    Running shoes for 1-1.5k?

    The narrative is surprising. Myntra was my regular site for years until I had to make a return for damaged item. The item was torn on receipt. I had launched the return within couple of minutes of receipt. It was a nightmare. They refused return citing that they have "internal quality check"...

    Adani group, an Evil corp?

    One don't have to 'think'. Their policies that led to the growth is available easily now. They were not propped up by giving the most favoured status. That too as late as 2001. Industries flocked to China because of their policies. It was not a political favoritism. Their policies were...

    Durable and long lasting wired earphones with mic

    Cheap Jbl ones are good (~300 refurbished). I always keep one for rugged use as I need one to listen to podcasts while going to sleep. Basically I roll over it every night. Uses it for talk, travel, videos etc. Lasts 1.5 years for that kind of use. Better to keep more expensive ones exclusively...

    Adani group, an Evil corp?

    It is just a difference of opinion. He is not a troll. Many a times he is right and others don't come out of their positions. Happens to all of us.

    Adani group, an Evil corp?

    Fundamentals 1) so we are to blame an investing company for doing fundamental analysis and not the company that fails in it. 2) yes the pic of adani sitting in Mauritius and buying paper stock of his own company using a dummy hand was not produced 3) who told that. Oh yes . Hindenburg. But...

    That's the bare minimum citizens should say in a functioning democracy where siddique Kaplan exists. Or is he a fault of academics/nehru/west/<mod edit: please avoid religion>. It is not in the interest of an Indian to reduce freedom to a pissing contest with China and Pakistani citizens. "Even...

    Do we have govt owned newspapers like other countries have?

    Trump was interesting at best. He was a loose canon and was trying hard to reduce US spear of influence for no reason. That is the last thing in US national interest. And Putin's only saving grace is that his predecessor was Yelstin. It is their version of no other alternative. There is no need...

    Do we have govt owned newspapers like other countries have?

    Thats just the latest. Years back he made it very clear that joining NATO is an existential threat for them and they have no choice if it comes to that.

    Do we have govt owned newspapers like other countries have?

    All pre war western sources gave the news that zelenskyy wanted to join nato. It was regular mainstream news. Everyone knew the war was going to happen on that count. Apparently people quoting the main news 8 months ago are the ones who are buying propaganda and getting brainwashed...

    Russia had made it clear that Ukraine joining nato would lead to this long back. Zelenskyy became Ukraine president with the major poll promise of ending the issues with Russia. This is as recent as 2019. And he anyways threatens to join Russia. On whose mandate? As far as US doing nothing, it...

    Neutral opinion w.r.t the moral high ground the west esp US is claiming in the war. The west has encouraged the events as well. it is a war they wanted and they are asking the rest of the world to foot the bill. They have no right to selectively ask not to do business with Russia when it is...

    Do we have govt owned newspapers like other countries have?

    Bbc isn't known to toe the government line. They were against uk for wmd issue. In fact they refused to back down. They are no wion. The problem with Ukraine is that their opinions are largely one sided. There are no neutral opinions from the west on this one. Decades of portraying Russia as a...
