There seems to be a sense of fear among many regarding the prospect of global trade as the result of the ongoing trade war and the war cry of "we want to be self reliant economy with indigenous products" by many countries. This fear, predominantly driven by mainstream media, has led many to take pessimistic view on global trade so much so that even the educated ones in the field of finance are…
Whether it's a government job or a private one, as long as it is a good job it takes a lot of effort from the side of the applicant to get it. But the similarities between both sector jobs end once the offer letter is received. I don't need to tell how a public sector employee's work differs from that of private as government job life is considered more often than not to be of…
Note: This is a satirical and critical opinion piece. It is not intended to offend or hurt anyone’s sentiments. The aim is to provoke thought about the nature of power and its unexpected manifestations. The existence of hierarchy in humans is older than humans themselves and ever since there has been hierarchy there has always been someone on top - in power. All sort of people have been in power,…
"Give them bread and circus and they will not revolt." said Roman poet Juvenal. "brooooo....!" probably replied the Roman king Maximus as the the idea to start Roman circus hit his brain. For 'games', there were many. For 'bread', it was already coming from Egypt. It was only the public unrest that was not in control, but the circus paved the way! Roman emperors started one of…
The most successful inventions are the one which becomes invisible after sometime. Think of comb for a moment and imagine a world where there is no comb. It is such a simple technology but it makes our lives so, so much better. Despite its significance we don't usually stop and think much about it. Quite understandable as comb is just one among hundreds of technologies we use every single…
What if your mind - and mine too - is like a box which can fill at any given point of time, at most, one thousand facts in it. It is a box, it has a limit on how much it can store. It is restricted by the space in it. Such that if you learn five new facts, your brain must dispose five older ones to make space for the new five facts. But ever since we were born our senses are feeding our brain with…
Many know that Franz Kafka is famous for his writings, but few know that what was putting food on his table was his job of insurance agent not his writings. Similar was the situation for Ibn-Battuta. One of the greatest traveler in human history. Bro in his 30 years of travel crossed 75000 unbelievable miles in Asia and Africa! But travel doesn't pay, it was all sort of different jobs he did…
Bureaucrats are some of the most credible gang members as they seldom snitch on their collective wasteful activities. At this point it is a widely accepted notion that even the most fertile kind of land gets turned into most barren and lifeless one the moment it get touched by the bureaucracy. I believe, much has already been written about this peculiar characteristic of the bureaucracy.…
So yeah, I fall for the memes...again. It has been a while since Luke Smith has gone away from the internet, but his videos keep making people fall for his memes. Considering majority of my readers already know Luke Smith, but do you remember that weird looking keyboard thing he had? That thinkpad like trackpointd in middle of that white old industrial looking keyboard? The keyboard he used to…
As I have not yet reached the point where I can teach others - How to write. I can least try to show my own mistakes in writing and can show - How not to write. This is exactly one of those occasions where I have been able to find a fatal stupidity in one of my own writing which I want to share with you. To be honest, my last written article is a piece of trash. If I had written it on paper, it…
It has been some time since Adam Smith and David Ricardo open-sourced the code for free trade - world arena. It is a global multiplayer game where countries participate in free trade. This free trade is "free as in freedom" not "free as in free beer" as countries have liberty to enter into trade devoid of restrictions like tariffs, quotas and other unfair trade practices. Which leads to giving…
I used AI cross-species translator app to chat with one of my dog friend. Apparently he is not happy that I am objectifying him as a source of happiness. The dog protests that he is more than just a depression treatment. You might be thinking what nonsense I am talking about but wait I will explain you everything. So there is this dog which lives in my street, he is my neighbour. If you ask him,…
Sometime circumstances surprise you with gifts. That's I guess is the nature of circumstances. One of those gifts are the few memorable teachers which you encounter in your academic life. I have yet to meet someone who can't recall at least one teacher who contributed in their life for good. There is always this one teacher in everyone's life. I have had many. The teacher in MBA who…
I am an Indian. Kinda nationalist. But not that type of nationalist which you might be thinking right now. I am nationalist for the nation, for which Bhagat Singh gave his life at a tinder age of 23. I am not only a nationalist, I should stop bragging about that right here. I don't actually like or want to brag about my nationalism but it is the nature of current events which is making me to…
After a day filled with complete chaos, as I came to my room to relax and sleep for few hours, as usual I turned on my laptop and came across this video of Milton Friedman regarding ways in which one can spend money. I must confess it is one of those rare small-duration, interesting and thought provoking video. See for example the first way he tells is when you spend your own money on yourself you…
I have been a morning person for most of my life. I have no one to credit but my father for that. He has has always been my alarm. In my perspective every morning is a race between the sun and my father to see who wakes up early. Through my experience I have found that the sun loses hundred percent of the times. The reason why I am sharing this detail is because it's quite late in the night…
"What is this guys! What is this! Is this how we are gonna be a $5 trillion economy?" That's what MS Dhoni would have said if he were to be the GDP Captain of India. But clearly he is not so I had to say it. And why shouldn't I? No it's not because I am the GDP captain of India, but I have acquired this right merely because I own this website. I can write whatever I want to. And…
Sell me Obsidian. Or any other note taking app for that matter. I want to buy it, sell me. I was influenced so much by youtube's productivity gurus that I wanted have all my knowledge base on these apps. I tried things like Obsidian, Joplin and so on. I don't even remember their names now, they were so NPC. After trying all these, one after other, I found myself continuously pulling my…
In this new episode of 'Ban in India', the Indian government follows its previous footsteps and this time makes a big leap by banning the concept of privacy altogether in India. Ahh, my previous statement might be an exaggeration, as some legal experts might point out, but hey, it's still a significant attack on the average Joe's privacy. Let's conclude the news to the…
