Yes, cheaper than India. And how does it matter which one (or more) of the 4 fathers it is this time round.... It's a rhetorical question.

Result of some late night stern talking by the current FM and future caretaker of bakistan Yawn - Govt hikes petrol, diesel prices by Rs 19 Still considerably cheaper than in India or for that matter the US which is around $4/gallon or little upwards of $1/l.

They could do it by sending us the terrorists instead, and to limit anti-India terror activity. But then they won't have a job soon.

I don't think this is ISI saazish. This lady was stuck in T'stan with a gelf husband possibly an abusive guy whose achievement was to make her pop 4 kids in quick succession.

Did we just massively devalue SCO by hosting the annual meeting online instead of having a massive in-person congregation?

Some solutions are actually simple, such as sun-dried tomatoes which can ease farmers burden of low prices and help reduce inflation in during rains. I think we, especially middle classes, whine too much about food.

9 years. Indian GDP went from $2tr to $3.5tr, that is 1.75x. USD went from 64 to 82 rupees, that is 1.28x. Net is 2.24x, so really the only factor is 33% increase after these are taken out. Thanks for your input. External (international) debt is small factor about 20%, rest is domestic. So exchange...

Yeah. But does that better battery translates into a performance (distance covered by a single charge) which is commensurate to the price charged by Tesla (2 to 3x) of its competitors?

Congress blames Modi govt of taking on debt from 55 lakh crore in 2014 to 155 lakh crore. That is almost 3 times in 9 yrs which seems unusually high and sounds bad. What constitutes that debt?

Finally the exchange rates are starting to make sense. As I always suspected, even the so-called "Open Market rate" is a fraud. Dollar loses Rs5 in open market (Dawn link) The closing price of dollar in the open market was Rs303 on Tuesday — a gain of Rs 5 for PKR over the previous day’s R...
