Disagree mate. The PR damage wiped off those billions off of Adani stocks. Institutional investors have largely stayed put and if not overtly supportive, haven't joined in the sell-off. I also don't see Adani having any trouble raising more money locally. That support by banks and...

You do realise this is a battle of PR, right? Not a legal battle where the court needs to be convinced of Adani's case, where the question of right or wrong comes in. Adani has already lost the perception battle with its poor handling of the allegations. They probably realise this. The group's...

Adani handled this very poorly from a PR point of view. I don't see any way for them to tide over this except to actually tide over this.

Not at all, most of the things we do on this forum can be classified as an 'unproductive spend of time'. No need to feel sorry for anyone. To borrow a line from Ted Lasso, it helps to be curious, not judgmental. I've learned much more since adopting that attitude, instead of seeing things in...

C'mon Eddy, what's with this 'gotcha' kind of post :D But if the retail investor's wealth is the primary concern of this thread, I'd say Adani is in a much better position than something such as, say, Reliance Power. I'd even go so far as to say now that they've become this big, they fall...

UPA or NDA, it's been a long-term dream of mine for India to grow rich enough to be able to buy out such people. Media, policymakers, think-tanks, what have you. China does it brilliantly and as a result, they've got an excellent and sustainable narrative-building capacity. Which is why it was a...

Multiple players, each jostling for a leg-up in the amoral, cutthroat world of geopolitics, as it should be. In India's case, these players (and their antics) are happily lapped up by our in-house useful idiots (not referring to any member here, please). I have absolutely no dog in this fight...

Glad that you clarified because I understood your usage of that term in its original meaning and was in awe that you'd mastered it :D. I have a shavette/straight-edge razor too and took a while to get the hang of it; it still isn't something I use regularly, more of a leisurely indulgence. The...

Very nuanced perspective, thanks for sharing! Amazon has the Galaxy Watch 4 LTE version at 16k, comparing favourably with the BT version at 13k. So, unless the BT version drops under 10k, the LTE version makes sense. I also see reviews and bits on forums that show Samsung improving the GW's...

Not much of a music aficionado but this song is the best thing you can listen to at the start of a relationship and the worst thing you can listen to at the end of one.

This, the US blowing up Nordstream, is entirely a plausible thing if one approaches foreign policy from a realist perspective. This also means giving oxygen to conspiracy theorists from all sides, but a closer examination of a country's IR playbook should be enough to separate the signal from...

I wouldn't put too much stock into this, tbh. My family doctor summarised it well when he said that it's impossible to be certain there'll be no ill-effects with the Covid vaccine, especially given its expedited development cycle. It was a probabilistic call to launch all vaccines as it was...

Couldn't have summarized it better myself. I used to get the occasional bump while shaving with cream/gel, but it's been silk smooth with no irritation after switching to a conditioner. Okay, I see what you mean but haven't faced this issue, and I've shaved over 6 times till now using this...

True Detective is one of those works where the climax takes a backseat to the build-up/exposition; much like life where there isn't always a grand ending that wraps up a certain sequence of events. While I thought this was likely incidental with the first season, the next two confirmed for me...

Can you suggest any band/watch that's decently competent when it comes to tracking accuracy? As with @Din, I'm willing to overlook connectivity if the trade-off entails better accuracy.

I had a high opinion of the Fitbit too, up until they were laid bare by 'The Quantified Scientist' on YouTube. It's nowhere close to the Apple Watch, which remains, much to the chagrin of the Android fanboi in me, unrivalled in fitness tracking accuracy.

Not an unpopular technique, if one goes by internet wisdom. And it is wisdom, now that I've experienced it first-hand. The conditioner is a better lubricant than the foam, which is why you'll almost never get nicks/cuts/razor burns while shaving with the conditioner. The razor just glides...

Yes, just the conditioner on wet skin. It's cheap and easy to apply, so I take a generous amount and swipe it all over my head right after bathing, which is when I shave. I started balding prematurely in the crown area, so decided to shave the entire head. For the 2nd pass, I sometimes use my...

Because it's all just... hot air :P Jokes apart, pictures would be there, but probably not for public consumption. Also, the fact that these balloons were drifting at a high altitude.

Probably TMI, but lying on the left side helps ease gas, and that's a decent way of saying it!
