एक व्यक्ति ने Indriya में अपना Gold बेचने का फैसला किया तो उसे वहां की पूरी प्रक्रिया काफी अलग लगी।

सबसे पहले उसे पता चला कि यहां दूसरे Brands की Gold Jewellery भी बेची जा सकती है।

उसके अनुभव के मुताबिक दूसरे Brand के Gold पर 3% की कटौती की गई।

Gold बेचने के लिए PAN Card और Gold Invoice मांगा गया।

Invoice पर लिखा नाम PAN Card के नाम से Match होना जरूरी था।

नाम में थोड़ा फर्क होने पर Declaration लेकर मामला आगे बढ़ाया गया।

Bank Account Details भी ली गईं और Cancelled Cheque नहीं मांगा गया।

इसके बाद Jewellery की Purity बिना पिघलाए पहले Check की गई और Tentative Value बताई गई।

Documents WhatsApp के जरिए देने के बाद Jewellery को Melting Room में ले जाया गया।

पूरी Melting प्रक्रिया ग्राहक के सामने की गई।

इसके बाद Carat Meter से Purity की 3 बार जांच हुई।

तीनों Readings का Average निकालकर Final Purity तय की गई।

अगर Purity को लेकर संतुष्टि न हो तो दोबारा 3 बार Test कराने की बात भी बताई गई।

सबसे जरूरी बात यह थी कि Jewellery पर लिखी 916 या 999 Purity के हिसाब से सीधे Payment नहीं किया गया।

Melting के बाद Carat Meter से मिली Actual Purity के आधार पर Value निकाली गई।

फिर 3% Deduction करने के बाद Payment Process पूरा किया गया।

पूरी प्रक्रिया के दौरान Coffee और Snacks भी दिए गए।

अगर Gold बेचते समय Purity और Valuation आपके सामने Check हो तो क्या आप ऐसी प्रक्रिया को ज्यादा भरोसेमंद मानेंगे?

Sitting alone at 6 am w/ my coffee and crying at this. As a young girl, married at 25, having moved to the US, I struggled with depression (long story). One such night, I called my parents at 4am ist. Bawled. My dad told me to come back home.

Dear Mr. Trump, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Not for the tweets.
Not for the drama.
But for the pressure.

Because pressure changes behaviour faster than motivation ever can.

Once global trade stopped feeling predictable, India did something interesting.
It stopped assuming access and started negotiating leverage.

Result
India quietly went on an FTA shopping spree.

• UAE CEPA
Bilateral trade target: $100 billion
Signed when energy security and exports actually mattered

• Australia ECTA
Trade target: $50 billion in 5 years
Zero duty access for Indian exports across multiple sectors

• EFTA TEPA Switzerland Norway Iceland Liechtenstein
Investment commitment: $100 billion over 15 years
Not aid. Not charity. Long term capital

Meanwhile with the EU FTA
Europe moved from “aspirational partner” to “strategic necessity”

Supply chains stopped being China only
Indian manufacturing started getting serious conversations, not just compliments

Thank you for unintentionally putting Indian businessmen in the line of fire.
More importantly, thank you for revealing something critical.

When push came to shove,
The Indian state did not distance itself from enterprise.
It stood behind it.

That signal matters more than any subsidy.

And yes, thank you eventually for the US India deal as well.
Because real negotiations only happen when both sides know comfort is gone.

The world did not become fairer.
India became tougher.

Sometimes resilience is not taught.
It is forced.

And for that
Namaste.🙏 from 🇮🇳

How Vinesh Phogat wronged Shivani Pawar
- via Facebook

The girl in the photo is Shivani Pawar. You might not have seen her before because she wasn’t sitting at Jantar Mantar, nor was she covered by the media.

This 26-year-old is a Head Constable in the BSF. Shivani is also a farmer's daughter, hailing from a small village called Umred in MP.

Shivani is also a wrestler. Three years ago, at the Under-23 World Wrestling Championships, she won a silver medal in the 50 kg weight category. In the same event, Anju won a bronze. Shivani was the first Indian wrestler to win a medal in this competition. She has also won a gold medal in the World Police Sports Championships and a bronze in the Asian Wrestling Championships.

Shivani is a promising wrestler with a bright future. But why didn’t she make it to the Paris Olympics?

In March, a trial competition was held in Patiala. In this competition, Vinesh Phogat lost to Anju in her usual 53 kg category. This is the same Anju mentioned earlier. After losing in her regular 53 kg category, Vinesh insisted on competing in the 50 kg trial as well.

Under pressure, the officials gave her permission. (Perhaps they feared accusations of rape or sexual harassment, or maybe they were threatened with the Jantar Mantar protests.) Vinesh won the 50 kg category. It would have been easier for a 53 kg wrestler to win in the 50 kg category.

In the final round, Vinesh won 10-6, meaning the opponent was definitely not weak. That opponent was Shivani. If Vinesh hadn’t competed in the 50 kg trial, Shivani would have won the qualifying round and been selected for the Olympics. But after losing in the 53 kg category, Vinesh intruded into the 50 kg category.

