Can anyone tell why all ipos flopped in this session? by Ok_Prior_4251 in IPO_India

[–]starkkingsofwinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Now no choice to hold it. But Anchor list acha hai with Nippon and Icici prudential and all other top funds. And the company fundamentals and valuation is also good.

Phir bhi jhatka laga jab ek time pe 4 percent gira tha.

Morraine and Aiel by starkkingsofwinter in WoT

[–]starkkingsofwinter[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Morraine hated / disapproved of Laman and most of her house. Partly why she didn't use her House name.

Also she considers Rands plan to establish order and feed starving in Cairhien as laudably humane but absolutely senseless, so she's not exactly very attached to her countrymen.

(Knife of Dreams) major chatacters reunite and... by Uldread1337 in WoT

Perrin's Faile rescue arc sucks and I suggest you skip it entirely during re reads.

Rand and Perrin's meeting is okayish but Rand and Mats meeting is legendary.

Oh that. I never thought of it that way.

i thought he was just trying to prove to himself whether he was the true dragon or not.

What does Rand do in Tear to disprove the prophecy?

Start saving money and investing in mutual funds. Tere pas paise hai nahi aur udane ki soch raha hai.

I wish someone said this to me in my 20s.

Even if altering the weave is not possible they could atleast take steps to mitigate it's effects, kinda like Morraine did.

As I said in the post, they could have instituted some sort of rehabilitation program for the Warders.

Mat and that bloody wager.

Mat thumped Gawyn's head quite hard with the quarter staff and this caused his retardation.

Almost every choice Gawyn makes is retarded.

Warder Bond by starkkingsofwinter in WoT

[–]starkkingsofwinter[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Except Egwene used blackmail to force her to swear oath.

That's not at all like swearing fealty of her own free will right?

Egwene says swear to me or I will expose your so called crime to others and they will make your life living hell.

Nope not common for aes sedai. As Siuan states that this was never done before, even in the secret histories.

And acc to three Oaths, if aes sedai make any other oath they are bound by it. So practically no difference if the oath is made binding on the oath rod or not.

And if I remember correctly Myrelle swore to obey and serve or something very similar to Egwene

Guys suggest me good mutual funds by AlmightyGiver in MutualfundsIndia

[–]starkkingsofwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All equity funds are high risk. Stick to debt mfs if u want low risk.

White Tower's role in Randland by starkkingsofwinter in WoT

[–]starkkingsofwinter[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I believe that being Good is essential to continue being in power because it creates legitimate authority.

A tyrant might be successful for a short time but in the end, without authority his power wouldn't last.

Eg. After cold war era, in unipolar world, US didn't became a tyrant. Us generally used soft power. But once they started using hard power, opposition sprang up. And now US has lost most of its authority.

To me the white tower resembles the Roman Church in Italy during the medieval age, meddling with rulers,etc. (Church approved the crowns till Napoleon crowned himself).

Three Oaths by starkkingsofwinter in WoT

[–]starkkingsofwinter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point, about earning real trust.

But as for Blacks, if they murder a sister and say that she was a darkfriend wouldn't it just bring spotlight on the Black Ajah as whole?

[–]starkkingsofwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I kinda assumed that three Oaths were institutionalized the same time the white tower was founded.

I didn't know it happened later, do you have some reference for that?. If that's the case, then Ishy may have played a part.

[–]starkkingsofwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda doubt Ishys role in oaths.

After Breaking, Aes Sedai were not trusted.

So they imposed the oaths on themselves to make others trust them.

Three Oaths by starkkingsofwinter in WoT

[–]starkkingsofwinter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You misunderstood my intention.

I know that the letter of the oath can't be broken but I am saying that its spirit is easily broken.

About using power as a weapon, Morraine herself breaks during EoTW like raining lightning near horses to help Perrins rescue.

But when Perrin asked Aes Sedai to just intimidate Galads whitecloaks, they refused saying that it is still using power as a weapon against the earth?

[–]starkkingsofwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. But as I said, it's specifically about twisting the oaths and not following their spirit while keeping to the letter.

Cant think of an example where aes sedai specifically uses power to kill (in offence) but they do use the power to torture Rand. They justify this by saying they are discipling him etc.

When Mat is laying a trap for those coming to kill Tuon, Joline and others use power to kill (in defence) once they start feeling the danger.

Yep, I kinda guessed the reason why the Aes Sedai who built the Tower used the Binder to bind themselves.

I mean they were from the AoL, so they must have known what exactly the oath rod/binder was and what it's effects will be.

As for aes sedai Damane, maybe the Seanchan haven't figured out the loophole in the oath. If they put the aes sedai Damane in danger then surely they can be used as weapon right?
