You can't just give 3 cards a day and say it's over also, to keep the cards locked at 14-2 is wrong. All that effort to get Ali Murtaza doesn't make sense. Need a better cards system. 16-0 should be rewarded better. Lastly, I think we need 3-4 swaps at least. 2 swaps isn't enough and if we are taking 2 seasons till auction for 25 players base having 5 changes, for 11 players it should shorten to 3-4 changes at least.

Has anyone been able to get this?

I was watching the latest Avatar Aang movie as have been a fan of the series for years. The Tagah character reminded me of many in this sub and in the world out there.

When a ancient civilization or tradition faces severe historical decline, marginalization, or homogenization, is aggressive revivalism justified, or does it risk destroying the very ethos it seeks to save?

In real-world historical contexts:

• The Risk of Reactive Transformation: When a decentralized, pluralistic ethos adopts the rigid, reactive tactics of its aggressors, it risks becoming the very thing it resisted—subjugating its own internal diversity for ideological conformity.
• Sustainable Restoration: True revival of an ancient heritage relies on constructive preservation: reinstating institutional autonomy, revitalizing classical languages (like Sanskrit), supporting traditional art forms, and fostering deep textual scholarship rather than purely political conflict.

Yet,

When Tagah wakes up 5,000 years later, his worst fears have been validated on a global scale:

• The Earth Kingdom decimated his people in his own time.
• The Fire Nation wiped out every remaining man, woman, and child 100 years ago.
• The Air Nomads held zero responsibility for starting either war. They built no empires, conquered no land, and posed no existential threat—yet they were systematically targeted and obliterated simply because they were physically defenseless.

Today I ask you. Till how long will we accept the monotheists killing our people calling for our witch hunt. They killed our Rome, our Persia, our Arabia, our Greece, our Norse and our Celts.

All polytheistic faiths where taught to respect the enemies' gods no matter your differences yet today we live in a world where none of our sister civilizations survive cause just like Tagah, just like Savarkar, just like Julian the Apostate or Khosrou the Second or King Juba the Second or Emperoro Guangxu or Widukind or Penda of Mercia or Rajan Humabon or Hayam Wuruk or Sri Maharaja where either forgotten or their own backstabbed them to protect this monotheistic and atheistic drivel. What do you think?

The question is simple. How can Sanatana or any other polytheistic approach survive in such a ruthless centralized monotheistic world.

To anyone that has seen Dhurandhar part 1 & 2, and even IC814 movie, how many of you where pissed with BJP for the handling of the IC814 Khandhar Hijack issue? Guess what BJP lost 2004 because it was seen as weak on national security. The way BJP has handled protests, how it refuses to engage in the media, refuses to explain many good policies or reforms it has passed, some of which are ahead of the curve in any developing country or how it refuses to participate with criticism in public as they are reminded of how Godhi Media of it's own creation in 2000s cost Vajpayee the elections in 2004, all will come back to bite it in the behind. Yes, Godhi changes but the media remains the same. Don't be surprised.

This protest effectively was our IC814 with these protests being a failure of leadership in so many aspects.

I think these protests are building upto a 2001 where something major will happen during the protests where 100s-1000s of people will die and 10s of thousands will be deeply affected as the government's monitoring of the issues was pathetic and response was worse. Rationale is simple.

We need home grown social media, for which we need home grown physical tech and manufacturing not foreign as foreign players look for highest profits and irrational actors like these protesters will spend millions and waste various grants and other legitimate sources of funding without getting any positive tangible results but will enrich Instagram and Facebook and twitter and all. This is across the aisle regardless of left or right wing. And I'm not saying blind Swadeshi but make something functional like Hike messenger which WhatsApp emulates today in function.

A right wing atheist free speech absolutist Youtuber by the name of Kushal Mehra(IK, not very well liked by the left) said something to this tune but not the same , " The Gen X and Millennials are watching. They earlier used to not say anything because they thought who will argue with these fools over the long term benefits. Today they are quiet cause they want to see who all are the miscreants who are wasting our time. Tomorrow when the time is right, when you go in search of jobs, or to start a business or to take a loan or to get a passport made or a Visa approved, they shall quietly take actions. And mind you I am against such actions, but understand, it's within the law and you will be in trouble, jobless, homeless or worse jailed."

