October 31st, 1923, London, England

Out of the parties the Porters were known for, it was their Halloween party they were infamous for, and anyone who was anybody was invited, not just friends and acquaintances. Byron thought it amusing, seeing everyone dressed up in elegant costumes that likely cost a pretty penny. They ranged from cute, like Wilhelmina’s ladybug ensemble, to well, his sister’s extremely accurate gown of Empress Elisabeth of Austria she’d made herself. He had not a clue where she’d gotten such a fine wig, nor did he want to know. 

Of course, Byron was less focused on the party, but rather the two women who were talking near his sister and her paramour. He’d never seen them before, but the woman dressed as a Greek god looked rather familiar, though he couldn’t place why.

“I wonder who those lovely ladies are.”

Montgomery, who’d been in a sour mood for most of the night, turned his head and looked generally surprised. “Oh, don’t ya even think ‘bout it.”

“What? You know Miss Dionysus?”

“That’s Miss Eleora Balass.”

“...Like the Richer-Than-God Baghdadi Jew Balasses?”

“Aye. I’m her father’s personal physician.”

“You? Salim Balass’ personal doctor? He’s everything you are politically against.”

“I think he likes havin’ someone who isn’t afraid to speak their mind. We get into such arguments, and I’m afraid I’ve pushed too far, and he’ll fire me, but then the next day he’ll invite me to lunch and we’ll laugh over it.”

The Balass family were one of the wealthiest families in the world—Salim Balass being the fourth richest man in Europe, and listed as one of the top twenty wealthiest men in the world. They had made their fortune as merchant and traders, rising to power in the Mughal Empire before moving their base of operations to India after being forced to flee Baghdad in the early 19th century, where they established control over the Indian cotton industry, moving to Great Britain as their home in the late 1880s. 

“Well, what’s Miss Balass like?”

Montgomery sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “No.”

Byron couldn’t help but smirk. “Introduce me. I’ll force you if I must.”

Almost on cue, Miss Balass and her friend turned around, her face lighting up upon recognizing the Scotman’s face, and she waved. “Oh, Dr. MacGregor!”

“Well, I suppose you’ll have to introduce us now, Montgomery.”

“Fuck off.”

“You know the Porters, Dr. MacGregor?” Miss Balass asked.

“Aye, Mr. Porter and I were flatmates many years ago.” He sighed, turning to Byron reluctantly. “May I introduce his grace the Duke of Feldsbury?”

Byron smiled and nodded his head. “A pleasure.”

“A duke? My, my, I wasn’t aware you knew such people.”

The other woman turned to her friend. “I thought you said he was socialist.”

“Oh, he is, don’t worry. Dr. MacGregor is my late sister’s widower. We knew each other far before I was even aware of the Feldsbury title.”

“Oh, Feldsbury! You’re the former army captain one who married the Gardenhouse girl… and well, divorced her too.”

The way she said it was so amusing that Byron couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, I am unwed now.” He turned to Miss Balass’ friend, dressed as Anne Boleyn. “I’m sorry, we haven’t been properly introduced, Miss Boleyn.”

She laughed as Miss Balass blushed. 

“This is Miss Samira Patel. Our fathers were business partners when we were in India, and they still are today. Miss Patel is one of my closest friends. Dr. MacGregor you know is my father’s physician.”

Montgomery smiled at Miss Patel. “Lovely to meet ya.”

Once they moved past pleasantries, the conversation grew much more lively, and as Byron grew enamored with Miss Balass, he could tell Montgomery was quickly warming up to Miss Patel.

In fact, when the quartet took their leave, Byron looked over to Montgomery, Miss Patel holding his arm, and said he planned to spend the night with Miss Balass—in Gaelic of course so the women wouldn’t understand.

The doctor smirked and replied in English, “I think so too.”

“You speak Gaelic, duke?”

He smiled at her. “Would you like to find out what else I speak, Miss Balass?”

She rolled her eyes as she waved for a taxi.

COMMON MISCONCEPTION IN ASTROLOGY AND ALIGNMENT IN ASTROLOGY FOR SUCCESS

The biggest misconception of astrology is that thru vedic astrology remedy one can change his or her fortune like a magic.

