Big boost for Assad. He wasn't invited to any global summit in over a decade. This week he'll attend his first Arab League Summit since 2011. But at COP28, he will come face to face with Western powers, who supported his rivals in a long & bloody war. reuters.com/world/middle-e

How is there no outrage on the 5- 20% TCS on Foreign Remittances. This includes foreign trips, sending money abroad & other expenses. ( excl. education & medical). Initially it used to be 5% above 7Lakhs in a financial year. Now there is no threshold. This is ridiculous!

Middle East is shaking things up, much needed. Interesting to see how we are the generation who might just be able to see the power shift or at-least distributed geographically.

While the focus is on Aliaa Bhatt, Isha Ambani and Priyanka Chopra, the #MetGala2023 carpet has a lovely Kerala connection. Kerala-based Neytt by Extraweave made it with sisal fibres and local artisans took 60 days to make the carpet. It was later hand-painted in the US.

The on-ground banking system in India has been so bad and the worst hit is Tier II and III cities and senior citizens. The people there also lack absolute sympathy and understanding!

Never been klapped so hard by flu in my life. Day 4 and I had to come to work to try and keep my mind busy and attend to clients. 4 hours in and I’m ready to fall asleep. Seems to be doing the rounds and I’m coughing like a dog.

This move by Saudi Arabia will provide a boost to Erdogan and Turkey's economy with less than 70 days to go for national elections. #Turkey's net international reserves fell by $1.4 bn to $20.2 bn last month. The country has lost around $8.5 bn since the massive earthquake.

I have been told I’m an Arab, Pakistani, Iranian and Iraqi even. Funniest was when a SriLankan thought I was ‘white’ and refused to believe I was an Indian because my skin wasn’t brown enough. 🫣
Quote Tweet
Just coz I am Muslim doesn't mean I was born in Pakistan, ChatGPT! Nor any association with Bangaldesh. But I know the feeling, all brown people are related to each other, according to white people.