Point is we are Gen Z. Vent out your anger here. But, don't go to these protests. Wangchuk is fine today. He broke his fast. Even thought the fault for the NEET leaks is because of Nadda refusing to allow NEET to go to electronic mode earlier as he was stopping for the health ministry, Dharmendra Pradhan had to take the blame, although he is incompetent, you are punishing him for the crimes of another. This lack of observation from Gen Z is what the older people observe. They observe are emotional outburst, our searches for truths and in the end they just ask us one question. Are you ready to destroy your whole lives over one perception of what you call as truth?

Think about this very carefully. All those people who went to those protests, even simple people who where sharing food and helping people who got injured there, even they have been profiled by the same tech as that used to find missing kids in India. You are literally, looking at justifications being developed due to you giving precedents for implementation of draconian laws. All you had to do was wait and reform the system step by step, but no this urgency to be heard, this so called perception that free speech is absolute when Samay Raina, Munnawar Farooqui, Nupur Sharma, so many others have been arrested over free speech not being absolute. Nehruji was visionary on many things and his advocacy for Women's rights via the Hindu Code Bill along with Ambedkarji is worthy of commendation and laurels but the First Amendment in India restricting Free Speech to certain conditions as he fear an uneducated and uncouth opposition, could very well be the biggest blunder as it allows anyone in power to justify any action against you via any reason and it will allow free speech to be the luxury of the rich and powerful.

Essentially, please be sensible. Invest in yourselves and work hard. The World Economy is sinking. As Balaji Srinivasan puts it, the left and right of the world as well as commoners are taking more and more extreme and ridiculous decision as failure is seen as a social death warrant. Which it has been because of our society being extremely Anti-Free Speech. You get called either Andh*khat or Anti-National, which is fine but then you start dehumanizing each other. The left says without data that people on the right are brutal and they are kinda right but it's because of a few but extreme examples, like the Graham Staines case etc, while the right claims that the left and it's antecedents are the problem.

Look I come from a different school of thought from both. I believe manufacturing is key for jobs as there are many people who could work in factories but rather prefer to do IAS prep as the returns are exponentially higher there even though it's no better than Gambling and very very corrupt. The IAS loots this country, breaks it apart and sells us to the highest bidder at every level. This includes it's antecedents like State level bureaucrats, Municipal Bureaucrats, etc. Along with them comes our Judiciary which is known for pendency and latency and has it's own corruption, a brief of which was seen with the case of Atul Subhash and Justice Yashwant Verma's case. The police require reforms and people need to understand the super high suicide rates they face because they are actually the least corrupt but the most visible amongst the three on the corruption ladder.

The politicians have moved on from open scams to slow small corruptions and if you think Gadakari is making is bucks of Ethanol, you are being dumb. His real money comes from the roads being damaged all the time. Ethanol doesn't even make a dent and the real reason for Ethanol is that Petroleum Refining is no longer sustainable in India due to every international participant asking for higher collaterals, margins and therefore a higher interest and bigger burden on exchequer.

So, overall, if you feel you have to work hard, the truth is yes, very much and more than any generation prior. Is it fair, no. Is it correct no. Will changing this regime for a more socialist and less fiscally responsible one help, certainly not. Can a fiscally responsible party win elections, 2024 was proof that fiscal responsibility didn't help BJP. Then what's the solution?

Private cities with private infrastructure for manufacturing an REITs for IT. Transition to servitization and improving infrastructure using it. Cause ownership being affordable days are long gone. Land prices will see a blip next year and the year following but after that, anyone who owns land will be king. Cities will become unlivable.

Honestly, these protests will not be able to do anything. I'm sorry if I come off as pessimistic. But, without money, our generation is like a dog that only barks without a bite. We will be chewed and spat to the ground, gelded like male calves which have no utility, thrown to stray to be sold to a butcher. Our only hope is to focus on getting rich. There's still hope for innovators and manufacturers. Services which improve manufacturing will see demand, while all these services built on left leaning ideas like Private Equity, where a person replaces the government as a private government but without any skin in the game with the soil sitting on their high clouds like the fools in Kremlin under Gorbachev, who tried to have him assassinated, thinking like them will only make things worse. Please show sense people.

My advice to people on the left. If you want something to be done, stop protesting and asking others to spend their money in the form or taxes etc. Rather focus on building companies like Tata or Birla or even your own Amul like cooperatives which can spend and invest in communities. Do better than Narayan Murthy and give RSUs as well as turn your company into a co-operative functioning as a MSME or tomorrow as a worker owned listed entity achieving your socialist dreams via skin in the game in the system. The system isn't all bad but it's mostly bad and a smart man build the roads and bridges on which we can traverse together.

