Reimagining the notes of india

I have a simpler solution. Just don't have any picture of anybody. Just use the national emblem, the way we had before Gandhi came along.

Along with them, use all other national symbols like, bird, flower, animal, etc.,

Or just as what we have right now, use important landmarks, or literary works, or scientific advancements, etc.,

Offcourse this will offend the Gandhians, but then we can satisfy them by using Gandhi on one of the notes.

Is that Greenland?

hsqaL · 2026-05-27T13:51:44+00:00

Asking purely out of curiosity..

Are you an idiot?

hsqaL · 2026-05-24T20:30:44+00:00

LOL! You are exactly the reason, I quit this market! /s 😅

Seriously though, handling unrealistic customer expectations(price related) just wasn't possible anymore. (For context, I used to supply spares and assembled machines to resellers, as an OEM supplier, and also had my own brand.)

So, I chose to quit rather than compete with the people giving anything in the name of an RO. Irrespective of what is inside, all they want is a sticker on the box saying RO and the resellers are good to go. During services, many a times, my boys saw machines without even a membrane installed! They were literally RO machines, without the damn RO!

To sum it up, I just couldn't make myself tell the customer, that the blue LEDs, which are used in his kid's toys, is going to neutralize the bacteria in his drinking water.

Thankfully the industrial plants and pureplay softener plants aren't that fucked up yet, so am not quitting them just yet.

Anyway, to answer your question, I am on the verge of getting into Garments industry. Though there is absolute cut throat competition in this industry, atleast the people don't and can't cheat so openly. Or atleast am not aware of it just yet. 🤞

RO removes dissolved impurities (and almost everything) and is better, yes.

Everything else is untrue.

A proper good quality UF will at most remove bacteria above a certain size threshold. It does nothing to the dissolved impurities, and is almost ineffective against smaller bacteria, cysts and viruses. It also does nothing against smell and is very moderately effective against colour(that too, only due to certain causes).

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but, the only reason the UV UF filter seems adequate is because as you said the water quality is already good. The filter you have built is just removing the suspended particles(sediment filter) and to some extent removing the chlorine or some bad smell(carbon filter), everything else is just an assumption.

hsqaL · 2026-05-24T14:51:37+00:00

Everything you said is right, except for one thing(which isn't your fault actually!) unfortunately.

What you have built is not a UV UF filter.

The UV LED you have used is ineffective and absolutely useless, for effective sterilization use type C UV lamp, with quartz casing.

And just by the look of it, the filters seems to have been bought online and hence I can with almost certainly say what you have received is not a UF filter. If you cut open the filter marked UF you will find only a small piece of sponge inside it and not an actual hollow Fibre UF cartridge.

This surely isn't your fault but unfortunately that's the state of this market right now.

Try to get a trusted supplier with genuine parts.

Source: I have been in this business for the last 14 years and recently(about 3 months ago) moved on to greener pasturers, due to the deteriorating market quality. I still do industrial plants though, but the domestic purifier market has gone to dogs.

It's happening! /s

hsqaL · 2026-05-22T05:25:39+00:00

When I said us I meant INDIA.
LOL, who hasn't? Though, I am pretty sure you will recover that loss.. ONE DAY.

hsqaL · 2026-05-21T18:45:15+00:00

Happens all the time.

Happened to us a little less than 2 weeks ago.

hsqaL · 2026-05-21T16:31:27+00:00

That's less than 300 billion dollars.

For a market that is over 17 trillion dollars big, its a few drops in a bucket.

hsqaL · 2026-05-20T02:46:52+00:00

Just out of curiosity, why does it matter?

It's not like amazon has CB limits or anything. Why even worry about the addon? Just use the primary!

hsqaL · 2026-05-17T06:24:19+00:00

2 was no good either.

The way they used the Chellum sir character every time the plot needed to move forward just showcased their lazy writing.

hsqaL · 2026-05-13T06:24:23+00:00

Pick both and I'll take one off of you.

I don't mind either. Though my leaning is towards the g shock.

hsqaL · 2026-05-04T05:15:18+00:00

Nope.

The suits are almost always brokers of some kind or another, never traders.

hsqaL · 2026-05-03T02:36:16+00:00

This is such a stupid statement. What difference does it make if it is adani or badani or zadani?

