Not @hdfcsec telling me I'm missing opportunities only to be forced by @SEBI_Awareness to actually tell me I'm missing the chances to make losses like 90% of the traders
When will platforms stop promoting derivatives to retail investors like its some 'missed opportunities'
@VazeKshitij I am trying to gain weight and banana peanut butter shake works wonders for me -
1 small banana + 250 mL milk + 1 healthy hearty spoon peanut butter + 10g oats = no hunger from 7 am to 12:30 pm
@cneuralnetwork Very interesting, I tried building (read vibecoding) something similar few months ago but used bank statements and built a web app. Though not being from CS background struggled to give it a shareable experience. Let me know if you wanna bounce off few ideas or help a bro out 😅
@kaashvisaxena I signed up today and they connected to my whatsapp & took my email but put me in waitlist. Their 'simple' sign up process doesn't tell user that there is a waitlist before you get to use it. Company's should stop such practices or they're ngmi otherwise
The night Gukesh won the World Championship in 2024, I was interviewing Vishy Anand.
That very same day, he told me that it had happened to him, and it would happen to Gukesh as well... it simply comes with the World title. People will try to demean it... people will try to discredit it.
He qualified for the Candidates legitimately, became the youngest Candidates winner ever, and stood as the youngest World Championship challenger. He beat Ding Liren fair and square to become the youngest player in history to claim the world title. None of this was handed to him on a silver platter.
All Gukesh needs to do is not give a damn about anyone or anything, and he is doing so wonderfully, simply by doing what he is supposed to do: play
Why have a world championship. Just get a bunch of europeans to decide who plays like a world champion and crown him for two years. Gukesh has maintained remarkable poise, decency and integrity in the face of extreme provocation by jealous old europeans.
I ran an experiment with Claude as discussed in one of @monikahalan ‘s podcast: backtested every SIP theory I came across on 18 years of real Nifty 50 data (2007–2026). Highly recommend trying this yourself.
1) invest ₹50k every 6 months at the market’s 52-week HIGH , literally the worst day possible, every time, since 2015. Result: ~9% XIRR. SBI FD same period: 6.7%. Even maximally unlucky equity beat the FD. (And post-tax, it’s not even close)
2) Perfect timing (buying the exact monthly LOW for 132 straight months) vs worst timing (exact HIGH): ₹28.6L vs ₹26.7L. Divine foresight is worth ~7% over 11 years. The thing investors obsess over most matters least.
3) What quietly matters more: frequency. Same ₹13.2L at period highs yearly lumpsum ₹24.5L, weekly ₹27.2L. Smaller slices mechanically shrink how badly bad timing can hurt. Daily buying = market average = a plain SIP.
4) Ran all 103 possible 10-year SIP windows in the data. Zero were negative. Median ~12% XIRR. Worst: 4.2% (ended inside the COVID crash). So 10–11% seems like a reasonable figure to expect. Recovery seems to be reliable, never punctual.
5) Then I tried to be clever. Exit at 20% XIRR, re-enter in 2 months. Exit at 15%/3mo. Stop-losses. Hoarding cash for dips. Basically tested 46 configurations. 45 lost to doing nothing. The lone “winner” collapsed when I moved one parameter by a month. Backtests confess anything if tortured.
6) ONE rule beat the plain SIP in all 103 windows out of 103: never sell, never pause just 2–3x your SIP whenever the index is 10%+ below its peak. +0.3–0.5pp XIRR. It’s the only rule that ADDS time in market instead of removing it. It’s also the hardest to obey (March 2020 felt like the end).
7) Everything converged to the most boring instruction in finance: automate the SIP, don’t stop in red years, top up in crashes if you can stomach it. The levers that matter aren’t timing or frequency they’re the amount, and not quitting in year 4 when equity looks pointless. It always looks pointless right before it pays.
We don't just need policy reforms but a cultural reset. Somewhere during our growth, we normalized harassment, corruption, bureaucratic apathy, and inefficiency. We’ve reached a point where people expect the system to fail them and celebrate the rare exceptions when it doesn’t.

Dear @mansukhmandviya ji,
This is my PF. This is my money. I should decide when to use it and how to use it, not some random babu sitting in an EPFO office.
