigns a much greater gravity to the capabilities, their slope, and various cyber-related repercussions. TLDR the people in these two groups are speaking past each other. It really is simultaneously the case that OpenAI's free and I think slightly orphaned (?) "Advanced Voice Mode" will fumble the dumbest questions in your Instagram's reels and *at the same time*, OpenAI's highest-tier and paid Codex model will go off for 1 hour to coherently restructure an entire code base, or find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. This part really works and has made dramatic strides because 2 properties: 1) these domains offer explicit reward functions that are verifiable meaning they are easily amenable to reinforcement learning training (e.g. unit tests passed yes or no, in contrast to writing, which is much harder to explicitly judge), but also 2) they are a lot more valuable in b2b settings, meaning that the biggest fraction of the team is focused on improving them. So here we are.

@ritujoon2j honestly it’s not about what’s ideal… it’s what you’ll actually follow for 5 days straight without quitting

When I was at home, my mom followed a simple rule in the kitchen. She would only cut vegetables right before cooking. If any half-cut fruits or vegetables were left, she would feed them to animals. She believed food should be fresh when consumed.
Nowadays, I see many of my friends talking about meal prepping, which means preparing meals in advance for the entire week and consuming them later. It makes me wonder if this is really healthy or even necessary.

@Cryptified_Soul real test isn’t bull runs… it’s when you post a loss and see who still replies without turning it into advice or silence

@sreemoytalukdar pinning it all on one guy feels convenient… policy shifts like this usually have 5 moving parts no one mentions
English
Israelis are angry with Pakistan. We get it.
They should seek some answers from Trump, the man single-handedly responsible for giving Pakistan a lifeline.
The egomaniac couldn't accept that New Delhi would deny him the fake credit on Op Sindoor. That rankled him so much that he revamped America's Pakistan policy. Chickens are coming home.

@drsunita02 met an uncle who started talking to his plants daily… not even joking. routine mattered more than who was listening
English
Regular counselling sessions with an elderly man who lives alone. Has helpers who does his routine household chores and they go away.
He: Doc, I feel like hugging someone. Not the sexual kind of hug, just a normal hug, to feel the love and affection pass from me to the other ....i miss that connection. I don't know what to do....
Me after hearing him out patiently :
Would a pet solve the purpose??
He: Can't manage a dog, doc.
Me: Buy a cat Sir, a female cat. They are huggable, lovable and don't need much maintenance....
He said he would think about it....
This conversation made me reflect. How people have the longing for the most basic things.... We humans don't need riches. We need genuine connections, a warm hug, a patient listening to, someone to talk to....
When people live alone and crave company, a pet solves atleast some of it. One can hug a pet, talk to it, love it.....in return the pet will shower you with plenty of love and affection.
Speaking from my own experience of being a cat parent.

@FischerKing64 feels less like one era cared more and more like power just shifts who gets ignored at any given time
English
The discipline of the Cold War forced American politicians and business to prioritize the American people - broadly, not entirely.
The ‘unipolar world’ meant that American elites viewed their fellow Americans as nothing important. Trash to be discarded. They didn’t need them.

@rahulroushan met folks who can list every flaw here but go silent on the same stuff there… not balance, just selective outrage
English
The open glee and celebration by bunch of Indians over Pakistan's supposed sudden rise in diplomatic stature is why Pakistan doesn't need to make any movie like Dhurandhar. Unke Hamza toh humaare yahaan leaders, journalists, artists, bureacrats and even army-men bane huye hain.

@rajshamani no one admits it but half the “discipline issues” are just fear wearing a smarter mask
English
The shame you put yourself through after failing does not make your brain more disciplined. Instead, the self-shame fuels the cycle. Your brain fears feeling inadequate again, so it stops trying instead of improving.