Bye.

I hope you can create something similar to this for First Class Cricket, List A Cricket, T20 Domestics as well as one for Internationals where the goals are simple.

In FC and List A the teams will be only after 1970s. T20s will be the CL T20 but a 10 game tournament with KOs. For Tests keep a WTC with a WXi to play 17-0. For ODIs and T20is the WC with 35 games unbeaten as the challenge.

This is long 2 hour podcast on the E20 controversy from the side of the Indian right. Their excuses are 3.

1. Rupee fell cause we bought much of Chinese oil as Chinese ports refused to purchase over priced oil, reneging on contracts on a loss rather than buy the oil.

2. We need E20 because Actual fuel would cost 160-200 per litre if we sold it post refining.

3. E20 damage is real but E20 isn't the only cause. Badly maintained petrol pumps, untrust worthy sources, adulteration with the BS sources for money, these are common practices in India, which are costing the economy.

4. Supply chains for EVs are neither efficient nor cost effective and where people like Sanjeev Sanyal are asking for larger storage solutions, like large scale energy storage via better battery tech including even Sodium Ion if possible, the biggest issue is investment into the same isn't very cost effective and E85 and flex fuel vehicles are the only solution in 2-3 years time.

Essentially, we are in a big fiscal trap in every direction and this is partially because of the cowardice of the government in 2021 with regards to the implementation of the Farm Laws.

But, two points by them where a bit weird.

A. The surplus from blending is only 30k Cr as farmers take upto 3.3 lakh crores as payment for producing maize and millets as government wants people to move away from Rice and Wheat cultivation as they are destroying the soil and water table as well as making the country obese.

This makes too much sense, yet, why do Indians protect rice and wheat like they are some gods?

B. If we knew all these issues existed, why didn't we bring in a law against giving of freebies without a cost benefit analysis white paper compulsorily to be published with right to challenge in court for 90 days. The farm laws could have had lesser issues if they had explained all this.

They are getting a lot of hate for defending all this but adulteration of many things is getting way too common today even though it's statistically an insignificant number, over time, it will become significant if the government takes no action.

Hear me out. The mainstream history of the Umayyad collapse and the Abbasid rise is usually taught as an internal religious and ethnic dispute. But if you look at the macroeconomics and geopolitics of the 8th century, a much wilder theory emerges.

What if the Abbasid Golden Age—and the later anti-India "jihad" of Ghazni and Ghori—was actually the result of a massive economic humiliation at the hands of Indian kings?

Here is the theory. Let me know if this holds up:

1. The Hammer Blow (The 4 Heroes)

In the 730s, the Umayyad Caliphate was a massive, expansionist superpower built on a raiding economy—they needed constant conquest and booty to survive. But they hit a brick wall in India. A coalition of four heavyweights—Bappa Rawal, Nagabhata I, Lalitaditya Muktapida, and Dantidurga—absolutely annihilated the Umayyad armies on multiple fronts (land and sea).

2. The Economic Collapse & Social Restructuring

This wasn't just a military defeat; it was a market crash. The Indian resistance broke the Umayyad business model. Bankrupt and humiliated, the Umayyads faced a massive rebellion.

This forces a massive social restructuring in both regions:

• In the Middle East: The Arab-supremacist Umayyads are overthrown. The Abbasids take over, heavily reliant on the Mawali (Persians and non-Arab converts) to survive. They pivot from military raiding to an intellectual/trade monopoly.
• In India: The Indian powers, victorious but exhausted, experience their own social restructuring (hardening of the caste system, marginalization of tribes) and turn inward, kicking off the Tripartite Struggle over Kannauj.

3. The favorable trade charters and guilds like Marwaris, Sindhis etc., "Tribute," and the Humiliation

Because the Indian powers are busy fighting each other, the Abbasids get breathing room. But they are forced into highly favorable trade charters or similar guilds or even shadow economic tributes to Indian empires like the Rashtrakutas (who controlled the western ports). The Abbasids had to play nice and allow Indian merchant guilds to extract massive wealth through maritime trade.

4. The Revisionism and the Backlash

Here is the core question: Did this massive economic capitulation and reliance on India create a deep-seated historical resentment?

