I wanted to watch #digger. The nearest theatre playing the movie is 125 km. The reactions are mixed. But still there is an excitimet to watch it in theatre. My streak of watching a Tom Cruise film in theatre will end. Starting mi3 I have watched most of his films in theatre.

I started learning farming. Producing organic things are challenge. The awareness that organic foods are good for health is also in villages. But in my village, no one does organic farming. It is a challenge to become profitable while producing organic food.
So here is the business idea i was talking about:: If you want to start a business but don’t have any “unique” or never-tried-before idea, start with import substitution. If you’re already a multi-millionaire or billionaire, look at what your country imports that can be produced domestically — build that. BUT If you’re just a lakhpati who can invest only a few lakhs, look at your Gram Panchayat. Identify what your villages import that can be produced or grown locally. Example: Vegetables. Most villages consume chemically grown vegetables brought from outside, even though they have fertile land. Villagers may look poor individually, but when you calculate total household spending of the villages, the numbers are huge. In my Gram Panchayat: • 5 villages • 2,000 households • ₹1,500/month per household on vegetables = ₹18,000 per year per household₹18,000 × 2,000 households = ₹3.6 crore per year. Now that’s money flowing out of the village. Business model: • Take land on rent (if you don’t own any) • Offer farmers 50% higher annual rent • Buy cow/buffalo dung locally at ₹0.50–₹1 per kg • Produce your own organic manure • Do organic farming • Sell directly to villagersAdvantages: • No mandi procurement • No middlemen • Lower transportation cost • Fresher produce • Healthier foodEven if you: • Hire labour for every task • Pay 20% higher wages than market. You will still be able to earn enough to replace your job or leave corporate life and live well in the village. With this: • Village becomes largely food self-sufficient • Farmers & labourers earn more • Health improves • Local economy strengthens and you gain a good reputation which you can leverage later. If you generate surplus: • Process it • Sell in nearby urban markets. If you play this game long term and wisely then you can even become a millionaire in less than a decade. You don’t need a revolutionary idea. Sometimes the biggest opportunity is simply stopping money from leaving your local economy.

Because of climate change, there are more insects on crops. So, it becomes essential to sprinkle pesticide on crops. For example, 25 years back I didn't see Litchi Tree being washed by pesticides. But now it is common. If you don't wash, there won't be any fruit.

Last year, I learned to drive. Driving my car to 10000 km has been finest experience. The car is for the family. But somewhere along the way, it added a little more joy to my life. I wish you all the best in the quiet efforts you’re making to bring happiness into your life.

What about the driving dynamics of the car? Will it be the same as new when it gets older? Modern cars, if maintained well, are built to last longer. But when it gets older, the steering feedback and suspension won't be the same.
Mind blowing hack. Worth buying the course for more such financial engineering🤯

Despite being slow, He scored 10000 runs in Test and ODI. In ODI, He is the second fastest to score 10000 runs in terms of time span. Behind Virat Kohli.
Who is the Slowest ?

Do you read about android updates when your mobile goes through it? Today my mobile asked to update on Android 16. I did and then read all the new things I shall be getting. From the current updates, I liked this screenshot. I can do by placing my three fingers on the screen.

I really want to watch "One Battle After Another" in theatre. But the nearest theater running this film is 125 km away from where I live. There should be at least one show over the weekend in a small town as well. @bookmyshow

In Bihar, land survey is going on. In the next two years all the workers associated with this work will become millionaires or billionaires. It totally depends on their designation whether they are Kanungo, Amin it or any other associated with the Government.

Finally I watched it. I loved this dialogue from the film - Make sure you do something that brings you peace, cause everything else is a pain in the a**.

As fond of action movies, I am willing to pay this amount. But my stand is clear. Old films would be free to cost. However, there shouldn't be a rent concept for newer movies. Charge on a subscription basis.

Stop snacking. Avoid all your favourite foods.
If a friend came to you and wanted to lose 20 lbs, what would you say to them?

When I first watched Mission Impossible 3 in Delhi in 2006. I didn't know there would be 5 more films and I will be watching the last one in my home town. #MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning

If you are looking for a chase sequence then you will be disappointed. But if you want a culmination of franchise where all dots are connected then #MissionImpossible is good. However, as a fan you expect an action block which is missing in the movie. The story builds up slowly

I am in my 8th year of marriage and my parents are not alive. If I had to give it I would tell my wife. Even if she doesn't agree I would give it anyway. The reason I will tell is that life is long and at some point she would've got to know. There could have been confusion.
Is it okay for a married man to give some money to his mother without checking with his wife first? #Life

Post corona, I decided to live in my village house. My income has been reduced by 70%. Changed my perspective towards life. There has been a lot of struggle. Despite that I made up my to live in the house that my grandfather built. Changed the definition of success.
Family institution in Bihar is being damaged every passing day. Parents living in Bihar, old age is catching them, but one child living in Gurgaon and the other in Banglore to earn their living. Without basic income, marriage is near impossible.

Appeared in an interview after a long 9 years with an AI. I lost my job last July. I was exploring freelancing, and there is a challenge there as well. Now, I will appear in more interviews to see whether my knowledge matches the trend.

Was watching reels on Instagram and came across a sentence. Romantic love is a product of capitalism. 🙂 Like all the flowers, chocolate and movies.

In my village you won't find male. All are outside to earn money and repay the EMI. Earlier money lenders used to help. Now these companies have taken place. However, there are certain people who benefited also particularly small businessman. Money management is skill set.

I have been working on calming my mind. Particularly not thinking about things that is not happening currently. Man this is a task. Not easy to control my mind. Writing has helped me to some extent.