This department has become a harassment hub for the salaried class.
We need transparency, accountability, and efficiency from @officialepfo.
Compliant fuel should be available for all Cars
E10 for E10
E20 for E20
Logistics headache is not our headache. We have paid 40% GST on our car with 15 years registration cost. We need that fuel or ask brands to cover us for all repairs for 15 years.
Farmers & Sugar Mill income shouldn’t cost us repairs.
@dpradhanbjp@RahulGandhi@INCIndia Just resign sir. You have failed your duties and students are getting beaten for protesting against paper leaks? Utterly disgraceful
JAI HIND, JAI BHARAT! 🇮🇳
I Tehseen Poonawalla, on behalf of Team Bharat, am announcing a massive, uncompromising citizen's protest against the hasty implementation of the E20 (Ethanol 20%) Blending Policy.
First of all, my deepest gratitude to every single citizen who supported us during the first phase of this protest. Your trust ensures that I am indebted to you for life. But the battle has just begun!
Here are our 5 Non-Negotiable Demands regarding the E20 Policy:
1️⃣ Protect Older Vehicles: E10 petrol must be provided exclusively for cars manufactured before 2023 that are only E10 compatible.
2️⃣ Fair Pricing: Cut the price of E20 petrol by a straight 20%. Why should consumers pay full price for blended fuel?
3️⃣ Universal Availability of E0: Pure petrol (E0) must be available at every single petrol pump. Currently, it costs a exorbitant ₹165–₹170/litre. This must be slashed and made affordable! Remember, countries like Nepal (₹123/L), Bhutan (₹97/L), and Bangladesh (~₹112/L) buy petrol from India, yet they sell pure, ethanol-free petrol to their citizens far cheaper than we do!
4️⃣ Total Transparency: Publicize every single document, study, and agreement related to the Ethanol 20 blending policy immediately.
5️⃣ Compensation for Damage: Provide concrete solutions and compensation for vehicle owners facing massive engine issues and technical damage due to forced E20 fuel in pre-2023 cars.
This fight will be fought ruthlessly across 3 Pillars: SADAK, SANSAD, aur SUPREME COURT! ✊
BUT LET ME MAKE THE RULES OF THIS PLATFORM ABSOLUTELY CLEAR:
❌ NO Politicians: No political leader from any party will be given a stage or space here.
❌ NO Chichoras, Flop Comedians, or Third grade wanna be actors: No 'panoutis' (jinxes) or opportunists will be allowed to revive their careers on our platform.
❌ NO Anti-Religious Abuse: Anyone who abuses Maryada Purushottam Bhagwan Ram or uses this stage for irrelevant agendas will be thrown out.
❌ NO Communal Hate: This stage will never be used to abuse Muslims or Hindus, nor will we tolerate divisive communal slogans.
🎯 This is a platform for EVERY INDIAN: Whether Brahmin or Dalit, man or woman, or third gender ! If you are a citizen harmed by Ethanol, this is your voice!
NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS & THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
Shri Nitin Gadkari ji is running a "Beta Bachao Yojana"! His family is deeply entrenched in companies like CIAN Agro Industries and MANAS. This is a blatant, textbook case of Conflict of Interest where the Minister formulating the Ethanol policy has family businesses directly benefiting from it! Threaten me all you want, Gadkari ji unlike other political leaders, Tehseen Poonawalla does NOT fear your threats and I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE. I stand firmly by my words!
And as for Dharmendra Pradhan ji he is undisputedly the Worst Education Minister in Indian History. He is a pure 'Nepo Kid' who only holds a cabinet position because his late father was a Union Minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji's cabinet. Look at his brilliant 'ideas' to stop paper leaks: using the Air Force to distribute exam papers and banning Telegram!
Does Dharmendra Pradhan ji not realize that paper leaks easily happen over WhatsApp and Signal too? He has completely ruined the education system and HE MUST GO!
While we demand that Nitin Gadkari, Hardeep Puri, and Dharmendra Pradhan must resign and go, let it be clear: our ultimate focus remains fixed on fixing the disastrous E20 policy.
Join the movement. Our Vehicles. Our Livelihoods. Our Voice.
