This has come out so well. The canvas is artistic. Brush strokes are camera exposure. Great effort.

You've heard of Seven Deadly Frames
You've heard of Framelock
Now get ready for
One Frame Man
This is honestly malicious because removing the word "private" is compulsory for converting into a public company and thus being allowed to bring an IPO.
Bira 91 was one of the successful start-up stories of last decade. It is a popular craft beer brand. They were growing so well. Reality is strange than what you can imagine. A procedural goof up has lead to whole company being collapsing and the founder now being forced even to exit by company employees.
As Bira was very successful, it wanted to come up with IPO. So it did a small change. It changed the name from B9 beverages private limited to B9 beverages limited. Just removed the word private.
All the hell then broke loose. All the states immediately banned the sale of Bira 91 treating the new name as different entity. They demanded fresh legal approvals, label approvals, product registrations and fresh licenses for every single variant.
Google and find out. This lead to one problem after another. Once a thriving company looks like may not even survive.
I remember once someone asked Hina Nagarajan, former CEO of Diageo India as to why she is retaining the name United Spirits instead of changing it to Diageo India limited. She said that the company checked with best legal brains in the country and name change would lead to huge disruptions for business.
Though what happened to Bira is extremely unfair, you've to accept the reality of India. Procedures, compliance and proper documentation are extremely important. The rules are so complex you should never desist from taking expert advice. What you assume need not work in reality and may even go against you.

One of the reasons I don't buy into the doompilling regarding marriage is my parents.
Never in my life have I *ever* heard my mom speak ill of my father. To this day, my mom remains my dad's biggest fan. She would tell everyone she meets still that my dad was the greatest man she has ever known.
Similarly, my dad, too, never once spoke ill about my mother. Never once. Even when he developed dementia during the last 3-4 years of his life, he would not recognise my mother, but he did remember her name. All he would say is “Take me to her. She is waiting for me.” Sometime later, when his memory would come back and he recognised her again, he would break out into such a smile that it would make my mom blush. 😂😂
One of the last conversations I had with him was regarding my mother. “She is a great woman, your mother. Always take care of her. She has sacrificed a lot in her life. She deserves to be happy.”
My dad’s health was overall in bad shape for the most part towards the last few years of his life. My mother took care of him on her own. We did help mom but it was mostly just her. She never complained. All she would say is he does not deserve to suffer this way. That he deserved all the good things life has to offer.
Even now, if we speak in a loud voice with her, she would say, “Your father never once raised his voice with me. How do you dare to speak this way with me?”
I don't know if matches are made in heaven. But if there ever was one, it's my parents.

You need to have all of the correct opinions and vocabulary if you're to make it out of white minimum wage. You're never going to make VP of Customer Enablement if you're not calling your girlfriend your "partner", or if you don't pay for streaming, and so on and so forth.

You must take the experience pill.
Intuition transforms the same way a muscle does: by resistance and encounter.
It grows by being tested against reason, dialogue & lived experience. Each time it survives contact with the unfamiliar, it becomes sharper & more reliable.

Yes, the story is largely true: Jangli Maharaj Road was built in 1976 by Recondo, run by two Parsi brothers, using advanced Hot Mix technology with a 10-year free repair guarantee. It stayed pothole-free for over 35 years. However, Recondo did get later repair work in 2013, and by late 2024, it developed potholes. Legendary durability, but not eternal.