In fact, Vinesh wanted to be sent to the Olympics without participating in the trials. The association did not accept this unreasonable demand.

Vinesh was determined to go to the Olympics, and she had the backing of the opposition. So, she entered the 50 kg category. Vinesh’s intrusion into 50 kg cost Shivani her chance.

Even though Vinesh secured a spot in the Olympics through injustice, it was difficult for a 53 kg wrestler to maintain the 50 kg weight category for two consecutive days. Eventually, the truth came out on the weighing scale. Vinesh was disqualified in the 50 kg category because it wasn’t her original weight category. In Paris, there was no Jantar Mantar, nor were there Hindi journalists. Naturally, Vinesh had to accept her disqualification.

In this entire episode, Shivani was wronged. Shivani is also Indian. If she had gone to the Olympics and won a medal, that medal would have been credited to India.

Those who shout slogans like "Bharat ki Beti" (India’s daughter) will never speak up for Shivani because they won’t get a paycheck for it, nor will they get a chance to criticize Modi.

There is no sorrow over Vinesh’s disqualification because she entered through deceit. The sorrow is for the lost medal for India, and the nation’s honor being compromised. The deeper sorrow is for the injustice done to a young athlete in the dirty politics of elite athletes.

And those lamenting Vinesh’s disqualification are not sad because India lost a medal; they are upset because they lost an opportunity to target Modi.

Isn’t Shivani a female athlete? Or is she not Indian? Doesn’t she have the right to fair opportunities?

Vinesh did not enter the fray with a clean slate and deservedly so got disqualified. However, in the bargain she has not only undone herself but also unfairly deprived a deserving wrestler from contesting.
A thorough probe is a must. With such dirty politicking, India certainly cannot expect to have worthy medal winners.

Shame on you @Phogat_Vinesh

[sreejesh p r @16Sreejesh]

As I stand between the posts for the final time, my heart swells with gratitude and pride. This journey, from a young boy with a dream to the man defending India's honour, has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Today, I play my last match for India. Every save, every dive, every roar of the crowd will forever echo in my soul. Thank you, India, for believing in me, for standing by me. This is not the end, but the beginning of cherished memories.

Forever a custodian of dreams. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

झोपड़ी के अपनी दादी से सीख

[BhikuMhatre @MumbaichaDon]

Undoubtedly, FM .@nsitharaman Ji is one of most incompetent & useless FM "India" has ever had. Let's look at long list of her failures.

1. She quietly pulled out Bharat's banking sector from complete bankruptcy & ensured everyone's deposits were safe.

2. She quietly pulled "India" from Fragile-5 & placed "Bharat" in Fab-5.

3. She introduced such industry friendly policies that Stock Market reached unimaginable heights, increasing Investors Wealth manifold.

4. She ensured that there is no darth of funds for Defence Capabilities & Infra Development.

5. She focused on Employment Generation which no other FM ever had.

6. She even managed funds to feed 80 Crore population since Apr 2020 till date.

7. She even finished "Phone Banking" which Chidambaram had operationalised to give Bad Loans to favourite industrialists.

8. She did this by giving marginal relief to taxpayers even though direct tax revenue is from only 1.6% of total population.

9. In spite of only 2.9% of total population filing IT Returns & limited direct tax revenue, she managed debts at such reasonable level that Bharat’s Debt GDP ratio is only 18.7%.

10. She showed guts not to fall for populist measures & instead focused on Inclusive Development with Social Welfare + Employment Generation + Women Empowerment + Atmnirbhar Bharat.

11. She made efforts to make Bharat a "Manufacturing & Logistics Hub" from being only a "Market" as before.

All these failures definitely make her "Worst FM" in the history of Bharat! She must JUST scrap Income Tax to be hailed as "Best FM". Everything else doesn't matter to Bharatiyas.

[Flt Lt Anoop Verma (Retd.) 🇮🇳 @FltLtAnoopVerma]

I personally fall in the bracket of 33% tax

Not just today but for the last 10 years in the same bracket. Yes, all 10 years of Modi’s regime

Never ever got any specific relief in taxes or financial benefit from Modi Govt for my income group bracket

In fact capital gain taxes discouraged me to invest into multiple properties & so on

Now at the same time

I don’t vote for Modi with an expectation of personal gains or for buying multiple properties

I vote for him coz he works for the nation

He is developing India

He is working for poor

He is making India Strong

He is making Armed Forces great again

He is making India an economic power

Despite all the challenges of diversity, caste equations, language issues, different religions & fu€k all opposition

15 Lakhs plus income isn’t middle class in India but more than middle class

Remember only 2.2 % pay income tax in india means 98% people are below the income of 10 Lakhs

I am not that selfish to oppose Modi to get extra savings

Can’t support ‘Gazwa-E-Hind’ for few bucks

Nation Comes First

And if the nation goes then everything is gone

You, your family & kids - all linked to nation

Also remember you vote for savings but someone else is voting ONLY for religion & Caste
