My european brain cannot fathom that my Indian wife is buying jewelry for a wedding on a 10-minute instant delivery app.
Yesterday she ordered a blender.
And a few days before that, a 100€ SSD in the middle of nowhere.
The reach that these instant delivery apps have in India seems insane to me.
No idea what she's going to order next.
The exit polls of Bihar assembly polls are all wrong. My survey shows that NDA is winning at least 200 seats and Mahagathbandhan is being wiped out.

End of an era in Australia.

The UPA government issued oil bonds totaling about ₹1.41 lakh crore from 2005-2010 to compensate oil companies for fuel subsidies, deferring costs to manage fiscal deficit.
The current government is repaying them, with ₹131,550 crore (principal + interest) settled as of March 2025, and ₹38,970 crore remaining, due by 2026.
Repayments are funded from general revenues, including fuel excise duties. Govt sources say this limits tax cuts; critics note it's minor vs. total collections (>₹27L cr since 2014).
The whole stray dogs affair feels like textbook Marxian class warfare.
Almost everyone pro strays is anglophile upper middle class to rich.
Almost everyone anti strays is nativist working, lower middle & middle class.
The segregation is so clean, it's insane.
A good product, like a good explanation, is “hard to vary” and has reach beyond its original intent.
Changing any part of the product makes it worse.
It’s built to the edge of its constraints.
Users use it to solve problems that it wasn’t intended to solve.