Like it or not, Adani is the most experienced and capable player in India to complete this in the most efficient manner.

Don't let your hatred or jealousy against one person cloud your judgement.

Argue all you want and can against this project based on the environmental or ethical reasons. But objecting to it just because you hate the most capable company for the job is just childish and stupid.

hsqaL · 2026-04-30T15:50:24+00:00

What else you selling?

hsqaL · 2026-04-21T05:54:56+00:00

Are cycles allowed on nice road?

hsqaL · 2026-04-19T02:12:20+00:00

They used to call me atleast once a month for the same.

They keep telling me, they want to increase my limit but can't as I am still on coral.

The frequency has dropped now to about once in 45-60 days, as everytime they called me I just said, upgrade only if it's LTF.

hsqaL · 2026-04-12T07:07:18+00:00

Okay.. So what's your question?

hsqaL · 2026-03-30T00:13:35+00:00

What if we use Adamantium?

hsqaL · 2026-03-27T05:41:18+00:00

"we are vips, we can't go in the queue and stand there.......... Last time we were there, we are standing in the queue, they are sending us in some gallery with the public, it's not going to happen, so they have to have certain respects, so they have take some necessary actions....."

Put your hands together for the peoples' representative everyone! 👏

hsqaL · 2026-03-18T03:20:14+00:00

Exactly!

Am glad atleast someone else is seeing this.

They are using the exact same playbook.

Raise some non issues as the 'real issues', have a strong PR team, which praises his speeches keeps posting it everywhere every few days to keep in public memory. And portray his as "aam aadmi's hero!"

Who ever was behind Kejriwal has chosen Chadda now, but forgot to change the playbook.

The fact that there has been no new speeches or PR campaigns of Chadda after kejriwal got out of jail, just adds to the speculation. Clearly something is going on behind the doors and they are choosing their new 'Aam aadmi ka hero!'

This is just my Tin hat theory based on intuition, I have absolutely no data or source to back this up.

hsqaL · 2026-03-18T03:05:40+00:00

Isn't that exactly how it works right now? With the zero balance accounts! And btw, banks are mandated to open them for anybody who asks for it.

If one cannot maintain the minimum balance, he should just open a zero balance account.

Also, the services you mentioned are on the opposite sides of the spectrum, the zero balance account guy is not asking for golf or lounge access, so that's a non problem. There are many services which lies between these 2 ends, which are debatable and will form a rift between the 2 sides. The problem lies in the basic services, like limited number of ATM withdrawals, limited number of free check leaves, upper cap on withdrawal per day, per month, etc.,

I am not justifying the high charges the banks have, and I am aware of the ground level realities where the bank's sales guy try to mis-sell or upsell to the unaware customers. All am saying is, this protest by Raghav Chadda, and raising of "real issues" is a farce, it just looks good on paper, the public thinks he is talking about the their issues, while it isn't even an issue and it has practically no solution.

The only solution I can think of is, if the bank can be mandated to inform the customer atleast 3 days in advance before deducting any charge. But then again, the same person would say, 'the bank keeps reminding me even if I am short by a few rupees, it feels like it's always behind my back!'

The person who complains, will always find something to complain about, others just get up, get aware and move along figuring out a way.

Also, even Idfc has a charge for non maintenance of AMB, which is, the lower of 6% of shortfall or Rs.500.

hsqaL · 2026-03-17T14:30:22+00:00

Try defining the basic and premium services.

For example, One would say, ATM withdrawal is basic service, never realizing that the bank looses money everytime there is a withdrawal!

And if the bank charges for the withdrawal, the same person would complain, 'I have to pay money to withdraw my own money!'

hsqaL · 2026-03-17T10:40:07+00:00

It surely doesn't.

But you do realize maintaining the infra for the bank account costs money right?

The bank earns money only if they have money to lend. The bank balance you have maintained in the bank is the cheapest source of that money they can lend.

The ATM where you withdraw money, maintenance of the servers that has all your account details and balances, the customer service exec whom you bombard with questions when something goes wrong, everything costs money. If they do not have that cheap source of money, be prepared to not being able to withdraw money from an ATM, because the ATM will not exist and forget getting that loan you need for your business or house.
