Did u know?

In 1949,when Nehru ordered to remove the Idol of Bhagwan Ram from Ram Janmbhoomi,it was an ICS officer named KK Nair who firmly refused & spearheaded the Ram Janmbhoomi movement

After centuries of wait,Hindus reclaimed Ram Janmbhoomi site on the night of Dec 22,1949

Hindus installed the idols of Hindu deities including Sri Ram under the main dome of the Mosque that was built after demolishing the original Ram Mandir at Ramkot by a Mughal invader named Babur in 1528.
Despite the site being protected by Police, Hindus emerged successful.

On the next morning ie Dec 23, hundreds of hindus gathered in front of the site to have a glimpse of the Moorti.
As soon as Jawaharlal Nehru came to know about the developments in Ayodhya, he immediately asked the CM of UP to get the idols removed.

The chief secretary of UP and IG of police ordered the DM KK Nair who was posted at Faizabad and Ayodhya fell in his jurisdiction. KK Nair, however refused to remove the idols.
He served in UP in various capacities since 1930. The way he dealt with the issue and his stand...

...of not removing the Idols from Ram Janmbhoomi, made him a hero. The divisional commissioner supported Nair's view and they both proposed to keep the Ram Janmbhoomi site under strict Police control. They allowed a Pujari to perform the Pooja of the Deities.

Straddles Vs Strangles – A Thread
There have been some really interesting discussion points recently based on Euan Sinclair’s assessment of RR in straddles vs strangles. Personally, I’ve always felt far more comfortable trading strangles. (1/n)

Straddles have the highest theta value and benefits more than strangles when there is a vol crush. Over time, straddles should have a net P/L greater than strangles. This, albeit, comes at the cost of a lower PoP and higher risk. (2/n)

Early in the expiry, rate of decay of OTM>ATM options. ATM options are in the middle of the bell curve and bulk of decay happens in the later stages. However, a 20% vol crush in a straddle may result in P/L greater than 100% of a 16 Delta strangle credit. Hence, (3/n)

Strangles are a vol+decay play, straddles are a far superior pure vol play. If one’s thesis is an exaggerated stock reaction, excessive implied volatility and lower Rvol going forward, it makes much more sense to narrow short strikes. You get paid more for the same PoP (4/n)

Straddles also make more sense to deploy in very small priced underlyings, where the straddle break-evens are very close to that of strangles. Might as well collect the higher credit. (5/n)

In the Hindu Epic Mahabharata, Ashwatthama or Drauni is the son of Dronacharya and the grandson of the Bharadwaj Rishi. Ashwatthama was a Maharathi who fought alongside the Kauravas against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War.

According to the Mahabharata, Ashwatthama means the sacred sound associated with the sound of a horse. He was given the name Ashwatthama because when he was born, he cried like a horse.

Here are some interesting facts about Ashwatthama.

- Ashwathama is one of the Ashta Chiranjeevi, Eight Immortals. Ashwatthama was born with a jewel on his forehead, giving him power over all living beings lower than humans. The jewel protected him from hunger, thirst, and fatigue.

- His strength is almost equal to Arjuna’s, especially in archery. Among the Kuru princes, he was good friends with Duryodhan, the eldest son of Dhritarashtra. They both have jealousy towards the Pandavas.

Duryodhan felt that Yudhisthir was his obstacle in inheriting the throne of Hastinapur, while Arjun’s talent made Ashwatthama jealous because he felt that his father’s love had been divided. After all, Arjuna was Drona’s favourite student.

Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the quality of an argument.

THREAD: 20 common logical fallacies to learn, identify, and avoid:

Ad Hominem

Latin for "to the person" - an attack of the person rather than the argument.

Instead of addressing the argument and its points and merits, the offender attempts to refute the opposition on the basis of personal characteristics.

All-too-common in politics.

The Texas Sharpshooter

A Texan fires a gun at a barn wall and then paints a target around the closest cluster of bullet holes to create the appearance of accuracy.

Selecting and highlighting evidence that supports the conclusion while ignoring evidence that may refute it.

The Bandwagon Fallacy

An assumption of truth on the basis of the majority of people believing it to be true.

"Everyone believes X, so obviously X is true."

Typically offered without regard for the qualifications or ability of the people in question to validate the claim.

Straw Man

The offender ignores the actual argument and replaces it with a flimsy, distorted, easily-refuted argument (a “straw man”).

By replacing a strong argument with a weak one, the offender can create the illusion of an easy, swift victory.

HAYAGRIVA JAYANTHI

Hayagriva is a unique incarnation of Bhagawan Vishnu with the head of a horse and the body of a human being. The purpose of this Avatar was to retrieve the stolen Vedas from the demons.

Cont 👇

The day is observed as Upakarma day and Avani Avittam day by the Brahmin community. Hayagriva Avatar is mainly mentioned in the Shanti Parva of Mahabharata and the Puranas. It is one of the lesser-known incarnations of Prabhu Vishnu.

