When the BJP took over in Karnataka in 2019, after 6 years of CONgress rule, there were major floods & a huge deficit
From that situation, despite COVID, they brought us back to a surplus
& we voted them out
Now, 3 years later, we have CONgis, & a huge deficit again!
🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana was very docile. It conveniently didn’t show this.
This is nothing compared to Śatrughna.
Śatrughna actually grabs Mantharā and drags Mantharā across the floor (even in the Critical Edition).
Bharata has to intervene and remind him that an unarmed woman must not be killed in spite of her crime and threatens Śatrughna that if Rāma ever hears that Mantharā has been killed then he will never speak to them again.
Demand for memory chips are on steroids. Even at its peak, the mighty irreplaceable Intel could do 80 Billion USD revenue in a year - these guys are doing it in a quarter.
Unreal times
Samsung just made $80 billion dollars in profits in one quarter. $80 Billion with a B! To put that in perspective, Tesla has made about $40 billion dollars in combined profits for its history. Not for a year, in its combined history. Samsung just made double that amount in one quarter. But I know, it doesn’t matter, memory is cyclical! Cyclical money doesn’t count! lol. Absolute clowns out there. MSFT just announced that they spent $5 billion less on cap ex this quarter than they were supposed to because they couldn’t get their hands on enough compute. They delayed it a few quarters. They increased cap ex for the next quarter! But the market thinks cap ex is drying up! You can’t make this shit up. So many people want this Ai revolution to be over. So many don’t want to believe it can keep going. They are so stubborn and so stupid it makes me laugh! More fake news!

In 2009, two economists took an iPhone 3G apart. China’s share of the phone - $6.50, or 3.6%. China was a screwdriver shop, and if Bloomberg Opinion had existed in this form back then, it would have told Beijing to give up on electronics and stick to shoes. China didn’t listen. Today Chinese phones carry 38-40% local value. India is at 18-20%, which is already far ahead of where China started.
Comparing India’s component imports with its phone exports and calling the gap a deficit is plain wrong. Indians buy phones either way. Without local assembly, every one of those phones arrives fully built and the import bill gets bigger. About $18.6B of India-made iPhones were sold in India between FY22 and FY26, and the $2.1B trade gain from mounting chips on boards locally shows the same thing.
Assembly always comes first. No display or battery maker builds a plant in a country where nobody assembles phones. That’s how China used Tesla and Apple as “catfish” to pull its suppliers up to world standards.
The subsidies to build local electronics manufacturing are often called too expensive . But Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China all paid to build their industries, and TSMC was nearly half government money.
Under India’s component scheme (ECMS), 106 projects are approved, worth ₹69,500 cr. Display, camera module and battery cell, three of the five big imported parts in a phone, now have approved Indian plants.
Taking an Indian iPhone apart in 2030 and seeing how much of it is still imported will be the time for a verdict swarajyamag.com/commentary/a…
Forget everything else - does this bozo not have the courtesy to address her colleague by her correct surname?
Dear Mrs. Sitarama,
1.Which "legal and commercial matter" required Tata Trusts and Tata Sons to be hosted at Amit Shah's residence?
2.When is crony number 1 going to appear in the game and which pieces of Tata is he going to get?
Finally, all India's businesses except 3-4 of your cronies, already hate all of you and don't need any incitement.
There is no Sita Swayamvar in Valmiki Ramayan 😏
Only later versions like Ramcharitmanas added it.
As I said earlier, we are not equipped as a society to handle real Valmiki Ramayan
PS: nothing to do with Movie which I suspect will add stuff like Swayamvar and Lakshman Rekha
TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN.
The swayamvar of Sita has been indefinitely postponed due to inadequate applications.
The change is regretted.

BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg.
Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible.
This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.
In Ramcharitmanas too, Tulasidas ji uses “rang” . Maybe he too was not Hindu enough as per the holier-than-thou brigade here. 😏🙄
Idiot. Rang is not Farsi. It is Sanskrit origin. Lord Vishnu is Rang-Nath-swami himself. In Trichy, Sri-Rangam is one of the most sacred temple town of Vishnu ji
Farsi too uses Rang for colour. That just shows the two languages have pre- Vedic connection. That’s all.
Let us not become a mirror image of the people we dislike.
Not a fan of Ranbir. But I would judge something based on after I have seen the final product. Not based on snippets and rumours.
Music. I liked - Mangal Rang. Arijit / Shreya are amazing as usual. And no not a qawwali
I don’t like Sai Pallavi’s political views. Detest them. And I was very skeptical about her acting, but so far she has managed to put that innocence in her emotions in the Mangal rang especially. So I am more convinced than earlier - but again too soon to tell.
