washingtonpost.comIt makes my head spin that how much people belive in ‘Adhik Mas’(Extra month)
I have been to India after long time during the Adhik Mas and I never saw before that how much this superstition has grown. A friend was not applying to job because of Adhikmas. My sister in laws parents in didnt visit us because of that. People are donating food everywhere(thats good though) there is special kind of pooja in the building. Its just amazing how much people are brainwashed. Have you noticed anything like this in your surrounding?
What will be the stock market ramification if kevin warsh reduces the interest rate on Wednesday?
So there is going to be the FOMC meeting this week, and the general consensus seems to be that they’re going to hold steady. But what happens if he throws a complete curveball and cuts rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday?
Just trying to map out how you guys think the market would digest this. Does the initial pump get sold off immediately once the macro reality sets in, or is it just straight rocket ships?
How will the stock market react in near term and long term? Which sector can be benefited? What will be impact on inflation?

I went to the living room and I saw my young niece watching a song 'Radha Gori Gori'. I found the song is blatant display of colorism. We are instilling from such a young age the Gora color is better and more celebrated. What are the thoughts of general population regarding this song?
p.s. Just learned it has 157mn views so very popular song indeed.

reddit.comWould anybody explain how generally bear market happen? or Stock market bubble burst?
I am fairly noob when it comes to stock market things and I don’t have any significant investment in stocks. Recently I started following stock market more and specially after the spaceX IPO. It seems that spacex is managed to sell 75bn dollars worth of share. Moreover stock market also closed at all time high and there is a demand for tech stock all over the world.
My question if there is so much demand everywhere, how can that demand evaporate in such short amount of time when bubble burst. e.g. One day investor are willing to buy a share of xyz company for 100 dollars but next day they will get hard time to find a buyer for 70 dollars. How does this mechanics works? You can also suggest a good documentary.

Chings Chilli Oil Crisp is too spicy. Anybody else?
I just bought Chings secret chilli oil. I am used to laoganma and some other Chinese brand and I can eat spoonful. However this felt too spicy. I am good at tolerating spice. Do anybody felt similar?
Is the SpaceX 2x Oversubscribed Reuters report a fluff piece to create a FOMO, or am I misunderstanding how fast a $150B order book builds?
So like a few days ago Bloomberg reports that Jamie Dimon is hosting this huge JPMorgan simulcast thing to like 90 locations to pitch the SpaceX deal to all there rich private clients. Then less then 24 hours later Reuters drops a story citing "anonymous sources" saying the deal is already twice oversubscribed. So demand is supposedly around $150B for a $75B raise.
Maybe im reading to much into it but the sequence feels off to me. You do this massive marketing push and then almost immediately a leak comes out signaling theres overwhelming demand? Like whether its intentional or not that kind of thing creates a real sense of momentum and scarcity around a deal, specialy for people who are still on the fence about getting in.
am i being dumb here or does this look like manufactured FOMO to anyone else? Genuinely curious what people who actually know how IPO roadshows work think.
What investor is actually really excited about SpaceX IPO?
Hi,
I see two different things. First is, on CNBC and other similar documentries they are keep mentioning that there is too much excitement about spaceX IPO while other places people are worried about the IPO that everyday investor need to buy spaceX even they dont want too and saying the valuation doesnt make sense etc.
My main question is which type of investor are really excited to invest in spaceX?
Please take care of what you eat.
Just from a concerned gujarati to other gujaratis whom currently seeing suffering of a mother.
My mother has liver cirrhosis and going through a bad time and she probably not live long. Her cirrhosis reason were very much weight related. Whenever I go to see doctor with her to the gastroenterologist the clinic is filled to the capacity. After learning about health and diet, our gujarati cuisine really needs to be updated with new lifestyle. We are still eating food like we work 10 hour under sun in a field.
I dont want to suggest what to eat and what not to eat. Just do your own research and eat healthy and bring your bmi down.
How to hold myself emotionally better when trying to be care taker of sick mother?
Hello,
I am 36 year old lives in europe and diagnosed with ADHD,GAD and depression and in therapy for that. My family lives in india and I have built my life in germany. My mother is bettling liver cirrhosis for last 9 years and she is very advance stage and sad to say but she is on the clock. She has became alot more sick in last 6 month. Moreover she lives with my brother and his family and my brother do care for her but he is clinical narcissist and really opposite of empath. My father has passed away 8 years back and my mum was always dependent on him.
I have always been a good son and gave her telephonic support and now I am in india and trying to spend more time with her. However seeing her sick and bettling one thing after another is putting me in extreme stress and anxiety. I act strongly in front of her. I am going and living through anticipatory grief and guilt. Moreover i also feel guilty that If i would have took care of her she would have probably in better place. I do blame low key my brother.
How to feel strong to go pass through this stage without destroying myself completely. Last but not least i have been chronic empath whole my life and it increased significantly in last couple of years not just with my mum but with people around me, friends etc. i just embodies other people suffering, feeling and start feeling like it. Its almost feels impossible to do self care at the moment. I am jobless and have no desire of woking or finding another job or do anything. Just living a pause state of my life.
Anybody been through similar stage? What to do?

youtube.comGhee, Mishri(Sakar) and sendhalu(Sendha namak) are equally bad as Oil,Sugar and salt.
I am recently keep hearing from family and friends that Ghee is better than oil and you need to eat ghee or Sakar(rock sugar) is better than sugar and somebody mentioned oh we dont use salt we use sendha namak. Its all same in slightly different way. Just want to post it as public service announcement. We really need to teach about diet and nutrition at a mass scale in gujarat.
They make a bill of your food/tapas at the end with chalk on the table and than wipe it off in some tapas place in Seville. Location in the comment.
