Amor Fati

[Illimitable Man (IM) @SovereignIM]

Good women are generally very lowkey and not that socially visible. The reason you think they don't exist is because they are protecting themselves and trying to avoid unwanted attention. The trash is loud and plentiful, but there are more beautiful feminine souls than you think.

Don’t know about Rang De Basanti, but let me tell you what some of us millennials actually grew up watching.

I was in primary school during the 1993 Mumbai bombings -- too young to even understand what terrorism meant. But I distinctly remember my mom repeatedly warning me not to pick up anything lying around while playing outside because, you know, it could be a bomb.

That was childhood.

Then came the seemingly endless procession of attacks: the 1993 Mumbai blasts, Red Fort in 2000, Parliament in 2001, the Mumbai bus bombings and Akshardham in 2002, three separate blasts within eight months in Mumbai in 2003, the 2005 Delhi blasts, the 2007 Hyderabad bombings, and the 2008 Bangalore and Ahmedabad blasts.

In July 2006, I was supposed to be on one of the trains that was bombed near Mahim. I stayed back at the office because of a meeting. A completely mundane change of plans is probably the reason I’m alive to type this instead of being a name on a list of the dead.

I remember that evening far better than I remember any stupid movie. Our office went into lockdown. Phones were jammed. People were crying and frantically trying to reach their families. Nobody knew what was happening, whether there were more bombs, or whether someone they loved was lying dead inside a mangled train compartment.

Two years later came 26/11.

I had the misfortune of watching uncensored footage of the aftermath. One clip showed bodies being piled and stacked inside a makeshift room at CST while someone wheeled in another load on a bloodied wheelbarrow, with blood dripping onto the floor. The sanitised footage shown on television didn't come remotely close to what actually happened inside that station.

So yes, us millennials lived through an era where we went to work knowing that the crime of simply boarding the wrong train, getting on the wrong bus, eating at the wrong restaurant, or standing on the wrong street at the wrong fucking moment could get you blown to pieces or riddled with bullets.

Some of us literally went to work wondering, somewhere at the back of our minds, whether this would be the commute we wouldn't come home from.

So please, spare us millennials this sanctimonious horseshit about Rang De Basanti and what some Bollywood movie supposedly should have taught us about how to vote.

I think this is the equivalent of the economics question "Why can't we print more money?"

[Vijay Shekhar Sharma @vijayshekhar]

Totally academic question:
Why doesn’t Mumbai get 10x of the current capacity of local trains?

Only good solution is to divide britain into 2 countries
One is Christian majority secular britain and second is Islamic Britain for Muslim British people.

I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.

@ActusDei @avinash_a Hindu law does not regard citizenship/ residency and only considers birth. But tax compliance and FEMA rules must be handled carefully. Always involve a CA before making distributions or asset transfers.

@Infosys_GSTN The real joke is the hashtag #Easeofdoingbusiness in this post 🤣

[Income Tax India @IncomeTaxIndia]

Kind Attention Taxpayers!

CBDT has decided to extend the due date of filing of ITRs, which are due for filing by 31st July 2025, to 15th September 2025

This extension will provide more time due to significant revisions in ITR forms, system development needs, and TDS credit reflections. This ensures a smoother and more accurate filing experience for everyone. Formal notification will follow.

@ActusDei @sashindnj I see all composite products (like ULIP offering Insurance + Market returns) - supposed to give best of both worlds - end up doing neither better!

@paracetaaamol I keep travelling to Bengaluru and staying there for work, should I start supporting RCB because of that?

So on point. The most physically tiring days are the best ones mentally because of the satisfaction of getting things done!

I don’t think you can have work life balance unless you actually do good work. If you half ass your work, underlying anxiety and worry will lace your non-work time and you’ll never actually *rest*.
