Neither https://t.co/00NDYv81XX nor https://t.co/3tPOCsz4Yf are swadeshi!!

Friends, not everyone is technical and we Indians are very fragile to fall into the trap when people whom we trust mislead you.

I'll be proving this in the thread and will guide you to check it yourself.

 Open https://t.co/LTrVdSOQHw in any browser and hit F12 on your keyboard, it will open DevTools (you can adjust it in right half or below half or the screen). Go to Network tab in the DevTool and click any of the column header and enable Domain and Remote Address if they are not.
Now you can scroll up and down and check what connections are made, and they are basically 2 except some libraries and fonts.

1. https://t.co/LTrVdSOQHw (109.73.160.221)
2. https://t.co/SOFzVJWNdC (52.219.133.12)

Let's now find out with these IPs where they're hosted...
Any whois service can give us details about their owners. Open https://t.co/xD8mnE2YKr (or any you like) and search these IPs.

1. https://t.co/JsCSIfeH6Q
2. https://t.co/JXjPuBoQBM

First one is a RIPE IP and second one is ARIN, European and American IP network respectively.
Now, let's find on RIPE and ARIN who really owns them.

1. https://t.co/kTgtVCnRkg

2. https://t.co/4wxWQhyMEN

They are owned by HostDime UK and Amazon Technologies USA.

Note that the Asian(Handling IP for India) counterpart of these are APNIC.
This basically proves that other than the ".in" domain, there is nothing Indian about this. Now, let's check who owns this domain.

Open https://t.co/DVCjdBvhQL in a new tab and search https://t.co/LTrVdSOQHw after completing captcha there.

Results is kind of shocking to me...
Not only that there are many Swadeshi domain registrars still GoDaddy US is the registrar, but owner information is hidden for privacy.

Last when I read .in domains don't allow private/hidden whois, which I need to reconfirm as I am not up-to-date on policies since a few years.
1. You must not trust any domain which has hidden owner records with your personal data.

2. Is it bad to operate like this? NO. But claiming Swadeshi is almost a crime unless they change this and they don't keep the data within Indian borders.

3. Owners of all the data are ...
... HostDime UK/US or Amazon AWS US and they are hosted in Europe and USA respectively.

These orgs are known to share data with govt when asked to and can shut down when they don't like it (remember Parler on AWS)?
Now let's come to https://t.co/9oisFqNT51, open it in a tab and open DevTools with F12 as you did before and note the domain and IP. It is basically accessing only one domain on one server.

1. https://t.co/9oisFqNT51 (64.225.84.69)

Let's find out where this IP is hosted...
1. https://t.co/HG71L5vlK2

This is an ARIN IP and owned by DigitalOcean US. Let's confirm this with ARIN for clarity

1. https://t.co/kGTTvD3jUC

Yes, DigitalOcean US, 100% confirmed with address/email and phone. Remember Indian IP would be under APNIC.
Again, this proves non of the data belongs to Indian servers, they are all hosted in USA and there is nothing except the ".in" is Indian here too. Let's check the domain owner.

Open https://t.co/DVCjdBvhQL and query https://t.co/9oisFqNT51.

Shocking indeed...
Again, Hidden/Private WHOIS record and the domain is registered with Key-Systems GmbH, Germany for a change.

Wow for people like @nanda8tooter who claim SWADESHI with all this - https://t.co/BPZfLMDbzW

Also, https://t.co/PvLGUy1ILn it's clear this is just a clone of gab-social
Finally, please enlighten me what is "SWADESHI" about these fraudulent people making mockery of India and fooling people here in the name of Making in India.

If anyone has anything to add or prove me wrong, this is open for discussion. Thanks

Most elite Indians (primarily savarna white collar urban english medium educated folks like me) land on Western shores convinced that we are just as advanced and developed as these countries as a people. It's just "corruption" in India holding us back. Then reality hits. /1

We see that the West works better on a daily level, but not because of some mythical genetic or societal immunity to this mythical "corruption" villain. Cos there is corruption in Western politics too. They seem to have institutions and systems built over ages to minimize it.

