Welcome to the stock market - Where the earnings are made up, and the price doesn't matter!

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

@volklub I have a Dec 2025 i20 N8 N-line. Love the car but this sounds horrible. It's hardly been 6 months...

Started using 1:3 xp100:xp95 blend already. 🤞

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

@jordansaluja_14 @volklub Use the Indian Oil App. I tried a few random pumps, every said no. Tried the ones mentioned in the app. Everyone had XP100. App has a filter for xp100 specific pumps near you.

Have some patience with the app. It ain't a masterpiece but it does its job well.

Down the coffee rabbit hole with my Delonghi EC890

Everything I have been doing so far is wrong, and everything I'll do in the foreseeable future will likely be wrong as well.

The hole is DEEP. This will be a fun weekend.

@_mrchaturvedi @Casio_USA I have had this watch for 6+ years. The official cost is ₹800 and the battery lasts 2yrs. Somehow this has been a constant.

I got it serviced recently for ~₹3k.
Pretty steep for a ₹20k watch, but good work by the technician.

I met an administrator recently and this was my first question - why don't we fine people who litter or spit on roads?

He told me fines won't and cannot work in this country. I asked him why, he gave me three reasons.

1. People are dheet. (stubborn). You fine them 200₹ or 500₹ or 5000₹ they will just deny to pay. Straight on your face. There is nothing you will be able to do. You think you can jail them for this? Jails are already full. You think you will do some lathi work? They will gather the entire local area or village on you. Would someone risk his or her life for 15-30k salary? I don't think so

2. Local volunteers and administration are people of people around. That traffic police guy you see on road is a distant family member or a friend of the guy who is breaking the signal or painting the footpath red. No one fines their own family members. If not family member, same religion or caste also plays a role here.

3. We are overloaded and there is too much of traffic and crowd everywhere. You cannot possibly stop every bike riding on footpath because that will cause huge traffic jam during peak hours. You cannot stop every car before zebra crossing. You cannot stop two people in a religious place of worship to maintain queue.

The only way to solve this problem is to educate the entire generation to generation. Or maybe some large revolution in the entire country like from tonight 8pm every truck will drive in 3rd lane. Every thar owner will have to go under test, every creta owner will have to change their horn and headlight.

@ccg33k Just got my ON protein refill yesterday from Instamart, thought this was gone for good.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to give away the trophy after the League Phase?

How's it fair to have a competition where some teams get 15-17 innings and other 14 innings to try for the same trophy?

You can finish in 3rd or 4th position and still get the trophy. How ridiculous?

[Aakash Chopra @cricketaakash]

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to give away the Orange and Purple Cap after the League Phase?
How’s it fair to have a competition where some players get 17 innings and others 14 innings?
Team doing well is rewarding…and the team must benefit and it does. Bigger pie of the prize-pool. But why individuals have an unfair advantage?

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

@imYadav31 @ProvilacMilk On the payment (PayU) page there's no option. Before that, it says invalid.

Is it only for new users?

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

@FPLMoonKnight @imYadav31 I would still transfer. It'll have way more utility than Bonvoy points.

@mainbhiengineer Unc is disappointed that people earning wages lower than him are merrily enjoying their lives, instead of being a miserable miser like him and his colleagues.

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

@TravelBluez Genuine question: If I come to you and ask for
1. A price check for a certain property with dates
2. A quote for an equivalent property for the same dates - in case you have something better

I'm looking to book at the best quote.
Would this be a paid service?

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

@TravelBluez The person's argument is hilarious. You should shadow-ban him and stop entertaining their requests.

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

Delayed - To open on August 15 instead of May.

Citizens 'last' approach.

Every state, every govt.

[ChristinMathewPhilip @ChristinMP_]

Bengaluru Metro’s Pink Line (Kalena Agrahara and Tavarekere): RDSO trials were completed on May 9 & is expected to submit its report within three weeks.

Based on the report, BMRCL will apply for nod from railway board through Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) & Chief Commissioner of Railway Safety (CCRS) @OfficialBMRCL

@hardcrystal007 @Kuma50531Kumar The stops in Bangalore are between 15-30kms apart by road. Lesser if new routes are laid.

Had a Jane Street interview in 2015 that still bothers me.

Final round. The guy puts a red button and a blue button on the table.

“Everyone on earth chooses red or blue. At settlement, if blue is >50%, everyone lives. Otherwise only red survives.”

I nod.

“Small twist,” he says. “Recruiting accidentally ordered the buttons from The Box. Every time you press your color, you get $1mm and one random person holding the other color dies.”

He writes on the board:

MAKE A MARKET IN BLUE > 50%

I ask, “Physical or cash settled?”

He says, “Physical.”

I say, “Then this isn’t a prisoner’s dilemma. It’s a path-dependent barrier option on a shrinking electorate with endogenous market impact.”

He doesn’t blink.

“A red press gets paid $1mm and removes a blue voter, so red flow is toxic. It pushes blue away from the barrier while monetizing the trade. A blue press removes red float, so near 50% it has massive gamma. Every fill changes the underlying, the denominator, and the survival curve.”

He asks, “What’s the $1mm worth?”

I say, “Nominal or mortality-adjusted? The payout settles in a state where the banking system, food supply, tax base, clearinghouses, and possibly Fedwire are all functions of cumulative button volume. You need a state-contingent dollar curve.”

He smiles for the first time.

“And counterparty risk?”

“Wrong-way risk. The people most likely to owe you money are exactly the people getting deleted. Dead counterparties don’t pay unless their estate posted margin.”

He nods.

“So what do you quote?”

I say, “No bid, infinite offer if I’m market making. The order flow is toxic and every trade moves the reference population.”

He says, “Assume you’re allowed to take.”

I say, “Then I lift blue. It’s positive carry, positive convexity, and self-hedging. I get paid $1mm, reduce red float, and move blue closer to the barrier.”

He says, “Size?”

I press blue.

The box pays out.

He drops.

Feedback: My model handled mortality-adjusted dollars, endogenous voter deletion, and barrier gamma.

Rejected: The interviewer was my counterparty.

@CRED_club What have you done to @Kuvera_In payment flow?

For the last 5 years my payment has been to ICCL/BSEstar ie DIRECT.

Today I paid Kuvera? Not the clearing corp directly?

So when I sell, who sends back the money?

WHY WAS NONE OF THIS INFORMED? I need my money safe.

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

I legit got my entire family to drop all other platforms and use @Kuvera_In instead. From 2020 until yesterday, it worked just fine.

It's all gimmicks and glamour over functionality in the name of design.

Should've renamed it as well.

RIP @Kuvera_In

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

Being one of the earliest users of Kuvera, I feel that @Kuvera_In is now completely ruined.

The UI used to be clean and intuitive. Now it is pushed for info, accesses, and this 'surplus' which is just liquid funds reworded.

Whatever @Kuvera_In built on transparency is gone.

[Aditya Goel @itsAdityaGoel]

Got to do that for the first time recently.

Dude has an Atlas and the rest of his family has entered. One more swipe is required. None of his other cards work.

When I reach the desk I offer to swipe a guest access on mine. FeelsGoodMan.

[Subhankar @CenturionGuy1]

Did this for 4 families so far:

1. A honeymooner struggling for 10 mins, while his wife calmly said “no worries, we’ll eat outside”. Had to step in for a brother.

2. An elderly couple who gave ashirwad, priceless.

3. Two families with kids, for obvious reason.