Another misconception is that by doing remedy one can get rid of the negative impact of the current situation.

Vedic astrology is a shastra of understanding, and implementing the understanding form of it.

For example : A person not getting a job if DO NOT apply for any job and go for interview then he not going to get job only by doing an astrological remedy.

In another example a person due to his wrong decision comes under heavy debt, took loans and cannot re-pay it back. If the person thinks that by doing remedy, he can pay back the loan easily then every person in the world would do that only.

The astrologer is the one who can be the richest person in the world as he knows the remedy first. The whole economy will collapse if it happens so.

Vedic Astrology shows path of less difficulties and also success, we NEED TO ALIGN ourselves as per the path shown by vedic astrology.

For example : A doctor not doing well in his sphere and was going on very bad day by day. He goes to a vedic astrologer and the astrologer after reading his chart said that his success do not lies in the medical field but in selling fruits or fruits business.

Now if the doctor / the person ALIGN himself as per the saying of the vedic astrologer then he can be successful in his changed career and can make good money, but if he sticks on to his medical field as he has studied medicine then will have to struggle.

In another case a person finds difficulties in getting success in his career, on visiting a vedic astrologer he was asked to go far away from his birth place and then only he can see success.

In another case a person was asked to go abroad for his career or work in any MNCs company in his country only. If he works in a local Indian company then he will face issues.

In another classic example even my readers will laugh loudly ( lol ). A couple goes to an astrologer as they do not have child even after so many years of marriage. The astrologer gave them some remedies and the couple went home happily. After some day the man went to his job in Dubai and his wife was left with his mother in India. Both of them did spend a good amount of money in getting vedic astrological remedy.

So can vedic astrological remedy alone can give them a child birth ? This is the reason why I say vedic astrology is full of understanding.

So with this few examples one can understand that understanding astrology and its remedy is very important than blindly implementing as it is and doing no karma.

Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of the Indian state of Kerala, is home to several temples, with some of them being significant in terms of history, culture, and religious practices. One of the most prominent temples in Thiruvananthapuram is the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple.

Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, located in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram. It is renowned for its architectural beauty, intricate carvings, and historical significance. The temple is known for its strict adherence to tradition and rituals.

One of the distinguishing features of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple is the deity's posture, reclining on the serpent Anantha, representing the cosmic sleep of Lord Vishnu. The temple also gained international attention due to the discovery of immense wealth hidden within its vaults, making it one of the richest religious institutions in the world.

Apart from the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Thiruvananthapuram is also home to other notable temples such as Attukal Bhagavathy Temple, Pazhavangadi Ganapathy Temple, and the Aazhimala Siva Temple, each with its own unique significance and rituals. These temples contribute to the rich cultural and religious heritage of the region.

Architectural Grandeur: The temple showcases a magnificent blend of Dravidian and Kerala architectural styles. The temple's intricate carvings, gopurams (tower gateways), and pillared halls are a testament to the architectural prowess of ancient craftsmen.

Principal Deity: The main deity of the temple is Lord Padmanabhaswamy (Lord Vishnu), depicted in a reclining posture on the serpent Anantha. This is a unique aspect as very few temples in India have this depiction of Lord Vishnu.

Mysterious Vaults: The temple gained international attention due to the discovery of hidden underground vaults containing immense wealth, including gold, jewels, and other treasures. These vaults were long guarded by traditional practices and were opened under court orders in recent years, leading to the temple being recognized as one of the richest religious institutions globally.

Strict Religious Practices: The temple follows strict traditional rituals and practices, maintaining the ancient customs of worship. The rituals are conducted by hereditary priests who have been performing these duties for generations.

Festivals and Rituals: The temple hosts various festivals and rituals throughout the year, attracting devotees from far and wide. The annual Laksha Deepam festival, where thousands of oil lamps are lit, is a particularly grand event celebrated at the temple.

Spiritual Significance: Devotees believe that a visit to the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple is highly auspicious and is believed to bestow blessings and spiritual fulfillment.

