While driving to office today I saw at least 4 posters from politicians, announcing training programs for various govt exams, most of which were for class C and D
Considering the govt priority on skilling and entrepreneurship, shouldn't they be announcing training programs on plumbing, waterproofing, construction, Electrician, AC repair, Carpentry etc?
Why do still value a govt peon with zero skull over a skilled technician having their own business?
And if politicians won't value the latter, how do you expect people to take them up as professions?
@ActusDei What's the weightage of those top 3?. S&P 500 already has huge influence on AI and where is health care, water, consumer staples, emerging markets, mining, defense, all world index? Why only Brazil... It's very vague presentation just to influence something I don't know.
Research shows a 72-hour fast can completely rebuild your immune system.
A study from the University of Southern California has revealed that fasting for 72 hours can trigger a complete regeneration of the immune system.
Researchers found that prolonged fasting causes the body to deplete its glucose and fat reserves, forcing it into a detoxifying state that eliminates damaged cells and toxins.
When normal eating resumes, stem cells are activated, leading to the production of fresh, healthy white blood cells. This immune reboot effect was observed in both mice and humans, particularly in chemotherapy patients who showed improved immune health after fasting cycles.
Lead researcher Dr. Valter Longo explains that during fasting, a gene called PKA is suppressed—this gene must be turned off for stem cells to enter regenerative mode.
As a result, the immune system essentially clears out older, weaker components and rebuilds itself anew. While more research is needed to explore the full range of benefits across organs, the study suggests that fasting could be a powerful, drug-free strategy for enhancing immunity, especially for those with weakened systems due to aging or cancer treatment.

Under the what are they smoking category
As per the latest National Family and Health survey
85% of India's children in the 6-23 month age group do not receive an 'adequate' diet
32% children under-5 yrs age are underweight
More than half of India's graduates up to the age of 29 are unemployed
Even among those that are shown as employed less than 7% are in salaried jobs
But yeah the most important demographic advice is to have three or more children 🤦

Borrow. Don't steal!
Today I saw a reel from of finfluencer who runs a wealth company
It repeated point by point the same arguments that are in this @EconomicTimes article of mine and even ended with the same punchline
Nowhere did he acknowledge that this was borrowed wisdom
Checked with my team... He is on our mailing list so had definitely seen the article
I don't know what the problem is with Indians that they have zero regard for intellectual property
Acknowledging the source would not have taken away anything from him but then now he has a viral reel, with a few thousand likes, without having done the work... Probably congratulating himself on it

If you are frustrated with Indian markets, ZERODHA, GROWW, ANGEL ONE & UPSTOX have secured the nod to offer international and US stock investing through GIFT CITY.
Hopefully in 3 months, we'll be able to lose money in International markets too

I was talking with an NRI friend. Not rich. His 2 years old daughter suffered skull fracture due to fall. Local hospital transferred her promptly helicopter to the tertiary Children’s hospital in major city. (Imagine a middle class kid air transferred from Merath to National Children’s hospital in Delhi without any worry for cost). Thats what we should be aiming for.
But Same NRIs will tell you how health care in India is the best because they could get X-ray of their bruised Pinky finger immediately in posh hospital in India. Don’t listen to them.
₹1,000 investment became ₹9,000 in just 90 days.
Today we harvested 11 kg of chia seeds.
What started as a small experiment in pots was later tried on a small piece of farmland. The crop grew surprisingly well with minimal effort.
Chia seems well suited to black cotton soil and can be grown much like sesame. With increasing demand for healthy foods, it may offer farmers an interesting cash crop opportunity.
Weight loss is not rocket science.
Most diets that work are simply different ways of creating a calorie deficit.

Summary of the much awaited video: Lawrence's mom didn't want him joining politics when he was with Rajini citing the toxic political culture. Now after seeing Vijay breaking the cash-for-votes, caste and religion cards on May 4, his mom has given him green signal.
If you all say yes, Lawrence master will enter politics and contest Trichy East byelections (for TVK). If you all say no also, he will. Poi pozhappa paarunga, adhaan saami.
