Incredible Curiosity
Reasons are Excuses
Reason being reasonable enough to fit the reason shaped hole in mind doesn't necessarily make it a good reason.
@HNImanshu Once you factor in ocean shipping, 18% GST, and 7–10% import duty, the landed cost easily reaches ₹14k–₹15k.
Selling a ₹10k Alibaba chair at ₹18k leaves a gross profit of just ₹3k, which is entirely reasonable given the overhead and risks involved.
@HealthRanger I haven’t heard this angle but want to learn more.
What i always read was that there were ridiculous parameters for goods, like a glass on a navel ship had to break into no more than 6 (or whatever) pieces when dropped, which raises the production cost for low volume goods.
This is what the real concentration camps did, led by the Bolshevik Jews aka the Red Terror.
Here they made actual gloves from human skin by boiling prisoners hands until the skin blistered and peeled off.
They are literally everything they said the Nazis were, but weren’t.
India has to be some kind of record holder in this. It requires an endless list of documents from its citizens--more than most other countries--but not one of them prove a single thing
Passport, aadhar, ration card, voter id card, PAN card---endless lists of nothing

99% of people would’ve called it a day after that 2022 World Cup. 35, having won literally everything in the sport, there was nothing left to do.
For Messi to not only continue, but keep himself this fit and this sharp? I can’t fathom how he finds the motivation.
Every document the Indian state hands you, passport included, has now been declared not proof that you are a citizen. The documents it does accept narrow down to a birth certificate, which for anyone born after 1987 only counts alongside evidence that a parent was a citizen, so the question shifts one generation back to paperwork that often does not even exist for hundreds of millions of Indians.
We spent $250k plus to acquire citizenship by investment.
We were explicitly asked to surrender our Indian passports upon taking up a new citizenship as India doesn't allow dual citizenship.
Why do that if it was just a travel document and not proof of citizenship?
Manoj Madhusudhanan took a ₹1.86 crore home loan from ICICI Bank.
As collateral, he handed over his original property documents. Every homebuyer does this. You have no choice.
ICICI Bank sent those documents to their storage facility in Hyderabad via courier. Somewhere on that journey — Bangalore to Hyderabad — the documents vanished.
Gone. Originals. Irreplaceable.
When Manoj found out, ICICI Bank had one answer: it was the courier company's fault. Not ours.
He went to the Banking Ombudsman. They told ICICI to publish a public notice about the loss and pay him ₹25,000 for the trouble.
Twenty-five thousand rupees. For losing the original documents to a ₹1.86 crore property.
Manoj sent a legal notice. ICICI denied any mistake.
He went to the NCDRC.
The apex consumer court looked at the facts. The bank had taken custody of the documents. The bank had chosen the courier. The bank could not hand that liability to a third party and walk away.
ICICI Bank — India's second-largest private bank, ₹9 lakh crore in assets — was held liable. Ordered to obtain reconstructed certified copies, issue an indemnity bond, and pay ₹25 lakh in compensation.
One loan. One lost file. One bank that blamed the courier.
Save this — if your bank loses your original property documents, they cannot blame their courier agent. The documents were in their custody. The liability is theirs. File at your district consumer forum. The law is on your side.

#CandidMorning 🤷♂️
I have met collegues in IT who come from really wealthy families ( 15Cr+) which is either by generational wealth or papa ka paisa.
Absolutely zero liabilities or expenses and still get a pocket money equal to their paycheck every month from Pappa.
All of them said the same thing, they joined IT thinking they have more potential and can make an impact.
By the 5th year they understood, kis liye apni G@nd ghisna as you are nothing more than a passive income for Government & a way to vent out your managers frustation. ( I agree with both )
75% have already resigned and shifted back to their hometown or have joined their parents business. Rest are saving up for their dream car and are planning to resign in next 2 years 😂.
I concur " If you have the background, use it. Spend money and enjoy life. Don't give this shosha drama that I want to stand on my own feet etc unless you have an idea for a venture which can change the world. "

When I was in my first year of medical training, a guy in my class wanted to ask me out but I made it clear I wasn’t interested. He put my face on a nude woman’s body and circulated it with my name, phone number and “rate” on it. I used to get 70-80 calls from guys - either his friends harassing me or random men who had received that image on WhatsApp. I changed my mobile number five times that month. I started therapy. I needed sedatives to be able to relax and sleep. Men who do this deserve death. Because no amount of repentance takes away anything women go through because of their actions. I still can’t take pictures of myself freely, forget about posting them anywhere. There should be no re-entry into society for men like these. Ever.
