VCK and IUML had every right to join the cabinet with a clear condition that no AIADMK rebel gets a berth. TVK already gave that assurance. Then why stay outside?
Sitting on the fence as 'outside support' and maximum excuse to walk away anytime. That's not ideological purity, that's political convenience dressed up as principle.

Congratulations @actorvijay sir.

First doubted and then crowned.
Happened at our home and now it’s happening in our neighbouring home.

Underdog winning is always absolute cinema ( or should I say absolute politics ?) :)
Hope great things follow for the people of Tamil Nadu who have made their decision clear.

My Demand: Make Long Term Capital Gain TAX on Equities NIL for individual investor.

I welcome the hike in STT (security transaction tax) on derivatives as it can curb reckless speculation. Nearly 90% of retail investors lose money in F&O, turning markets into gambling.

When STT was originally introduced, LTCG was zero. But now with both STT and LTCG in place, investors are disincentivised.

I urge the govt to abolish LTCG on equities for individuals, as done in Switzerland, Singapore, UAE & others. This will boost household wealth, reduce speculation, and shift savings from gold & real estate into equities.

🚨 Myntra Dead Support Alert

If you're doing blinkdeal or big-ticket purchases like gold coins from Myntra, remember: all is well… only till all is well.

Case in point: Ordered a gold coin on 30th Aug. Expected delivery: 14th Sep. It's now 1.5 months later, neither the product nor a refund has arrived.

Myntra support ? Clueless. Tried every channel, emails, calls, zero help.

Meanwhile, gold prices are up 20%, so even if Myntra refunds now, the buyer loses the upside they deserved.

The question is simple: when will Myntra provide a resolution, and how, especially when the product hasn't even shipped ?

🚀 DCB Metal Milestone Madness – 64,000 Points Unlocked! 🎉

Wow! This is a whopping jump – from a steady 31K–34K range straight to 64,000 points! 💥

I kept myself strictly disciplined 📝 – every purchase routed through gift vouchers, no exceptions. This way, each transaction is optimized to the fullest. Along with that, I made sure to pace my spends smartly to unlock the milestone benefit at the right time. Together, this discipline + milestone gave me the push to cross into 64,000 points territory.

And honestly, every time this milestone benefit lands, it feels like DCB Metal Black always stands above Infinia 🏆 … especially when you hold it as a free card at ₹8L spends 😍. But yes, the temptation of Infinia never really fades 👀.

⚡ Follow me to understand exactly how I approach milestones and why I still believe DCB Metal Black can outshine even the most premium cards.

Whole @antimetal team will be tuning in

[TBPN @tbpn]

We asked @realsohamparekh if he had been working multiple full-time jobs at once.

"It is true."

“I’m not proud of what I’ve done. That’s not something I endorse either. But no one really likes to work 140 hours a week, I had to do it out of necessity."

"I was in extremely dire financial circumstances."

"I’m not a very people person. I don’t share much about what’s going on in my life. So I just thought: if I work multiple places, maybe I can elevate myself out of the situation faster.”

[Soham Parekh - in/acc @realsohamparekh]

There’s a lot being said about me right now, and most of you don’t know the full story.

If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I love to build.

That’s it. I’ve been isolated, written off, and shut out by nearly everyone I’ve known and every company I’ve worked at. But building is the only thing I’ve ever truly known, and it’s what I’ll keep doing.

Earlier today, I signed an exclusive founding deal to be founding engineer at one company and one company only. They were the only ones willing to bet on me at this time. The team is cracked, they back misfits, and they’re building something absolutely insane in the video AI space.

We’re launching at the end of this month.
More details tomorrow in my TBPN interview.

I’m pissed. And I’ve got something to prove.
