@airindia@rakesh1908 Love how “dynamic pricing” means paying ₹80K more for literally the same Lufthansa flight when booking through Air India. What’s included—emotional damage?
@HiHyderabad@NjsTej If a city’s identity is reduced to IT offices, that’s not a strength—it’s a risk. The world’s leading cities thrive because of multiple sectors and inclusive growth. Hyderabad deserves to be seen as more than just an IT back office.
@HMRLHydmetro Draw a 40 km line with a sketch pen, call it “Future City” and send bill to Centre.
Feasibility study? Ridership data? Urban planning?. Does the policy makers have any fricking clue about mass transit system? Who on earth builds metro to places where traffic doesn’t exist yet.
Reliance Industries Ltd. paused its plan to make lithium-ion battery cells in India. Why?
- Because a Small Chinese firm called Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co. refused to license its technology to Reliance.
- Technology licensing means: giving another party permission to use a technology or related intellectual property under a legal contract, in return for agreed compensation such as royalties or fees.
- The Chinese firm is 1/100th the size of Reliance. And, was started in 2019. It was able to build a piece of technology that one of India's biggest company desperately needs.
- Post the breakdown of these talks: Reliance would go back to "assembling" (not making) Lithium-ion batteries.
- The partnership (allegedly) fell because China wants to preserve its competitive advantage in EV and energy‑storage technologies.
- Role of lithium-ion in AI revolution is critical. Many data centers would operate in off-grid location. And, efficient batteries are a key to solving it.
- Even in location where data centers are built. And, operational:the High‑density AI clusters (e.g., racks full of H100‑class GPUs drawing hundreds of watts per GPU) create large, spiky power demand that stresses grids and legacy UPS systems.
- Lithium‑ion UPS and battery‑energy‑storage systems (BESS) provide fast‑response backup. And, ride‑through during grid disturbances so that AI training workloads are not corrupted by even millisecond‑scale outages.
- Energy is a major bottleneck. And, BESS and Lithium-ion are a critical piece of this ecosystem.

We spent the last 10 years building statues. With all the revenue collections. And, the massive GDP increase, maybe some money should have gone to BESS and Lithium-ion R&D spent.
Children are abroad. Parents are in India.
Parents in their late 50s and 60s are enthusiastic to visit kids abroad. They do trips once a year or perhaps once in two years.
Everyone is happy - both parents and kids.
Enter parents into their early 70s, they don't have that much patience to travel for so long. Also, now grandkids are older and busy with their studies. Their son/daughter and their spouses are busy with jobs. They feel lonely abroad. But they still make trips, a bit grudgingly now......
Enter parents into their late 70s, they refuse to leave India. By then they have some health issues and they don't want to burden their children by becoming unwell abroad. Add to this health costs above. Travel becomes like a big task. They are happy to be in India and ask kids to visit them.
Some kids visit, some don't. Perhaps visa issues, perhaps job issues, perhaps other problems....
Kids' life abroad continues as usual.
Parents in India quite lonely.
This is the common scenario nowadays in Telugu speaking states.

@DataFunda@Akshat_World True diversification is key. That’s why it’d be interesting to see how the right place, right time’ strategy performed in Indian stocks too.
@DataFunda@Akshat_World Thank you for your reply Mr. Warren buffet 2.0. I get your point. The reason I asked to share his Indian portfolio is to check how he performed with his Indian portfolio because he keeps mocking Indian DII’s for underperforming. Let us compare apples to apples.
