The new FEMA rules have made me an exporter of services to America. Because I make videos that YouTube (an American company) pays me for, I’m considered an exporter in the eyes of the RBI. As a result, I must sign an Export Declaration Form (corroborate it with my Adsense account), sign it, stamp it, and email it to the bank. The bank then also wants a hard copy of each EDF. This is for payments as small as $100 to as large as $50,000. And I must do this every single time.

If the state is going to wear down creators, freelancers, and internet service providers like this and add nightmarish friction to the process of getting paid, it makes sense to either scale up to become a corporation (unrealistic and impossible for many) or start dealing in petty cash and cease to trade with anyone outside of India or simply pack your digital enterprise up and participate in the lala and seth ji ball-bearing economy.

The audacity of the govt to threaten citizens with 3 months imprisonment for an expired pollution certificate while forcing us to breathe 400 AQI air everyday.

Blinkit was offering free Ambulance and it was so quick that when PG collapse tragedy happened in Delhi few months back, Blinkit Ambulance was the first to reach at site.

Now Deepinder goyal posted that people started misusing the free ambulance service for health check-up to hospital and regular doctor's follow-up, so he has to charge money for those services.

Sometimes I feel that it's not the system's fault but it's the people of the country who don't deserve any good service, system Just provide the services that we deserve.

The PM will be flying down all the way from Delhi, to Bengaluru, to inaugurate a bloody 7.5 km metro lane—splurging crores of tax-payers’ money for a few hours’ PR circus and consequently causing huge inconvenience to the public on a weekday.

Boy, we can’t be a serious country. It’s a bloody metro lane, man; not a global dais where you’re the raison d’être. For heaven’s sake, leave the inauguration and other menial jobs to the rank and file of the concerned department #NammaMetro

We’ve increased our instant withdrawal limit from ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh. It’s now available from 9 AM to 6 PM, including weekends and market holidays.

Since 2024, we’ve processed nearly ₹1 lakh crore in instant payouts, completely free🙂

Imagine you live in a colony and buy fruit from the same local vendor. The fruit is fine. Not especially juicy or tasty, but fine.

Then one day, a premium supermarket opens nearby. You buy fruit there at three times the price. It’s bigger, juicier and tastes damn good. You start believing that if you want good fruit, you simply have to pay two or three times more.

Then you travel somewhere like Thailand, Bali or Sri Lanka.

There, you find fruit that’s even bigger, juicier and sweeter than what you bought at that premium supermarket. And it costs less than what your regular vendor charges back home.

That’s when you realise how different the world outside your colony can be.

You come home and tell your friends, “I had the best fruit of my life there. And it was cheaper, too.”

And your friend, who’s never stepped outside his colony, taunts you:

“Gareeb, paise dekar supermarket se le le na. Ro kyun raha hai?”

This post wasn’t exactly about fruit.

(Or maybe it was.)

The buyer is buying the bank. The bank is expected to buy the buyer's businesses. And the money from the second deal is part of the funding plan for the first. It is a remarkable way to finance a bank takeover.

Next is:

Don’t breathe.
Don’t drink water.
Don’t fall sick.
Don’t eat.
Don’t get hospitalised.
Don’t live.
Don’t die.

Next case…

At this point, it is fair to assume that the Indian judiciary has decided to not even pretend to protect citizens' rights. They have decided to look the other way consciously. I hope Indians remember this phase.

Plea regarding extremely high airfares mentioned before #SupremeCourt

Counsel: The airfares have increased to 700%. It is an essential service. Violation of Article 14.

J Vikram Nath: Don't travel by air. Next case.

We seriously have some LOW IQ people running this city.

A brand new road sign installed right in the middle of a footpath, completely blocking pedestrians.

How does this even get approved?

No one is talking about how the Maharashtra government has declared 305 talukas drought-affected this October.

No one is talking about Mumbai’s AQI reportedly surpassing Delhi’s.

No one is talking about how Maharashtra is experiencing unusually high temperatures this October, compared to previous years.

What the hell is happening? Are we in the endgame?

If I have to buy an air purifier because of government's inability to control pollution, why should I also bear the tax on air purifiers?

[Saurav Choudhury @sauravv123]

Tbh, that’s a very poor choice of tone and language for the Prime Minister of a country.

[The DeshBhakt 🇮🇳 Akash Banerjee @TheDeshBhakt]

Dear Middle Class Fraaands,
Please take this as a friendly warning from the supreme leader. If you do not praise him more - he will spend another ₹5600 crore of tax payer money to advertise how hard he has worked for you.

[Vishal Vardhan @microcp2mltibgr]

Someone steals a ₹1 Lakh phone from your home will only sell it for just ₹5-10k because they didn’t earn it in the first place.

That’s the state of the country today.

The eMudhra leak has become a major cyber security issue globally. Many global infosec accounts and experts are questioning the capability of Indian Firms. While some of their criticism is justified but we need to ask them one question. Can they sing two stanzas of Vande Mataram?

[Prem Panicker @prempanicker]

Two men who punched a minor girl then dragged her onto the road, continued to hit her, and ripped her t-shirt got bail within 24 hours. Meanwhile, remand extended for two guys who waved the tricolour. 🤷‍♂️
