Now to you Pranay, I have my people back in Bangalore (almost every third Indian will have someone in Bangalore ) and I am sharing with them the Nandini story, or the whole post this time. I did not know Nandini was State-owned and this is all so TIL to me.
After reading your bit, I am interested to know what has lead to Pillsbury and Ashirvaad atta stocks not appearing on the UAE stalls for a few months now. How does one go about understanding and digging out on these issues? There is no import or export ban on Indian atta (peacock brand from India and others are still available in UAE) not does googling on Pillsbury or their press explainers(none!) or anything help. Now I am curious!
If I ever dig this up, I will surely let you know. Though I am sure someone else will or I will never be able to dig out the info.
I finally started reading this subsctack and RSJ, I started when you discussed about the stability of banks and should see how our Indian banks will handle the possible interest rate hike. I so confidently croaked your prediction of banks being stable this time around to my friend referring you (but they conveniently forgot my source and I your disclaimer about probability) the next events of SVB unfolding and your very nice explainer refreshed my memory about how you explained the reasoning , but, well, my friend only focussed on 'issnein kaha bank nahi dubenge, per ye dekh' :-D. There is so much nuance in the way you explained it all and later what went wrong with SVB that I wish I could have had this ability to rephrase you the way you wrote. I could simply have shared the link to your post, but I know that they won't read (eyeclosed emoji ).
Thank you for doing what you are doing. And for this hum saath saath hai analogy :-D
On a slightly unrelated note, are some state governments using tax-money to provide cow shelters?
