Horribly opinionated piece with misleading headlines. The writer expresses his frustration and his own views against the Israeli government but the headline chooses to insult India and its leader.
Pathetic journalism @thewire_in

Alright. Imma do a mega thread on the Great Andy and his Nostradamus-level predictions.
1) Here is Andy solving India's budding currency crisis with just one opinion piece in Dec 2025. The deal with US happened in a few weeks.
In today’s turbulent geopolitics, it is critically important for every large nation to secure energy independence. India is vulnerable because we import 90% of our oil and gas. We are surrounded by sea on three sides which can be blockaded in hostile times. There is no option but to raise our domestic production. We are the world’s fastest growing market for oil and gas. And our demand will keep growing for another 20 years at least.
Fortunately, we are blessed with tremendous resources, 300 billion barrels equivalent. More than 30 times Guyana’s potential. We also have amazing entrepreneurs - our businessmen, youngsters and startups. Across the world, in America, Middle East and Europe, 10% of experts in this industry are Indians. So, we have talent. What we need to do is exploration. That is the core of this business. Two decades ago, the US was dependent on hydrocarbon imports and vulnerable. They changed it by opening up exploration to entrepreneurs and making it lucrative for them. Even backyards of homes and farms were explored. Everyone benefited.
I have been in this business for the last 15 years and I can say with confidence that we can produce at half the cost of imports. At the same time, we have contributed $40 billion dollars to the exchequer. Over the years, Cairn has produced 1.3 billion barrels. This sector is among a few that has no government protection or incentive like PLI.
To unlock India’s full potential, we need more exploration. Today, there are hardly 200 active licences in India when there should be 2,000. The industry and potential investors fear processes, notices, court cases and taking away the licenses. Even one court case or notice in the public domain catches like fire in the world. I am reminded of what happened in the Ghana bird sanctuary in Bharatpur which, once upon a time, used to get birds from all over the world, some flying 5,000 miles. It would have been the world’s finest, until 10 or 15 years ago, a hunter shot a couple of birds. The other birds stopped coming. It is taking years to recreate a favourable environment.
The world doesn’t want India to produce. It only wants India to be a market. But only domestic production creates jobs, which is proven in other parts of the world. We must push back. We must fight to be self-sufficient. After all, this is a country which used to be import dependent on food. And then became self-sufficient. It all happened because the government created a movement to make the country self-sufficient.
Today, the world is rapidly securing its own energy and mineral resources. India must also move quickly to make full use of what lies below the ground. The Government has been encouraging growth, collaboration and investment. At Vedanta, our goal is to increase our production five times. For India, production must grow ten times to meet future needs. This will support economic growth and the vision of Viksit Bharat.
My vision is to see thousands of drilling rigs operating across the country. Even startups and small entrepreneurs can participate with an investment of around ₹5 crore through leasing of rigs. What we need most is stable and supportive environment. This is the right time to shift from heavy regulation to facilitation for exploration and production so the nation can move towards energy independence.
We have a long journey ahead but our potential is extraordinary.
Above-ground, investable gold is less than $11 trillion in value, compared to $470 trillion of global wealth and $320+ trillion in global bonds, investors are increasingly being forced to buy “gold in the ground,” via mining shares. But gold mining shares are worth less than $600 billion combined—” passing a camel through the eye of a needle.

100 economists signed a letter about how Javier Milei’s election would destroy Argentina’s finances.
This should completely discredit all modern economics.

For years, there’s been something about Zomato that made me uneasy.
We made eating out and ordering in easier than ever, but we never really helped people truly eat better. Yes, you could find a salad or a smoothie bowl, but the truth is, if you wanted to eat genuinely nourishing food, Zomato didn’t make it easy.
That weighed on me, because when we say our mission is “better food for more people”, the “better” has to mean something deeper.
Today, we’ve taken one of the biggest steps in fixing that blind spot. We’re launching Healthy Mode on Zomato.
Every dish in this mode now comes with a Healthy Score—from Low to Super—based on what really counts for your health: protein, complex carbs, fibre, and micronutrients, and not just calories. Behind the scenes it’s AI and restaurant data doing the heavy lifting, but what you’ll see is simple: a clear explanation of what makes a dish healthy, and why.
This is not your run of the mill “healthy mode” for beginners. We have kept the bar very high, that professional athletes can rely on healthy mode to find food that works for them.
This is personal for me. I’ve carried the guilt that Zomato made it easy to eat whatever you craved, but not easy to eat what your body needed. Healthy Mode is our first real step in putting that right.
It’s live in Gurgaon, and we’ll expand fast. Try it, tear it apart, tell us where it fails. Because this is just the beginning—and for the first time, I feel we’re moving meaningfully closer to truly living up to our mission: better food for more people.
Highly recommend this practical, 21 day guide book based on Ayurveda, written by a modern mind seeped in our civilisational values! Please repost so many more may benefit 💐🙏🏻
The recent Air India crash investigation made me wonder
why arent aircraft maintenance records on a blockchain and shown at time of booking

From the same piece -
Global debt is now at $324 Tn with a massive interest burden. Approx $70 Tn in debt needs to be refinanced annually and this number is growing as the deficits, debt and additional interest costs are added. A doom loop.
@UltrahumanCare I took a vision test on May 27th morning. Normally the results start coming in the same day however it’s now been 3 days and I haven’t got results for any of my markers yet. Tried the chat option however your team seems unable to help and are not responding. Please look into this as soon as possible.
CBSE tells schools to establish Sugar Boards to monitor and reduce sugar. This is a step in the right direction. Thanks @foodpharmer2 for sharing.
Now to figure out how to get parents to care about it. How to reduce sodas, coffee/tea (majority of it is mostly sugar), malted drinks, chocolates (again mostly sugar), sweets, etc.