The Abbasids spent the next few centuries rewriting Islamic law and history (compiling the Hadiths, translating global texts). Is it possible that the memory of being broken by "Kafir" kings—and being forced into economic subservience via trade—fueled a quiet, institutional "India hate" in their literature? And did this revised, Persianized Islamic literature later serve as the ideological justification for Turkic warlords like Mahmud of Ghazni and Muhammad of Ghori to launch their brutal, wealth-extracting "jihads" into India centuries later?

TL;DR: Four Indian kings broke the Umayyad military machine, forcing the Islamic world to restructure its society and economy. Did the resulting Indian economic dominance (FTAs/tribute) cause a long-term ideological humiliation that eventually birthed the anti-India invasions of the 11th/12th centuries?

I'm not saying irrational stuff like we went to Baghdad and killed the Caliph. I'm saying we defeated their core forces, and helped subjugate their sea and land forces to weaken the Umayyads till Abbasids, supported by us and some other foreign forces like the Byzantines, the Pro-Turks, etc. led a revolt against the Arabs?

This is built on fundamentals and is a question not purely speculation but rather just a framework for a future research paper proposal. If there are data points and experts who can verify this, we have a chance at finding the source of Hindu hatred in historical Islam to be more than just connected to Iconoclasm but a deep seated superiority led inferiority complex like the Vishwa Guru types who forget fundamentals. I'm essentially saying, Abbasids and their Caliphate Vishwagurued their history to build the structure for justification of future invasions. Just Iconoclasm is too dumb for someone who was as capricious, persistent as well as dastardly and smart as Ghazni or Ghori.

We are walking into an economic meat grinder, and most of the country is completely blind to it.

If you look at the structural data of India’s economy over the last 30 years, you realize that our current crisis—stagnant wages, the AI threat, massive youth unemployment, and the engineering/medical glut—isn't an accident. It is the direct result of Congress’s historical elitism and disdain for manufacturing, perfectly combined with the current BJP’s political apathy and capitulation on structural reforms.

Here are 20 points explaining exactly how we got here, and why the "India Rising" narrative is hiding a massive structural rot.

The Educational & Structural Rot

1. The Original Sin of Top-Down Education: Congress built a system that prioritized elite higher education (IITs, IIMs, Central Universities) while entirely neglecting mass primary schooling. China secured universal basic literacy first, then built factories. We built ivory towers for the top 1%, leaving the masses unemployable.

2. The "Degree Disease": The University Grants Commission (UGC) morphed into a monster that made low-quality B.A. and B.Sc. degrees the societal default. Decades of policy convinced Indians that a useless college degree holds more dignity than a highly paid technical skill.

3. The Missing Middle: Because of this top-down approach, India developed a bipolar workforce: a highly skilled, English-speaking IT class at the top, and millions of unskilled agricultural laborers at the bottom. We completely failed to build the semi-skilled "middle class" required to dominate global manufacturing.

4. Vocational Starvation: China operates over 500,000 Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions. India has a pathetic ~5,100 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). Nearly 25% of Chinese youth enroll in vocational paths; in India, it’s 2%. The BJP has shown utter dispassion toward scaling this up to a war-footing level.

5. Outdated and Siloed Skills: Chinese vocational schools train youth in over 1,500 distinct skills (robotics, advanced CNC) and are directly funded by local factories so graduates are plug-and-play. Indian ITIs are bureaucratic silos teaching around 170 outdated legacy skills with zero connection to modern industry demands.

6. Baseline Literacy Failure: You cannot train a 12th-pass student to operate a complex CNC machine if they lack foundational math and reading comprehension. Our rural schools are so poorly run that millions graduate functionally illiterate, locking them out of advanced factory work.

7. The Higher-Ed Hollow Out: Even as we blindly push youth into colleges, the institutions are dead inside. Nearly 30% of teaching posts in India's central universities sit vacant. We are mass-producing credentialed youth who possess neither academic excellence nor employable skills.

The Professional Squeeze

8. Commoditization of Engineers: By allowing private trusts to treat engineering colleges like real estate ventures, we artificially flooded the market. Unregulated mass-production of tech workers allowed IT firms to freeze entry-level wages for two decades, destroying the ROI for the average engineer.

