Thinking about going to UK in the summer.

How easy / difficult is the visa? Anyone got it done recently?

Genuine suggestion:

If you may stop using AI (very evident) to write ur tweets and can make them more crisp, you will see a spurt in your audience/viewership. Not sure if anyone told you so but worth implementing if you care abt ur core messaging!

[Dr. Brahma Chellaney @Chellaney]

A Security Fiasco in India’s Northeast: The arrest of six Ukrainian nationals — all war veterans — and one American citizen with combat experience in the Syria and Libya conflicts by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) for providing military equipment and training to Chin rebels and other militants in Myanmar with ties to Indian insurgent groups casts an unflattering light on the security apparatus in India’s vulnerable northeast.

■ According to court filings, the seven accused mercenaries entered India on tourist visas and traveled undetected to the sensitive border state of Mizoram without obtaining the mandatory Restricted Area Permits (RAP). They then illegally crossed the unfenced international border into Myanmar’s Chin State.

■ The court filings state that, while in Myanmar, they provided training to Chin insurgents and other ethnic rebels with documented links to Indian militant organizations such as ULFA(I), NSCN and the Kuki National Army operating in the northeast. This training included:
→Drone operations and assembly
→Jamming technology and weapons handling
→Supplying a “huge consignment” of drones sourced from Europe

■ The seven men subsequently re-entered India through the Mizoram-Myanmar border — again without detection by border or local police forces — before traveling deep into the Indian mainland.

■ They were eventually tracked by federal agencies and arrested on March 13 at transit hubs far from the Myanmar border while in the process of leaving India:
→The American was detained at Kolkata airport
→Three Ukrainians were arrested at Delhi airport
→Three Ukrainians were arrested at Lucknow airport

The NIA has charged them under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), including Section 18 (terrorist conspiracy). The introduction of European-sourced drone technology and jamming expertise into this theater represents a significant “force multiplier” for insurgent groups.

The investigation further indicates that the seven men were part of a broader conspiracy to transport sophisticated drones and other Western weapons into Myanmar via India, effectively establishing a “tactical corridor” through India’s northeastern borders.

The scale of the security lapse is difficult to overstate. That these individuals were able to enter India, reach its northeast with military equipment, cross into Myanmar, and then return through the same route without detection points to a serious intelligence and border management failure.

Their successful movement of a large consignment of drones and related supplies through Mizoram suggests that external provisioning of arms to Indian insurgent groups may be occurring more frequently — and more invisibly — than officially acknowledged.

Taken together, these developments suggest that India’s northeast risks becoming a permissive operating environment for foreign actors fueling the Myanmar conflict, with spillover effects increasingly visible in Indian border states such as Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland.

Below you understood the tax aspect!

However, as EPS forecasts slip across many markets, dividends and buybacks are becoming critical drivers of total shareholder returns. But here’s the twist: Not all regions play the same game.

Buybacks are very tax inefficient for individual investors, corporate investors and fpis. A buyback at price 2000 when you have bought at 1000 means:

Effectively dividend income of rs 2000, taxed at slab which can be 35% or more.

What about the 1000 you paid? Considered to be sold at 0 so you get a rs 1000 capital loss that you can offset against other gains

Capital gains long term taxes are 12.5% and you can only offset long term losses against long term gains so if you hold the share long term it's only a 15% benefit (after surcharges ont ax)on 1000 = 150 rupees. But the tax you pay on 2000 can be 700 rupees. Net tax is 550 rupees, so what you effectively make is 1450.

Instead, if you sell in the market and the price is saying 1700, you will make 700 rupees profit on which the tax is 105. So you get net 1595.

For a taxable person buybacks are not something to tender in India.

@VishalBhargava5 Is crescent bay still a good option? Any similar good projects in LP which can be considered?

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@0xvdg @VoyageBliss Book today and ask SQ to hold the fare. They typically hold it for 10days. Till that time you will have the miles from hdfc/Axis easily. You can make the payment using these within 10days!

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@VishalBhargava5 @BuySell01051985 Can you please list a few good projects to keep an eye-on in locations like Parel/LP/Worli/Bandra ?

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@bigbasket_com Do we have an ETA for this “priority” solution? Sees like I have lost my entire day on this spoiled milk issue with no sight of refund (for no fault of mine) and @bigbasket_com is still working to God knows what?

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

This has happened way too often. Sometimes ur team deliberately erase the dates from the packets. Sometime they deliberately send spoiled, lumped milk. This is pathetic to see all the milk go bad. I wont be ordering milk any more from @bigbasket_com

[bigbasket @bigbasket_com]

@RohitGupta_ @RohitGupta_ Please be informed that we have escalated the issue to our relevant teams. We assure you that your complaint will be handled with the utmost seriousness and urgency.

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@bigbasket_com Any updates please?

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@bigbasket_com Hi Team, the entire milk from my order has gone stale. Please take it back or issue a refund for all 6packets.

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@volklub paaji, honda jazz tyre change. OEM is 175/65/15 but team bhp thread recommends 196/60/15 of either Conti UC6 or MRF Perfinzas. The spare would be what the OEM provided as it is brand new. Any thoughts on wider size and brand?

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@bigbasket_com So now you are also delivering living insects in your premium organic products? To top that your cc executives want to pickup and inspect the package to issue refund. Shameful and pathetic.

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@volklub where did you get this phone number? yet to try this one but the one listed on their warranty card and via google is a landline and no one picks up ever. Let me try this tomorrow. Thanks!

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@Accor @All I am really pissed off by the level of service your hotels especially Novotel Juhu Beach Mumbai has to offer. 
An accor plus member, who is calling ur hotel to provide business since morning is not able to connect as no-one picks up?
Utterly shameful and pathetic!

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@BajajAllianz I have shared all the relevant details. Looking forward to a positive resolution. Feel free to give me a call directly if that is easier. Thanks!

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@Bajaj_Finserv @BajajAllianz : I am pretty fed up with your customer service teams. They have been sleeping on my query for a claim over the past 4days. They even closed a ticket without even replying to my emails. Are you running an insurance firm for real?

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@pharmeasyapp Thanks to the social media team which swiftly worked through the ranks and got this issue resolved.

[Rohit Gupta @RohitGupta_]

@pharmeasyapp I bought a 3month Pharmeasy Plus subscription and made a payment using my Amazon Pay Wallet. I still cannot see my membership on the app. I need to make a lab booking as soon as possible. Can you please help out here?
