burn the boats. every person who ever did something enormous made retreat impossible first - cut off their own escape, stood on the shore and watched the way back go up in flames - and that terrifying finality is precisely what set them free to go all in. you can’t sprint at something while keeping one foot planted in the life you swore you would leave behind.

- 3rd round of talks with the CJP guys tomorrow.
- NTA being overhauled.
- Neet suicides being compensated.
- Fast track courts announced.
- Pradhan still stays.

Why this govt will survive, coz they know when to swallow their pride, they know if they stay put, eventually the protesters will shoot themselves in the foot by abusing/vandalising, become a nuisance to general public by affecting public amenities, public transport. Show the police being beaten. Let the mob make mistakes. It often ends with a violent incident. Shaheen bagh ended with Delhi riots. Farm protest became a localised protest after the Red Fort violence.

They believe in natural evaporation of public sympathy for such protests. They also know such protests are like the pressure cooker whistle. When enough pressure builds, it makes noise for a bit, then it settles, but the cooker doesn’t get blown apart. That pressure cooker is this govt. They keep cooking.

this is how the wealthiest families raise their kids and why you should do the same.

pay solid attention;

at 5 yo, i want you to give your kids a job. simple stuff like clean the room, take out the trash, fold the laundry then pay them 5 bucks a week but this is where most parents get it wrong cos they stop right there. now, divide that $5 into 3 separate jars.

jar 1: the giving jar, $1 goes in here every single week and at the end of the month, your child gives it, with their own hands to someone in need. this teaches them that wealth isn't just for themselves that it actually has a purpose.

then jar 2: the spending jar, $2 goes in here. at the end of the month, they can buy whatever they want. no judgment whatsoever from you, the parent. this teaches freedom, choice and autonomy.

then here goes jar 3: the investing jar, another $2 goes in here but here's the magic. you match it with one buck of your own, their two bucks then becomes three.

now they're going to learn the most powerful money lesson of them all: money can grow while you sleep & by the time they're 10 yo, they won't just know how to earn, they'll know how to give, enjoy and multiply money.

most people are still learning this at 40 yo but your kids would master it by 10, or 9 or 8 or even at 7

Remember the “historians” who were claiming Sanjeev Sanyal wasn’t a “true historian”. Guess what? He’s achieved practical proof, that none of these clowns have ever gotten close to. These “historians” don’t have the training to even read an archeological site report leave alone sail a ship.

@Delta_SquadAnex Can you elaborate pls...

Spirits are high today with fair winds all day. But local weather can change anytime. Sailing this ship in high seas has taught us one quiet lesson for sure. Don’t rise too high with good fortune & don’t sink too deep in despair. The tide always turns!

Last one on this topic, and I have been holding this in myself for a while.

For centuries, class divides kept the labor of the poor invisible to the rich. Factory workers toiled behind walls, farmers in distant fields, domestic help in backrooms. The wealthy consumed the fruits of that labor without ever seeing the faces or the fatigue behind it. No direct encounter, no personal guilt.

The gig economy shattered that invisibility, at unprecedented scale.

Suddenly, the poor aren't hidden away. They're at your doorstep: the delivery partner handing over your ₹1000+ biryani, late-night groceries, or quick-commerce essentials. You see them in the rain, heat, traffic, often on borrowed bikes, working 8–10 hours for earnings that give them sustenance. You see their exhaustion, their polite smile masking frustration with life in general.

This is the first time in history at this scale that the working class and consuming class interact face-to-face, transaction after transaction. And that discomfort with our own selves is why we are uncomfortable about the gig economy. We want these people to look our part, so that the guilt we feel while taking orders from them feels less.

We aren't just debating economics. We are confronting guilt. That ₹800 order might equal their entire day's earnings after fuel, bike rent, and app cuts. We tip awkwardly, or avoid eye contact, because the inequality is no longer abstract. It's personal.

Pre-gig era, the rich could enjoy luxury without moral discomfort. Labor was out of sight. Now, every doorbell ring is a reminder of systemic inequality. That's why debates explode. It's not just policy. It's emotional reckoning. Some defend the system (“they choose it”), others demand change (“this isn't progress, its exploitation”).

And here’s the uncomfortable twist: the unsaid ask of clumsy ‘solutions’ isn’t dignity. It is about returning to invisibility.

Ban gig work and you don’t solve inequality. You remove livelihoods. These jobs don’t magically reappear as formal, protected employment the next day. They disappear, or they get pushed back into the informal economy where there are even fewer protections and even less accountability. Over-regulate it until the model breaks, and you achieve the same outcome through paperwork instead of slogans: the work evaporates, prices rise, demand collapses, and the people we claim to protect are the first to lose income.

And then what happens?

The rich get their old comfort back. Convenience returns without faces. Guilt dissolves. We go back to clean abstractions and moral posturing from a distance. The poor don’t become safer, they become invisible again: back in cash economies, back in backrooms, back in shadows where regulation rarely reaches and dignity isn’t even debated.

The gig economy just exposed the reality of inequality to the people who previously had the luxury of not seeing it. The doorbell is not the problem. The question is what we do after opening the door.

Visibility is the price of progress. We can either use this discomfort to build something better (which we keep doing continuously as delivery partners are our backbone), or we can ban and over-regulate our way back into ignorance. One of those choices improves lives. The other simply helps the consuming class feel virtuous in the dark.

What a lovely commentary🔥

@iamkrishradha Sir Those funds are actually for policy implementation and district's developmental needs.... Not as a personal payout for the concerned officer.. He/she just collects it on behalf of the administration...