Overall, the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram holds immense cultural, religious, and historical significance, making it a cherished landmark in Kerala and a revered pilgrimage destination for Hindus worldwide.

"Thus, the new hostile designs would not cause surprise among those they are targeting, nor, definitely, anger among the educated. The latter never question why some people need to take shelter in the open; we just accept the situation as normal and natural, that the poor deserve no better, and that public facilities are ours alone. When the society is itself hostile to the weakest, hostile architecture seems – not monstrous – but the perfect solution.

India is not likely to see such protests, nor even such a great psychological impact. Because we hardly have any concept of really public spaces anyway, and never had. There were no public spaces, open to all, till the Europeans arrived. The nationalists like to blame European rule for all India’s problems, but it was under their rule that the growing cities were provided the first designed public open spaces, and also the consciousness that these are important for public health. But the Indian governments that have followed have been uncomfortable with such things. Because caste society doesn’t believe in equal access to anything. Hierarchy is the norm here, and public spaces don’t go well with hierarchy. Thus, even pavements (which are used by all, but more by the poor) are seen as a waste here. And Bombay, India’s richest city, which ranks very low in per capita public open space among the world’s cities, and whose streets are full of people sleeping rough in the dead of the night, figures in lists of the world’s most hostile architecture.

The public that is considered worthy of having public facilities here is just the so-called ‘middle class’, which cannot afford the private recreation spaces of the super-elites, but is not much less elite itself, belonging as it does to the top 10-15% of the population in wealth and privilege. That’s why bus stops will have pipes as seating, but not airports – the ‘public’ in the two kinds of public transport is different. That’s also why public open spaces in Indian cities are so few, with none at all in villages – they are aimed at just this 10-15%. And it is this urban educated ‘middle class’ which demands that public spaces charge for entry, and unashamedly asserts that only this will keep unwanted/dirty/rowdy people out."

Rant warning

Topic media literacy, capitalism , this infographic/article:

For context, Google news has figured out that I really like to click on articles with good data visualisations. I just love a meaningful representation of the distribution of anything on a national or global scale, because it's so hard for us to wrap our heads around things at that scale. The visual capitalist puts out tons of these. And a lot of them are good.

But, the challenge here is not only reading the data, to gain a better understanding of what's going on in the world, but figuring out why someone made the graphic in the first place, and then trying to remove their bias to get at the actual valuable information the data gives us.

In this case the initial grab at your attention remotes on the term "family businesses" which we tend to associate with "small business", which everyone agrees is a very good thing. The one jerk after that is "India has the most family businesses, and the US (relevant to me) is doing better than I would have guessed. Then you read the words and numbers and realize that these are some of the biggest and worst companies in the world.

Looking into the article, the author even acknowledged this. They don't say the companies are bad or point out other implications, beyond their economic influence. The articles point is pretty light politically, but valuable for like an investor or someone of that sort.

But, I think it's important to note the impact of their approach. They know that 99% of people's interactions will stop at the first step. "small business is strong, and India is winning at it, but, the US is doing okay". The only people who will go further are the ones who noticed the distribution in wording. We can then read the article and find that out concerns are acknowledged. But the damage is done.

Now for the useful data. The article highlights the amount of wealth and impact that these families have. It presents that as useful investing data. But, I'm person who supports small business, and the value of the average citizen (read socialist). To me it's more useful in understanding where the real wealth hoarding, population subjugating capitalists are. In my opinion, massive family owned businesses, are really the heart of modern oligarchy. You can disagree. But, the article points out that they control more than a quarter of private wealth globally, and far more in the fastest developing markets in the world.

The data in this article is especially valuable to me because family owned businesses are a bit stealthy on the global stage. We get lists and headlines about the richest INDIVIDUALS in the world. But, a large family that's owned one of the largest companies in their country for generations can have far more wealth than the richest individual in that country, without any given family member it showing up on Forbes. What's more, they can have horrendous business practices without their names showing up in headlines, because the company name is more succinct.

