cameramen, its not necessary to focus the camera on Kohli after every wicket.
The bowler, the fielder who took the catch, the remaining 8 players and the crowds are important too.. Do consider this request from an ardent ‘Team India’ fan
WFH is tremendously productive. My experience on commute time alone, on my first day at office after nearly 17 months was so bad, that I am a part-time or full-time WFH votary for life.
This is one of greatest videos of all time. Just watch till the end!
And then watch it again, and again, and again, like I did. Masterful.

A friend in US purchased an Indian flag online, for the
#HarGharTiranga
campaign, and it came with 'Made in China' tag.
Everyone who participates in this gesture this year (I will), try and ensure you buy a 'Made in India' tricolour :)
Google ‘Made in India’ headphones.
Result - boAt, etc etc
Navigate to Manufacturers info or Country of Origin
Result - China (Almost invariably)
Any options for a made in India headphone? (So boAt may be an Indian brand but its headphones are made in China)
Car ownership consistently becoming expensive -
Higher taxes
Higher insurance
Fuel cost doesnt come down
Interest rates dont come down
Drivers are expensive
Parking charges are prohibitive
And today - new registration charges zoom up
How many people want to know the options that an average investor has of investing abroad? Because your children might study abroad, or you want to have alternate assets, etc etc. Through funds, directly, etc etc. Would a show on this help?
#China
is at the centre of newsflow today...
-Germany sends damages bill to China
-China flexing muscles in Hong Kong again
-Scores of people saying they wont touch a chinese product again, even if it means buying something more expensive
For me,
#TheWall
will always be the only wall. Fiercely skilled bowlers to face, not always a settled team, at times a wicketkeeper and he pulled off every single task with aplomb.

We deserve a lockdown - because Covidiots cant let go of one year's holi celebrations.. Its exasperating to know that I am not the only one who is seeing such people playing holi with scant regard for what is happening around us

I powered a 9 year old Sony Viao laptop after a period of 4-5 years and it started working as if it was never unused. The tagline screamed at me

My NGO Anjeze has started receiving multiple help calls from hospitals for Covid kits. Not wanting to be an alarmist, but this is a similar trend we observed ahead of Wave 2.. 🤞🤞it doesnt balloon into a large wave..

neat thought -
Investing in good companies is easy for me, because I am not a fund manager and not managing others money. Once I am invested in whatever stocks I am invested in, I have to learn to do nothing. For my core portfolio, 5 or 10 companies are enough -

Timing is everything
China said it will slap new tariffs on U.S. goods, and back home, we have a Fin Min finally looking like responding and listening to the markets.. Monday will be an interesting morning
This is, in my opinion, the most regressive headline I have read in a while. I never comment on the quality of another house’s media article, but will make an exception this time. (Purely personal feeling, in no way in my capacity as a BQ employee)
In the 86 years since India attained Test status, 290 different men have played test cricket for India. However, only four belong to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribe.
Instead of about 70, as it should have been per the population proportion.

This image of a migrant worker who lost his son in Bihar should haunt us for the times ahead. As a nation, we have failed them. You included. Me included. (photo from an Indian Express story)
I cant get over Team India’s gesture. It was a bitter series, with Paine & Co never shying away from sledging, but we won, and we extended a warm gesture to the opposition by giving a memento to Lyon. One more thing the Aussie team needs to learn from Team India..
Tata Motors is a prime example of why one shouldnt buy a stock because its fallen over 50% from all time highs, or because its trading at cheap PE multiples.
Please study the business and the headwinds/tailwinds - and not the price alone
