The hardest battle is between heart and brain. Your heart wants what it wants and your brain wants you to be practical. If they both agree on the same thing, congrats you are a lucky person!

Before the world knew the power of Big Pharma, a journalist in a tiny lab in Bombay created a substance so potent it triggered a trade war with London. It was a yellow grease that did not just soothe headaches but funded a movement, bypassed British blockades, & became 1 of the few Indian products to make the Empire's own medicine look like scented water.

Unlike other brands started by chemists, Amrutanjan was founded by Kasinadhuni/Kasinathuni Nageswara Rao, a man who was primarily a journalist & a freedom fighter. In the late 1800s, the pain balm market in India was a British monopoly. If your head throbbed, you bought imported ointments. Rao saw this as a tax on pain. He retreated into a lab & perfected a formula that was significantly more potent than anything coming out of London.

The British tried to push their own balms like Vicks/early menthol rubs as sophisticated & odorless. They attempted to smear Amrutanjan as primitive because of its overpowering scent. Rao leaned into the scent. He realized that in a country where literacy was low, a brand could not just be a name, it had to be an experience.

He distributed free samples at music concerts (Sabhas) & religious festivals. By the time the British tried to patent the market for pain relief, the entire Indian public had already associated the smell of camphor & menthol with trust. The British balms felt alien & weak compared to the sensory explosion of the yellow tin.

The smell of Amrutanjan... that piercing, camphor-heavy aroma became the literal scent of the freedom struggle. If you walked into a room & it smelled of Amrutanjan, it was a silent signal: A patriot is present. It was a scent the British police could not arrest, yet it was everywhere.

The British had a Patent Medicine Tax that made imported drugs expensive. However, by classifying Amrutanjan as an Ayurvedic Proprietary Medicine, Rao managed to navigate a complex legal gray area. He essentially used the British legal system against itself. By proving his ingredients were ancient yet his manufacturing was modern, he avoided the crippling taxes that applied to purely Western drugs, while maintaining a price point (initially 10 annas) that made British imports look like daylight robbery Rao fought back not just in the market, but in the press. He used the profits from the balm to fund Andhra Patrika, 1 of the most influential anti-British newspapers.

The British were literally paying for their own downfall. Every time a British officer’s wife bought a jar of Amrutanjan for a migraine (because it worked better than the London balms), she was inadvertently funding the printing of revolutionary literature that called for the end of the Raj.

By the 1930s, this Indian yellow grease was being exported to Indian diaspora & locals in South Africa & Ceylon. It became a global symbol of Eastern Wisdom defeating Western Chemistry. It was 1 of those few occasions, an Indian OTC (Over the Counter) product achieved cult status internationally w/o a single pound of British investment.

In fact, the yellow tin became so iconic that it did not need a label in the villages. The color & the smell were the brand. It was a biological Swadeshi. While others were fighting with words, Rao was fighting with molecular relief.

Krishna declines the food offered by Duryodhan & says - one should eat at someone's place either out of affection or out of distress. You have no affection for me & I am not in distress. He also says never have food with one thinks I'll of you.

Donald trump wanted to paint the White House. He called three contractors for quotes.

The Chinese guy quoted $3 million. The European guy quoted $7 million. The Indian guy quoted $10 million.

Trump asked the Chinese guy “How did you quote $3 million?” The Chinese guy replied “$1 million for paint, $1 million for labor and $1 million profit.”

Trump asked the European guy. He replied: “$3 million for paint, $2 million for labor and $2 million profit.”

Trump asked the Indian guy. He replied: “$4 million for you. $3 million for me. And we will give $3 million to the Chinese guy and ask him to paint it.”

The Indian guy got the contract. 😄

In Bharat, we call it ‘joint family’. And we are told constantly by woke feminists that it is ‘suffocating’. But reinvent it in a Gora household and call it ‘intergenerational living’ and suddenly, it becomes ‘cool’!

@Rishabh2970 He is a good journalist but had some personal bad experiences with doctors and so he keeps on going after random doctors on X. It’s same like, not all journalists are like him, some are like his old colleagues from India today whom we abuse. Fact ?

Major cheat code for life: Be patient with yourself when you’re trying to become someone you’ve never been. You’ll feel lost, unsure, and tempted to quit. Don't. Change feels chaotic because your old self is fighting for survival. Expect it to be a battle. But also expect to win.