This article highlights an Indian family who owns more than 5% of their countries GDP. It also mentions the amount of Us GDP that's owned by family businesses, before giving a short list of the largest ones, without further detail. I could do some quick googling and math to drive my personal views home. But that's not actually the point of this post.

The point is that every article is written with a purpose. Every piece of data is valuable. We all need to learn to look at data from whatever source is presented to us, find the intended purpose of it, even if it's presented as unbiased, peel back the bias, and take the real information. Then, we can start to see the real picture and form our own opinions!

TLDNR: This graphic wants you to think small business is doing well. But, the data inside really says that a few rich people control everything.

Broek in Waterland was a popular vacation village for sea captains in the 1600s. The town has always been famous for its cleanliness. Many 17th and 18th century travel books of foreign travellers mentioned the cleanliness and tidiness of the village. It was visited by emperor Napoleon, but even he was made to wait entering a home there until the floor was proper and clean to walk on

The charming village of Broek in Waterland is located not far from Amsterdam. Being surrounded by water, Broek is among the most picturesque locations in Holland, ranking up there with well-known Dutch "water villages" like Giethoorn.

One of the locations on our half-day Countryside & Windmills trip is Broek in Waterland. In the seventeenth century, Broek in Waterland, now a tiny and rural village of no more than 2500 people, used to compete with great Amsterdam. Its harbor, which was at one point twenty meters deep, allowed large East India vessels to dock here.

The village became known as the richest village of The Netherlands.

In January, after New York-based short seller Hindenburg Research released a report accusing Adani Group of accounting fraud and stock manipulation, the Indian conglomerate defended itself by appealing to nationalism. “This is … a calculated attack on India, the independence, integrity and quality of Indian institutions, and the growth story and ambition of India,” the group said in a 413-page response refuting the allegations.

It is no surprise that Adani Group tied itself to India’s “growth story.” The industrial empire of Gautam Adani, the group’s founder, has been key to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for India, which centers on big infrastructure projects as drivers of growth. In turn, Adani’s support for Modi’s nation-building plans, from airports to green hydrogen plants, has propelled his conglomerate’s meteoric rise. From 2014 to December 2022, Adani Group’s market capitalization soared from $6.5 billion to more than $223 billion.

Hindenburg’s report triggered a sudden reversal, however. The value of Adani Group’s publicly traded stocks soon fell by more than half—a rout that has continued a month after the report’s release. Modi has chosen to remain quiet about the affair, even as it has raised serious questions about India’s economy.

If Adani Group seeks refuge from criticism by tying its success to that of India’s, then the converse must also be reckoned with: The collapse of its shares represents a stress test for India’s growth project. It has cast doubt on whether Modi’s strategy of propping up a few favored corporate titans can translate into lasting results on the ground. And, beyond that, whether Modi’s India can deliver on hopes that it could become a driver of global economic growth, as China was for the past three decades.

Modi’s rise has long been intertwined with that of Adani’s. As chief minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014, Modi made his name through his so-called Gujarat model of development, with its large infrastructure projects, such as dams, extensive highways, and solar power plants. Adani was critical not just to constructing many of these projects but also to bringing big business around to the idea of Modi as a potential prime minister. After Modi was elected in 2014, he flew from Gujarat to his new home of New Delhi in Adani’s private jet.

As Modi became India’s most popular leader since the republic’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, Adani’s business interests expanded. His conglomerate partnered with the government on critical infrastructure projects within India and, increasingly, abroad. Since Modi entered office, Adani’s net worth increased by more than 5,000 percent to $150 billion in September 2022, making him Asia’s richest man before the scandal. His wealth came largely on the back of winning government contracts; expanding into strategic sectors, such as clean energy and defense; and building critical infrastructure projects. For instance, Adani Group secured seven out of the eight airports that the Indian government leased out to private companies. These kinds of contracts, in turn, led to more interest in Adani Group stock from investors.