But most Indians who reach these shores are engineer/mba/doctor types. Trained in secondary vocational type disciplines. So our default approach is to find a quick engineering type solution. We have almost zero exposure to sociology, psychology, economics, anthropology, etc.

I remember being like that. Engineer-MBA who thought that because my vocabulary and exposition skills were above average and my quant skills were above average, I deserve a seat at the table on any discussion. Be it climate change, public health, efficacy of vaccines, etc.

For anything, I thought I knew the best. Why was this Obama fellow not trying my absolutely brilliant healthcare reform plan that I have posted on a blog with nice tables and graphs and references to IIT and IIM slang? Does he not know I'm from an IIM? <1% acceptance rate!

#AsalBharat - How Sanatan Dharma brings out heroes even Avengers may not match up with -


Today is the day when in 1923, a braveheart took birth in the home of Dr. Amarnath Sharma, an officer in the Armed Medical Corps of the then British Indian Army. He was not extremely studious, but was brilliant at sports and other physical activities.

He followed into the footsteps of his illustrious family, and joined the British Indian Army as a 2nd Lieutenant, right into the middle of World War II. Later on, he would gain name by fighting against all odds at Badgam in November 1947, getting martyred when he was only 24.

This was Major Somnath Sharma, the first recipient of India's highest gallantry award, the Param Vir Chakra. But did you know that the medal was designed by his own brother's mother in law? -


Yes, call it a twist of irony, or sheer coincidence, but the Param Vir Chakra was actually designed by the mother in law of Major Somnath Sharma's brother, whose name was Savitri Bai Khanolkar. Even more interesting is the fact she was not a Bharatiya by birth either -

A short story:

In Nov 2018, a man from UP’s Shamli named Saleem gave an affidavit in local court that he and his family were changing religion. News leaked in local media and became national news. I also visited him and wrote a report +

Saleem was born in Hindu Jat family and named Susheel. He was left orphaned at 8. One Mohd Sabdar picked him from streets and took him in as assistant in his transport business. Sabdar changed his name to Saleem and even got him circumcised as Islamic ritual +

When he turned 15, Sabdar got him married to Wajida. As Saleem grew independent, he left Sabdar & began to work for another transporter, a Punjabi Hindu. Susheel told me Sabdar never paid him a salary

In 2018 when he was 31, he decided to revert to his original name and faith +

Wajida supported him. Things were fine till her father Israel arrived from Jharkhand. He tried to change Saleem’s mind. When he remained adamant, Israel brainwashed Wajida into leaving him. When Saleem went for a tour, Israel quietly took Wajida and their 5 kids to Jharkhand +

Saleem immediately went to Jharkhand on his return. Israel asked him to read kalma again and serve Tablighi Jamaat for 40 days as penance. Saleem refused. He did not have Wajida’s support anymore.

On 16 Jan, he sent me a Whatsapp video saying he was ready to commit suicide +

Kangana's malady: An acute case of a right wing afflicted
===============================
I really feel sad for this lady. But it exposes a critical problem of a right wing mind. Of a life lived comparing.
Since she is in arts field. Let's take music which has distinct classes of

music e.g. Western classic or Hindustani/Carnatic Classical. A virtuoso in any one of these music forms will not seek to denigrate or compare one art against another. Actually, a good classical artiste won't even denigrate folk music. It is equally as hard to compose a great

bhakti poetry as it is to compose a spiritual shloka. One can find something mystical in both.
Art is really about losing oneself - An exploration melting into knowledge and finally into empathy and union. As you grow in an art form, you lose your identity even as humility grows.

You start seeing beauty all around. A great saint in one religion sees greatness in another religion too. Such a person is indeed a virtuoso.
The problem with a right wing mind is that it needs control and a sense of power. They resemble the angry executives who populate our

corporate office hiding their incompetence behind arrogance and anger. That's the cowardice that Mohua Moitra talks about. They compare, compete, denigrate others (Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise) and then create their own competition field (Padma Award) and in the worst case may be

Speech Delay is most common in children nowadays

In ancient times, our grandparents used to follow typical natural way of caring the needs of a child. All they used were more of natural products than chemical based for the growth of child.


