Historic Scenes in Delhi.
Modi’s Police blocked Metro Stations to stop people from going to the protest site, but this started troubling regular commuters too.
All of them started chanting Vande Matram and Modi teri Taanashahi nahi chalegi in front of his thullas.
This nation has stopped fearing this regime 👏

Flat Market Isn't a Warning. It’s an Invitation.
If the markets have delivered little to nothing over the past two years or so, the first instinct for most investors (and specifically new ones) is to worry, and wonder if something is broken in the markets. But that is not true. Nothing is broken. Markets always move in cycles. If there are good days, then there will be bad days. If there are good years, then there will be bad years. And the very periods which feel most disappointing, i.e. when the returns are flat-to-negative, and when your patience is being tested and is on brink, is exactly after which the stage is being set for the next upcycle. Whether it happens from tomorrow, next week, next month or next year, no one can predict that. But eventually, pendulum of market will oscillate to the other side. Every bust lays the groundwork for the next recovery, just as every boom carries within itself the seeds of decline. A market that has gone sideways for 1–2 years is not a market that has stopped working. Rather it is a market that is quietly doing the most important work: rebalancing the risk-reward equation in favour of investor. Historically, buying after a period of stagnation or negative returns, dramatically improves the odds of strong future returns. There is data to prove it if you look for it.
You can think of a flat market as a pendulum resting near the centre, or even swinging back toward value. Howard Marks refers to patience as a "time arbitrage". And that is what you need to show now. Patience. And the willingness to wait longer. The investors who will compound wealth meaningfully over the next decade and get rich will not be the ones who sold during these down years in frustration. They will be those who put their head down, accept these down periods, and keep investing as and when possible throughout this painful period. It is always like that.
And when you think on these lines, then a consolidating/falling market, is not a disappointment but precisely the setup that long-term investors should welcome.
Disc. - This is not investment advice, please. Always act in line with your risk appetite and investment horizons. And if in doubt, please talk to your investment advisor.
This is what happens when people stay informed and speak up.
1- UP Government’s MOU with Puch AI has been cancelled
2- Delhi’s ₹6.2 crore VIP boat plan has been scrapped
A reminder: always question and critically evaluate government policies. Never support them blindly.
I think over the next 12 months there may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy UAE equities
The kind of setup where even if you go all in, you still feel underexposed.
This is roughly my plan :
Phase 1
Start slowly accumulating the more defensive, resilient names over the next 6 to 8 months:
- Salik
- Dewa
- Adnoc Gas + Drilling
- Fab
- Taqa
- Adib
Phase 2
Dubai is far more exposed than Abu dhabi to tourism, real estate, discretionary spending, and foreign sentiment. That means it will likely take longer to find a bottom
But it will also offer the best opportunities once the market fully prices the damage
- Emaar Properties + Development
- Emirates NBD
Probably is still too early, but you definitely want to bookmark this and pay attention.
If you have lived in UAE, you know for a fact that they will bounce back, is not a matter of “if” but only a matter of “when”
To all those who call the UAE home and guests in our beloved nation.
The UAE places its security and the protection of all citizens, residents, and visitors at the very top of its priorities. With God’s grace, the UAE is fully prepared to confront these threats.
I extend my deepest appreciation to our brave armed forces, our committed security services, and all national institutions and teams working tirelessly to keep our country safe. They represent the highest standards of readiness and cooperation. We are truly proud of them.
I would also like to underscore my sincere gratitude for the awareness shown by our community of Emiratis and our resident brothers and sisters, partners in this nation, who have expressed their genuine love and loyalty to the UAE through both words and actions. In the UAE, everyone is Emirati through their love for this land and their contributions to it.
May God have mercy on the victims and grant the injured a speedy recovery. With God’s blessing, the UAE—the land of Zayed—will remain strong in its unity, steadfast in defending its sovereignty, and steadily advancing towards the future.
Have been watching Al Jazeera more or less non-stop since the US-Israel war on Iran started. It's been quite rigorous - not only do they have correspondents in key capitals, but they're bringing in a range of commentators - from the doves to the hawks. And the anchors are pulling it all together, asking informed questions of ground reporters. Al Jazeera draws its funding from the Qatari government, a key US ally. But this doesn't seem to be reflected in their coverage. Maybe, more seasoned observers can pick out nuances.
But to an outsider, their coverage has been pretty sound and they allow debates to happen. Obviously, one is completely avoiding Indian TV news at the moment. But it would be good to know of other sources to follow, too!
Y’all are fools if you think India’s exit from the #T20WorldCup will lead to @GautamGambhir’s expulsion. Have you not seen him at press conferences? That level of entitlement doesn’t come from being a sportsman. He’s a political appointee. They don’t replace corrupt ministers, he’s only a Coach. No matter how many formats we lose in, he’s not going away before 2027 World Cup.
The Executive Council of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi has issued a resolution appointing Mr. Yusuff Ali as a member of the Board of Directors of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry
While some of you are busy being racist on X against Indians others are busy building billion-dollar businesses in the UAE
Watch us dismantle your hatred and turn it into fuel
Let me explain what this means so that you understand better.
.
Sometimes tiny cells in our stomach get very stubborn and turn into bad guys called cancer. They grow way too fast and don't listen to the body's rules.
.
