I work in crisis, temples and whisky. All three teach the same thing…what survives, what doesn’t.

We remember feelings better than facts.

Funny how a completely ordinary evening can stay with you for years, while something you thought was hugely important barely makes it into memory.

Maybe that’s why we remember the laughs, people, crazy nights and small moments far more than the big achievements.

The details fade. The feeling doesn’t.

@geetu11 @vijeshetty Way too generic a post…..please read @scotthakuraaiin’s reply.

[Aakanksha Sadekar Chauhan @scotthakuraaiin]

The Old Monk issue is real, but this is where nuance matters.

FSSAI’s own standards permit neutral spirit in certain rum and whiskey categories.

The controversy is about formulation, flavouring, ageing claims and labelling, not a magical rule that “neutral spirit = not whiskey/rum”.

And “most Indian spirits aren’t real whiskey” is far too sweeping when India also produces internationally recognised single malts made from malted barley, distilled and matured as whiskey.

Read the regulations, not just the outrage headline.

You don’t have to know everything about everything!

[Rakesh Sheth @therakeshsheth]

Time doesn’t bring clarity.
Commitment does. Indecision is fear dressed up as responsibility. You already know what must be done. You’re just avoiding the fallout. Choose. Absorb the consequences.

That’s adulthood.

Congratulations @ruchitgarg ….. May you keep growing 😊👏

🎉Announcing the HFN Farmer Store Franchise Program🎉

For years, HFN has been working with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and farmer cooperatives across India — helping them move from seed to market. A key part of this journey has been helping farmer groups capture more value from what they grow.

Millets become millet flakes..
Mangoes become pickles..
Figs become fig jam..
Lemons become lemonade..
And farm produce becomes branded, value-added products with greater earning potential for farmer communities.

Today, HFN is connected with large number of farmer groups across India. Several have become profitable enterprises, with many now clocking annual revenues of more than ₹5 crore.

Now, we are taking the next step.
We are launching the HFN Farmer Store Franchise Program

HFN Farmer Stores will bring products created by farmer groups closer to consumers — building a stronger farm-to-consumer ecosystem where:

- Farmers can capture a greater share of the value chain
- Local entrepreneurs can build sustainable businesses
- Consumers get access to trusted, thoughtfully sourced products
- Communities participate directly in strengthening India's farmer economy

This is more than opening another retail store. It is an opportunity to become part of a stronger farmer cooperative movement.

If you are interested in opening an HFN Farmer Store in your city, call us: 1800-891-8903

@RamaniSumit I have never been able to book more than a week in advance and even then always refundable bookings.

[Rakesh Sheth @therakeshsheth]

@Shrutiswaroop Yes I am sure. I just carry my cable everywhere…

I’m using the iPhone Air and honestly, for most daily users, I think it’s the sweet spot.

Unless you’re a content creator or live on your camera, I don’t see the need for the extra weight and bulk of the Pro.

Battery is good too. It’s just on those full day trips when you’re out from morning to night that I wish it had a little more.

@Apple are we getting an Air V2? 😄

[Rakesh Sheth @therakeshsheth]

@jopriyu267 Yes, that’s what I thought would be the best case for this device, people who use a phone and an iPad could replace to one device.

[Rakesh Sheth @therakeshsheth]

@geetu11 😂

@viraj_sheth Anyone who carries a phone + tablet is a potential customer….

There is another important layer to Garba. Garbha Sthapana.

We have been doing this at home for generations. We keep two Garbo during Navratri one for our Kula Devi, Narayani and one for our Ishta Devi, Maha Kali.

Navratri begins with the invocation and establishment of Mataji’s presence, and the nine nights are a period of worship and sādhana. That is also why Ashtami and Navami hold such importance as the worship reaches its culmination, with Kanya Puja observed in many traditions.

The fasting too is not simply about food. Upavasa means drawing closer to the Divine. For nine days, we consciously restrain the body and senses and turn our attention towards Mataji.

So while Garba today is celebrated as a beautiful community dance, its roots are much deeper nine nights of Shakti Upasana, beginning with Garbha Sthapana and culminating in Ashtami Homam and Navami Nivedh. 🙏

Looking forward to this one @Teapreneur 😊

@NR_Sanghi Oh yes….and light weight.

[Rakesh Sheth @therakeshsheth]

@LiveFromALounge I think all banks have made this mandatory. Just making it difficult to close accounts.

[Rakesh Sheth @therakeshsheth]

@pankajkanal Yes, very decent. Unless you need good pics for content

[Rakesh Sheth @therakeshsheth]

@Schandillia Agree….for most iPhone users the Air is lovely…..

[Rakesh Sheth @therakeshsheth]

@johnternus iPhone Air 2 - missing….

I used to think spirituality meant learning to let go.

I was wrong.

Sometimes spirituality is having the strength to hold on when everything around you is telling you to quit.

You pray, question, get angry, doubt yourself.

Then you wake up the next morning and do what has to be done.

Faith doesn’t always make the crisis disappear.

Sometimes it just gives you enough courage to stay in the room.
