Am seeing women from well to do families in Punjab applying for ₹1,000 monthly assistance; without a whiff of shame, women from families owning 30 acres, women from families earning ₹1- ₹2 lakhs/month queuing up for ₹1,000; economic criteria for women beneficiaries is a must.
45 tons chilli exported from Punjab to Dubai; farmers of Ferozepur's Saragarhi FPO, with active assistance from @KaurRavdeep and K.K Exports realised ₹28/kg Vs ₹18/kg in local mandis; imagine the possibilities of #agri exports, if Punjab Govt takes some initiative @BhagwantMann
If you’re still trading or investing based on news, business channels, or random tips, let me tell you this:
You’re heading down the PATH to DISASTER .
The biggest mistakes beginners make:
1 You think that out of 13 crore investors, only you know that piece of news, and that’s why your stock should go up.
2 You assume that the risk appetite of the person giving the tip is the same as yours. In reality, you don’t even know what percentage of their portfolio they’ve invested in that stock. They may have allocated just 2% of their portfolio, while you’ve put in 10%.
3 You trade based on breakouts, trendlines, and chart patterns without understanding why these patterns form or how they are often used to trap retail participants.
4 You enter trades without learning the most important skill in the market: RISK management.
5 You classify stocks as “good” or “bad” based solely on their recent performance, without understanding concepts like liquidity, market cycles, and positioning.
6 You areTrading F&O with just a few thousand rupees, risking 20% of your capital on a single trade, hoping to become rich overnight or fund your day to day expenses.
These are the Mistakes I Made in my Initial days, Learn from Mistakes done by Others!
A teacher in Dehradun told his class that light travels only in straight lines.
One boy in that room spent the next forty years bending it, and the internet now runs on what he built.
His name was Narinder Singh Kapany.
Born in Moga, Punjab in 1926. Schooled in Dehradun, graduated from Agra University, worked as an officer in the Indian Ordnance Factories. In 1952 he went to Imperial College London.
There, with a professor named Harold Hopkins, he bundled thin strands of glass together and transmitted a clear image through them. Around corners. Along bends. Nobody had done it before.
That is fibre optics. Undersea internet cables, endoscopy, laser surgery. He gave the field its name in a 1960 article in Scientific American.
Nehru wanted him back in India as scientific adviser to the defence ministry. He went to America instead. Founded Optics Technology, took it public in 1967, held over a hundred patents, and became one of the first Indians to build a company on that scale in Silicon Valley.
In 2009 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the transmission of light through glass fibre. It went to Charles Kao, who had solved the problem of impurities in the glass swallowing the signal.
Kapany was not named.
Whether he should have shared it is still disputed by people who understand the physics. What is not disputed is that Fortune had already listed him among the seven unsung heroes of the twentieth century, ten years earlier.
He died in California in 2020, aged ninety four. India awarded him the Padma Vibhushan the following year.
Meet Sourav Joshi, who is Asia's biggest vlogger. What a kind hearted man he is.
Recently, he wanted to give under-privileged government school children—who had never even seen an airplane up close—the chance to fly in one.
To make this possible, he booked an entire IndiGo flight from Haldwani to Delhi and took these children on their very first flight. Seeing the immense joy on the children's faces was truly heartwarming.
After landing, he also took them on a tour of Delhi and let them play numerous games at a gaming zone.
Seeing all of this has immensely increased my respect for Sourav Joshi today.
Boxers from Haryana are shining in Commonwealth Games, but Mota bhai sent major chunk of ‘Khelo India’ sports funds to his home state Gujarat which has zero contribution in sports.
Shocking reveal:
Modi did NOT take ECI permission for his TV address targeting Opposition parties during recent elections
👉 On 18th April, Modi did a sudden “address to the nation” supposedly on the topic of “naari shakti”
👉 He used the speech to name & attack Opposition parties INC, TMC, AAP, SP, DMK, & others for defeating the Delimitation Bill in Parliament
👉 He used a shocking expression saying “these parties had committed foeticide of women’s rights”
This TV speech happened in the middle of elections in Assam, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, & Kerala.
Now, in an RTI response, the ECI informs me that:
👉 Modi did NOT seek prior approval of the ECI for broadcasting the speech which is required under the Model Code of Conduct
👉 Despite this, ECI took NO ACTION against Modi
THIS is precisely why the most important fight before us today is against the compromised ECI & to protect free & fair elections.
When the ECI itself manipulates elections & works for Modi-Shah, we lose the right to be called a democracy.
So the police are tracking down restaurants that have sent food to jantar mantar and told them to stop supplying “free food or making bulk deliveries “ @IndianExpress
