Modinomics at Work: BSE Sensex Scales New Highs


Indian stock market indices scaled new highs on Wednesday with the Sensex breaching the 30,000 mark. The Nifty crossed 9,300 for the first time. The latest rally comes amidst renewed investor confidence in Indian economy and bullish sentiments overall.

Indian stocks have gained over 12% already this calendar year, outperforming global markets. Foreign investors and analysts have reaffirmed their faith in the present leadership; have resumed buying after a brief pause of two weeks. The sentiment was echoed by investment guru Mark Faber who said that he would prefer India to the US for next 10 years as he believes Modi would perform better than Donald Trump.

Unlike previous bull runs which ended in stock market bubbles, the latest rally has been driven by fundamentals so far. Bellwether Reliance has been a major contributor, rallying nearly 40% riding the Jio wave which shook the Indian telecom industry. Infrastructure stocks have bounced back smartly with the hopes of better conditions as the central govt speeds up investment by removing hurdles and restructuring languishing projects. Banking and finance sector too are looking up, after the RBI took strict measures to recognise and resolve long pending NPA issues, a legacy of the previous govts.

As the worst of Demonetization effects, which were mostly over-hyped by some dubious ‘analysts’, seem to be over, the public has reaffirmed its confidence on the central govt and investors are making a beeline to invest in the India growth story. If the economy sustains the momentum to grow at 9-10% as the finance minister Jaitley confidently says, 40,000 may not be too far for Sensex.

Brand Modi Strengthens Even as Opponents Fight for Survival



MCD exit polls are the latest indication that Indian voter can’t be taken for granted. The days of MSM narratives dictated by the Lutyens elite influencing the Junta are now clearly passé. People are now connected, practical, and know when they’re being taken for a ride. Recent election results in many states and municipal corporations reaffirmed just this.

After Congress, SP and other regional parties, the AAP is the latest to learn this lesson. After riding Anna Hazare’s popularity wave and hijacking the anti-corruption movement to propel their political ambitions, Kejriwal and company figured they didn’t have to do any hard work to come up in politics. All they had to do was to pretend to be different, and indulge in a steady stream of negative propaganda against the centre and other political parties. Only thing they didn’t realize was that people of Delhi wanted to give him a chance, to see if he was actually any different. And that a bigger change was already there, in the form of Modi.

The contrast is striking. On one side there’s Modi and his team of hardworking and efficient ministers supported at NDA ruled states which keep introducing one efficient CM after another. The latest in the list of popular NDA CMs is Yogi Adityanath, who’s making all the right moves, adding to Modi’s overall popularity.  On the other, we see Congress, with a leader who keeps vanishing on holidays after every election loss. Rahul Gandhi’s team of CMs have been equally pathetic, from Siddaramaiah to Virbhadra Singh.  Other regional parties which are trying to put up a united fight against Modi are in total shambles with a host of internal problems, without any clue or credibility required to inspire confidence in people.

While his opponents are running helter-skelter trying to figure out their next move, Modi has been relentless with systematic planning and implementation of his goals. Despite thumping electoral victories and he hasn’t taken a break in nearly three years as PM. Even as the Delhi drama unfolds, he was busy addressing his chief ministers, taking stock of the progress made and anlaysing ppt presentations from CMs on the roadmap to achieve development targets. Yes, targets and PPTs. Modi is the only political leader who works like a corporate CEO. No wonder many people across the country see him as the only hope amidst a political landscape filled with years corruption and red tape. Though several analysts and liberal journalists have gone into panic mode, the complete rout of opposition is just what the doctor ordered for the country. If they have to survive, they need to forget the old, corrupt ways and adapt to the new unforgiving landscape.  Till they are able to do it, Modi would have fewer obstacles in his quest to resurrect India.

Going on for a date, then be aware of these biggest turnoffs for your partner

It is an auspicious moment, to go out for the first date with your partner, as it is the first arrow which you project on your relationship to build a great bond, but what if it turns into a night mare?
There are many traits that make a guy/girl the perfect one, however, there are many turn offs which makes them hatred by their partners.


Here’s a list of those poor tradition one should be aware of when going on for first date.

The biggest turn offs for women,
1.       Insecure/Nervy Personalities
Guys be aware of this, this is one of the most negative trait you produce, which is a biggest turn off for the first date. Let me tell you, we have heard about how our first impression impacts on others we meet. The society would only keep you away, then how would girls believe in you. On your first date, be sure you are confident; else it would ruin your date. Women can easily notice your each move, if you are not confident, or nervous it would alarm her and would lose her trust on you. So be aware of this trait. Be who you are, never think of impressing any one, it would be a reason for your backlash, be bold and energetic. Build an aura on yourself, which in return make you Unique.

2.       Boring guys
Guys who are boring is a great turn off for women, once in a while we meet someone who is very boring, their conversation neither light up our eyes nor we fall asleep. Presence of mind is one which brings women closer to us. Be present in this moment, go on be little funny/naughty/aggressive, but never offend her.

3.       Loud/Boasting guys
Some guys show off/ build their image as a super hero, one like who hits 100 villains at a time, Graphic type a GUY. Keep in mind that you are not going be a hero in front of her unless you get a chance. She believes in right actions at right time. So better wait and watch for the right time to act. Perfect prediction, perfect foot work and perfect timing sends the ball out of the stadium. Never be too impetuous, wait and act. Well!!! I didn’t mean to say to kick the restaurant waiter if your order is late, which never impress any girl LOL. Think wise.

