You scroll more in a day than your ancestors walked in a week.

Every 24 hours, the average person scrolls the equivalent of four Mount Everests.

That's over 23,000 feet of content… every single day.

This is not just killing your attention span.

It’s rewriting the future of humanity.

And why the algorithm is your new God.

In 2006, the average human attention span was 12 seconds.

By 2023, it dropped to just 7.4 seconds—shorter than a goldfish.

What caused it?

Not just short-form content.

Back then, that was all you needed to start investing in India.

His inspiration? Peter Drucker.

The biggest scam in Indian stock market history didn’t involve fraudsters outside the system.

It was engineered from within.

Here’s how the ₹50,000 Cr NSE co-location scam unravelled and why NSE just offered ₹1,388 Cr to quietly settle it.

Bookmark and retweet this thread to revisit it laterImage What is the NSE co-location scam?

In 2009, the NSE launched a co-location facility, allowing brokers to place their servers within NSE’s data centre.

This gave them microsecond access to live market data. Legal on paper.

But what followed was pure market manipulation.

In just 48 hours after the first Israeli strikes on Iran, crude prices jumped 11%.

Why does that matter?
Because India imports 85% of its oil.

When that oil crosses $90/barrel, your petrol bill isn’t the only thing exploding.

Your food, rent, stocks, and salary all feel the heat.

Here’s howImage India’s shipping routes rely on peace in the Persian Gulf.

But with Iran firing back, and Israel targeting a key energy hub

The Strait of Hormuz, through which 30% of the world's oil flows, becomes a battleground.

Result?
Tanker rates rise.
Insurance premiums spike.
Indian ports slow down.

924 km.
5 ports.
₹60,000 crore.

India’s longest coastal rail line is coming to Gujarat, and it might quietly do what highways and airports never could.

Why is this a game-changer?

Because currently:

* 95% of Indian trade by volume moves through the sea
* But only a fraction of port cargo moves by rail
* Rail logistics are up to 40% cheaper than trucks

A 1% reduction in India’s logistics costs = ₹1.5 lakh crore saved annually

What’s coming isn’t just a railway. It’s a transformation.Image Gujarat’s 1600 km coastline is India’s longest.

Yet, most of it remains disconnected from rail infrastructure.

Moving cargo from Gujarat’s ports inland involves long truck routes, traffic jams, and time loss.

But the upcoming 924 km Coastal Rail Line aims to change that

They nationalised everything.
Forced collectivised farming.
Launched Soviet-style Five-Year Plans.

The Internet didn’t start in Silicon Valley.

A genius dropout didn’t invent it.

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.
