@kushallodha548 Those loans are for gadgets, not to setup housing or factories, that buyers will refuse to pay en masse..
Lending 35k vs Lending 350K, seems the math is right, the logic perhaps not so much.
Subprime lending created a hole in US owing to housing loans, not stationary or gadgets.
The Greatest 4th innings Hundred?
In 1999, West Indies needed 308 to win the test against McGrath, Gillespie, Warne and MacGill.
The most incredible innings of @BrianLara’s career with half the team gone for 105, 38 the second-highest score, the final 63 runs were scored with Ambrose and Walsh, won the match by just 1 wicket.
Mani Shankar Aiyar should sleep peacefully in the knowledge that his legacy of giving the BJP brainless ammunition is alive and well in the new generation of the Congress Party.
For over a decade, India’s online card payments have relied solely on OTPs, they built trust, but they also added friction and drop-offs.
Just 10 days ago, the RBI opened the door to alternate authentication methods like biometrics.
And today, that future is already live.
@Razorpay ACS, in partnership with @YESBANK, is powering India’s first RBI-compliant biometric card authentication.
✅ No OTPs
✅ No delays
✅ Instant, secure, compliant, and built for scale
From regulation to rollout in record time, this puts India on par with the most advanced payment ecosystems globally, and in many ways, ahead.
One Hand, Whole Heart: The Day Malcolm Marshall became a living legend
14 July 1984, Headingley.
West Indies were in England. The third Test was underway. And on Day 1, disaster struck; Malcolm Marshall, the Caribbean storm himself, tried to stop a sharp drive from Chris Broad and ended up with a double fracture in his left thumb...
The verdict from the doctors?
No cricket for at least ten days.
Rest. Ice. Recovery.
End of story, right?
Not if you know Marshall.
Two days later, West Indies were still batting. Larry Gomes was on 96, partners running out. And just when everyone thought he’d be left stranded, a familiar figure limped out of the pavilion; left hand in a full cast, pads strapped over pain, eyes full of intent...
Marshall didn’t need to do it.
But he wanted to.
“I just thought Larry deserved his hundred,” he would later say, casually brushing off the fact that he walked into a storm of short-pitched bowling with just one usable hand...
And what did he do?
Faced England’s quicks. Withstood bouncers. Even tried an audacious cover drive. Laughed at a miss. Nudged one past gully for four. Pure courage. Pure madness. Pure Marshall.
Eventually, Botham caught him off Gower’s bowling. But the story was only halfway told...
Because then came the second innings.
Still injured. Thumb in plaster. Arm wrapped up in plaster to the elbow. But he was not done. Not even close...
Malcolm Marshall, bowling with pain etched across his face, ran in with relentless rhythm. Chris Broad gone. Fowler stunned. Gatting, Lamb, and the rest followed. By the end of the innings, Marshall had 7 for 53 from 26 overs...
His best figures at the time.
Every ball a bullet. Every spell a miracle.
At one point, the English batters even complained that the white plaster on his hand was distracting them. So, Marshall quietly covered it with beige elastoplast and then kept wrecking their stumps...
And to top it off, one of his seven wickets?
A one-handed caught-and-bowled.
It wasn’t just a cricketing masterclass.
It was one of the purest expressions of heart over hurt, of will over wound...
Four decades on, the roar of that day still reverberates.
Not merely as a story of wickets and scorecards,
But as a living monument to defiance; One hand in plaster, a whole heart ablaze, and a warrior who refused to retreat...
