So according to him: the expenses are not rising, you are just failing to manage your budget 😂 Even if: School fee, electricity, grocery -- everything goes up by 20%, people should not speak. And, should simply learn how to manage their budget better.

My friend runs a local bakery in Goa. He accepts only CASH. No UPI/CC/Debit Card-- nothing! Logic: if he accepts anything in 'white', he will pay around 20% tax. On top of this, he would have to have an employee to manage his finance, go to a CA--- this would easily add up…

A major report is accusing one of India's biggest conglomerates. This has the potential to derail our stock markets quite significantly. And, sink with it lakhs of retail investors. And, the news is not even trending.

Adani is not stock market. And, stock market is not Adani. Indian Markets have given 0% returns in the last 1.5 years. Another year or two of poor returns, there will be mass exodus of investors. Government can't let that happen.
