My friend Rahul bought an under-construction flat in Noida for ₹1 crore in 2020.

Last month, he sold it for ₹1.8 crore.

Everyone around him said:

“Wah! ₹80 lakh profit!”

But then we did the actual math...
GST paid at purchase (5%) = ₹5 lakh
Stamp duty & registration (~7%) = ₹7 lakh
₹12 lakh gone before he even got possession.

At the time of sale:
Capital gains tax = ~₹10 lakh
Brokerage (2%) = ₹3.6 lakh
Total costs: ₹25.6 lakh

So the real profit wasn’t ₹80 lakh.

It was closer to ₹54 lakh in 5 years.

That works out to roughly 9% CAGR.

For comparison:
1. FDs delivered ~7%
2. Mutual funds gave ~11%+
3. Some YEIDA land parcels appreciated 20-25% annually

Yet whenever someone buys a flat, people celebrate the sale price.

Almost nobody talks about GST, stamp duty, taxes, maintenance, brokerage, and the years of locked-in capital.

The question is:

Are people buying flats for returns, or just because real estate “feels” safer than other investments? 🤔

Would Rahul have been better off putting ₹1 crore somewhere else?

His name was Irrfan Khan.

He was born in 1967 in Tonk, Rajasthan. His father ran a tyre business. He was selected for a national cricket tournament for under 23 players. He could not attend because he could not afford the travel expenses.

He won a scholarship to the National School of Drama in Delhi in 1984. Acting was not the plan. The scholarship was.

In his final year at NSD, Mira Nair cast him in Salaam Bombay. His scenes were cut because he was too tall for the frame.

He moved to Mumbai with nothing. He repaired air conditioners to pay rent while waiting for his next role.

The 1990s were television serials and forgettable films. The industry had no space for a man with unconventional looks who refused to perform emotions instead of feeling them.

He almost quit in 2001. A British film called The Warrior changed his mind.

Then everything shifted.

Slumdog Millionaire. Life of Pi. Paan Singh Tomar. The Lunchbox. Piku. Talvar. Two films he acted in collectively won 12 Oscars. At the Academy Awards, Julia Roberts stopped him outside the venue to tell him she loved his work in The Namesake. Christopher Nolan offered him a role in Interstellar. He turned it down because he had committed to The Lunchbox.

In 2016, he dropped Khan from his name. He said he wanted his work to define him, not his lineage.

In 2018, he was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine cancer. He flew to London for treatment. Came back in 2019 and went straight back to work. He completed Angrezi Medium while undergoing chemotherapy. It was his last film.

Today marks five years since he left. He was 53.

The man who repaired air conditioners in Mumbai turned down Christopher Nolan. India just never told that story loud enough.

The hidden physics of everyday things you never questioned:

1. The refrigerator doesn't create cold. It moves heat from inside to outside. Cold is not a thing,it is the absence of heat being relocated.
2. Glass is not a solid. It is an amorphous liquid frozen mid-flow. Old windowpanes are thicker at the bottom because the glass has been slowly moving downward for centuries.
3. Fire is not a thing. It is a process,the visible release of energy as a substance rapidly oxidises. Flame has no mass, no defined boundary, no independent existence.
4. The shadow you cast is travelling at the speed of light. Shadows are not objects,they are the absence of photons, and absence propagates as fast as presence does.
5. When you stand on the ground you are not touching it. The electrons in your feet and the electrons in the floor repel each other. Physical contact as you experience it is electromagnetic resistance, not actual touch.
6. Hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions. This is called the Mpemba effect and physicists still do not fully agree on why it happens.
7. Sound cannot travel in space. But if it could, the sun would be louder than anything the human ear could survive at any distance.
8. A piece of paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times regardless of its size. The exponential thickness increase makes it physically impossible.
9. The atoms in your body are almost entirely empty space. If you removed all the empty space from every atom in every human on Earth, all of humanity would fit inside a sugar cube.
10. Honey never expires. Archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that was still chemically edible.
11. The static electricity built up by walking across a carpet is between 10,000 and 35,000 volts. The shock you feel is harmless only because the current is near zero.
12. Metals that are perfectly smooth will permanently bond on contact in a vacuum. There is no force holding them apart,welding requires no heat, only the absence of surface contamination.
13. The loudest sound ever recorded,the 1883 Krakatoa eruption was heard 4,800 kilometres away and circled the Earth four times as a pressure wave.
14. Light from the sun takes eight minutes to reach you. When you look at the sun you are looking eight minutes into the past. When you look at the nearest star beyond the sun, you are looking four years into the past.
15. Time moves measurably faster at the top of a tall building than at its base. Gravity literally slows time. Your head ages fractionally faster than your feet every single day.

