@kotakneosupport I'm opening a new Kotak Neo demat account, and my existing holdings are in a CDSL demat account with Angel One. Is it possible to open my Kotak Neo demat account under CDSL instead of NSDL?

@Alphaalgo7 Consider Rupee depreciation as well.

[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

Unilever partnered with Kwality in India to Launch Kwality Walls Ice cream in 1995.

Amul launched their own Ice Cream line in 1996.

Amul, true its nature of putting quality first used Milk Fat in their Ice creams. Milk Fat is expensive, gives higher quality but reduces margins. But Amul didn't care.

Unilever in true British tradition, put profits over people's welfare, gave two hoots about the health of Indians and prioritized shareholder wealth over product quality.

They thought they could get away selling low quality ice cream at higher prices to uneducated natives and laugh all the way to the bank, like their predecessors East India company did for 150 years.

Unfortunately for them, things changed in 2011, when people finally understood the difference between Ice Cream and Frozen Desert. They realized one was bad, and the other was good.

And Kwality walls fell on the bad side of the equation.

Their sales fell off a cliff.

They tried legal challenges, aggressive marketing campaigns, hiring extensive manpower, hired celebrities, increased retailer margins, doled out incentives, gave away free stuff like Freezers and kept throwing money at the problem.

They tried everything. But they still couldn't defeat Amul in the field.

Finally Unilever realized they couldn't carry Kwality walls and decided to throw in the towel. They spun off their Ice cream division as a separate company.

And now in a final twist, the same Kwality Walls who once tried to convince Indians that their Vegetable fat filled Frozen Dessert was actually Ice cream and good for them, have now converted to milk fat-based Ice cream themselves.

They are now advertising Goodness of Milk and all. The exact same thing they have denied for 30 years.

Meanwhile, Amul keeps going from strength to strength.

When your competitor decides to emulate you, that is the final concession that you have won.

This whole episode also reinforces the age-old adage that a quality product always wins.

Kwality Walls had higher budgets, their salespeople were paid more, they gave freezers out like candy, their margins were higher, incentives were better, packaging was more expensive, the number of people on the street selling walls were larger than the army of a small nation, the marketing budget was higher than turnovers of many companies, they hired celebrities, did all sorts of new age marketing and followed all the marketing principles laid out by all the marketing gurus in the world.

But they had a bad product.

All Amul had was a good product.

Amul won.

Kwality walls lost.

Good Product always wins in the end.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

This is absolutely insane:

At 7:04 AM ET today, President Trump said “the US and Iran have had productive discussions" to end the Iran War.

By 7:10 AM ET, the S&P 500 surged +240 points adding +$2 TRILLION in market cap.

27 minutes later, Iran completely denied all of President Trump's claims and said there has been "no contact" with the US.

By 8:00 AM ET. the S&P 500 had fallen -120 points erasing -$1 trillion in market cap.

That's a $3 TRILLION swing market cap in 56 minutes, just in the S&P 500.

What is happening here?

The success of the Dhurandhar series feels personal to everybody.

So much so that whoever watched it is willing to fight for it against leftists and anti-India traitors.

The film has struck a raw nerve in all of us. It is not just about what we suffered, but about how that suffering was belittled, as though the victim were guilty of even demanding justice.

Dhurandhar showed how possible it was to harness the strength of this beautiful country and reclaim agency.

All it took was someone's willingness to make politically difficult decisions, and we practically dismantled Pakistan's terror networks and reduced its funding to zilch.

Dhurandhar feels personal because a) it is a ridiculously well-made film. b) It makes you feel through lived reality.

There is no over-the-top acting, no manipulative background score. The film reaches into the grief you had buried deep inside and weeps with you as it makes you weep in return.

And when Hamza, in a fit of rage, kills someone, you feel no sympathy, because every bone in your body wants to inflict that same pain in return.

And so when we realised that India finally had its moment, that India stood up and answered violence with violence and dismantled every single network that had been weaponised against us, it felt like closure.

It felt like a wound had been healed.
A wound we had forgotten even existed.

So anybody who even remotely accuses Dhurandhar of propaganda, or dismisses it under the pretence of "reviewing," is receiving exactly the treatment they deserve.

This is not about finishing Bollywood, though they deserved to be finished.

Any industry that glorified Pakistan and blamed the victim for being a victim deserves to be finished.

This is about finally not feeling helpless.
About finally realising that we are stronger, but were systematically hollowed out by a government that despised this country and did everything to keep it subjugated.

Dhurandhar feels personal because finally, somebody stood up and said: I will not apologise for being a Hindu, for being an Indian, and for hating Pakistan.

Thank you @AdityaDharFilms.

You have no idea what immense service you rendered to this beautiful country through your art.

While the nation is always greater than the individual, some individuals raise the stature of their nation simply by loving it.

@30Cagr @AngelOne Are they giving any exceptions for users based on request on this regard?

[Gokul Raj @megokulraj]

@30Cagr @AngelOne Exactly their RMS policy is bullshit. Couldn't execute even 50rs. Strikes for Sensex.

[Gokul Raj @megokulraj]

@AngelOne, why are you not letting me buy Deep OTM strikes for Sensex? How am I supposed to Hedge my Sell Position?

I have placed an order for Strike 77800.00PE trading at a premium near 40rs. But the order was instantaneously rejected. Please Clarify.

[Utkarsh Naithani @utkarshnaithani]

I feel compelled to speak up. I have been associated with @ishafoundation since 2004. I left a high paying corporate job, took a sabbatical and lived at the Isha Ashram with @SadhguruJV for nearly 3 years during 2008-2010. (Along with my saadhna, I used to teach at @IshaHomeSchool , do translation work and was involved with setting up curriculum for @IshaSamskriti .)
I have had the privilege of seeing youngsters self introspect and ‘choose’ to take up the path of Brahmacharya. I have seen the transformations in those youngsters. In sanatan Dharma, living as a Grahastha or a Brahmachari has always been a choice. Our History is laden with powerful examples of Yogis developing in both these paths. To target This tradition while leaving out others similar (I’ll leave it at that) is disappointing. I have interacted with Radhe since she was a little kid. To drag Her in this… if this is not a personal attack at Sadhguru then I don’t know what else to call it. (Now I hear that nearly 100 cops entered ashram while the case is still on to do ‘verification’ and ‘checks’.)
I say this with respect. Perhaps we need to sincerely look beyond the incident and ask ourselves Why one certain person from one certain way of living is being targeted (I don’t know what other word to use).
