I don't know who else to tell this to, so I am going to tell my story here.

Every day is a struggle for a young business, but the last few months have been harder than usual.

We are a small Indian company. For more than ten years we have been building a homegrown brand in a product category dominated by big foreign players.

There are almost no Indian names in this space. We set out to be one.

We started in 2014. Over the years we began making parts in India instead of just importing, and we started selling in the US, Dubai, Nepal, Malaysia and South Africa.

We showed up at global trade fairs to represent an Indian brand on the world stage.

In 2023 we changed the import code we use for our product. We did not do this quietly. Every shipment was declared. Nothing was hidden. We didn't invent our approach.

We followed written professional advice and the way this product is treated in markets around the world.

And now we are facing a government demand running into tens of crores in duty recovery and penalties, plus personal penalties on the founders and even on an employee.

For a company our size, this is not a fine we can pay and move on from. This ends us.

We have not run from any of this. I am not built like that. It is not how I was raised. We have written to the authorities, met officials in person, and we have now filed a writ in the High Court.

All we are asking for is a fair treatment.

I set out to build in India and sell to the world. I am asking only that the system back honest founders trying to compete globally, instead of breaking them.

The process is the process, and it exists for a reason. But process should not feel like punishment.

From where I am standing today, it does.
I am not giving up. I have worked too hard for this. If you have read this far, please share it. If you know someone who can help, point them my way. Help me get the word out.

Never ever experienced this kind of behaviour from *BBMP Birth and Death Certificate* registrar officials at Jayanagar 4th Block Office yesterday.

People are so greedy that they are asking for a bribe to ISSUE DEATH CERTIFICATE 😭

China’s started using anti fatigue laser lights on some highways to keep drivers alert at night.

The idea is to stop drivers getting drowsy on long, boring night drives.

I’m getting married at seventy-two, and my daughter told me I was wasting money on a wedding dress.
We were standing in the kitchen, her arms crossed, when she said that at my age no one expects anything elegant, and asked why I couldn’t just wear something I already had in my closet—especially since this would be my third marriage.
What she didn’t know was this: at my first wedding I was nineteen and pregnant; I wore my mother’s dress, which smelled like a closed wardrobe. At the second, I was forty-one and completely broken-hearted; I got married at city hall in a beige suit, because I had stopped believing in love.
But this time I want lace. I want crystals. I want to feel hopeful again. I want to believe that hope isn’t a privilege reserved only for women in their twenties who haven��t yet learned what it means to fall.
I found a secondhand white dress for one hundred euros, and when I tried it on, I didn’t see tired skin or the weight I can no longer lose. I saw a woman who survived two divorces, raised three children on her own, and still believes that love can work. I embellished it by hand with small sky-blue crystals and appliqués I sewed myself, sitting at the table with my glasses slipping down my nose, proving to myself that I’m still worth this kind of care.
Now I was looking for an idea for my hair. I didn’t want a veil—not at my age—and every image I found showed girls who could have been my granddaughters. So I asked other women like me for advice, and I was flooded with responses from women in their sixties and seventies, telling me about fresh flowers, vintage clips, and faces no longer trying to look young, just real.
I ordered small pearl hairpins and tried them with a soft, loose updo. Yesterday my daughter saw me and started to cry. She said I looked beautiful. And she apologized—for making me feel like I didn’t deserve this anymore.
I told her that everyone deserves to feel beautiful at least once in their life. Even—and especially—those of us with gray hair, who have already made our mistakes.

Do you know why Mark Zuckerberg renamed Facebook to Meta?

To lure Sundar Pichai to join as CEO. It did not work though.

Pichai did his undergraduate in Metallurgy, which is called Meta in IIT Kharagpur. His love for metals comes from his childhood in Chromepet, a Chennai neighborhood where the Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) is located. This is why Google's browser is called Chrome.

Pichai is an ex-McKinsey consultant with great experience in Power Point presentations. Now, he is leading an AI-based approach to Google Slides and it is called https://t.co/gIEjyYLYsS in his honor.

This is the disruptive power of cracking IITJEE. Even if you dona non-circuit branch from a communist-ruled state (Pichai studied in communist Bengal), the paragons of capitalism will engage in bidding wars for you.

At a pop-up exhibition, a young lady was selling organic namkeens. I tasted them and asked the price. It worked out to around Rs 2500 per kg.

I smiled curiously and asked, “Beta, why is it priced so high? Even the costliest ingredient costs less than that per kg.”

She smiled back and said, “Ma’am, people pay, so we charge.”

She offered it to me at a nominal margin, but I politely declined and moved on with a lesson.

Prices today are decided by what people are willing to pay.

Candle wax is flammable as a vapor, so a candle can be relit by igniting the smoke trail of a recently blown out candle, which contains wax vapor.

HOW TO ACCESS THE DARK-WEB- a full breakdown.

Understand the risks first. It’s not a game. You can encounter illegal material, malware, scams, and surveillance. In some countries, even accessing it can land you in legal trouble.

Step 1: Download Tor Browser. Only from https://t.co/Ny5auINkuw – the official site. This is a modified Firefox that routes your connection through multiple encrypted nodes to hide your location.

Step 2: Consider a VPN. This is debated. Some use a trusted VPN before opening Tor for an extra layer, but it’s not mandatory. Research "Tor over VPN" to decide.

Step 3: Launch Tor and connect. It might take a moment. Once connected, go to settings and raise the security level to "Safest" to disable scripts and add protection.

Step 4: Find .onion sites. These are dark web addresses. Start with directories like DuckDuckGo’s .onion site, Tor Taxi, or Daunt Link. Do not trust random "hidden wiki" clones – many lead to scams.

Step 5: Protect yourself absolutely. Do not use any personal info. Do not reuse passwords. Never download files. Do not enable plugins or JavaScript. Assume every site is hostile.

Step 6: Know the alternatives. Networks like I2P or Freenet exist but are less common. Tor is the standard.

Final and most important step: Think about why you’re doing this. If it’s for privacy from censorship or to communicate securely, Tor is a legitimate tool. If it’s out of casual curiosity, know that the reality is mostly mundane, risky, or illegal. Accessing illicit content is a crime. Your safety and legality should always come first.

This is educational. Proceed with extreme caution, or better yet, don’t proceed at all.
