The Internet didn’t start in Silicon Valley.

A genius dropout didn’t invent it.

It wasn’t even made for the public.

The Internet was born in a Cold War lab, by the US military, to survive a nuclear war.

And its real story is WILDER than fiction.

Let’s break it down:

The US Pentagon quietly activated a network called ARPANET.

No fanfare. No press.

Just 4 computers.

This wasn’t a tech experiment.

It was a weapon of survival.

What Block Deals Are Telling You Before the Market Opens?

Tomorrow, ₹3,480 crore will quietly change hands.

Block Deals Tomorrow

INDEGENE – ₹1,420 Cr
TATA TECHNOLOGIES – ₹635 Cr
ABFRL – ₹600 Cr
ALKEM – ₹825 Cr

Here’s what most investors ignore about block deals and the difference between BULK vs BLOCK deals

Bookmark and retweet this thread to revisit it laterImage What are Block Deals?

Imagine two giants at a table.

One says: “I want to buy 1 crore shares of your company.”

The other replies: “Deal. But not in the open market. Let’s not disturb the public.”

They go to the exchange, and the trade is executed in a special “block window” before the market opens.

Quiet. Clean. Massive.

Why does a Toyota Land Cruiser cost ₹1.5 Crore in India but just ₹45 Lakh in the UAE?

Same car. Same company. Same engine.

What’s changing the price?

Let me show you how taxes and policy tricks silently rob you.

A thread you’ll never forget:

Bookmark and retweet this thread to revisit it laterImage In India, the Land Cruiser LC200 touched a jaw-dropping ₹1.5 Crore.

Why?

Because India imposes import duties of over 100% on Completely Built Units (CBUs).

Add luxury tax, and your ₹70L car becomes ₹1.5Cr overnight.

This isn’t pricing.
It’s punishment.

Step-by-Step Guide on When and How to Sell a Stock

Over 95% of investors never sell at the right time.

1. Strategic Selling
Done when your original goal is met.
You’re not reacting, you’re exiting with discipline.

3. Tactical Selling

Why our government removed the ₹2000 note and how it connects to terrorism, counterfeit networks, and black money

In 2023, RBI announced the withdrawal of ₹2000 notes.

So why does this still matter?

Fake currency, terror funding, and untraceable hoards of black cash.

But: “Is this stock good at this price, in this market, when everyone already loves it?”