One of major step followed was to feed Gurbach Jadd/ Vasa Kommu/ Acorus Calamus for initiating good speech ability in a child. This stem was needed to babies on Tuesdays and Sundays in mother's milk.

Vasa is feed to baby after the 1st bath on 12th day in week. Weekly only thrice it is fed and named as :

Budhwar - Budhi Vasa
Mangalwar - Vaak Vasa
Ravi Vaar - Aayush Vasa

This stem is burnt and rubbed against the grinding stone in mother's milk or warm water to get a paste


The procedure to make it is in the link

https://t.co/uo4sGp7mUm

It should not be given daily to the child. Other main benefits are

1. It clears the phlegm in child's throat caused due to continuous milk intake. It clears the tracts and breathing is effortless.
2. Digestion

For children who haven't got their speech and is delayed than usual should feed this vasa on these days in week atleast for 6months. Don't get carried away with this dialogue
"Some gain speech little late"

शमशान में जब महर्षि दधीचि के मांसपिंड का दाह संस्कार हो रहा था तो उनकी पत्नी अपने पति का वियोग सहन नहीं कर पायी और पास में ही स्थित विशाल पीपल वृक्ष के कोटर में अपने तीन वर्ष के बालक को रख के स्वयं चिता पे बैठ कर सती हो गयी ।इस प्रकार ऋषी दधीचि और उनकी पत्नी की मुक्ति हो गयी।


परन्तु पीपल के कोटर में रखा बालक भूख प्यास से तड़पने लगा। जब कुछ नहीं मिला तो वो कोटर में पड़े पीपल के गोदों (फल) को खाकर बड़ा होने लगा। कालान्तर में पीपल के फलों और पत्तों को खाकर बालक का जीवन किसी प्रकार सुरक्षित रहा।

एक दिन देवर्षि नारद वहां से गुजर रहे थे ।नारद ने पीपल के कोटर में बालक को देख कर उसका परिचय मांगा -
नारद बोले - बालक तुम कौन हो?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चहता हूँ ।
नारद - तुम्हारे जनक कौन हैं?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चाहता हूँ ।

तब नारद ने आँखें बन्द कर ध्यान लगाया ।


तत्पश्चात आश्चर्यचकित हो कर बालक को बताया कि 'हे बालक! तुम महान दानी महर्षि दधीचि के पुत्र हो । तुम्हारे पिता की अस्थियों का वज्रास्त्र बनाकर ही देवताओं ने असुरों पर विजय पायी थी।तुम्हारे पिता की मृत्यु मात्र 31 वर्ष की वय में ही हो गयी थी'।

बालक - मेरे पिता की अकाल मृत्यु का क्या कारण था?
नारद - तुम्हारे पिता पर शनिदेव की महादशा थी।
बालक - मेरे उपर आयी विपत्ति का कारण क्या था?
नारद - शनिदेव की महादशा।
इतना बताकर देवर्षि नारद ने पीपल के पत्तों और गोदों को खाकर बड़े हुए उस बालक का नाम पिप्पलाद रखा और उसे दीक्षित किया।

1/ I am seeing more and more founder secondary in venture rounds (Secondary = founders selling some of their shares before some other shareholders are able). Series B-D. I see both as an investor and through entrepreneur circles.

2/ I like secondary for entrepreneurs. Moderation is key but in a lot of situations I think it helps accelerate the co. Lots of very smart investors disagree. Here are my thoughts.

3/ Magnitude: My basic rule of thumb from what I see is market is 4+ yrs and up to 10% of founder’s equity stake with some $ cap that makes sense given stage etc. (typically <$10m)

4/ The entrepreneurial journey is brutally hard. Giving some financial relief helps remove one piece of pressure. I don’t think that secondary in the magnitude mentioned impacts the drive/persistence of great entrepreneurs.

5/ That secondary means they will be able to just sleep knowing they can pay their kids’ tuition. Secondary will make most founders better at their jobs, thus accelerating the co.