9. The Medical Pyramid Trap: In medicine, the regulatory bodies created a brutal bottleneck. By aggressively expanding undergraduate MBBS seats while keeping postgraduate (PG) seats artificially scarce, they trapped junior doctors in a vicious cycle of low-paying residencies and hyper-competitive urban congestion that crashes their wages.

10. AI and the End of the "Services Leak": The Manmohan Singh-era economic thesis relied entirely on IT services to capture Western wealth and fund domestic consumption. Now, the US is using Generative AI to automate those very services. They are plugging the money leak, and our primary engine of middle-class wealth is about to be decapitated.

11. The Leverage Illusion: We cannot force US tech giants to "transfer" their AI models to Indian data centers because we don't control the silicon. The US controls the Nvidia/GPU supply chain. Without sovereign compute capabilities, we have zero leverage.

The Political Failures (Congress & BJP)

12. Congress's Denigration of the Employer: For decades, Congress’s socialist hangover treated factory owners and industrialists as exploitative villains. Their draconian labor laws and "License Raj" mentality made it legally terrifying to hire workers at scale, actively discouraging the establishment of mega-factories.

13. BJP's Capitulation on Reforms: The BJP had the political mandate to fix this. The 2021 Farm and Labor laws were the exact medicine needed to transition millions of underemployed farmers into low-cost manufacturing (the Asian Tiger model). Instead, faced with protests, the BJP caved. Political survival took precedence over national industrialization.

14. The "Revdi" (Freebie) Crutch: Because we failed to create a manufacturing sector to absorb the youth, both the BJP and the opposition are now entirely dependent on welfare handouts. Free grain and cash transfers are just desperate safety valves to keep the unemployed bottom 70% from rioting.

15. The Forex & Oil Trap: Why isn't the government heavily subsidizing domestic AI or semiconductor infrastructure? Because they are burning through our foreign exchange reserves just to buy oil futures at a premium. They are desperately trying to keep petrol below ₹150/liter to prevent a total inflation collapse. The treasury is tied up firefighting.

The Macro Reality

16. Geopolitical Sabotage: As the US, China, and Russia engage in a resource and technological proxy war, India is targeted by foreign bot networks (often operating out of Pakistan and rewarded by US tech apathy) to constantly destabilize our internal social cohesion, ensuring we remain too distracted to build infrastructure.

17. The TFR Timebomb: The biggest lie is that our population is our strength forever. Our Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is already dropping due to baseline urbanization. The goal of industrialization was to get rich before we got old. Because we stalled the manufacturing transition, our demographic dividend is expiring, and we will age into poverty.

18. Cultural Stigma Against Labor: Across the political spectrum, we have failed to give dignity of labor to the working class. Society still views a highly skilled welder as a "failure," while a jobless youth holding a third-tier MBA is treated with respect. This cultural rot kills any grassroots manufacturing push.

19. A Bipartisan Apathy: Congress actively sabotaged the dignity of the industrial employer and the blue-collar worker to champion the "intelligentsia." The BJP, while claiming to be pro-business, shows a chilling dispassion for the structural heavy lifting required to actually build a vocational workforce, preferring the easy optics of digital infrastructure.

20. The Individual Solution: The state cannot and will not save you. The autarkic, inflationary world of the 2030s will heavily punish generic white-collar degrees. The only intelligent move for the next generation is to abandon the UGC rat race, homeschool the basics, and master hard, tactile vocational skills (advanced machining, welding, electronics) alongside digital fluency.

We missed the manufacturing bus, and now AI is driving the services bus off a cliff. Act accordingly.

Bhai chahte kya ho? Itna hi US se dikkat hai, toh kyun unke diye hue tools use kar rahe ho. Aur ek aur baat. Aaj India ki ma behn jo AI kar rahi hai, usko rokne ke liye Farm Laws aur land reforms ke saath, labour reforms ke proposal laye the. Dharna aur naka bandi aur riot kar kar ke jo leftists ne iss desh ki gaand mari hai Services Led Economic Socialism ne, aaj ussika fal mil raha hai.

Reddit mods in Indian subs are Pakistanis, Its the same in Instagram with bots, literally, any avenue to operate for India is being attack and Pakistan is being rewarded by USA, in the form of private deals for their billionaire class while the commons suffer openly.

