First is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has discarded the neutral approach towards US elections. Perceiving that the Democrats have gone too far to be appeased, he is now clearly backing Trump as far as he can within the limits of international relations. Second, Modi’s backing of Trump is part of a quid pro quo, where India will get unequivocal su...

Cycling is bad for the Economy Hilarious but true too 😄  Sanjay Thakrar, CEO at Euro Exim Bank Ltd.  got economists thinking when he said :  A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy  - He does not buy the car & does not take car loan  - Does not buy car insurance  - Does not buy Fuel  - Does not send his car for servicing & repairs  - Does not use paid Parking  - Does not become Obese  - Yes,.....and well, damn it !!  Healthy people are not needed for economy. They do not buy drugs. They do not go to Hospitals & Doctors.  They add nothing to country's GDP.  On the contrary, every new McDonald outlet creates at least 30 jobs - 10 Cardiologists, 10 Dentists, 10 weight loss experts apart from people working in McDonald outlet. Choose wisely: A Cyclist or a McDonald ?  Worth thinking. 🤔🤔😀😀 PS. walking is even worse. they do not even buy a bicycle.
