Whatever action you take, it is motivated by a want and your comprehension of that goal.

Krishna did not amend Arjuna's action when he did not lift the bow. Krishna clarifies his point of view.

@SanggitaT @Indigen_Apsara

Arjuna's heart swelled with passion with that realisation, and he picked up the bow.

This is quite useful in the workplace.

Never use spell check if you're mentoring someone. The focus should be on the process of thought.

You can get an MBA in the United States or anyplace else in the world, but all they teach you is how to spell check.

GITA is the best school to learn management.

5 Tactics I Used To Improve My Open Rate By 12%.

And Sometimes Even By 15-20% 🧵

Currently, my open rate ranges between 45-47% with nearly 15k subs.

My last email had a 48% open rate.

With iOS15 putting fear into every email we send, I thought I'd break down how I've been able to increase my open rate by 12% on avg.

Gimme 4 min...

1. Emoji Identity

This is something I stole from Morning Brew.

Morning Brew includes a "☕️" in all of their subject lines for good reason.

Because the repeated use of the "☕️" ingrains their identity in a reader's inbox.

And so I did the same.

Example: Morning Brew

Every email I send, the subject line starts with the "🔍"

And when you signed up for Marketing Examined, I let you know in the welcome email that each email subject line would start with the "🔍" " so that you would know it's me.

Example: Marketing Examined

2. Ask For A Reply In Your Welcome Email

The almighty spam and promotion folder where open rates go to die.

And where newsletters go to be forgotten.

One of the most effective ways I've found to combat this is by asking for a simple reply in your Welcome Email.

Here's a fun fact for all the proponents of buying 'Quality companies at any price':

Wipro is a 'Quality Company' and a part of Nifty 50 for most part of the last 20 years

Between 2000-2021, Sales went up 22x while profits went up 33x

Stock returns were basically almost ZERO

The most powerful paradoxes of life:

The Persuasion Paradox

Have you noticed that the most argumentative people rarely persuade anyone?

The most persuasive people don’t argue—they observe, listen, and ask questions.

Argue less, persuade more.

Persuasion is an art that requires a paintbrush, not a sledgehammer.

The Effort Paradox

You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless.

Effortless, elegant performances are often the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice.

Small things become big things. Simple is not simple.

The Wisdom Paradox

“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” — Albert Einstein

The more you learn, the more you are exposed to the immense unknown.

This should be empowering, not frightening.

Embrace your own ignorance. Embrace lifelong learning.

The Growth Paradox

Growth takes a much longer time coming than you think, and then it happens much faster than you ever would have thought.

Growth happens gradually, then suddenly.

When you realize this, you start to do things differently.

I first read this book in 2009 after losing 80% of my monies on Penny stocks as a student when the 2008 drawdown happened.

Thought it was too simple !

Now in 2021, I think this is one of the best books to absorb & implement.

Investing means different things to different people - Be it health/ career/external assets with an intent to reap benefits in future.

So then is everyone an Investor ?
No.
When people do different things with even same investment products we give it a different name.

Investing is a PERSONAL Plan .
It's NOT a product . NOT a procedure.

One needs to have a clear picture of one's financials BEFORE making an investment plan.

Investment products comprise of items with distinct characteristics DESIGNED to satisfy a particular need.

Nothing is permanent except CHANGE.
Same applies for market cycles.
Different Asset Classes help us in that.

By smart movement one can increase the velocity of one's money.

It is NOT about timing the markets.
It's ABOUT the trends in an asset class.

Did you know you already have 10 LAKHS worth of free insurance with your debit or credit card?

Here's all you need to know about how to claim it.

A thread👇(1/n)

Guess what?

ATM, Credit, and Debit cards aren’t just for shopping and banking.

What most people don’t know is they have other less-known benefits too. Like complimentary insurance!

Almost every bank provides Personal Accidental insurance to customers with an operational bank account.

👉Depending on the type of card, this cover ranges from ₹50000 to ₹10 lakh.

If an unfortunate accident does occur that leads to death or permanent disability, the beneficiary can approach the bank with the relevant medical reports and documents, and a lump sum payout can be claimed within 90 days.

💡The only catch here is that in most cases, the card should have been in active use & the claim should be made in a given time span.

Some cards might require you to have made at least 1 transaction during the last 90 days before the accident.

“How do you know?”
You never know!