The American constitution and its consequences have been a disaster for our Unabomber. It is only with great displeasure to inform you that Unabomber (Ted kaczynski) died yesterday in prison cell. Chances are that you might have already heard this disheartening news. For those unfortunate folks who are unfamiliar with his name, I must provide a small introduction of Unabomber. Ted Kaczynski or…
Elon musk: the real life Irony Man! Just few day ago Elon Musk along with apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and more than 1000 people from AI industry signed a petition to pause the development in AI. The petition says: "We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4." With this being done you might think "Oh Musk cares so much…
"Literally 1984!" that's what all our 'best' 'No 1' 'Leading' 'top' investment Adviser/research analyst must be screaming right now. why? why shouldn't they! The way investment advisers (IA)/ research analysts (RA) advertise themselves is not hidden from anyone. What I mean is the usage of words: the promises, fake claims are common in…
At first I was bit reluctant to use ChatGPT not only because of the general expected behavior of a human being to show less interest in new technology which has potential to alter the way in which the work is already done. Not from the consequence of that. I was reluctant to ChatGPT because it was asking my mobile number to signup! Yes, I understand companies these days are going pretty crazy to…
More often than not Google celebrates the birthday of famous figures by showing their picture on its front page. I was surprised to see that there was no image of Bhagat Singh on the main page today. But anyways, its the birthday of our hero Bhagat Singh. For the ones who don't know about Bhagat Singh : He is the symbol of bravery for many Indians and Pakistanis. Dude was born in 28 sep, 1907…
Finally! the government is taking the required measures against small credit apps. What is it all about? Before starting let me first introduce my readers to the situation (Even if you are not from India this might be good case study): It all started just few years ago when all of a sudden few loan apps started to emerge on app/play store. What these companies were doing is providing small…
Ladies and gentleman its great pleasure to inform you that I'm about to become a millionaire. Contrary to popular belief one doesn't necessarily need to work hard in order to become a millionaire. Instead one should be just adequately aware about the opportunities which are given in life. In my case I found the opportunity in my spam box. At first I thought its just another spam email…
Recently I finished reading 'Crime And Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I don't usually like to read fiction as I find it to be just a waste of time. (Although this thinking seems to be changing as I continue to read more) After reading this book I realized the reason why people tend to put Dostoevsky on such a high regard. So, following is my review of the book: 'Crime And…

I'm currently daily driving MX Linux. In Debian side of the world, in my experience, I have found MX Linux to be a fair alternative to Ubuntu. It is actually a really good distro, and I have some points to back my statement: 1- According to MX Linux's developers it's a user-oriented distribution. Which means it includes some non-free software in it by default in order to make this…
Lately I've been getting lot of calls from my bank telling me to get a free credit card. Not only my bank but also the banks in which i don't even have account are also offering me free credit card. And not only banks but also some new fancy companies have approached me for interest free virtual credit card. For a moment i thought my country is turning into some welfare state where they…
What if we are living in a simulation. What if we all are just some characters in a video game, In which all the decisions which we think that we make (Deciding to drink water or choosing partner) are actually not made by us but by the person who is playing the video game. or maybe the simulation code from which our universe is made makes all the decisions. What if all the laws of nature are just…
To protect the easily exploitable consumers our Govt. banned Tiktok. Now it seems to be the turn of cryptocurrencies. Arguments are being made by people in defence of crypto currency ban. But as things are not yet quite clear in the bill. We are left with speculations and arguments. Just banning cryptocurrency doesn't seems to be a viable solution. One argument is that there are just too many…
Everyone on internet has been talking about Meta and Metaverse since its idea was proposed by Zuckerberg. I think the general opinion of people on internet can be summerised this way: "The idea of metaverse looks like something from black mirror. Everyone knows its bad hence its just another bad decision made by Facebook." I do agree with the first part that the idea of Meta does look like…
to install software via apt in debian and debian based distros you have to type "sudo apt install foo" however there are two problems with this: 1- you have to know the exact name of the package you want to install 2- you have to type "sudo apt install foo" which is somewhat long. there is a cool trick which someone posted on reddit.(and i can't remember the exact source at this moment) paste…
The Musical Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for human race. Gone are the days of sophisticated lyrics and good voice. Junk lyrics with auto-tune voice is ruling the music market. This is the music revolution. You might find me ranting about these new age songs here but this is also true that there are way more people who intoxicate themselves with these type of junk songs as…
If we go to Distrowatch we can find that there are hundreds of Linux distros listed there but at the end we can see that most of those Linux distros are more or less themed versions of three major Linux distributions i.e Arch, Debian and Fedora. Reviewing all of the distributions available on Distrowatch is not only time consuming but also irrelevant. Hence i will restrict myself with reviewing…
in his recent work Luke smith, while explaining freedom, writes: "Christians stated the classical view of freedom very clearly. Paul writes that all men are either "slaves to Christ" or "slaves to sin." The modern man wants to retort that he does't want to be a slave to anything, but wants to be his own master, but there is really no such thing. One can be guided by Christ, or more generally,…
it's been almost a year since Indian government banned TikTok. what is interesting here is that tiktok was banned not only because of political reasons but also because of social reasons. people, especially the ones with power thought that tiktok is degenerating their youth. but these boomers forgot that it was the 'social' who was responsible for the tiktok i.e it was the market…
from books being the hobby of only rich people to mass printing, and from village halls to internet, a lot has been changed. 100 years ago the means of getting information were so less that the question was "how to get information". and now an average man is surrounded by so many equipments of getting information that now the question is not "how to get information" but "what information to get".…