Why is a peg of alcohol always 60 ml? Can't 50 or 70 ml work?

Let's know this measurement

The science behind and the true meaning of the word 'PEG'
Whenever there is a party or a gathering of friends, a phrase is usually heard - "Make my small PEG (Small)" or "Make my large (Large)". We all know that small means 30 ml and large means 60 ml.
But have you ever wondered why these figures are only 30 and 60?
Why is there no peg of 40 or 50 ml?
What does the word PEG mean? (Precious Evening Glass)

First of all, let's know why it is called 'peg'?
There is a very interesting history behind this word.
It is believed that 'PEG' is actually a short form (acronym).
Its full name is - Precious Evening Glass.

History: In the old days, coal miners in Britain used to work hard all day.
When they returned from work in the evening, they were given a glass of wine to relieve their fatigue.
This evening glass was very precious to them, so it was called 'Precious Evening Glass', which in short became 'PEG.

The Science Behind the Measurement of 60 ml (The Science & Liver Connection).
Now let's come to the main question. Why only 60 ml?

This is directly related to your body's digestive power and liver.

Liver Capacity: When you drink alcohol, it mixes directly into your blood. Our liver works to filter alcohol from the blood. Scientifically, the liver of a healthy person can digest about 30 ml of spirit (whisky, vodka, rum, etc.) in an hour.

Intoxication Mathematics:
If you drink 60 ml (large peg), it takes about 2 hours for the liver to digest it. This measurement has been decided so that the person drinks slowly and the liver gets time to work. If this measurement is not followed and it is consumed indiscriminately, the load on the liver increases and alcohol poisoning can occur.

Mathematics of Ounce and Milli:
In India, we use liters and milliliters, but the measurement of alcohol has come from the British system where liquids are measured in 'Ounces'.

1 ounce = 29.57 ml (about 30 ml)

2 ounces = 59.14 ml (about 60 ml) For this reason, all over the world and especially in India, 'Small peg' has been kept as 1 ounce i.e. 30 ml and 'Large peg' as 2 ounces i.e. 60 ml. This round figure is easy to calculate.

How many types of peg are there?

Generally, three types of peg are popular in India:

Small peg: 30 ml (for those who want to drink slowly and in moderation).

Large peg: 60 ml (the most ordered size).

Patiala peg: 90 ml to 120 ml.

The story of Patiala peg: This peg is named after Maharaja Bhupendra Singh of Patiala. He was a giant and was fond of parties. It is said that his hospitality glasses were much larger than normal, so a size of 90 ml or more is called a 'Patiala peg'.
What is the difference between a shot and a PEG?

Many people consider 'PEG' and 'shot' to be the same.

Peg: Peg is usually mixed with water, soda or cold drink and drunk slowly in sips.

Shot: A shot is usually 30 ml and is meant to be taken down the throat in one gulp without adding anything to it.

The reason behind keeping the alcohol measurement at 30 or 60 ml is not just business, but the body's limitations. The liver is a machine, and it takes time to process it. That is why it is said that 'If you drink in moderation, you will get slightly drunk, and if you drink without moderation, you will get drunk'.
