He just wanted to walk through his own gali. 🚶♂️
An elderly man in Bengaluru reportedly found his path blocked by an auto driver's vehicle.
He did what any of us would tell our parents to do → he asked, politely, for the auto to move.
What he allegedly got back was a slap. In broad daylight. In his own neighbourhood.
Think about that for a second.
An old man, probably someone's father, someone's grandfather → humiliated for simply expecting basic courtesy on the street he calls home.
This is the India we're building?
Where age and dignity mean nothing the moment someone's ego is bruised?
Share this. Let it reach someone who needs to see what just an argument actually looks like. 🙏
My father always told me: if you want to go for a run, go for a run. Don't wait for someone to match your schedule.
You don't find people by searching. You find them by becoming the kind of person they've been looking for.

"I could never have become CEO in any other country, including India. It was only possible because America rewards merit," said former PepsiCo CEO Indira Nooyi.
A tight slap on India's Reservation Politics !
Indians are the only people in the world who quietly pay for every government failure out of their own pocket.
Dirty water? Buy an RO.
No electricity? Buy an inverter.
Polluted air? Buy an air purifier.
No gas supply? Buy an induction.
Bad schools? Pay for private tuition.
We don’t protest. We purchase.
And then the government calls it “growing consumer economy.”
The economic and demographic effects of corruption.
Cost of land in our urban areas is far higher than what our GDP per capita would dictate. The ratio of land value to per capita GDP is probably higher in India than anywhere else. As an example, land prices in Chennai or Bengaluru rival that of cities like New York which has a vastly higher per capita GDP.
The key reason?
First, vast sums of political corruption money is parked in real estate. This raises real estate prices and high real estate prices affect everything downstream.
Second, corruption in building approvals and the like - the famous DTCP - raises construction costs, on top of already higher real estate costs.
Third, corruption in private school regulatory compliance enforcement raises school fees.
Fourth, corruption in private hospital regulatory compliance enforcement raises health care costs.
Fifth, household goods need sales outlets and those pay higher rents due to high real estate prices and construction costs.
So housing, education, healthcare and household goods - all of these now cost higher.
As a direct consequence, the economic burden on the average person gets worse. Young people, facing all these costs, postpone marriage, and postpone children or have fewer children.
That directly affects our demographics.
While this issue exists in many parts of India, Tamil Nadu, being the most urbanized of the bigger states, is particularly hit hard.
So corruption is becoming an existential threat to our society.
If you worry about the super-low birth rate in Tamil Nadu, way below replacement, understand that corruption raising our cost of living is one of the major causes, not the only cause, but a big one in our context.
What is happening to this world?
Some body thrown off a cliff before marriage after seeming so close;
Someone stabbed in a train for no reason;
Someone smashing a car because he didn’t give side;
Where are all the humans, the gentle people we greeted, exchanged smiles with and felt good about!!
The stock market's job is to always make you feel like you are missing out on something.
The stock market's job is to always make you feel like you should be doing something.
The stock market's job is to get you to do the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Too much noise.
Too many threats.
Too much uncertainty.
Everyone scared.
Everyone expects the worst.
Maybe that is when wars end....
Maybe that is when bear markets end. 🤞
Nifty-100 index available @ 17.2( X) forward.
No brainer index , if you are starting your investing jounrney in 2026..
Slow growth , but less volatile.
What usually follows after a major oil shock isn’t bearish looking out one year.
Likely not out of the woods yet but sentiment and the charts are dreadful right now. In hindsight this likely up as an opportunity.
Maybe not today or tomorrow, but soon.
Instead of panicking or doing nothing, it makes sense to gather your favorite names, put them on a watchlist, and map out where you’d be a buyer.
