I live in a 2 BHK in Mumbai.

And last month my electricity bill was ₹7,672.

I decided to dig into the details to see where the money is going.

The result was frustrating.

Almost 50% of my bill has nothing to do with the power I used.

Here is the breakdown of the "hidden" costs:

1/ The Journey (Wheeling Charges): ₹1,617.

This covers the distance the electricity travels from the plant to my meter.

2/ The Taxes (Electricity Duty + State Tax): ₹1,184.

We are still being taught that Kalidasa was the Shakespeare of India.

Kalidasa existed 1000 years before Shakespeare. A full millennium.

So why do we define the original by the sequel? Why do we name the ancestor after the descendant?

It's like calling the sun the "lightbulb of the sky."

And it doesn't stop there. Samudra Gupta is called the Napoleon of India.

But check the timeline. He lived 1500 years before Napoleon.

But there was a time when the Indian Rupee was the king of the Gulf.

Dubai. Oman. Kuwait. Bahrain.

All of them used Indian currency for their daily trade.

But that dominance ended because of two big mistakes.

The first mistake was a massive gold smuggling loop.

Gold was cheap in the Gulf but expensive in India.
