Get Set, here we go...
What is LRS Route for Indian Investors

LRS (Liberalized Remittance Scheme) is a facility introduced by the Reserve Bank of India (@RBI) that allows resident individuals to send money abroad for permitted purposes without seeking prior RBI approval.

Every resident Indian can remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year (April–March) under this scheme. This limit is cumulative across all foreign transfers made during the year.

The money can be used for a variety of purposes, including investing in US stocks and ETFs, investing in overseas mutual funds, paying for education, medical treatment, travel expenses, gifts and maintenance of relatives living overseas, and buying property outside India.

LRS is available only to resident individuals. It is not available to companies, partnership firms, HUFs or trusts.

If you invest in foreign stocks or ETFs through Indian platforms like @INDmoneyApp or similar services, the money is generally remitted under the LRS route through an authorized Indian bank.
The bank handles the foreign exchange conversion and regulatory reporting.

Example: If you want to invest ₹5 lakh in a Nasdaq ETF or USD 2,000 in Apple shares, your Indian bank converts your rupees into dollars and remits the amount abroad under the LRS route, while tracking it against your annual USD 250,000 limit.

Let us look at the available Frameworks now...
What frameworks and platforms can I use to invest via LRS Route

There are primarily three (3) different frameworks (and multiple platforms within each framework) to invest internationally via the LRS Route:

Framework # 1: Investing via US listed funds
Framework # 2: Investing via UCITS listed funds
Framework # 3: Investing via GIFT City

Framework # 1 should be the preferred choice for all beginners and most retail investors.

Framework # 2 should be the preferred choice for those retail investors who are building significant wealth internationally (Say more than USD 60,000 internationally).

Framework # 3 is the least preferred option in the current scenario, primarily because it is new, and there are lot of unknowns as of now.

Let us deep dive into each Framework now, starting with Framework 1...

IF YOUR IPHONE'S BATTERY IS DRAINING FASTER THAN EVER, YOU DON'T NEED A NEW PHONE FIRST. YOU NEED NEW SETTINGS.

HERE'S HOW TO FIX POOR BATTERY LIFE IN 7 STEPS:
1. Check out what's really draining your battery:

- Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging → Battery Usage

Review:
- Which apps consume the most battery in the last 24 hours / 10 days
- The “Background Activity” below each app's name

If Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Maps show a lot of Background Activity, they're draining your battery even when you're not using them. Disable background app refresh for these apps (next step).
2. Disable unnecessary background updates:

- Go to Settings → General → Background App Refresh → Background App Refresh → Off
(or choose Wi-Fi instead of Wi-Fi and Cellular Data)

- Then disable it for:
- Social apps (IG, TikTok, FB, X)
- Shopping apps
- Random apps you almost never open

They don't need to run 24/7. Your battery will last longer right away.

Bloomberg has now published the full 14-point text of Trump's Iran Memorandum of Understanding. The Saudi presentation leaked earlier today was largely accurate.

The problems identified then are now confirmed in the document itself. Quick thread.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The sequencing issue is now confirmed.

Article 13 of the actual document makes the sequencing explicit. Iran will not enter final negotiations until Articles 4, 5, 10, and 11 are implemented first.
Articles 4, 5, 10, and 11 are about the US lifting the naval blockade, Iranian shipping restored to pre-war volume, US Treasury waivers for Iranian crude oil exports, and frozen Iranian assets released and made fully available.

This is the toolkit for the U.S. given away upfront

Ok, so it looks very likely that we are going to be a very consequential housing bill out of Congress and to the President for his signature. Here’s a cheat sheet of some of the most important parts of the bill (just going through the text in order). 1/10
Section 102- Point access blocks. Directs HUD to create a model code for single-stair buildings. This will be very helpful in creating more family-oriented apartments. (see this article of mine from last year on that). 2/10
Section 103- Environmental exception for infill housing. It’s ridiculous that building new housing on already developed land can sometimes trigger special environmental reviews. This fixes that. Sections 206, 501, and 802 make similar additive moves here. 3/10

🚨🚨UFC Freedom 250 attack planner’s wife knew about his communications and plot

💥Court documents reveal Eskridge’s wife knew of his communications and “he moved all his tactical equipment from their residence and took it to his parents’ house due to a recent Child Protective Services call involving a domestic situation with his stepson.”

💥He was preparing to make his house a “safe house.” Including a hiding spot under floor boards of an out building.

💥They were discussing “hitting” a military ordinance plant to obtain materials for the explosive charge for the drones. Specifically, Parsons, Kansas Assembly Facility

⁉️Who is Daniel Eskridge (Fulcrum)

According to screenshots of chat messages contained in court documents filed in Nebraska, one of the co conspirators, Daniel Eskridge, 32 of Kidder, MO, is married with 5 kids, currently union carpenter foreman, previously union boilermaker welder/rigger/foreman/ high angle rescue team. He was currently employed building commercial and government buildings and previously worked in energy generation field building and maintaining all of the many different types of power plants and substations. He lives in the country on 6 acres and has 25 acres that is mostly timber and secluded.Image

⚡️Eskridge wanted to add “more fuel on the fire to show our fellow Americans that the time has come to stand up and reclaim that power.”⚡️

💥The goal stated by Eskridge for the group conspiring to attack UFC with the intent to take out high value targets of wealthy people and politicians - including the president, VP, several Senators and members of Congress listed on an AIPAC tracking site.

💥“Our goal is to in a general sense "restore the old republic" our constitutional republic has been stolen by corporations, politicians and foreign actors they have usurped the power from the people and concentrated it at the top to the point that we now live in late stage "democracy".

When I say restore the old republic I am not talking about all of the flaws that we had in past times but merely talking about the fact that in a Constitutional republic the people truly hold the power and that's what we intend to restore. To get there this country needs more fuel on the fire to show our fellow Americans that the time has come to stand up and reclaim that power.”Image

🔴Eskridge talked about corruption and being at a “trigger point” and “to set this off we need an event or events that cause people to realize the revolution has officially begun.”

ESKRIDGE continued to talk about a corrupt system and how individuals in the group should put differences aside because they have all been “victims of the system in one way or another.” ESKRIDGE then went on to state that the “revolution will not be televised” and this movement needs a “group like ours.” ESKRIDGE then stated: “So right now in the historical timeline I believe we are at the ‘trigger event’ point. Meaning to set this off we need an event or events that cause people to realize the revolution has officially begun.”

ESKRIDGE discussed how three companies owned everything and discussed how specific executives at large U.S. corporations were involved. ESKRIDGE then advised that “if a person [was] to be a target of an event we need to make sure it’s someone that can’t be easily turned into a right vs left thing we want someone both sides would celebrate.” ESKRIDGE then
stated, “[another prominent business executive] is a very good target he fits the bill for someone
both sides would cheer and support us for taking out.”

At the same time ESKRIDGE mentioned taking out “[another prominent business
executive],” he stated (screenshot below):Image

Overthinking is a spiritual disease.

It has a name in Islam. And a very specific cure.
Overthinking has a name in Islam. It's called Waswas - (وسواس). The whispering.

Allah mentioned it in the Quran: "From the evil of the whisperer who withdraws - who whispers in the hearts of mankind." (An-Nas: 4-5).
That loop in your head that won't stop? Islam named it and gave you the cure 1400 years before anxiety was a clinical term.