In investing, you have to act on incomplete knowledge.

I came across a great article by @honam lately.

In it, he discusses his decision-making under the condition of an unknowable future.

I think the learnings are worth sharing 👇🏼

“The truth is, in the beginning, we never knew how things would turn out.” - Ho Nam

When you analyze a company, you (hopefully) come up with an investment thesis at the end.

But it’s nothing more than that - a thesis.
The future is yet unwritten thus unknown.

Sequoia’s Mike Moritz has beautifully described an initial investment as a “giant step into the unknown.”

That’s why your work isn’t done after the decision to buy.
Investing is a journey.

You have to reevaluate your investments constantly.

Ho Nam’s article offers four questions (we’ll discuss three) that can help you do that and decide whether you should hold, sell, or double down.

Although they’re primarily VC (Venture Capital) focused, I believe we can all learn something from them.

1. Does the company generate cash?

Especially in the VC world, but also with bigger and more established companies, it’s not a given companies make money.

There’s a tendency to overpay for vision and underpay for value at the moment.

But Cash-Flow is a form of safety.

CHOTTANIKKARA BHAGAWATHY, KOCHI (Ker)

Ma, known as Rajarajeswari (Adiparashakti), is worshipped here in 3 forms-Saraswati in morning, Lakshmi at noon and Durga in evening.

There is a murti of Maha Vishnu on the same pedestal, together worshipped as Ammenarayana.
@LostTemple7

Legend says that Adi Shankaracharya Ji wanted to bring Ma Sharadamba to Kerala.
Ma followed him on the condition that he will not look back.
When he moved, he could hear only sound of anklets behind him. At a point, the sound stopped and he looked back. This place was Kollur.

Devi decided to stay there but on his request, she agreed to be present here as Saraswati in the morning.

Pavizhamalli thara is the moola sthana of Devi. She was moved to the current location by Villwamangalam Swamiyaar after the presence of Devi was discovered by locals.

There is an old mandir near the main one known as Kizhukkavu. People who feel haunted by evil spirits visit here.

The trees around the mandir are full of long nails.
When mental illness gets cured, people put a nail here.

Makom Thozhal is the most important festival.

#CPR is an indicator which is used for #Intraday in Stock Market.

This learning thread would be on
"𝙐𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙋𝙍"

Like❤️& Retweet🔁for wider reach and for more such learning thread in the future.

Also, an investment strategy is shared using CPR in the end.

1/24

Central Pivot Range (CPR) acts like a magnetic level for any stock/index. Traders use it for intraday but it works on higher time frame as well.
CPR is just the three lines which is like a magnet and price approaches these levels. CPR acts like a support or resistance.

2/24

What are these three lines now?

𝗣𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 = (High + Low + Close)/3
𝗕𝗖 = (High + Low)/2
𝗧𝗖 = (Pivot – BC) + Pivot

For intraday chart use previous day candle HLC. Similarly, for Daily Chart it would be Monthly HLC. For Weekly/Monthly Chart use Yearly HLC.

3/24

This indicator is available on Zerodha Kite (web version) and it works well there. It's also available in @tradingview but setup needs to be done based on the time frame.

Images are shared for CPR setup of both the terminals (Zerodha and Tradingview).

4/24

CPR can be used in finding trend.

If CPR is moving up for the next day, then trend is up. If CPR is moving down for the next day, then trend is down.

Some examples for both:
In the below chart of Nifty (5 mins), CPR is moving down and price is also in downtrend.

One of the powerful Devi Kshetra in Karnataka

Dasarighatta Chowdeshwari Temple

Chowdeshwari temple is located at Dasarighatta of Tumkur district, Karnataka. Shakti Devi is worshipped as Chowdeshwari Ammavaru here.
@LostTemple7

Temple is said to be 300 years old, & Vigraham is of Panchaloham. Temple holds a great & beautiful speciality, in which we can write each and every question directly & Devi will answer our questions.

It is also said that Devi answers all questions even in the mind of a devotee.

The question can be asked in any language of Kannada, Hindi, English, Telugu etc. The poojari is believed to write down the answers in the Kannada on  rice flour or ragi flour base.

KARTHIGAI DEEPAM: STORY BEHIND THE FESTIVAL

Karthigai Deepam is the festival of lights that is celebrated in Tamil Nadu, Andhrapradesh, Karnataka and Kerela during the month of Karthigai (Nov-Dec).

