No point in taking part in any exhibition in India going forward.
AI Summit in Delhi was an absolute shit show.
There is no execution at all.
We pay for a booth.
Then we set it up under stress and chaos.
And in return, we find that:
• stalls aren’t ready
• real buyers aren’t there
• families are walking around for timepass
• samples getting stolen
• hours getting wasted for VIP visits
And this is not just us.
Same thing happened with other manufacturers.
An AI event that has No WiFi.
Does not allow laptops or UPI/Card Payments.
This is embarrassment.
So we’re done.
We’ll meet buyers 1:1 and in overseas exhibitions
Not burn time, money, and energy on manufacturing/hardware exhibitions in India.
RT if you have not received your Income Tax Refund.
As per CBDT, refunds for ITR filed in FY25 should be processed by December end!
So, have you received your refund? If not, raise your grievance today.
Imagine this.
You file your Income Tax Return in July.
Every income reported.
Every deduction correct.
No shortcuts. No jugaad.
Then the Income Tax Department sleeps for 5 months 😴
Suddenly, in the last week of December, they wake up and say:
👉 “Your ITR needs changes.”
Fine.
But here’s the joke 👇
• You get only 7 days
• No clear email on what exactly needs to be fixed
• Deadline: 31st December
Miss it?
➡️ You can’t file a revised return anymore
➡️ You’re forced to file an Updated Return
➡️ Which means extra penalty + extra interest
➡️ For a mistake you weren’t even told about clearly
So let me get this straight:
✔️ Taxpayer files early
✔️ Taxpayer follows the rules
❌ Department delays processing
❌ Department gives zero clarity
❌ Taxpayer pays the price
Why is the cost of delay always borne by the citizen and never by the system?
If the department takes 5 months to process, why does the taxpayer get 7 days to respond?
This isn’t compliance.
This is coercion by deadline.
And then we wonder why people are scared of the tax system.
Who designs processes like this?
Extremely pathetic service from @BlueDart_ , @BlueDartCares
My order was to be delivered on 18th oct, it reached my city one week back but it has not been delivered yet. Status shows delivery postponed on customer request. Customer support is pathetic, they do not respond back.
@safiranand@BlueDart_@BlueDartCares My order was to be delivered on 18th oct, it has reached my city one week back but it has not been delivered yet. Status shows delivery postponed on customer request. Customer support is pathetic, they do not respond on emails and pone call disconnects.
I booked 2 tickets (up and down) for my mother in law (senior citizen) in 3 AC. Total cost was ₹1565. This included UPI transaction charges as well.
We cancelled her ticket and we got back ₹1130. This means we spent ₹430 (27% of the paid value even though we are not travelling)
Now, why am I sharing this? This is why.
- Her ticket will eventually be bought by someone else, who also pays ₹1565 or maybe much much more in Tatkal.
- Two People who are in RAC position also pay the FULL amount but share their seat with someone else.
- The Cancellation Charge is too High which becomes a burden for Tax Paying Citizens.
I request @AshwiniVaishnaw ji to consider the following:
- Please bring back Senior Citizen Subsidy. It really would acknowledge their contribution.
- Please reduce the cancellation charges, since you anyway recover the amount from the WL/RAC passengers. It should not be more than 10% of the cost paid (>24 hours before departure).
- We pay transaction charges of ₹20 - ₹30 for every ticket we buy using UPI. This needs to be much lower & this does not get refunded back.
- For RAC passengers, it is unfair to pay the full amount and yet share the seat with another passenger. Please refund the extra amount back to them, since you can use the technology to do that.
If you do the above, you do not lose much, but you stand to gain respect and blessings of Crores of Indians whose money goes to waste.
Request my audience to Repost this widely, tag relevant ministers and let us make this happen.

Strong and contrarian opinions can disrupt a stock operator's mental state. As I said a few days ago, pharma is a well-discovered theme, and there is no point celebrating strong earnings after almost 8–9 years of drought in many instances.
A flood of tweets from last year reveals Bajaj Healthcare's operator. The game is sector-agnostic, stock-agnostic. Create hype and volume. Use that hype and make a fast exit. Find a new story. That's their playbook!
Evidence shared by someone yesterday after my X: https://t.co/jzK8rrK9GE
Many first-time investors get duped on social media. Some lose their entire seed capital and never return to equities.
In my book, at charity events (an example charity session is pinned on my X handle), and in frequent free podcasts with eager learners, I have thoroughly evaluated my own holdings to aid my blind spots and create awareness for everyone. An operator will rent a stock for a few days before switching stocks or sectors. Using social media, they recruit new, vulnerable investors.
Open challenge to these crooks! "read my book or listen to free podcasts on uTube"—I always critique #Biocon, #Laurus, #Syngene, and many more. My book has compiled common mistakes that new investors make (Chapters 8-9); Search those 29 and 30 June 2021 tweets warning the operator game in SeQuent when stock was 300, followed by the 2022–2023 podcasts ... all provide extensive coverage of SeQuent. These operators must have the guts to share the pages and narrative from my book openly. They know that they are unethical and fraudulent. All smoke and mirrors. Pidepipers will continue to discover, pump and dump new stocks and stories. Create fake handles and increase follower base. Old game. Beware!!
New investors must listen to the last 10 minutes (at least that last bit, if not the whole 3–4 hr session), and you'll know who to follow. Paraphrasing what I said live the other day, “My objective is not to help you get rich quick, but to try to help you protect whatever you have and not make a big mistake."

Rant over!
@vir259 Syngene @SyngeneIntl@SeemaAhuja1 should schedule a 90-minute yearly results call in addition to AGM. Every 3 months, there's really nothing to note other than sarcasm.
Goldman, UBS etc may "calculate guidance" and rest on a daily basis, according to their convenience.
If you claim a company to be Satyam and do not short-sell it, you are fake.
This Sintex Pidepiper, said Pharma is only performing due to COVID. Where's COVID? [35:00 onwards]
True stoics never smiled and participated in ridicule. Unethical. Insane.

@Krishan45186025 Expensive and boring books are never best sellers; that would be a disaster. I've put in so much effort to connect with very few readers.
