Let's work together to keep the conversation civil. Never mind its smashing stock-market debut, Nykaa leaves much room for improvement. The RBI has finally launched its scheme to allow small retail investors to actively trade in government securities.
With the state guaranteeing your investment, it seems like a no-brainer to put your money into gilts. But there are very real tax and interest rate risks. The story of the upcoming Assembly elections is not so much about the ruling BJP, which seems to be in no discomfort, but the state of its opponents, which appears disunited and bereft of an ideology.

Madras High Court dismissing plea seeking special recruitment drive for the transgender community is a recent example of how the judiciary merely pays lip service and refuses to walk the talk on bringing a change.
Should cheering for opposition teams be considered a criminal act? Two experts debate. Barely 10 years old, Nykaa has created a niche for itself in the retail cosmetics, fashion and beauty space.

Small Medium Large. Sholay-inspired sidecar to save lives of tribals in Palghar. As Covid spreads into the interiors of the country, where healthcare systems are crumbling and people are succumbing to the disease without timely medical intervention, a much-needed innovation looks to provide some succour in rural Maharashtra.
Barely km from Mumbai, in the Palghar region, which has a sizeable tribal population, Niranjan Aher, 35, who runs the NGO Alert Citizens Forum, has helped to introduce motorbike ambulances.
It took a month-and-a-half for them to launch two Unicorn Honda two-wheeler motorbikes with an engine of CC each. It also has a facility to provide oxygen to those who need it and can accommodate three patients at a time.
Niranjan says that if a relative is accompanying the ambulance rider then the person can keep an eye on the patient. A trained paramedic will now be assigned as a bike rider for these ambulances. But a little red barn? As a sidecar? I'm very confused by this, for sure. It just doesn't make sense to me at all. And the fact that this little sidecar is actually just being used for this old guy's dog is also kind of silly.
Not only is it a doggy car which is fine but what makes this guy think that his dog wants to be hanging out in a red barn? Sure, it is cute but you can't deny that it's pretty silly too. How many of you grew up watching Thomas The Tank Engine?
I know I did. I was actually amazed recently to discover that the show is still running! It's a different style, but it still exists. Anyway, one of Thomas' friends is Henry. He is the number 3 and is a pretty high-strung engine. Apparently, he is "based on a Stainer Class 5 engine", according to the Thomas And Friends website. Now, I do not know what it is that goes through someone's mind to make them get a train engine as a sidecar, but this is the world we live in.
Alright, I have no idea what this is all about but this is a very real motorbike sidecar. I cannot grasp what would possess someone to do this to themselves but here we are. I mean, sure, it seems like you could fit a few people in this sidecar but the bloody thing is bigger than the bike! And then when you get to the design I think the owner needed someone who understood complimentary colors when getting this thing made.
Of course, not everyone likes to bother making sure that what they do isn't totally silly, which this is definitely an example of. I cannot even begin to understand what must have been going on in the mind of this biker. I mean, if you want a hippie van, why not fork the money out for the van itself?
I honestly would not be surprised if it would actually be considerably cheaper to just buy the "shaggin' wagon" than it would be to have a sidecar designed and built in the likeness of one of these classic VW vans. And imagine how much slower this sidecar makes the bike. It is by no means aerodynamic. Not with that flat face on it, that's for darn sure. Well, if nothing else this sidecar at least looks pretty classy.
That being said, it even has a fake steering wheel in it that I think might get in the way of the passenger who, for whatever reason, might like to actually ride in this completely silly sidecar. I do have to admit that the sidecar at least does work well with the bike in that it actually does match, which is much more than can be said for a great number of the sidecars in this article.
That is a pretty good redeeming quality with this sidecar but that doesn't change the fact that it is still silly. The first thing I have to say here is that I sincerely hope that this sidecar was not actually designed or made or owned by John Leenders.
For those of you who do not know, John Leenders is a Canadian furniture maker who uses all sorts of unsuspecting materials to create his interesting pieces. But I have to say that they all look far superior to this ridiculous sidecar. I hope it was just a fan who used strange pieces to build this silly sidecar who decided to put Leenders' name on the unfortunate contraption. Otherwise, I now have reason to be very disappointed by Leenders' work.
This is perhaps the silliest sidecar in the entire article. Actually, I will confirm that this is the silliest sidecar in this article, for sure. I mean, it's not meant to be silly. It's a racing sidecar, the rider of which is meant to help balance and steer the actual racing bike. But just imagine, if you will, that the man above in the sidecar slipped his left hand No thank you!
This is just plain silly. This is an interesting one. I guess it is important to note that at least the bike matches the exact same amount of silliness as the sidecar. It's strange though. This sidecar looks a lot like a really awful box-shaped Ford Mustang from the 90s mixed with a Toyota Tercel from the same era. And I have to say that both cars are pretty poor choices when it comes to designing anything after but I really do not understand just how it could be seen as anything but silly to do this to a sidecar.
But who am I to say that there's such a thing as common sense? Looking at both the bike and sidecar here, I cannot help but feel the sidecar would be far better off if it was just simply made into a three-wheeled buggy that didn't need to be attached to a bike at all.
It looks like it originally was a three-wheeler. If it was, then why modify it to be nothing more than a sidecar? And if this was built specifically to be a sidecar then I have to say that no one will really notice the bike because of this silly yellow monstrosity.
Maybe that's what the owner wants, but it won't be because of how awesome people think the sidecar is When it comes to this yellow monstrosity, at least I can say that the bike actually looks quite nice.
Mainly because, from this angle anyway, I can actually see it. However, from the right side of the bike all you would be able to see is this gigantic yellow space-age escape-pod-style sidecar. And I have to point out that the front of this sidecar looks an awful lot like a giant bottle opener.
I'm not sure what the significance is of this front end but it does make me chuckle quite a bit thinking about some giant cracking a bottle of beer on the front end of this ludicrous sidecar. I'm going to throw it out there and guess that this bike and sidecar hail from Scotland, and if they do not then the owner of them is at the very least a big fan of Scotland. Why do I say this? Because there is a blue and white cross of St. Andrew on the front of the sidecar.
There is also a lion there which may mean they don't just support Scotland. Either way, this sidecar looks like a sort of monorail or gondola-style sidecar. I cannot imagine trying to balance this when riding the bike Ok, cards on the table here, I actually don't care how silly this sidecar is.
And it is certainly a silly sidecar. I just happen to also think that this sidecar is pretty awesome. It's got that wicked classic car feel with that added hotrod element that is accented by the red overtop of the wheels against the silver of the rest of the car.
