Mileage is not distance divided by litres of fuel burnt. This is a misconception. You have to go to a service station where a special mileage computer can only tell the mileage. Science is done, now finish the maths

Vehicle buyers pay huge upfront taxes, fees, and cesses. In return, they deserve the basic right to buy the exact fuel their vehicle engines were designed to run on.

If the govt wanted to "experiment" with E20 fuel, they should have done it responsibly by either buying a sample fleet of second-hand cars to test in a controlled settings or invite willing citizens to opt-in using subsidized fuel.

Forcing a mandatory policy onto everyone first and checking if it damages their engines later is outrageous. Treating the entire public as involuntary test subjects is a massive overreach.

'Lets not pretend some great principle involved here", says EAM Dr S Jaishankar, as he points how US asked India to buy Russian energy, then imposed tariffs, & then revoked them.

Terms Russia as a "steady" supplier of energy

You want the young officer to sacrifice his life for the love of the Nation, but you don’t want him to express his love for his fiancée.

In the Army we say ‘Youngster nahi karega, toh kaun karega’.

If you can not find a fault in his professional capabilities, don’t do this nuktachini for such a pure gesture of love and belonging.

Military equipment has been on display during many ‘Know your Army’ exhibitions around the country. The students and non military personnel have clicked pics with it showing pride and love for the Army. So, please don’t bring in the national security angle into this.

Let the young soldier do his national duty with pride and honour 👍

Jai Hind 🇮🇳

Almost always the Indian crowd on an International flight is 5x more uncivilized than on a domestic flight.

People might expect some lack of civic sense on a blue-collar flight, often to Saudi/Singapore, but that’s coz it’s their very first flight. I can understand, But it’s the vacation-destination flights you will find the most uncouth assh*les, who would talk loudly, tease attendants. Misbehave for more alcohol. Even after they land, these are the people, who would talk loudly at public places, and display overall obnoxious behaviour. A couple was caught stealing food, and were laughing when they were caught. My last exp.

It’s mostly coz such people come from a negative correlation of education & wealth. Not much education or corporate experience, yet have wealth due to rent-seeking businesses/inheritance. They behave the same in India, but they get away by throwing money at a problem. It solves it here. But not abroad. If you ever try to instil some sense in them, their gag reflex is to tell you how many showrooms they own & they can buy you out. Sometimes they say it overtly, and other times passively by wearing a thick gold chain & brands that scream in your face. All CAPS.

Your worlds rarely collide in India, but they do when you are at the same luxury resort abroad. It’s the “Bharat shock” the India experiences abroad. :)

[Radhika Gupta @iRadhikaGupta]

Two valuable suggestions here @VijayKedia1. Will take the liberty to make one more @FinMinIndia and respected @nsitharamanoffc. This is around the taxation of ESOPs.

One of the biggest problems with ESOP taxation in India is that employees are often taxed before they actually make money, or in other words we treat paper wealth as real liquidity.

Today, ESOPs are taxed twice:

First, at exercise, where the difference between exercise price and fair market value is treated as salary income and taxed as a perquisite.

Then again, at sale, where any further gain is taxed as capital gains.

The bigger issue is not even double taxation in principle. The bigger issue is timing and liquidity.

In listed companies, at least there is a market price and an ability to sell.

But in unlisted companies, employees are often asked to pay tax on a notional value determined by a valuation exercise without liquidity, without certainty of eventual value, and sometimes without any exit timeline at all.

Imagine paying lakhs in tax for shares you cannot sell. Or worse, paying tax on a valuation that may never fully materialise.

This creates a strange asymmetry:

- founders and investors are rewarded for long-term risk capital,
- but employees are sometimes taxed upfront on unrealised outcomes.

And this matters. Because ESOPs are not just compensation anymore. They are increasingly the bridge through which employees participate in wealth creation.

If India genuinely wants to build an ownership economy, deepen startup talent, and create long-term alignment between companies and employees, the tax framework has to evolve with that ambition.

A more sensible system would tax employees when liquidity is created not merely when options are exercised.

Interesting fact 😂

Around 8.6 lakhs followers of “Cockroach Janata Party” are from a place called Topeka, USA. while the actual population of the town is only around 1.26 lakh 😂.

“Cockroach Janata Party” is nothing but deep-state propaganda, heavily driven by bots and fake IDs.
