Reality Scores Over Sentiments

  Reality Scores Over Sentiments Global Scenario: I believe 2025 will be a year of navigating turbulence rather than one of rapid GDP growth. Global economic expansion is expected to remain subdued, with the U.S. projected to grow at a modest 2.0% , the Eurozone lagging at 0.9% , and China’s growth forecast at 4.2% —well below its historical average. Persistent inflation, fuelled by higher fiscal spending and potential tariff hikes, may limit central banks' ability to cut interest rates as they strive to balance growth and inflation control. A few months into 2025, the sharp decline in the U.S. stock market has prompted leading Wall Street analysts to revise their bullish outlook for the S&P 500. Heightened uncertainty around President Donald Trump’s evolving tariff policies and retaliatory measures from trading partners have triggered fears of an escalating global trade war, leading to increased market volatility. As of March 17, 2025 , Wall Street’s revised year-e...

Munching Time - The Immortals

  Munching Time - The Immortals What truly defines a human being? At our core, we are living entities governed by the most sophisticated part of our body— The Brain . I’m not here to write a medical thriller like one of Robin Cook’s bestsellers, nor am I scripting a sci-fi movie like Minority Report . Instead, I want to explore an idea that may seem like science fiction today but could become reality in the not-so-distant future. The human brain is the ultimate command center, a marvel of design, constantly processing and evolving. It stores our memories—our experiences, learnings, emotions, and reactions—and ultimately, it defines who we are. Beyond these memories, the rest of the human body serves as support: the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, sensory organs, limbs—all functioning to keep us alive, directed by the brain. Now, imagine the unimaginable: what if science and technology find a way to download the entirety of our memories, our consciousness, onto a memory chip ...

Slum Heart Millionaires - A True Incident

                                                                                      Slum Heart Millionaires This true story may never hit the headlines, lacking the sensational elements of corruption, crime, sex scandals, or scams. But its human touch reflects another beautiful reality of the island city of dreams, Mumbai. Like many Mumbaikars, I didn't take the weather bureau’s predictions seriously. I thought it wouldn’t rain as heavily —yet, the rain was relentless. Incessant, accompanied by thunder and lightning, the city was soon knee-deep in water, grinding to a halt as it often does during monsoon. For Mumbaikars, this is the price we pay for living here. I left my office in the upscale neighborhood of Powai at 7:30 p.m., expecting a quick 20-minute drive to my...

THE MASKED CITY

THE MASKED CITY I would still prefer to call ‘Mumbai’ as ‘Bombay’-colloquial to the city of dreamers, achievers and wanderers. The city where everyone believes dreams come true, was once made up of seven marshy islands, and was originally inhabited by fishermen, known as kolis. The islands were ruled by the Silahara Hindu rulers of Puri, who also built the city’s medieval Walkeshwar temple complex. It appears the islands became part of the maritime trading network of the north Konkan ports that the Silaharas controlled. This overseas trade brought in a floating population of traders and seafarers, including Hindus, Muslims, Arabs, Persians and Jews. Prosperity came, and since then, Bombay has been a magnet for migrants, from the arrival of the Arabs of the Gujarat sultanate, to the Portuguese who became the Roman Catholic converters of large swathes of Mumbai’s population, to the English in 1661. Everyone came to Bombay — from the Gujarati speaking trading and ...

Sushant: could not practice what he preached in ‘Chhichhore’

Sushant: could not practice what he preached in ‘Chhichhore’ Life is Beautiful ‘Sushant Singh Rajput’ takes away his own life! What one gets by doing this? Peace! Seemingly today he got rid of whatever situation he was facing. However, can he even enjoy that peace? Because, to enjoy; one has to be alive.   Ending life is no solution, as we don’t know what happens there after; that’s a mystery. We must value ourselves and our parents who would have raised us with so much love, affection, expectations and would have sacrificed their own needs for our   wants, so that, we get the best . We have responsibilities towards our kids, who bestow so much of faith in our decisions and look-up to us as their natural hero. We must prepare and train ourselves, our children and siblings to face vagaries of life like a battle hardened soldier; accept failures and success with equal grace and fight back by taking learning from the past failures and not succumb to them. We ...

Rs 20 Lakh Crore Hope

Rs 20 Lakh Crore Hope PM Narendra Modi announced a Rs 20-lakh-crore stimulus package, equivalent to about 10% of India’s GDP, aimed at making the country self-reliant and reviving the stalled economy. Details of the plan, dubbed the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan, will be unveiled by finance minister Mrs. Nirmala Sitharaman today evening at 4pm. The package is seen as a government attempt to check the world's fifth-largest economy hurtling towards its first full-year contraction in four decades. According to estimates, lockdown may have led to 12.2 Crore people losing jobs and consumer demand evaporating. The package will focus on land, labor, liquidity and laws, and will cater to various sectors including the cottage industries, micro, small & medium enterprises (MSMEs), the working class, middle class and industry, among others. He said the package will also focus on empowering the poor, laborers and migrant workers, both in the organized and unorganized sectors. It...
