The Indian budget every year has always been an eagerly awaited event. For many decades, the best minds in economics, finance, tax, business and industry throng the media house to analyze the provisions shared by the Financial Minister.
Sometimes major events completely disconnected may be data points for the plans of the different powers around the world. The challenge is to discern what purpose they serve? More critically, what are we moving towards?
When the US Ambassador threatened India's "Strategic Autonomy" policy over India's friendship with Russia - much more than meets the eye was at stake. Let us unpack how the Ukraine war has fundamentally changed the US and the world. And why are we here anyway?
When all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail to you.
Rahul Gandhi has tried his best to float a lie in the normal public – the untruth about Rafale. But thanks to the rock solid integrity of the Modi Government cabinet and their transparent dealings, nothing has stuck. In fact, the opposite has happened – his lies on Rafale and the Air strikes has resulted in Rahul Gandhi‘s “popularity” plummeting!
All those negative messages against Modi and actually India in particular have landed Rahul Gandhi in a ditch! From over 20% to now around 8%!
But that does not stop him from opening his mouth in only dinging Modi and going on with his rather boring and painful rant on Rafale, Ambanis etc. No one is really interested anymore in his falsehoods. But who can drill any sense in his brain?
Look at this exchange – where a young girl is asking about her interest in sports and badminton and love for that sport and is asking Rahul Gandhi for his advice.
But what does he start off on? Rafale, Ambani blah blah blah. The young kid’s expression is worth noticing! She can’t believe what hit her! She is gaping at him trying to figure out how does what he is saying relate to the question?
Of course, in the meanwhile, despite – and probably also because Congress’ anti-national and asinine comments – that Modi’s popularity has sky-rocketed! It has grown due to the different events like crazy
Some people think that masses are idiots and cannot think on their own. That they cannot identify when people are lying so blatantly. Congress has been assuming that crafty and mischievous speak can make headway in the minds of rural masses.
The fact is that people are intelligent and when their lives are significantly impacted in real terms, they know who is right and who is not.
It would be better for Congress and this idiot Rahul Gandhi to come to their senses. For this time, the drubbing will be far too ignominious!

This visit of India left me with many questions. Many observations and inputs from different people and sections. Food for thought that I have tried to contemplate on and make sense of. Sharing all that with you.
When you analyze the last 60 years of the economic miracles of Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia versus the continued impoverished Indian economy, you get very interesting lessons. Can Indians have the wherewithal in them to do in one generation so that the coming generations may rise?