The government has undoubtedly placed its trust in Adani, but the Hindenburg report could be a stumbling block in Modi’s plans to ensure that India remains the world’s fastest-growing major economy. After the brutal stock rout, the group called off a $2.5 billion share sale and had to delay its expansion plans. A margin call followed, leading Adani to prepay a $1.1 billion loan. Meanwhile, French energy giant TotalEnergies has put on hold a $4 billion investment in an Adani Group green hydrogen project.

Over his tenure, Modi has been unwilling or unable to push through structural reform that would allow more companies to enter new sectors without significant risk-taking. He therefore has no option but to depend on national champions, such as Adani. But even among Indian billionaires, Adani is unique. Very few businesspeople enjoy the government’s confidence, can navigate dizzying state regulation, and, most of all, are willing to risk enormous amounts of capital.

In 2015, Credit Suisse published its House of Debt report, which examined the precarious debt levels of 10 prominent Indian business groups with a significant presence in various infrastructure sectors. Out of the 10 groups, many have ended up in bankruptcy courts in recent years, while others have pursued debt consolidation plans. Only one group—the Adani conglomerate—has continued to borrow and invest at a breathtaking pace.

The Economist has estimated that the combined revenues of companies controlled by Adani and fellow tycoon Mukesh Ambani, chair of India’s Reliance Industries, are equivalent to 4 percent of India’s GDP. Firms controlled by the pair also account for nearly a quarter of the capital spending of all publicly traded non-financial firms.

While many analysts fret over whether Adani Group is too big to fail, the more pertinent question is whether Adani has been too integral to the Indian economic project to fail.

Modi now faces a difficult dilemma. On the one hand, he relies heavily on large infrastructure development delivered by India’s billionaires. For example, Adani plans to develop massive renewable energy projects—and without them, India would find it challenging to fulfill its commitment to meet 50 percent of its energy requirements with renewables by 2030.

On the other hand, if Modi continues to protect Adani—as India’s opposition has alleged—by not addressing Hindenburg’s allegations, he runs the risk of undermining the credibility of India’s corporate governance and, by extension, its growth narrative.

Although India’s financial regulatory institutions are far from perfect, India has an established history of investigating and punishing financial fraud. The Adani Group scandal, however, has cast doubt on the ability of these institutions—such as the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the country’s capital markets regulator—to operate independently.

It’s worth asking whether the Adani saga could have been anticipated, investigated, and defused long before Hindenburg came along if watchdogs had done their job.

Consider, for instance, a puzzling question that Hindenburg has sought to address: What explains the mind-boggling rise in the price of many Adani Group stocks? The price-to-earnings ratio of Adani Enterprises, the conglomerate’s flagship entity, went from 37.6 to 343.9 in just two years. But as experts have pointed out, growth of that nature is typically seen in companies in the technology sector, not brick-and-mortar industries.

There could be innocuous explanations, but the fact that the company’s board of directors didn’t examine the issue publicly opened the door for worrying allegations put forth by Hindenburg. In particular, the short seller has alleged that Adani Group’s stocks are being inflated by the conglomerate itself through secretive offshore entities.

This brings us to the question of what India’s stock market and banking regulators were doing. Long before Hindenburg came along, news outlets had pointed to the existence of three Mauritius-based funds that appeared to only invest in Adani Group companies and whose ultimate ownership was opaque. Why weren’t these funds forced to furnish details of their ownership structure at any point in the last few years and nip allegations of “round-tripping” in the bud?

In addition, SEBI continued to sign off on the conglomerate’s fundraising proposals even though the Indian government disclosed in Parliament in 2021 that SEBI had begun a probe to investigate some Adani Group companies over “non-compliance of rules.” It’s unclear what the scope of the SEBI investigation was and whether it has concluded.

For years, India’s beleaguered political opposition has accused regulatory authorities of corruption and raised allegations of crony capitalism, specifically pointing to Adani. But given the opposition’s lack of specific allegations made against SEBI, it seems more likely that the economy and stock market’s overseers are simply indifferent and plagued by inertia. Regardless, these accusations, and the Adani Group controversy, have not hurt Modi’s popularity, thanks in part to his administration’s tight control over the mainstream media.

