Chhath Mahaparva: Why in Bihar?

During the Vedic period, a demon called ‘Gayasur’ lived in ‘Keekat Pradesh’, a vast area spanning most of central India. He was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. Gayasur was massive in size too. It is said that when he lay on the ground,

his head would fall in northern India and his legs in the Andhra region. Most significantly, his heart would lie in Gaya.

The devtas were very scared of Gayasur as he would often trouble them. They were desperate to get rid of him and so they approached Lord Brahma.

But Brahma said He was helpless because Gayasur was among the greatest devotees of Lord Vishnu and nothing could be done to the demon.

The devtas then went to Lord Vishnu but He, too, was very reluctant to end the life of His most ardent devotee. The devtas suggested to Vishnu

that He could at least allow a ‘yagna’, invoking His name, to be performed on Gayasur’s heart, which lay in the Gaya region.

Lord Vishnu reluctantly agreed and approached Gayasur, who realised that the performance of the yagna – that too in Vishnu’s name – would lead to his

instant death. But he couldn't refuse the request because he was a passionate devotee of Vishnu.

Lord Vishnu, in turn, blessed Gayasur that his name would never ever be forgotten. Vishnu ordained that the place where a yagna was to be performed on Gayasur's heart – that is,

Avoiding "bad foods" and eating only "good foods" is a great way to develop a bad relationship with your food.

I spent years avoiding "this" and "that" because I heard someone say they were "bad" on the internet.

When I started tracking properly, I realized it's mostly BS.

You can lose weight eating pretty much anything if you're in a calorie deficit.

I'm sure I'll get "bUt YoU'rE nOt HeAlThY iF yOu EaT " comments.

Sure, eating 'clean' foods is a good idea.

But thinking you messed up because you had an Oreo, your mindset is fucked.

This constant obsession with clean foods and eliminating a zillion 'factors to obesity' is a non-starter when you track your food.

And for many, having some "forbidden" treats periodically (when they fit their calories/macros) is *EXACTLY* what they need to stay on track.

I tried the whole "can't eat sugar, don't eat this oil, don't consume that artificial sweetener" route.

Didn't do shit for me.

If it works for you, GREAT.

But I'm sure there's other people out there who can't "just eat whole foods, bro".

I know I sure was...

Now here's the kicker... when you get fit and lean, your bloodwork and biomarkers for health will improve dramatically.

*Weight Loss* improves health biomarkers for health more than any other factor.

ANY other factor.

Regardless of if you consumed a 'dirty' food.

Thread: Central Pivot Range (CPR)

CPR is another popular tool. Three lines are plotted on the chart when we plot CPR.

The three lines are: CPR, TC and BC.

Let’s understand the calculation.

You may recall that I explained the calculation of Pivot levels in an earlier thread. CPR stands for Central Pivot Range. It is always a center line of the three lines that gets plotted in the chart.

CPR is a Pivot price. Pivot is average of HLC as explained in the prev thread.

We also discussed about Mid-range of the session. Mid-range is average of High and low price of the session.

The mid-range of the bar is known as BC in the CPR calculation. BC stands for Bottom central pivot.

Pivot level captures the relationship of the closing price to the range of the session.

Pivot price above mid-price = bullish pivot
Pivot price below mid-price = bearish pivot

So, CPR line is Pivot and BC line is Mid-range.

What is the difference between both?
Mid-range is average of High and Low.

Pivot is average of High, Low and Close.
What will make the difference between the two?

Close.

Bootstrapped entrepreneurs always have the last laugh.

A son of Iranian immigrants turned a single LA retail store into a $1,000,000,000+ ecommerce giant.

All with $0.00 in funding

Here’s the story 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

1/ Richard Saghian was born in 1982.

His family was a minority group of Jewish-Iranians who fled during the revolution.

After moving to America, they got into women’s fashion retail.

In 2006, Richard followed in their footsteps…

2/ He started his own store. His idea was simple: affordable, unique clothes to wear to the club.

His goal was to open 100, but he stopped at 5.

Early on, he had the idea of opening up an internet store...

3/ The web dev he hired quickly talked him out of it, “where will you get traffic?” was a question Richard couldn’t answer.

After a few years, the retail stores were going nowhere…

4/ In 2013, Richard noticed several stores online selling the same clothes for over twice what he charged.

He created an Instagram account, took some of his best selling styles and started posting them every day.

At first, crickets.

But then, something magical happened…

Option selling strategy thread 🧵

*Capital must be above 6lac

*Target only banknifty (weekly expiry)

* Target 1/2% per week

* combine premium should above 100

Two types of strategy normally i use

⚡ directional

⚡Non directional (strangle)

⚡Direction - when banknifty & out of 5 major banking stocks 2 given breakout or breakdown.

