🏠 The Conspiracy to Break India’s Joint Family System

  When Families Break, Markets Flourish In the name of modernity, we’ve traded warmth for Wi-Fi, wisdom for algorithms, and relationships for subscriptions. But this wasn’t just a cultural drift—it was a calculated shift. 🧭 What Was India’s Greatest Strength? For centuries, India stood resilient. Mughals came. The British ruled. But one thing remained unshaken: The Joint Family System. It was our real social security —no pensions, no loneliness, no mental health epidemics. Grandparents were guides. Cousins were companions. Festivals were shared, not streamed. 🧠 Why Did the West Dislike This? Western economies thrive on individualism and consumption . But in India, where people shared, reused, and lived collectively, the market couldn’t grow. So a strategy was born: “Break their families. Make everyone lonely. Then everyone becomes a customer.” πŸ“Ί How Was This Attack Carried Out? Media portrayed joint families as quarrelsome and outdated Nuclear families we...

🌾 The Boy Who Slept Through the Storm: A Lesson in Preparedness

Once upon a time, near the coastal edge of a village, there lived a farmer whose life depended entirely on his field. The land was fertile, but the skies were unpredictable. Floods and hurricanes visited often, and each time, they brought fear, damage, and sleepless nights. The farmer knew he couldn’t manage alone. He needed help—not just to sow and reap, but to protect what he had built when the winds turned wild. πŸ§‘‍🌾 The Search for a Helping Hand He interviewed many—strong men, clever boys, experienced workers. None felt right. Then one day, a lean, sorrowful-looking boy came asking for work. The farmer hesitated. Could this boy handle the storms? But with no better option, he agreed. The boy accepted—with one strange condition: “When the storm comes, I sleep deeply. Other times, I’ll work as needed.” 🌩️ The Night of the Storm Weeks passed. One night, the skies roared. Rain lashed the earth. Floodwaters rose. The farmer woke in panic and rushed to the boy’s hu...

☔ Rain, Ride, and the Biometric Machine:

Some people believe the weather is random. I believe it has a wicked sense of timing—especially during office hours. 🌧️   Morning Madness: The Ride to Remember It all begins with a drizzle. I gear up, hop on my bike, and head toward the office like a determined warrior. But the moment I hit the main road— boom —the skies open up like someone hit the “monsoon mode” switch. Puddles splash, my raincoat flaps like a superhero cape, and visibility drops to “guess and go.” By the time I reach the office, I’m soaked, squelching with every step. I walk in like a waterlogged legend and stood in front of the biometric scanner.   And just like that... the rain stops. Coincidence? I think not. πŸ•’ The Great Biometric Rain Switch It’s almost as if the rain was waiting for me to clock in. I imagine a weather god somewhere chuckling, “Alright, he’s in. Turn it off.” The day goes on. Files, meetings, coffee. The sun peeks out. Birds chirp. I start to believe the worst is over. But th...
