The month of November 1971, 52 years ago, Very important events were happening in our country. The year was 1971 and the month November. “If India pokes its nose in Pakistan, US will not keep its trap shut. India will be taught a lesson.” - Richard Nixon “India regards America as a friend. Not a boss. India is capable of writing its own destiny. We know and are aware how to deal with each one according to circumstances.” - Indira Gandhi Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi articulated these exact words sitting with the US President Richard Nixon in the White House, while maintaining an eye-to-eye contact. This incident was narrated by the then Secretary of State and NSA, Henry Kissinger, in his autobiography.

When Adani’s coal left Indonesia its value was $ 1.9 mn. When it reached Mundra, Gujarat it’s value was $ 4.3 mn. Wish us mere mortals knew this secret magic of doubling your money in the middle of Indian Ocean too. 😔

Heartbreaking that the family of a brave soldier who has been defending our nation and people for years is not safe in their home because goons and criminals came, stripped and beat up his wife. She is traumatized and in hospital He says his petition to the police hasn't yet been acted on. Shame on all that a soldier has to kneel down asking for help to safeguard his family in their own home! Please help @CMOTamilnadu @SWComd_IA @rajnathsingh

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

You knew what Mondelez-Cadbury's did to The FoodPharmer when he called out the low quality in their Bounrvita product. Now please listen to this very serious issue that has been happening on the side lines with respect to another company and their products. BIG MUSCLES protein powder. The YouTube influencer and Bodybuilding specialist Satvik Pandey (@satvik_pandey_ ) had analyzed Big Muscles protein and found that they were scamming the consumers. The label said one thing, but the analysis revealed something completely different. youtube.com/watch?v=VpnBJgBx… He found that Big Muscles was 'amino spiking' their products - meaning, using low quality amino acids to bump up overall protein content, which artificially inflates protein quantity falsely making consumers believe that they are getting high-quality supplement. In reality, they are getting very less protein content, with additives that cost you a lot more. Not just Satvik, but other fitness influencers also found the same thing with Big Muscles. Trustified (on the All About Nutrition Channel) also found the same plus additionally, heavy metals and low protein than labelled in Big Muscles. youtube.com/watch?v=WoAtSO36… But the story starts here. Big Muscles have now started to harass the well-meaning and important for public health, Satvik Pandey with a series of serious troubling steps. They did not go legal. They did not file a court case. Instead, they sent the Delhi Police to hound him. The very concerning issues that happened with Satvik was made public recently on his YT channel - youtube.com/watch?v=z5F86S_Z… Its crazy what he went through. Big Muscles sent cops to him telling him that during a meeting, they will PAY HIM to take the videos off. When he was clear that was not happening, then the senior cops in Delhi Police started harassing him with multiple calls and station visits. At one point, one cop tells Satvik's lawyer - "we know the work you did was truthful, but truth comes with a price." - and bargained for a bribe to let it slide. Satvik did not yield. So, the senior Police Officer was called in the next time. Satvik showed him all the documents of analysis from approved/authorized labs - the police did not bother. He said, "show any number of documents, none of that will matter, until you yield." - because he was clearly paid by the Company to shut Satvik up. The Delhi Police then gave out Satvik's home address - they doxxed him. [Doxxing: search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the internet, typically with malicious intent.] Satvik very clearly mentions that if anything bad happens to him/his family, then the CEO, the Marketing Head (the person who harassed Satvik the most) and CEO's father were to blame. BUT THE REAL REASON WHY I AM WRITING THIS TWEET IS BECAUSE - Satvik's findings are CORRECT. Because in our well planned and designed Protein Project (see here nitter.gq/theliverdr/statu…), we found EXACTLY what Satvik describes with Big Muscles. It WAS THE WORST protein in our study. Big muscles Frotein Whey, with an advertised 76.5%, but detected a protein of 26.1%; Big Muscles Vegan Protein, with an advertised 81.3% and detected 19.4% protein. nitter.gq/theliverdr/statu… Big Muscles was also the worst when it came to 'MISLABELLING' their product. See here nitter.gq/theliverdr/statu… Big Muscles was also one among the few which contained pesticide residue and also traces of Cadmium and Lead nitter.gq/theliverdr/statu… & nitter.gq/theliverdr/statu… I am a clinical-scientist and I have the largest peer-reviewed published evidence of analytical work on herbal and dietary supplements in the world at present. I support Satvik's findings and I would like every one of you to please look out for him and get him the support he needs. Please retweet so that this reaches many, and as Satvik mentions in his video, let more people test (costs <1000 INR) and bring evidence that will help him come out winning. Big Muscles maybe big on muscle tactics, but brains beat brawn any day.

20/30 Results - III (cont) ..Ultra-soy protein by Forever Life. Complete results of heavy metal detection is below. I would be cautious about any amount of Lead in products as there is no safe level of Lead. Even high levels of Copper isnt ideal as it is toxic to brain/liver.

If you know sugar is the new alcohol, and protein is the building block of muscle and immunity, then you'll know how you have been taken for a ride, at least now: Bournvita 100g contain 37g of sugar (sucrose) 100g contain 7g of protein Boost 100g contain 35g sugar of which 9.5g is added sugar 100g contains 7.5g protein Ovaltine 100g contain 40.4g sugar 100g contain 11.5g protein Horlicks 100g contain 79g carbs of which 13.5g is table sugar 100g contain 11g protein Complan 100g contain 62g carbs of which sugar is 21.8g 100g contain 18g protein Ensure Protein 57g contain 13g sugar 57g contain 9g protein Pediasure 100g contain 67.7 carbs of which sugar is 17.1g 100g contain 14g of protein All of the above, advertised as muscle growth, increased height, immunity building and better overall health In comparison🔽 100ml of Coca cola contains 10.6g sugar 100ml of Fanta contains 10.9g sugar 100ml Ginger Beer contains 10.8g sugar 100g of Five Star chocolate 48g sugar 100g McDonald's Cheeseburger 6g of sugar 100g KFC Chicken 0g sugar Sucrose and fructose are the worst causes for non-alcoholic fatty liver and fatty liver disease in children.

- ‘PM expressed his displeasure of not sighting the big cats’ - ‘Pressure on forest officials from senior #BJP leaders to take action against driver madhusudhan, as #Modi did not see any wild cat during his maiden safari’ They who do not understand the basics of safari, are now blaming poor driver & even wants an action against him 🙏

Hey @Bank_on_Fi Can you guys put a check on your notifications?!! It's a banking app dammit! That's the only reason why I can't turn them off. To be really useful, give us a way to use multiple money-plants at once.

Other banks: Hello sir, do you want a free credit card? @TheOfficialSBI Guy: Hello, can you come to the bank branch with your PAN Card?
That's @TheOfficialSBI's digital way of saying "please visit counter number 4." I've changed my password twice already.

Dear @Cashify_ I gave you my phone number so that I could get the login OTP. Not for disturbing me with incessant crappy follow-ups and sales messages. Please stop this immediately and use my data responsibly and ethically.

Amazing how @Uber_India 's customer support UI lets you ask all the questions but the one you really need to ask. And it won't let you speak to a real customer care executive. I want: My app shows pending payment but I paid, why? Uber: Do you want to pay a cleaning fee?

@HUL_News @HULPureit @Unilever what kind of thievery is this? First you sell me a defective product. Then, you force me to pay for servicing that faulty product. It gets even worse. That servicing is useless. The product still doesn't work. I'm talking about the germ-kill kit.>>

All of that marketing and customer centricity blah blah.. falls flat when it comes to the experience... I'm recalling all of those 'good guy' ads...
