Mallya was the only son of the successful but frugal beverage entrepreneur Vittal Mallya. While his father lived in Bangalore, running his breweries, Vijay was raised by his mother in Calcutta.

Covid-19: India Lifts Ban on hydroxychloroquine export

India’s export ban covered Hydroxychloroquine as well. Why is the US demanding to lift the ban? They say ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’ and this indeed is a true definition of a friend.

We don’t tend to educate you regarding the philosophy behind friendship, but this is important to understand the current state of relations between India and the US.

Union Budget 2020: Highlights, Analysis & Opinion

Union Budget 2020 was presented by our FM. Did it meet our expectations? A man resided in a desert along with his Camel. The conditions that were already harsh were slowly getting worse, and it was tough for both of them to sustain. The camel had faithfully serviced his master for long so, it had high hopes that the master would take good care of it. Finally, a day came when they had to start their journey in order to shift to the nearest city. Before starting the long journey, the camel had to eat in bulk and the Camel expected a satiating treat. But, alas! The man offered some Cumin seeds (Jeera in Hindi) to the camel and started the journey. Now imagine the desert as economy, the man as the government and the camel as common people.
