@SagarAwatade This resonates deeply. I faced similar challenges for declaring imports honestly instead of playing the undervaluation game. The financial cost was significant, but the emotional toll was worse. More people need to understand what honest businesses go through. @nsitharaman

@hseekan @SagarAwatade are you a regular importer of materials? the hs codes have a lot of overlap for the authorities to extract juice and harass small businesses.

India hasn't been the first in any of the large areas in the past. We got our internet access right two decades after every one else. We skipped most of the CDMA drama and went straight to GSM+3G after the world had figured out mobile telephone way earlier. We were late to payments, but figured out a way better way to clear payments than most others.

We have been late to every new technological change, mostly because we've been loathe to invest large sums where failure is a given. Even our space and nuclear programs - where we have had to work indigenously with local research - we've taken a lot of time, to avoid major failures.

The cost of failure is not just financial in India, it's the fear of shame that runs way too deep. New nice looking road? Oh look, not enough traffic on it, shame. That rocket didn't take off? Shame on us, we should have worked harder so it wouldn't fail the first time. Failed an exam? Shame. A gap year in your resume to try something out? Shame.

This feeling is pervasive, but it's changing as we speak. As it does, India is investing into things, and we embrace failure a lot more these days. This will come from the next brand of companies that aren't afraid of failure, perhaps not so much from the older set of companies that have designed themselves to be cash flow giants. Not just IT, but in FMCG, etc. (Though in metals, we have seen massive risk being taken)

There are companies that have transformed themselves through very large risk oriented projects - the biggest company in India is one. But I believe technological risk will be taken by startups and will be funded by people in the space who've seen what risk can produce, through successful exits in ESOPs or as founders from companies in otherwise boring spaces.

We've lacked that capital really, because otherwise capital has been preserved in large families - risk taking is obviously stunted there as preservation takes a larger role in their future. Now that the first gen capital is more, expect some of this to happen. And no, I don't think the government should play this role (they can help by deregulating business) - it's private capital that should fund the next big thing. From the people that don't consider it shameful to fail.

As India marks Republic Day, it is worth asking a difficult question: does dignity extend to the dying?

Donating blood is one of the simplest ways to save a life.

If you’re healthy and eligible, your single donation can support patients in critical need and make a real difference.

We encourage more youngsters to step forward and donate blood.

So, all that Indore achieved in cleanliness was only superficial… extremely cosmetic.. while the city’s internal infrastructure reeked terror.. with many ground level corporators (from the same ruling party) asking for replacing water pipes as early as 2 years ago..

This govt is absolutely focused on superficial, on the surface, what is marketable, gimmicks.. while the internal rot spreads like a cancer.. it now appears that the country is weaker than ever… both infrastructurally and spiritually…

[Shreya @shreyamatsharma]

I was at the Kensington Oval for the WC finals & this is my version of what I saw at the stadium:

I was seated at long on, it was 14.4 when Klaasen hit Axar for another 6, & single handedly deflated India. By the end of the over India will have conceded 34 runs in 8 balls. Scoreboard read 30 off 30 with 6 wickets in hand.

Players shoulders had dropped. Intensity was gone. South African pavillion which was right besides me, was clapping and cheering, loudest of the day. Fans mostly Indians had gone quiet.
Onslaught from Miller & Klaasen was so brutal, you could feel the eerie uneasiness in the atmosphere. Fans had succumbed to lost cause, shocked at what had just happened, already talking about losing 3 finals in 12 months. Some promising never to go to another game ever. Resigning to weeks of depression and sadness that was going to ensue.

Ball was now given to by no means a lanky pacer. In land of Joel Garner, the big bird, this was a small bird at best. He ran in to complete the formalities, but he had other ideas. He still had 12 legal deliveries or 40% of game to make any sort of impact.

South African support staff just sat a little more upright now. Their plan to score runs off spinners had worked brilliantly, hard part of the job was already done.
Each ball was an event in that over, every delivery he bowled, it felt like electricity would run through entire stadium. All the deflated, undercharged fans and players were getting turbo charged by this genius, one ball at a time. That over did not bring any wicket, but it charged everyone in that ground, he instilled belief it's not fucking over yet. Dropping shoulders were more upright now, nervous energy was rushing through SA camp.

I will do injustice to describe how it felt, but best I can describe is he was the pied piper of Kensington oval, a true genius, a magician was at work that afternoon. It felt like SRK was giving his 70 minute Chak De speech or was listening Nawazuddin Siddique's Bajrangi bhaijaan news report or Vicky Kaushal's URI rally. That over was nothing but a rally cry for the stadium.
Some 70 year old's in first row were banging the barricade, not worrying about their weak bodies, younger ones shouting so loud, their vocal cords would fall off, clapping so hard their hands were on the verge of bleeding. Entire stadium was now turbo charged pro max.

Miller and Klaasen knew they will need to work around this magician. Their skills too pale today in front of his brilliance. In comes Hardik, India's only choice at the moment. They knew this is a golden chance to score runs off this over and game will be sealed shut. Klaasen goes after it and Hardik reaps rewards. Belief even stronger now. Hardik bowls a clutch over, manages to keep the momentum in India's favor.

The pied piper comes back for his last 6 balls. Stadium was already rallying behind him, it was the time to hit the hammer. Jansen who had a poor game until now was visibly under confident. First up to Miller and it was a peach. Jansen on non striker end dreading to face the magician. His turn came on ball 4. Ball flew one bounce to boundary past Rishab Pant, but only after taking one of the bails with it. Grandstand which was built only for this world cup and was a temporary fixture could collapse any minute by the sheer thumping it was taking by the fans jubilant. Dark clouds forming over with lightning in the distance. You could not tell if it was the weather system or our very own Thor's doing who was welding his hammer.

Maharaj coming in next had one job now, shield Miller from this Thor. He manages to do that but only to read 20 off 2 overs. India's best ever had 6 runs, 1 wicket coming off in his 2 overs, but more importantly he had rallied his teammates, electrified an entire stadium and made SA dressing room running firmly on nervous energy now

I witnessed magic, a leader, and a spell of pace bowling in the lands of Marshall and Garner which even they would be mighty proud of.
