Indians who do their undergrads in the US: a diatribe on what they do, the companies they start, and who they really are.

One invention that I believe harms the environment the most and is hardly useful is the small plastic water bottle (100–500 ml).
Earlier, we used to serve water in glasses. Now, wherever we go, we are given small plastic bottles. Even weddings follow this trend, creating huge amounts of plastic waste.
In the Andaman Islands, water bottles below 2 litres are not allowed, and you will rarely find plastic bottles in restaurants or hotels. I think this is a great step, and one reason why the beaches and roads there are so clean.
Other states should learn from this.

Indian stock exchanges are closed today for Mumbai's municipal elections.
The fact that our exchanges, which have international linkages, are shut down for a local municipal election shows poor planning and a serious lack of appreciation for second-order effects.
As Munger said: "Show me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome."
The holiday exists because no one who matters has any incentive to oppose the market holiday.
It also tells you how far we have to go before global investors take us seriously.

Same thing with religious indoctrination (brainwash).
Every child's religion is their parent's religion and they think their religion is right/best.
Just layers of identity wrapped around the next generation, with no real positive purpose, just dead weight/ baggage.

India is just a "Cash Cow" for celebrities who wouldn't dream of living here.
Let’s be honest: India has become nothing more than a giant ATM for A-list actors, cricketers, and influencers.
They exploit our massive population and emotional fanbases to secure multi-million dollar deals and brand endorsements. They sell us "national pride" and "community," but the second the paycheck clears, they flee to London, Dubai, or LA .
It’s the ultimate grift. They rely on the Indian public to stay relevant and wealthy, but they find our actual living conditions, the air, the traffic, the taxes beneath them.
Why do we keep fueling the lifestyles of people who treat our country like a workspace and the rest of the world like a home? Is it "smart business," or are we just being played?

User bank accounts must be verified using a small test transaction.
Users must submit extra government photo ID documents.
Email ID and mobile number verification is now mandatory.
Indian tax officials say crypto and DeFi make tax tracking difficult.
Anonymous wallets and cross-border transfers add to the challenge.

As a nation and society we are on wrong path when closure of a 50 seat medical College bothers us less than celebrating some visit to a religious place.
In Covid these religious places were shut. But hospitals were open.
Doctors were working, not gods
