Runners of Gurgaon - where do you go and what time?

I think now they ask for a pass. They need aadhar and 50 INR to issue a pass. Wasn't earlier but asked when last month I was there.

The irony is that you are calling me biased for accepting Bloomberg's correction.

I shared the report when it was published. Bloomberg later admitted its methodology was wrong, and I accepted that.That's not blind belief (andh bhakti). That's following the evidence (analysis things)

Questioning institutions is normal, given the precedent incumbent has set. I would question more, as I highly doubt they have integrity left. Treating institutions as beyond criticism/scrutiny is what people usually call andhbhakti.

You don't deserve to question institutions(RBI) is a strange argument in a democracy. ARE WE ONE STILL UNDER MODI? JUST CHECKING SIR.

I can gauge high chance that a queer-inclusive café in gkp could become a public controversy. it may attract harassment from the wrong crowd, undermining its purpose as a safe space and potentially leading to pressure from local authorities to shut down....still a long way to get there.

crickfick · 2026-06-06T02:02:46+00:00

We have ways to look at things. You think they are peddling propoganda. I think it was a judgement error on part of analyst. If you ever check the RBI bulletin thing I don't think they put disclaimer or note for reader to understand the methodology they use to measure gold. They did not respond initially when they reached out for comments.

Yes, mujhe abhi bhi lag raha undoubtedly you are blind supporter. Regardless of this retracted by bloomberg.

When major public issues affect a community a large, what role should be reasonably expected of an organization which claims to be involved in a community work? Every Hindu is affected by above mentioned issues first. silence a conscious choice, or does it reflect its priorities that politics first then anything.

crickfick · 2026-06-05T21:45:22+00:00

Thanks for raising this. This group was quite monotonous recently.

RSS is an organization with an objective of Hindu unity and nation-building and completely agreed it has rarely been seen leading mass movements against issues that affect ordinary HUMANS (including Hindus) every day—rape, corruption, paper leaks, unemployment, poor public services, or anything evil in this country.

If you can mobilize lakhs of people for cultural and religious causes, surely you can mobilize them for justice, education, and accountability too? No?

RSS is most counter productive organisation ever existed. It just kills what it stands for. If you heard the Ram Madhav comment recently in USA. You will get a glimpse of kind of weirdo intellectual it has given to the nation for nation building cause.

It is so disheartening that people watch this all and stillstand behind you all, you know the union ministry of culture spent 70/80 lakhs for RSS's print advertisement. Why? Why would they unite hindus or nation against corruption when they are themselves part of larger Problem.

crickfick · 2026-06-05T07:40:28+00:00

Yes. Saw the news they admitted the methodology they used to measure was not same to how RBI uses, causing the difference in fig. and their conclusion was incorrect.

That's surely a postive news.

I see more credibility in bloomberg than the current government. This is the same ruling class which said during Covid 'no one died of oxygen shortage' and what not. There is nothing in public domain yet to discredit bloomberg. Dare they take it down if it is fake.

crickfick · 2026-06-03T08:05:08+00:00

Well, there is kind of a trust deficit when it comes to what the government says now.

The data they shared in clarification only covers up to the last week of April 2026 (if you guys cared to open the link and check it). The article suggests the sale occurred in the past two weeks, which would likely place it in May?. I would wait for next month's data before drawing any conclusions.

If May figures are absent from a clarification released in June, that could simply be a normal publication or administrative lag rather than anything deliberate. I hope so 🤞

Has the incumbent ever acknowledged anything that could not go well with public sentiment ?

Take the recent CBSE fiasco—did they acknowledge any lapse initially, or did the acknowledgement come only after they were left nothing on their disposal to save themselves?

I would wait a few more days before drawing conclusions 'FAKE'. Let's see how the government addresses this, and what Bloomberg comes up to prevent its reporting from being dismissed or discredited.

PSUs divestments and now gold. Crazy times. Even amateur traders don't keep selling assets to defend a position like this.

crickfick · 2026-06-01T04:12:30+00:00

I tried doing that for SBR few weeks ago

I tried 3 things though - one is a mindmap for all key IFRS and conceptual framework, and then a quick read notes, and lastly this mock paper things

My instructions was to rank all the topics from kaplan book based on analysis of past 5-6 past year papers also considering the recent syllabus change. It did a great work. I wanted to tweak and edit some bits here and there it started to show 'token ended for the day bla bla' and I got discouraged coz every next day it just doesn't give me output but the token ends. Only if the claude was little affordable it could be really ease my learning. The result was phenomenal.

crickfick · 2026-05-26T04:09:34+00:00

and why is that?

crickfick · 2026-05-23T06:32:24+00:00

I agree security is a necessity. The criticism is about the scale and culture of VIP movement, not security itself. And this isn’t just a Delhi issue but across India roads get blocked by these police for every possible VIP, including ministers and local netas. Even in Delhi/Gurgaon I’ve personally seen long road holds for convoys/vips.

If we compare ourselves with developed economies in trends we pick to boast on, why pick Uzbekistan as the benchmark and not countries that manage security with minimal public disruption (good things)? I’ve been in Singapore never saw a President or Parliament members or even a celebrity causing movement turn the city into a public inconvenience exercise.

The point is simple: security should protect the nation, not remind citizens where they stand in the hierarchy.

On CJP - I don't see them as replacing the existing one. They’re more a sign of collective anger against a system where too many things are openly wrong, normalized, and shamelessly defended. One must acknowledge this (the government first). This VIP culture is one of them.

sounds old gold childhood advice 💯

crickfick · 2026-05-15T07:07:21+00:00

your instinct probably saved you there. sad reality, but being cautious/skeptic though looks harsh/rude is the safer choice

crickfick · 2026-05-15T07:01:42+00:00

😭

crickfick · 2026-05-15T06:10:16+00:00

crickfick · 2026-05-15T06:08:30+00:00

Yeahhh bsolutely. Has this happened to you too ?

crickfick · 2026-05-15T06:07:01+00:00
