I come from a gold jewellery business family. This is the WORST Diwali season we’ve seen in 10 years karigars saying no work, no money.
Yet on paper, listed jewellery companies show record growth.
Here’s the hidden truth 👇🏻
My car broke down today, so I booked an auto home. It was a brand-new electric one. The driver, Vivek Singh, looked to be in his forties: quiet, focused, the kind of man who keeps to himself.
At a busy red light, a delivery boy pulled up beside us and, eyeing the auto, asked, “Ek charge mein kitna chal jaata hai?”
Vivek started replying in excitement, as if he’d been waiting for that question. “Company 210 bolti hai, lekin 190 hai. Ek charge me poora din nikal jaata hai, chalate jao, chalate jao. 20–25 ride ho jaati hain, charge khatam hi nahi hota.” The delivery boy asked about earnings. He shrugged: “Din ka 3–3.5 hazaar ho jaata hai. Koi ghate ka sauda nahi.”
Signal green. We moved ahead. But the delivery boy was still interested. He started driving next to us and asked, “Kitne me pada?” Vivek said, “Interest mila kar 6 lakh. 13–13 hazar ki 44 kisht hai. 70–80 mahina mai kama leta hu, usme se kisht aaram se nikal jaati hai. Kyu kisi ke yaha 15–20 ki naukri karna?”
The delivery boy laughed and rode off, but now I was curious. I asked, 20–25 ride matlab poora din hi bahar rehte honge. “Subah 8 nikalta hu, raat 10-11 wapas,” he said.
I said, fir aapki life kya rahi. He replied, “Agar kul ko gareebi se bahar nikalna hai to kisi ek peedhi ko apna sukh chhod kar ji-jan se mehnat karni padegi. Ek baar ghar ban jaaye, bachhe kuch ban jaayein, fir jiyenge apni zindagi.” He said that with the same excitement, without any complaint, no gareebi, majboori ka rona.
He dropped me at my stop. I watched him merge into traffic, a quiet man doing what’s expected from a man: providing. While mothers get due love, care, affection, and respect for what they sacrifice for the family, and rightly so, fathers’ sacrifice is generally downplayed as basic duty.
I hope his children grow up to make all this worth it for him. That, at least, is the bare minimum he deserves.
We don't shut down hospitals for doctors to take vacations
We don't shut down police department for cops to take vacations
Why do we then shut down courts for the Judges to take vacations
WELL SAID @sanjeevsanyal 👏
This is beyond disappointing. Mumbai’s ₹14000 crore Coastal Road already looks like patchwork. I feel betrayed—this was supposed to be world-class infrastructure. L&T and BMC must be held accountable. Is this what we paid for? #Mumbai#CoastalRoad#InfrastructureFail

Do You Know What Does Shape Of New Parliament Mean?
The Shri Yantra consists of 9 interlocking triangles 4 upward ones which represent 'Shiva' & 5 downward ones represent 'Shakti'.
The Central Part looks like Shape of New Parliament building.
My Guess, the New Parliament building represents Shiva-Shakti's Divine Union for Creation.

Big names like Einstein, Heisenberg, Schroedinger, Hahn, von Braun etc worked in Germany in 1920s and 1930s.
How come they were so much ahead of scientists elsewhere?
