VIP Culture continues
Traffic stopped on Coastal Road ( North bound) since last 10+ minutes
As though we don't need to reach office, airport, schools, colleges on time.
It's ok..even if it's a Wednesday in Mumbai
From ₹100 SIPs democratizing wealth to UPI powering the world’s most data-rich society, India's multi-engine model (farm + factory + front office) is unmatched. 🇮🇳📈

Long Post
The Mahakumbh is a reflection of all that India that is Bharat stands for.
There are thousands of groups offering free food, free first aid etc. to crores of devotees
I have heard friends sharing their wonderful experiences of how they didn't need to spend a single rupee over 4-5 days of their visit
Economic model wise there have been several debates on whether Bharat should use capitalism or communism
However, as an ethos, we don't fit into either
We are by nature philanthropists
Seva is a way of life
Service for humanity is an integral part of our ethos
Instead of just the government promoting business or welfare economics, here it is the common man who is doing welfare and leading to humungous economic growth
It is events like the Mahakumbh that propel economic growth
I would like to call this the people's economy
After capitalism and communism, this model can be called "Peoplism"
It is the common man that is driving economic growth
In 1947, when India became independent, Nehru propounded the "Idea of India"
It was a forcible adoption of what Nehru ji felt what our nation stood for
Post that we have seen the adoption of other models of economics
Today we see the Reality of India that is Bharat
This is the way ancient Bharat had grown to become the largest economy in the world
Our festivals propel growth
Our seva that ensures everyone gets fed during festivals propel growth
We need to relook at western models that we have adopted and return to our Bharatiya economic model
This is the model that had made us the economic super power that we were before all the invasions which made us slaves to ideologies of other cultures
It's time to get back to our roots
It is time to move on from the "Idea of India" and rediscover the "Reality of Bharat"
We have an AMC with @EurekaForbes for our aquaguard
It was working fine till the technician came for a regular servicing
The moment he left, the machine started overflowing. So once it's full, it's supposed to stop filling. But this is not happening
On registering a new complaint, the technician came and apparently identified an issue
Post that he came twice with some spare parts but he wasn't able to resolve the problem
He last came on Saturday 26th
He promised to come again on Monday morning and definitely repair whatever was needed
Since yesterday the guy is not taking calls even
I reached out to the call centre and they promised to get the technician to repair it at the earliest
But nothing has happened ever since
I expected much better from Eureka Forbes
Extremely disappointed
It's been nearly two decades since the worst flooding due to #MumbaiRains on 26th July 2005, and getting stuck on roads for 16 hours. It still haunts me every monsoon.
This can happen only in India.
There is a lot lot lot lot to happen in terms of civic sense, Morality and consciouns
Hope this also forms a part of the #ViksitBharat2047 package
This is Aswini and Anish, two IT professionals who were returning home in Pune on May 19 when an unregistered Porsche, driving at 150 km/h in Kalyani Nagar, hit them. One of them died on the spot, and the other died during medical treatment.
The driver of the car was a 17-year-old minor, allegedly returning from a club after partying with friends to celebrate their 12th-grade results.
Why this is not just an accident but a murder:
1. The car was unregistered; the showroom delivered the car without registration.
2. The parents allowed a minor to drive without a license.
3. The club owner served alcohol and admitted a minor.
4. The traffic police failed to notice an unregistered, overs-peeding car on the road for months.
When the minor was arrested at midnight, he received VIP treatment. A local MLA came to his rescue, with a team of lawyers.
The bail condition was that he should write an essay, and his parents should ensure he doesn't repeat the same mistake.

Growing up: I lived in a la-la land that there is justice in the world.
In countries like India, there is no justice. There are just powerful people massaging their egos.
Solution: become capable, fuck this shit and go where you are treated best.
Thank you Neil. For those asking, this is Abdulla Chaudhari, our long time investor servicing head @EdelweissMF and an awesome guy :)
Since this video has been out our handles have got a lot of operational queries. Does a spaces or AMA with Abdulla and our team sound helpful? Anything else.
I hope this situation is sorted out, but till it is we will keep trying to be helpful with questions.
The first of a four part deep dive with @mukeshbansal06 into what drives GDP, how it can grow, and how fast should we grow. As always, good fun chatting with Mukesh. https://t.co/espNvmHA9L
A few have the guts to face the problem, lead and progress; a few need someone to lead; a few need time to think, re-think, adjust and move forward (fly)..... what a visual!🤔