Tiruvannamalai Mandir is known for Karthigai Deepam festival.

@LostTemple7

Legend says that once Sri Vishnu and Brahma had a fight to know who was the most powerful of the two.
Shiva appeared before them in the form of an enormous pillar of fire. The two decided to find the top and bottom of the pillar.
However, neither of them could find its end.

Shiva, then, appeared as a hill (Arunachala Hill) in Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu. The Shivalinga here is Agni linga.
It is believed that small lamps lit during Karthigai are miniature replicas of the fire linga. Every year, thousands of people come to see the Karthigai Deepam.

Lamps called 'agal' are placed in front of Prabhu and in Kolams.

Different patterns of lamps are used - Lakshmi villaku shaped like a woman with folded hands, Kuthu villaku shaped like a five petal flower and the Gajalakshmi villaku—the elephant lamp.

This is in response to the question by @unseenvalue

If I had to buy 1 stock today, anywhere in the world, no avg. up or down, 5 year holding period (I will make that as 10 year for thesis to play out)

Since I track mainly Indian equities, restricting the choice to this space

Few points to look for
1. Strong macro tailwind rather than headwind, huge growth runway for company/segment. It can't be in a niche space & demand must not be easily substitutable
2. Strong Biz Model, high growth curve (15%+ over the period), strong ROE profile (hurdle rate 20%)

3. Low or no leverage, efficient capital allocation, (read minimal or zero fresh dilution requirements), strong cash flows and correspondingly high dividend payout ratios (consistent dividend history) and finally strong moat and with limited regulatory involvement / no reg issues

4. Promoter quality and intention must be beyond reproach, proven management with skin in the game
5. Capability to manage disruption, and if possible to even profit from it. If you can't be disrupted easily, you will eventually adapt your game to gain scale

6. There must be a possibility of non-linear growth if the scale-up hypothesis gets proven right. It's like an FD with low fixed return plus significant upside optionality. Multiple revenue streams / margin levers / IP that can provide non linearity in growth

🌺भीमबेटका शैलाश्रय🌺

भीमबेटका (भीमबैठका) भारत के मध्य प्रदेश प्रान्त के रायसेन जिले में स्थित एक पुरापाषाणिक आवासीय पुरास्थल है। यह आदि-मानव द्वारा बनाये गए शैलचित्रों और शैलाश्रयों के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। इन चित्रों को पुरापाषाण काल से मध्यपाषाण काल के समय का माना जाता है।

ये चित्र भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप में मानव जीवन के प्राचीनतम चिह्न हैं। यह स्थल मध्य प्रदेश की राजधानी भोपाल से ४५ किमी दक्षिणपूर्व में स्थित है। इनकी खोज वर्ष १९५७-१९५८ में डॉक्टर विष्णु श्रीधर वाकणकर द्वारा की गई थी

युनेस्को विश्व धरोहर स्थल भीमबेटका शैलाश्र भीमबेटका क्षेत्र को भारतीय पुरातत्व सर्वेक्षण, भोपाल मंडल ने अगस्त १९९० में राष्ट्रीय महत्त्व का स्थल घोषित किया। इसके बाद जुलाई २००३ में यूनेस्को ने इसे विश्व धरोहर स्थल घोषित किया।

यहाँ पर अन्य पुरावशेष भी मिले हैं जिनमें प्राचीन किले की दीवार,लघुस्तूप, पाषाण निर्मित भवन,शुंग-गुप्त कालीन अभिलेख,शंख अभिलेख व परमार कालीन मंदिर के अवशेष सम्मिलित हैं।

ऐसा माना जाता है कि यह स्थान महाभारत के चरित्र भीम से संबन्धित है एवं इसी से इसका नाम भीमबैठका (भीमबेटका)पड़ा।

ये गुफाएँ मध्यभारत के पठार के दक्षिणी किनारे पर स्थित विन्ध्याचल की पहाड़ियों के नीचे हैं।इसके दक्षिण में सतपुड़ा की पहाड़ियाँ आरम्भ होतीहैं।यहाँ600शैलाश्रय हैं जिनमें275 शैलाश्रय चित्रों द्वारा सज्जित हैं।पूर्व पाषाणकाल से मध्य ऐतिहासिक काल तक यह स्थान मानव गतिविधि का केंद्र था।