You think our corruption is bad. Remember they literally had a Queen From Junagadh who SAed a young maid for years before one time, she did something that killed the maid of shock. The police at that time where still honest and caught her and brought evidence which would have led to death penalty for anyone else. But, for her it was simply, 10 rupees fine and a day in jail in early 1950s. Do you know the precedent that was given by the judge. The leniency was due to excellent service to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Guess what was the excellent service. Almost 1 billion dollars worth of treasury of Junagadh was taken from India to Pakistan and for that they had been subsidized by the state.

Petulance. That's what Pakistan rewards. Today they have become a mercenary for hire on the internet when earlier they where on ground and are playing pressure tactics with Trump to weaken India and China. Not that China is our friend but today the 4 most powerful nations in PPP terms are secretly fighting a major war via Iran and Israel as proxies. China and India whop are cut throat enemies are supporting Iran's populace while doing wink wink nudge nudge business with their people. Similarly, Russia is openly supporting Iran and US is using all the enemies of Iran.

US's goal is they see both India and China for what they are. India used services to take almost 10 trillion worth of value in services , China created 19 trillion worth of value in manufactured goods from 4 trillion worth of value goods of Russia. In all this Europe and US got impoverished in ppp terms. Which mean the poor of Europe and US started to increase as well as suffer. Now they are at a breaking point, so they are using oil to take the money back. A resource based economic capture and value elimination.

We have been burning through our reserves to prevent you idiot from panicking and the government is refusing to increase oil prices.

If they don't soon, we will be bankrupt. Cause the inflation storm at 150 rupees per litre is far worse than at 125 rupees per litre. Sabko samaj nahi aa raha ki reserves are close to depletion. And we buy oil in futures like any other country. It was efficient till there was a lack of supply. Now, Oil futures are trading at 20-25% premium akin to RTX Nvidia Cards. And we bought as much as we could earlier. So, I don't understand how people can think that there's no problem coming. Are you dumb? And every government would fail here. US has fucked us all totally. They can't be defeated unless we don't literally, do a decapitation strike like they did in Iran. They are crazy as they understand the finances here and still are ready to let the world burn.

Take a shitty Narcos Mexico analogy here, a crude one if you will: US is literally, Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo. China is like Tijuana, Russia is like Gulf Cartel and India is like Amado and the Juarez Cartel. Sure, we are allies with US. But, fuck they have been screwing us over for a while using whatever possible. Sylmar is going to be the AI IPOs in a few months. When it happens and I promise it will, Sylmar will break the donkey's back but unless there's nobody to be an Amado and stand up together to the madness of Felix, we are cooked. The future is an economic war between China, Russia and India. All other players don't have the resources to fight this. And you the citizens will be the casualties of this nonsense. Smart move is to leave for countries which are safe.

Iss Desh ko koi nahi bacha sakta aur bacha bhi nahi chahiye. It needs this transitions from services led economics to manufacturing led domestic consumption. Humara purana theory yeh tha ki supply chains will be efficient, services will create wealth and domestic consumption can be restricted to just essentials, with some segments aka us who are earning enough to own devices will be able to buy capital and revenue machines at premium while the rest of the country gets the ppp advantages. This was a Congress era, Manmohan Singh's thesis based economics. It wasn't bad till America got AI. Since, then they have found a way to stop 1 leak of money aka services. The moment they solve the issues with vision for AI, I bet that the next innovation will be manufacturing AI. Once, that comes unless we don't have 2-3 kids, our generations will be cooked.

The only way out is to stop wasting time on traditional education. Do homeschooling till 12th. Then join ITI and learn soldering, mechanical skills, welding and at the same time do any online degree. Manufacturing jobs will rise around the world as nobody wants China to control their stuff. This will make African continent much richer than you imagine as nor US, nor Europe will be in any capacity to dictate nor artificially deflate prices. China is trying but they will learn a nasty lesson in 2040s in Africa. Our best hope is we negotiate the best deals, start domestic quality manufacturing which can build goods for 10 years or more and servitize it to consumers to reduce costs.

Autarkic insulated leaderships, will only see rise in demand without counter party risk reducers to handle supply side cost cutting. Essentially we will see worldwide at least 60-70% inflation over the next 3 years. That's enough to collapse any government.

I got this for 1.325 post all discounts in April excluding the 15k extra I got for the Credit Card and I will be getting another 27-28k as 18% GST rebate.

Was this the best I could get or was there a laptop which is better for the same price. I know the battery is an issue even with conservation mode but, it works great, games go well and I find it easy to use.