Cont 👇

In some regions, Hayagriva is the guardian deity of the Vedas. There are several legends associated with how Bhagwan Vishnu got the horse-head in Hayagriva incarnation. In the main legend associated with Hayagriva, Devas led by Indra are the villains.

Cont 👇

It is said the powers of Vishnu made Indra jealous and they decided to kill him. Once the Devas found Prabhu Vishnu resting with his chin on his bow. The Devas turned into termites and chewed one end of the tight bowstring until it snapped.

Cont 👇

The bowstring snapped with such force that it beheaded Vishnu. Without Vishnu, the Devas were helpless before Asuras (Demons). Asuras used this opportunity and stole the Vedas and overpowered Devas.

It's the weekend!

Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain

1. How to do Industry Research?
2. How to research a Company from scratch?
3. How to determine Margin of Safety and build an Investment Case?

Lets dive right in.

The most frequent question I get asked is - How should I research an industry or a trend?

A good question indeed and my answer to this is simple.

Read, Read and then Read some more.

The more knowledge you consume, the better you will be able to identify and link trends across industries.

But reading doesn't mean you need to pick a newspaper or start reading random articles over the internet.

Your reading and research needs to be structured.

This is where technology comes in to help and make our lives easier.

Today, algorithms run our world and decide what data you consume.

Be it Instagram posts, TikTok reels or YouTube videos.

So learn to trick these algorithms and use them to your advantage.

क्यूँ मनाया जाता है रक्षाबंधन का पर्व और क्या हैं इस पर्व से जुड़ी, माँ लक्ष्मी और राजा बलि की पौराणिक कथा

कथा भगवान विष्णु के वामन अवतार से जुड़ी है. भगवान विष्णु ने वामन अवतार लेकर असुरों के राजा बलि से तीन पग भूमि का दान माँगा, दानवीर बलि इसके लिए सहज राजी हो गये

वामन ने पहले ही पग में धरती नाप ली,तो राजा बलि समझ कि गये कि ये वामन कोई और नहीं बल्कि स्वयं भगवान विष्णु ही हैं. बलि ने विनय पूर्वक भगवान विष्णु को प्रणाम किया और अगला पग रखने के लिए अपने शीश को प्रस्तुत किया. विष्णु भगवान बलि पर प्रसन्न हुए और वरदान माँगने को कहा

तब असुर राज बलि ने वरदान में भगवान विष्णु से आग्रह किया कि वह उनके द्वारपाल बने । भगवान विष्णु ने राजा बलि के इस आग्रह को स्वीकार कर लिया और वह राजा बलि के साथ पाताल लोक चले गए। भगवान विष्णु के कई दिनों तक दर्शन न होने कारण माता लक्ष्मी परेशान हो गई और वह नारद मुनि के पास गई।

नारद मुनि के पास पहुंचकर उन्होंने उनसे पूछा के भगवान विष्णु कहाँ है। जिसके बाद नारद मुनि ने माता लक्ष्मी को बताया कि वह पाताल लोक में हैं और वरदान हेतु राजा बलि के द्वारपाल बने हुए हुए हैं।

तब माता लक्ष्मी के आग्रह पे नारद मुनि ने भगवान विष्णु को वापस लाने का उपाय बताया ।

उन्होंने कहा कि आप श्रावण मास की पूर्णिमा को पाताल लोक में जाएं और राजा बलि की कलाई पर रक्षासूत्र बाँध दें। रक्षासूत्र बाँधने के बाद राजा बलि से उपहार स्वरूप भगवान विष्णु को वापस माँग लें।

तब माता लक्ष्मी ने नारद मुनि की सलाह वैसा ही किया और असुर राज बलि को राखी बाँधी

Taliban has hoisted its flag on Hazrat Ali mosque of Mazar I Sharif.

This mosque is especially venerated by Shia Hazaras of Afghanistan.

This development is of extreme significance in the light of history and has implications on the very definition of Afghanistan

Thread.

The Afghanistan we see on the map today was created by Afghan King Emir Abdur Rahman in 1900.

Before 1880, the entire central region of Afghanistan constituted a different country that was known by the name Hazaristan or Hazarajat

It was NOT considered a part of Afghanistan

That Afghanistan is nation of Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras, etc is just a modern notion created 50 years ago.

Consider this Afghan idiom of the famous Pashtun poet Khushal Khattak(c. 1613 -1689 CE)

"An Afghan is a Pashtun and a Pashtun is an Afghan. Bεhead him who says otherwise"

Who are Hazaras?

Hazaras are considered by historians to be descendants of Genghis Khan's army.

This is supported by their Asiatic features.

Although a majority of Hazaras adopted Persian with their own Hazaragi dialect, some still speak a Turkic language known as "Moghul"

An overwhelming majority of Hazaras are Shia by faith, in contrast to their Sunni Pashtun neighbors.

Hazaras are distinct from other Afghans linguistically, culturally and ethnically.

Traditionally, they inhabited the entire central region of Afghanistan from Ghazni to Herat
