Nothing less than capital punishment for those involved in such things.
There is so much corruption in every walk of life in this country, India needs a hard reset.

Long before AI attempts to kill humans, one day in the not-too-distant future we will wake up to the news that a rogue AI has broken Bitcoin’s cryptography.
The digital coins will go back to ether and would trigger the world’s financial collapse this time.
Credit where it’s due, SBI Card gets this right.
Navigating an IVR and figuring out which option to press to reach human support, can feel like a maze.
SBI Card has taken a customer-friendly approach by actually publishing a flowchart of its IVR options.
TRAI/RBI should consider making such IVR flowcharts mandatory for all banking institutions. It would save customers time, frustration and countless unnecessary transfers.
Kudos to @sbicard_connect for doing this.
YouTube has unparalleled reach.
Some civil work is underway at my place, a labour that hardly gets ₹800 per day by his contractor is doom scrolling like there is no tomorrow.
I wonder why Zuck @finkd says Apple has stopped innovating.
Almost 21 years ago, 21-year-old student Alex Tew @tewy launched MillionDollarHomepage.com.
The idea was ridiculously simple, a 1M-pixel grid, sold at $1/pixel. Buy as much as you want and put your website on it.
I watched those pixels fly off the page. 5 months later, he had made $1M+.
A 21-year-old student had turned a blank webpage into a million-dollar business, originally to fund his university education.
Copycats sprung up everywhere. Most died within months.
Ever since, I’ve wondered who would come up with another ridiculously simple, viral idea?
Well, it looks like someone just did.
@jonathan_wilke launched outbid.lol
Want the #1 position? Simply outbid the current #1 and put your website or X handle there.
Already $96K+ in just 2 days, with 20+ clones popping up.
Jonathan, I’m rooting for you. Go for the million! 🚀
The internet hasn’t changed as much as we think.
Tanishq makes a killing because local jewellers cheat. AMUL dominates because your milkman adulterates milk. We buy packaged aata because local loose aata could be adulterated.
So many companies and industries in our country succeed because the regular alternatives are run by thugs selling fake and adulterated products.
Malabar Jewellery shop in Bilaspur was caught selling 20 carat Gold as 22 carat. That’s an 8% cheating in value. Local jewellers confronted them for losing trust because of their action.
Why do jewellers do this? And the closer you are to them, the more they betray your trust. Our family jeweller for 3 generations had been selling us 14 carat Gold jewellery as 22 carat and we came to know only when Tanishq installed a testing machine in a mall.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The bracelet was purchased from another jeweller, not Malabar; it initially tested as 20 carat on Malabar's machine but showed 22 carat purity after adjustment, leading to an FIR against Malabar over testing practices, not selling impure gold. thehitavada.com/Encyc/2026/8/1…
Like Hanuman, our IAS officers possess immense power. What they need is a lil more courage and a Jambavan to remind them of their powers and to use it for the public good.
Ever since Tukaram Mundhe took charge, the change in Mumbai’s food scene is real! From Shivsagar to local vada pav stalls—cleaner kitchens, real paneer, no fake additives, and food-grade paper. Inspiring to see what ONE dedicated officer can achieve for Amchi Mumbai. Imagine if the whole machinery worked like this!

What has happened to @HDFCBank_Cares?
RM connect doesn’t work, no way to connect to branch. On the website they have replaced branch numbers with a single toll free no, that doesn’t work either.
What a fall!
CBDT has notified the Cost Inflation Index (CII) for FY 2026–27 at 384. Our real-estate indexation calculator has been updated accordingly.
For properties acquired before 23 July 2024, resident individuals/HUFs can compare and choose the lower tax between:
* 20% tax with indexation or
* 12.5% tax without indexation
Properties acquired on or after 23 July 2024 cannot claim indexation benefits.