Yet there may be consequences that stem from outside of India’s borders. It’s possible that global investors will become less bullish on India if they think that Indian business empires won’t be able to build necessary infrastructure or be reined in by domestic regulatory systems. Overseas partnerships and joint ventures could face headwinds as well, just as the Adani-TotalEnergies partnership has.

A fair, independent, and transparent probe into the allegations against Adani Group could ease these fears. Modi has so far ignored demands for one made by opposition political parties. But continuing to do so could very well be damaging to the long-term economic interests of India, and the world, even if it does not hurt Modi politically in the short term.

India, renowned for its rich biodiversity and traditional herbal medicine systems like Ayurveda, has become a major hub for the supply of botanical extracts to the global market. With an increasing demand for natural products in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics, Indian suppliers have emerged as reliable sources for a wide variety of botanical extracts. These suppliers are well-equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, strong quality control measures, and a deep understanding of plant-based healing. In this article, we will explore the role of Botanical Extracts Supplier From India and why they are gaining global prominence.

What Are Botanical Extracts?

Botanical extracts are concentrated forms of plants or herbs obtained through different extraction methods such as cold pressing, solvent extraction, or distillation. These extracts contain the active compounds that provide therapeutic benefits and are widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food and beverages, cosmetics, and personal care products. Popular botanical extracts from India include turmeric, ashwagandha, moringa, neem, tulsi (holy basil), and aloe vera, to name a few.

Why India is a Leading Supplier of Botanical Extracts?

Abundant Biodiversity

India is home to over 15,000 species of medicinal plants, making it one of the richest sources of botanical extracts in the world. This biodiversity allows Indian suppliers to offer a wide range of products suited to various industries. Whether it’s the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric or the adaptogenic qualities of ashwagandha, India’s diverse ecosystem provides access to high-quality plants that are in high demand worldwide.

Traditional Knowledge and Ayurveda

India’s long-standing tradition of using herbs and plants for healing has been passed down through generations, primarily through the Ayurvedic system of medicine. Ayurvedic formulations are increasingly being validated by modern science, giving Indian botanical extracts a competitive edge in the global market. Suppliers in India often collaborate with Ayurvedic experts to create extracts that are not only effective but also safe for consumption and use.

Advanced Extraction Technology

Indian botanical extract suppliers have invested heavily in advanced extraction technologies to meet international standards. These technologies include Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE), cold pressing, and solvent extraction techniques that preserve the integrity and potency of the plant’s active ingredients. By utilizing state-of-the-art facilities, Indian suppliers ensure that their extracts meet the highest quality and safety standards required by the global market.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

To cater to the global demand, Indian suppliers adhere to stringent quality control measures. They ensure that their botanical extracts meet international certifications such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), ISO, and USDA Organic. Additionally, suppliers often implement eco-friendly and sustainable sourcing methods to ensure minimal environmental impact, which is increasingly valued by global customers.

Applications of Botanical Extracts from India

Indian botanical extracts find applications across a wide range of industries:

Pharmaceuticals: Many Indian botanical extracts are used in the formulation of natural medicines. Extracts like ashwagandha, turmeric, and neem are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties.

Nutraceuticals: Botanical extracts are a key ingredient in dietary supplements. Extracts such as moringa and tulsi are valued for their rich nutritional content and are used in supplements that promote overall health and well-being.

Cosmetics and Personal Care: Botanical extracts from India, such as aloe vera and turmeric, are popular in the cosmetic industry. These extracts are incorporated into skincare, haircare, and personal care products due to their anti-aging, moisturizing, and healing properties.

Food and Beverages: Some botanical extracts are used as natural flavors or preservatives in food and beverage products. For example, turmeric extract is not only used for its health benefits but also as a natural coloring agent.

Conclusion

India’s botanical extracts suppliers play a vital role in bringing the healing power of nature to the world. With a unique combination of biodiversity, traditional knowledge, and modern extraction techniques, Indian suppliers are well-positioned to meet the growing global demand for high-quality botanical extracts. As industries continue to shift toward natural, plant-based solutions, the role of India in this space will only become more prominent, providing safe and effective extracts to consumers worldwide.
