1/ #ChinaUSMyTake China cannot take on the world. China can bully small nations with debt trap but not the big ones. IS on the other hand is used to deploying huge forces and being humiliated. It has massive experience in handling such events. China on the other hand is just a
2/ #ChinaUSMyTake Strong street bully with money who has only one way to handle world, BULLY. Bullying has shelf life. Diplomacy is long lasting. China May invade Taiwan and capture it but it may end up paying such a heavy cost that other than its nose and arrogance nothing may
3/ #ChinaUSMyTake matter. Chinas East coast has a chain of nations that can be classified as ‘enemy’. It will hardly take for powers to form an alliance and land lock it. US has 100 years of offensive naval deployment experience VS nil of China. I think China is biting more than
4/ #ChinaUSMyTake it can chew. Chinese hype and propaganda is juvenile. Parading tanks on beach while tourists are enjoying displays it’s childishness. Flooding social media with clips of Air Force etc. reminds me of Ukraine. US on the other side is still analysing Putins
5/ threat of hypersonic missiles. It also is busy analysing Irans nuclear threat. It also is aware of Russian-Chinese warming up in past few years. Where does India stand? I will say at its strongest. Except China, no country is hostile. Pakistan to us should become non existent
6/ Threats, aggressive words, posturing and propaganda have become hallmark of China. In a country with strict one child law, a casualty or two or ten may be accepted, beyond that China will have to fight at home front too. As it is, people are not too happy with Government.
7/ US and the world knows it. A bully China needs to be brought to knees. One does not have to use armed forces. US will hit where it hurts most. Commerce, Shipping, Air Cargo and imports. If it can sustain it for six months, China is done. All it has to do is draw
8/Last out Chinese navy from its bases into deep sea, be out of their air power reach and still cripple China. Taiwan is the ‘reason’ for US’s 5th Generation War against China like Ukraine is the ‘reason’ for Russias #5thGenWar against NATO-US.
US not IS
9/ Continuing thread. 03/07/2022 #ChinaUSMyTake #5thGenWar While experts plan Chinas Operation Taiwan using Second World War strategies or US’s Vietnam or Afghanistan adventures, we need to focus on 5th Generation War. #5thGenWar will never be fought on own landmass, it will not
10/ #ChinaUSMyTake #5thGenWar be fought by armed forces, it will not be a conventional war and it will not be a direct war. #5thGenWar has two opponents and each has his own concept of his own 5thGenWar. They will cripple opponent militarily, economically, diplomatically,
11/ #ChinaUSMyTake #5thGenWar will target population to rise against leadership, cause immense destruction to be remembered historically and launch relentless attacks on every crucial aspect required to run a nation. 5thGenWar requires a reason. Here US has a reason to get after
12/#ChinaUSMyTake #5thGenWar China, which is Taiwan. China has no reason to take on US since it’s objective Is Taiwan. Add to the woes of China the countries affected by its aggressive stance in South China Sea. China would like to seek contact war, US will deny it and get into
13/#ChinaUSMyTake #5thGenWar non-contact war mode and will have massive initiative and reason to unleash its #USChina5thGenWar on China. Chinese leadership comes out as quite impulsive and arrogant. It will pay heavy price for Taiwan misadventure. US on the other side,
14/#ChinaUSMyTake #5thGenWar after international humiliation after humiliation will seek to establish its ascendancy. I don’t see them fighting. Looks to be more of gnashing teeth. Will write more.
And gnashing teeth it is!

1/ This thread is not for pity. It is to let all hypocrites slap themselves. #VeteranSoldier Yesterday I was in Hyderabad. Went to Sainik Board which is under Rajya Sainik Board. As I was leaving and negotiating with an auto guy I heard, JAI HIND SAHAB from behind.
2/ #VeteranSoldier I am into 16th year of retirement, I keep beard, hair 50% white and was sure the guy said this to someone else. I turned to see a soldier in blue safari suit, cap facing and saluting me. I looked at him and said instantaneously, ‘Basant Lal Mandal’, ‘yes Sir’
3/ #VeteranSoldier he said. This had to be miracle. Last we both met was in 1999. 23 years, he had recognised me by my haircut and walk, I recognised him by face. It was electrifying. Basant was a recruit under me when I was Battery Commander, a Major. I had trained them.

1/ If you don’t hate me for writing this thread, you are a good human being.
#TeaTheGreatDivider
Ever looked at the simple cup of ‘tea’ as the greatest divider, destroyer and disintegrator of ‘private’ Indian society?

While in public ‘tea’ single handedly unites people at tea
2/
#TeaTheGreatDivider stalls, bus stops, markets, footpaths, outside offices and under a tree, the same tea is biggest ‘weapon’ to show a person his ‘place’ much lower than yours.

Tea to house-helps in the morning is made in one of following ways:
3/ #TeaTheGreatDivider

-Your leftover in sieve brewed tea leaves hard boiled with water, milk and sugar.
Or
-same above with half or quarter tea spoon of fresh tea leaves
Or
-special cheap tea brought for house-helps

In any case the households tea is ‘out of bounds’.

1/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil What is there to ‘celebrate’ today, 26 Jul? Kargil? Do you even understand that there was no victory? Victory belonged to whom? Who was ‘defeated’? Are you celebrating 537 Killed soldiers? Are you celebrating 1000+disabled soldiers?
2/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil Fo you have courage to lock your eyes with widows of Kargil? Can you even establish eye contact with children of dead soldiers? What in name of hell is VIJAY DIWAS? Tomorrow an intruder comes in your home, violates your women & family
3/ #IHateCELEBRATINGKargil #AntithesisKargil …forces you to fight, your family members die, are injured and are raped now you fight and throw out the intruder. Once he is cleared from your home, will you and your village ‘celebrate’ the event? Or will you first find out how did

1/ COST CUTTING FOURTH SUCCESS
Read threads with #SelfPublishing #CostCutting #UnderTheSun to understand cost cutting in self-publishing. When we started we were demoralised at Rs 6.1 lacs that came as cost to publish our book.
2/ #SelfPublishing #CostCutting #UnderTheSun Established publishers either did not want to touch a new author with a barge pole or wanted us to ‘bear cost’.

We were not ready to dilute the standards we had set for ourselves:
-Made In India paper (99% novels use imported paper).
3/ #SelfPublishing #CostCutting #UnderTheSun
-Highly acclaimed editor.
-Latest printing machines.
-YOUTH as designers for our cover art.
-High quality typesetters.
-E Commerce logistics providers
And more…

We toiled & found out cheaper ways. We simply decided to SELF PUBLISH.

1/ This thread had over 34,000 likes and I received over 800 replies. I tried to reply to each but could not handle volume. #MyDaughter is a proud mother and the baby will be two years this August. This thread probably will blow your minds off. How fit a woman is after delivery?
2/ #MyDaughter After becoming a proud mother in Aug 2020 and giving herself 6-8 months to regain health, she decided to do something she had never done in life. Run. She is an avid yoga fan but running??? Impossible. In Feb 2021 she met few of her friends who would run regularly.
3/ #MyDaughter At 31 yrs age, never having run in life she joined her friends in running. By Jun 2021 she had an app that guided how to develop into a good runner. By Sep 2021 she decided to take part in Half Marathon. 2km running became 3, then 4 then 7 and increased.
