An extremely disappointing experience with @croma_retail and the Tata brand.
I bought a television for my parents from Croma on December 14, 2024. I also purchased an additional insurance plan, trusting that if something went wrong, I would be protected.
On October 20, 2026, the TV stopped working.
After 15 days of follow-ups, assurances that parts would be replaced, and waiting for a resolution, I am now being told that the TV cannot be repaired.
Their proposed solution? Reimburse the cost of the television and when I asked what will happen to the ₹16,000 I paid for insurance?
No answer. That money is gone.
So, I paid for a television, paid extra to protect it, the television stopped working in less than two years, and now I’m expected to accept a reimbursement while swallowing the entire insurance cost.
What about the 15 days without a TV?
What about the repeated follow-ups?
What about the inconvenience?
And most importantly, what was the point of buying insurance in the first place?
Dear @cromaretail @tata_neu @TataCompanies Group, is this how you want customers to remember your brand?
A customer who trusted you deserves better than this.
I sincerely hope someone from the leadership team steps in and makes this right.

Looks like Australia is indeed cooked
BREAKING: Australia could face diesel rationing within weeks and prices above A$4 a litre, nearly 40% above today, if the US goes ahead with its export ban, the most worrying development in global fuel markets since the war began, per MST Marquee's head of energy research.
Australia is the world's largest importer of diesel in absolute terms, accounting for 1% of global fuel demand but 10% of the world's seaborne diesel imports, and it runs an economy weighted to agriculture and mining. A ban could force the government to stage 3 and 4 of its National Fuel Security Plan, which covers demand reduction and directed allocation of supply.
The US exports about 1.3 million barrels of diesel a day, a quarter of its refining output, and has been covering the gap left as Russia and China stopped exporting refined fuels.
The UK is now preparing rationing plans of its own, with 42 days of diesel left as of July.

In comparisons to other countries Aust is now sticking out as having a more serious inflation problem in a way it didnt in 2022 & 2023. This requires a tougher RBA but also serious change by the Govt to fix it up = less public spending & less regulation (incl for the labour mkt)
14 months ago I stopped having an institution to hide behind.
Best thing that ever happened to my thinking.
No safety net sharpens your attention fast.
Started noticing who was getting replaced — and why.
A lot of them specialists I used to manage at the bank.
Never smarter competition. Always tools they ignored.
Three things I'm stacking now: clear thinking, agency, then systems.
Could be wrong. But the order feels important.

Everyone told me to stack assets. Property. Shares. The standard playbook.
The guys making real money now? They're skill rich. A business owner creating content. A solo entrepreneur running ops with AI. An agency owner automating customer service through voice agents.
That's what AI can't copy. A stack it doesn't recognize as a thing.

Your parents told you to specialize. Pick one thing. Get really good at it. Made sense when industries moved slowly.
Now AI can replace a specialist overnight. One update and your career becomes a feature.
I think the people building real wealth aren't going deeper. They're stacking skills that don't make sense together until they do.

For years I sat with my kids doing homework every night.
Making sure the curriculum was covered. Every box ticked.
I'm genuinely not sure that's right anymore.
Skills the world needs change every decade. The one thing that doesn't: the curiosity to keep acquiring them.
Curious kids become skill stackers naturally. They don't need to be taught - they need to be shown.
I'm still figuring out which one I've actually been doing.

The corporate world takes someone built to hunt and puts them in a cage.
Not to punish them. To make them comfortable enough to stop seeking freedom.
A predictable routine. A predictable paycheck. A predictable life. After enough years, the cage doesn't feel like a cage anymore. It feels like safety.
The dangerous part isn't staying. It's that the longer you stay, the more unfamiliar the outside becomes. Not because you can't survive out there. But because you've forgotten you were built for it.
If the cage feels comfortable, that's not peace. That's adaptation.

My 6-year-old asked me if his lunch was healthy. Nobody taught him that.
I worry about what world my kids grow up in. The pace of tech. What jobs will even exist.
Then your kid surprises you with a question you never planned for. And you realize they're already figuring it out.