Jai Hind. Jai Bharat. 🇮🇳

@FactswithDinesh@ShivrattanDhil1@Nidhzee@VishhalSJain@theracemonkey@Shankyram2@nachiket1982
The Ethanol Blending Programme deserves a holistic, evidence-based assessment, not a partisan critique driven by political point-scoring. Public policy of this scale should be judged by measurable outcomes, not ideological biases.
The achievement of 20% ethanol blending (E20) is not merely an energy milestone. It is one of India’s most consequential policy successes, simultaneously advancing farmer incomes, rural development, cooperative institutions, energy security and environmental sustainability.
Few public policies have created such a powerful win-win.
Consider the scale of the impact since the Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2014-15:
• ₹1.66 lakh crore in estimated earnings for farmers.
• ₹1.98 lakh crore saved in foreign exchange by reducing crude oil imports.
• 317 lakh metric tonnes of imported crude substituted.
• 952 lakh metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions reduced.
This is what Atmanirbhar Bharat looks like in action.
For decades, India’s farmers depended on uncertain markets and delayed payments. The ethanol economy has fundamentally changed that equation.
For sugarcane farmers, ethanol has created a second revenue stream for sugar mills. While sugar sales often take months to generate cash, oil marketing companies make ethanol payments within a stipulated 21 days. This improves mill liquidity, enabling faster payment of cane dues.
The results are visible.
In Uttar Pradesh, which produces nearly half of India’s sugarcane, 99.5% of cane dues for the 2024-25 season had already been cleared, a dramatic improvement over the chronic arrears that once plagued the sector.
The story is equally significant in Maharashtra and Karnataka, where cooperative sugar mills form the backbone of the rural economy. Reliable ethanol revenues strengthen the entire ecosystem, farmers, harvest workers, transporters, rural banks, suppliers and local businesses. When cooperative mills remain financially healthy, entire villages prosper.
The benefits extend well beyond sugarcane.
For maize growers, ethanol has created an additional nationwide buyer alongside food, poultry feed, livestock feed and starch industries. More buyers mean stronger demand, improved price discovery and greater bargaining power for farmers.
Even the use of surplus FCI rice has been carefully designed. Food security remains non-negotiable. Public distribution, welfare schemes, buffer stocks and contingency reserves are fully protected. Only surplus stocks, after meeting every food-security obligation, are authorised for ethanol production, turning idle inventory into productive domestic energy.
Critics have also attempted to spread misinformation about E20 damaging vehicles.
The facts tell a very different story.
India has been implementing ethanol blending for over two decades. E20 has been available since 2023, while higher ethanol blends have been used across the country for more than three-and-a-half years.
During FY 2025-26 alone, Maruti Suzuki serviced 2.84 crore vehicles, including 1.5 crore older vehicles, without finding any evidence of E20-linked corrosion, abnormal engine wear or reduced component life. Vehicle warranties continue to be honoured.
The scare campaign simply does not stand up to real-world evidence.
Ultimately, the ethanol programme is about much more than blending fuel.
It connects India’s fuel tank with India’s farms.
Every litre of domestically produced ethanol means lower dependence on imported oil, more income flowing into rural India, stronger cooperatives, greater resilience against global oil shocks and a cleaner environment.
It is rare for a single policy to deliver economic growth, farmer prosperity, energy security, import substitution, climate benefits and rural development simultaneously.
The Ethanol Blending Programme has done exactly that.
This is not just an energy policy.
It is one of the finest examples of how smart public policy can align national interest with the prosperity of India’s farmers.

We are TAXPAYERS, not your damn subjects!
The vehicle is ours, 15 years of advance road tax is paid by us, GST and Cess are paid by us. Brutal Central and State fuel taxes are paid by us....
So who the hell gave the government the right to tamper with our vehicle's parts and also destroy its mileage without our CONSENT!!!
This is an absolute insult to the hard-earned money of honest citizens! Taxation is a contract; we pay the state to power the economy, not to be financially penalized!
Hardeep Puri ji sir and Nitin Gadkari ji sir : Drop this feudal "Monarch vs. Masses" arrogance and stop plundering the common man's pocket & destroying their vehicles!
