My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
75-yr old senior talks about AI, space technology, Digital India and Yuvaneta talks about caste and Manusmriti. If you fail to see the difference, you have failed as a taxpaying citizen of India.
In investing, doing nothing is also a decision. And often, it is the hardest one.
Markets constantly tempt us to act.
A stock falls — should I sell? It rises sharply — should I chase it? Someone else is making money — what am I missing? FOMO feeling The news changes — should I change my portfolio?
But activity and progress are not the same thing.
Over time, I’ve realised that some of the best investment decisions were not brilliant buys or perfectly timed exits.
They were simply periods when we had done the work, understood what we owned, and had the patience not to interfere with compounding.
Of course, doing nothing should never mean ignoring facts. When the business changes, management integrity/governance is questioned, capital allocation deteriorates, or the original thesis breaks — act decisively.
But when only the price changes while the thesis remains intact — patience can be a competitive advantage.
Investing is a strange profession. We are paid to make decisions, yet sometimes the best decision is no decision at all.
This is why the process matters so much. Research gives you conviction. Risk management keeps you alive. And patience allows compounding to do its work.

In football, can you imagine India beating Brazil in the final by 2-1 and win the Gothia cup in Sweden 😳 and that too after defeating England 12-0 and France by 17-1 🤔 ?
Proud that most players were from Manipur.
Yes! This actually happened 👆🇮🇳🏆
That's India's U-15 team from Minerva Academy / Ranjit Bajaj's squad making history at the Gothia Cup 2026 in Sweden - the world's biggest youth football tournament.
What they pulled off:
1. Beat England 12-0
2. Beat France 17-1
3. Won Helsing Cup in Europe a week earlier
4. Final: Beat Brazil 2-1 to win the Gothia Cup.
They won 8 matches straight and scored 86 goals in the whole tournament. "European Double" complete - Helsing Cup + Gothia Cup back to back 😳
The clips show:
- Kids in orange India jerseys celebrating goals
- The goalkeeper screaming "BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS"
- Fans waving tricolor in the stands
- Team lifting the Gothia Cup trophy with "GOTHIA CUP FINALS" board behind
- Ranjit Bajaj with tricolor draped, holding medal
This is huge because in a country where cricket gets all the money and football still struggles for support, these kids proved talent isn't the problem - opportunity is.
Absolutely viral-worthy moment for Indian football ✌️