4.       Hyper sensitive/ kiddo
We all are kid at heart; we have emotions and also love to express it. Remember, why would women, want to be with them who are their another version?  Oops! Never ever expose this trait on your first date, if you are that kind.

5.       Overenthusiastic/ Hyper active
Being active is a great nature of yours, when it exceeds the limit, it leads to irritation. What is there is performing as a one man show? She feels her absence very soon, she wants to indulge in the activity, and she wants to impress you as well, give her chance, and let her take the lead sometimes. It’s good that you impress her by being spontaneous, meanwhile remember anything which is more is poisonous.

To be frank, like women, even men have many dreams on dating!! Men too are very observant and highly sensitive when they feel offended.

Now let me tell you the little things that turn men off in a big way.

1.       Don’t be too controlling/dominating
Are you too controlling when your guys is around you? Do you want everything he does in your approve? Well, it is good to control him on occasions, or may be little rare, when is going in a way which is not good to him, he may also feel sweetened/ cared. But if you make it a routine, he would definitely feel offended and try to avoid you. Gosh! Please don’t even think of it on your first date with him, let it be his show, enjoy his way of pleasing you.

2.       Yes or no answers
Don’t be too shy, he is confused alien. When you are with him, like, when he ask for your order for the dinner, pleas be open and give him your suggestions on what to order, or else he would be confused. Try to converse and share your opinion, he would feel relaxed and easy.

3.       Baby talking
If you are already in relationship, then it’s fine. But on your first date never talk like an infant as it is one of the fastest way to turnoff them. A guy may think you’re being cute if you act girly and sweet, but mouthing words like a baby that’s still learning to talk will only make him cringe. For baby talking to work, there needs to be an intimate bond between the guy and the girl. If you’re still getting to know each other, avoid talking like a baby. It won’t turn him on, and you won’t look sweeter doing it!

4.       Getting too serious, too soon
This is one of the biggest mistake girls do. Don’t try to be as you are already in relationship and scare that little baby!!!
If he likes you and has said that he want to meet you again and again, don’t take it seriously and call him all the time and ask him whether he had food, what is he doing, why didn’t he call you or why didn’t he inform you about his outing with friends. This would be a great turn off for him and also he might take you for granted. Be aware of this.

5.       Never take him for granted
Last but the most important trait you have is that you take him for granted. If you are in relationship, men may notice it little later and oppose this. However, if you are going on for the first date with him, never take his greets and care for granted as if it is his duty to do, he may find it highly odd attitude and quickly run away. Be nice to him, he deserves to be one.
Avoid these biggest dating turn offs and avoid crossing thin line separating crazy and cute at any point of time when you are with him and have a memorable time with your partner.

AIADMK Throws Out Sasikala as EPS Decides to Join OPS


OPS &  EPS
Tamilnadu ruling party AIADMK removed the biggest hurdle blocking the merger of two rival factions by throwing out the Mannargudi family from the government as well as party activities. With this move its now certain that the OPS and EPS factions would come together soon. After a meeting of MLAs and MPs at the Chief Minister’s residence last evening, Minister D Jayakumar had announced that Dhinakaran and his family will be kept away from AIADMK and its govt. However, there’s no clarity yet on who is going to head the united government.

Though EPS, who was handpicked by Sasikala, seems to want the CM post at any cost, OPS supporters say he should be the first choice. 
Sasikala and TTV
Meanwhile, Sasikala’s nephew TTV Dhinakaran rushed back to Chennai in a bid to salvage the situation by herding his MLAs. He said that all MLAs are with him and there was no revolt in the party.

The sudden turn of events have led to speculations of the centre’s increasing influence in Tamilnadu politics, and a possibility of the ruling AIADMK growing closer to NDA, just ahead of the presidential election. Meanwhile, the crime branch has issued a lookout notice against the Dhinakaran, who’s an NRI, as intelligence reports had suggested that he may try to flee the country. Delhi police had lodged an FIR against Sasikala’s nephew after recent raids revealed his involvement in the bribery and corruption cases.

Pakistan Back to Dirty Tricks - Sentences Indian to Death without Trial


Kulbhushan Jadhav
An Indian national was sentenced to death by Pakistan on Monday after a sham trial in contravention of all international norms. While Pakistan claims Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer, is a Spy working for RAW, India has accused Pak of cooking up a false case after abducting him from Iraq. Indian authorities expressed anguish over the news, saying the death sentence without a transparent and fair trial would amount to pre-meditated murder.


Indian defense experts have said that Pakistan has failed to provide any proof to support its allegations and also refused to provide consular access to India, a right given to any country under the Geneva Convention. 

Pakistan had accused Jadhav of creating war and unrest in Baluchistan and tried him under the Army Act and Official Secrets Act in an opaque manner. India reacted strongly to the news and summoned Pak High Commissioner Abdul Basit and issued a demarche. India also withheld the goodwill release of 12 Pak prisoners scheduled for Wednesday.

Pakistan was never known for honoring treaties or international rules, but this case has once again exposed its double standards to the world. While it allows free movement to dreaded terrorists like Hafiz Sayeed on its soil and keeps demanding more proof to show the involvement in terror activities in India, it has thrown all norms to the wind in case of Kulbhushan Jadhav.