But you see, these smart scientists in Korea didn't want to fight them with big scary bombs and bazookas like old medicines do. Instead they sat the cells on a wooden bench and said "Look here you stubborn cells, why don't you just remember who you really are and be good again?
.
So they made a pretend computer twin of our belly cells. Just like a magic video game version. (something like that sha) so they played around in the game to find the three bossy switches that were making the cells stay stubborn.
.
.
Those three bossy switches have funny names. They are MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2.
Fantastic 3 lool
.
The scientists turned those three mean switches Off. Poof.
And just like that guess what? The stubborn cancer cells were like "Ohhh… I remember now!
.
Then they calmed down, grew up properly, and turned back into nice, normal belly helper cells. No more bad growing.
They then tried this in Mice, and the poor mice got better. The bad lumps got smaller because the cells stopped being the bullies they were.
It's like telling your barking Dog at home to shusss and calm down. And it actually calms down.
.
.
This isn't ready for humans yet, as it's still developing. But it's going to help out someday. And well, a lot of people are gonna be wayyyy happier.
.
.
.
Kudos to the scientists once again and I'm super happy about this development and the positive impact it's going to have on affected people 💪🏾💪🏾

I bought my first car on 11 October 2017.
My monthly income back then was around ₹50,000. The car EMI? ₹10,000.
On paper, this purchase broke every rule of personal finance. Sensible people around me said don’t do it.
Only my father said, "let me know if you need more money to manage your monthly expenses." ❣️
After EMI, rent, petrol and groceries, there was barely anything left.
I had accidentally engineered financial pressure into my life. But that pressure did something unexpected it forced me to grow.
I started taking freelance work just to stay comfortable. Late nights, weekends, extra projects. Within a couple of years, my freelance income was matching and then surpassed my salary.
That car quietly became my accountability partner. It saw my worst months and my best wins.
Job stress. Breakthroughs. Silent night drives. Long trips to my home. Early morning airport runs. It wasn’t just transport. It was freedom.
In 2017, my only goal was simple: travel safely across NCR, avoid the chaos of public transport, and go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted.
I was naive. I didn’t care about safety ratings, engine specs, platform debates or internet opinions. I bought it for independence.
Looking back, it was a financially reckless decision… and one of the best personal decisions I ever made.
Sometimes a little discomfort is what pushes you into your next version.
And here’s what I truly believe now: if you can responsibly afford a car, buy it. Not as a status symbol but as a safety net.
For you. For your family. For emergencies. For freedom. For dignity in movement.
Some purchases don’t just add convenience. They add security and confidence to your life.
Cheers!
Vince Gilligan claims Hank's bathroom reveal in 'BREAKING BAD' is still a topic of debate among writers, writers disagree on why Walter would expose such incriminating evidence.
Walter didn't want to get caught, nor was he arrogant, he just wasn't cautious about the things that were more insignificant to him as that book was.
In France, a father caring for his five-year-old daughter who was battling leukemia received 262 days of paid leave after his coworkers donated their own vacation days so he could stay by her side without losing income.
His colleagues quietly came together to give him nearly a full year of paid time off, allowing him to focus entirely on his daughter’s treatment and wellbeing.
Rich money is the silent money.
A common question I hear is whether Dubai real estate will fall because the AED is pegged to the USD, especially given what happened during earlier US recessions in 2008-09 or 2013-14
My view is that positioning of Dubai in “Brave new world” has changed.
Dubai real estate today is not just a function of the US cycle anymore.
What is driving Dubai is rich money. And rich money moves quietly.
We are seeing a clear migration of ultra-high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs, hedge funds, and family offices into Dubai. Lakshmi Mittal spending more time in Dubai and Revolut co-founder Nik Storonsky shifting his base are good examples of a broader trend.
Dubai offers what much of the West no longer does. Safety. Predictable rules. Low taxes. Strong enforcement. The West has become expensive, over regulated, and too woke for many wealthy individuals. The UAE has positioned itself as the alternative. Business friendly, tax friendly, and focused on growth rather than ideology.
This is also why hedge funds and asset managers are setting up offices in Dubai in large numbers. When capital moves, people follow. When people follow, housing demand follows.
Dubai’s population growth today is not just about workers. It is increasingly about wealthy families and long-term residents.
Looking ahead, Dubai real estate remains well supported. Investor and end user demand remains strong, economic diversification continues, and policies like the 10-year Golden Visa tied to property ownership help anchor long term demand.
With a stable currency, tax free income, improving financing conditions following recent rate cuts, and strong geopolitical positioning, Dubai continues to be seen as a high yield safe haven in an increasingly volatile world.
The UAE is also one of the few countries that has managed to stay on good terms with India, Russia, the US, and China. It has remained genuinely non-aligned and consistently put its own economic interests first.
In my view, that combination matters far more for Dubai real estate than what happens in the US business cycle.
Rich money is silent money. And it is still flowing into Dubai.
If you can earn ₹1 lakh per month remotely, move to your village.
- Renovate your village home.
- Buy things like a sofa, TV, internet, washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge.
- Keep one house helper and give someone a job.
- Buy some empty land at a low price, grow your own vegetables and fruits, and eat fresh food every day.
- Buy one cow and take good care of her. Do not keep her tied on a hard floor. Let the calf drink milk and use extra fresh milk to make paneer, curd, and ghee.
- Wake up to fresh air and natural sunlight.
- Hear birds instead of traffic noise.
Real happiness is not in big cities.
