Good morning. Trump’s H-1B visa twist turned airports into chaos bingo: flights from India to the U.S. now cost more than a crypto gamble, with economy seats hitting $2k as tech pros race policy deadlines. Think Black Friday meets *Home Alone* sprinting at Delhi and JFK. Travel agents call it “extremely bad” – like spilling chai on your laptop before a Zoom meeting bad.

Good morning. In a plot twist worthy of a legal drama, India’s Supreme Court swatted away a union’s bid to revoke a Christian NGO’s foreign funding license, quipping, “If they’re helping grannies and disaster victims, why’s it your pickle?” The judges, unimpressed by claims of religious conversion schemes, told critics to let regulators handle FCRA audits—not random petitioners. Cue debates on foreign-aid oversight: same script, new courtroom scene. MARKET ▼ SENSEX 82626.23 -0.47% ▼ NIFTY 50...

Good morning. In a plot twist worthy of a corporate whodunit, India’s market watchdog SEBI just gave the Adani Group a regulatory all-clear, dismissing Hindenburg’s explosive 2023 fraud claims after a 22-month probe. While Adani’s stocks recover from their $150B nosedive, critics eye SEBI’s secretive playbook, and supporters toast a victory lap. Turns out, not every financial storm leaves scorch marks.

Good morning. India’s economic playbook is hitting "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" again, loading a post-GST system update to reboot industries with digital hubs, AI, and smoother logistics. But glitches loom: think state-level squabbles, rural tech gaps, and budget buffering. It’s a bold bid for a “future-ready” economy, though experts warn it’s less *fast travel* and more *team quest*—success hinges on inclusive design and cooperative gameplay.

Good morning. PM Modi, campaigning in Bihar’s border hotspot Seemanchal, doubled down on his “no vacancy” policy for undocumented migrants, framing it as a security necessity while accusing rivals of playing “infiltrator bingo” for votes. Critics argue the rhetoric overshadows nuanced migration challenges, turning citizenship debates into a high-stakes political rodeo where real lives hang in the balance. Borders tighten, tensions rise—your move, 2025. MARKET ▼ SENSEX 81785.74 -0.15% ▼ NIFTY...

Good morning. Imagine buying a couch on layaway, but for your dream home: India’s Supreme Court just mandated that developers register new housing projects with authorities once buyers pay 20%, putting builders on “house arrest” to curb delays or phantom developments. Buyers gain transparency, authorities track taxes, and everyone’s reminded that accountability isn’t just a deposit—it’s the foundation.

Good morning. Odisha’s civil services exam topper Aswini Kumar Panda, celebrated for acing public service theory, flunked the practical—allegedly pocketing ₹15,000 mid-interrogation. Turns out, “merit” has a price tag. The scandal, blending irony and audacity, raises questions about integrity in governance. For taxpayers funding these roles, it’s a costly reminder: even top-rankers can fail Ethics 101. Stay skeptical, folks. MARKET ▲ SENSEX 81904.7 0.44% ▲ NIFTY 50 25114 0.43% ▲ NASDAQ...

Good morning. Trade wars, the gift that keeps on giving: The EU just played diplomatic goalie against Trump’s proposed 100% tariffs on Indian goods a move once described as "a bull in a policy china shop." Now, stocks like Apollo Tyres, Arvind (textile swagger meets sneaker steps), and TCS (code warriors rejoice) could dodge trade spats, offering investors a breather and proof that strained alliances have real-world receipts.