(5 major banks 🏦 - #hdfcbank #icicibank #kotakbank #sbi #axisbank)

✨Breakout - when #banknifty gives breakout & 2/3 banks looking strong.

Then mark swing low of #banknifty & start selling 200 points down strike puts and add more at support line.

If swing support broken then exit.

(Trending upmove)

✨Breakdown - when #banknifty gives breakdown range & (2/3 banks are weak or breakdown stage)

Mark it's swing high & start selling its 200 points above call .

If swing resistance broken then exit .

⚡Non directional (strangle) - when #banknifty and major banks all in range then mark their support & resistance zone.

Selling 200 points above calls of resistance zone & selling 200 points below puts of support zone.

When ever support & resistance break exit position .

Ten 90-day challenges for your mind, body and soul.

A thread...

1: Structured thinking

Our mind is buzzing with thoughts.
But when we start speaking, we fail to structure them.

What is needed, is a way to pace our thoughts.

That is where writing helps.

Writing is the slowest form of expression.
When we write, we are not just thinking about what we wish to communicate, we are also selecting the most important thought from all other thoughts.

Write everyday for 90-days.
And always conclude with a "This tells me that ________"

2. Confident speaking

We get conscious when it comes to public speaking.
Even if we are confident of the content.

Record a video of yours for 90-days, on ANY topic.

Do not share it with anyone.
Review it, identify improvements and correct them the next day.

3. Sugar craving

Whenever you feel like having sugar, drink a glass of water and then have sugar-free chewing gum.

Water fills your stomach.
Gum satiates your sugar craving.
Because you are chewing it, you can't have anything else.

90days and you won't crave for sugar anymore.

@warikoo's 90 days challenge.
A visual thread

1. Write

2. Speak confidently

3. Sugar craving

4. Read a lot.

Directional Arrow of Progress

"Study the undeniable arrows of progress." - @wolfejosh

The future is extremely difficult to predict—but there are clues.

Look at the trend line of progress and where it's pointing—directionally, not precisely.

Invest (or build) accordingly.

Place all of your tasks on a 2x2 matrix of urgency and importance.

(1) Important & Urgent
(2) Important & Not Urgent
(3) Not Important & Urgent
(4) Not Important & Not Urgent

The Regret Minimization Framework

The goal is to minimize the number of regrets in life.

When faced with a difficult decision:
(1) Project yourself into the future.

जानिये क्यूँ की जाती है गोवर्धन पूजा 🙏🏻

“गोवर्धन धराधार गोकुल त्राणकारक।
विष्णुबाहु कृतोच्छ्राय गवां कोटिप्रभो भव।।

देवराज इन्द्र के अभिमान को चूर करने हेतु भगवान श्री कृष्ण ने, जो स्वयं लीलाधारी श्री हरि विष्णु के अवतार हैं ने एक लीला रची।

#GovardhanPuja

प्रभु की इस लीला में यह हुआ कि एक दिन प्रभु ने देखा के सभी बृजवासी उत्तम पकवान बना रहे हैं और किसी पूजा की तैयारी में जुटे। श्री कृष्ण ने बड़े भोलेपन से मईया यशोदा से प्रश्न किया " मईया ये आप लोग किनकी पूजा की तैयारी कर रहे हैं" कृष्ण की बातें सुनकर मैया बोली -

“लल्ला हम देवराज इन्द्र की पूजा के लिए अन्नकूट की तैयारी कर रहे हैं।”

मैया के ऐसा कहने पर श्री कृष्ण बोले मैया हम इन्द्र की पूजा क्यों करते हैं ?

मैया ने कहा वह वर्षा करते हैं जिससे अन्न की पैदावार होती है उनसे हमारी गायों को चारा मिलता है।

भगवान श्री कृष्ण बोले हमें तो गोर्वधन पर्वत की पूजा करनी चाहिए क्योंकि हमारी गाये वहीं चरती हैं, इस दृष्टि से गोर्वधन पर्वत ही पूजनीय है और इन्द्र तो कभी दर्शन भी नहीं देते व पूजा न करने पर क्रोधित भी होते हैं अत: ऐसे अहंकारी की पूजा नहीं करनी चाहिए।

लीलाधारी की लीला और माया से सभी ने इन्द्र के बदले गोवर्घन पर्वत की पूजा की।

देवराज इन्द्र ने इसे अपना अपमान समझा और मूसलाधार वर्षा शुरू कर दी। प्रलय के समान वर्षा देखकर सभी बृजवासी भगवान को लगने लगा कि ये सब श्री कृष्ण की बात मानने के फलस्वरूप हुआ
