Videos related to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law remain a topic of discussion on the Internet every day. Recently, such a video surfaced where a daughter-in-law jokingly did something that people say that she made Yamraj’s job easy. However, this video is made in a very funny way and people are not only watching it but also sharing it with each other. The video starts with some people sitting in the middle of a field. The setting is rural and negotiations are ongoing. Meanwhile, a woman brings tea in a tray and gives everyone a cup. On the other side, a man is spraying urea in the field. A woman sitting there calls to him and asks him to drink tea. When everyone is enjoying tea, the mother-in-law suddenly asks the woman serving tea: “Daughter, did you put sugar in it or not?” Hearing this, the daughter-in-law quickly replied, “Yes, mother, I put two handfuls of sugar in it.” This is where the real fun begins. As soon as everyone starts tasting the tea, a strange expression appears on their faces… Then the mother-in-law points to the urea lying in the field and asks: “Tell me, where did you get the sugar from?” The daughter-in-law innocently replied, “I picked up some white grains lying nearby and put them in the tea.” What happened anyway? Daddy’s angel makes Yamraj’s job easier 😀 pic.twitter.com/OpAu1optkE — Jason Bourne (@jasonbourne0101) September 16, 2025 When it comes to light that he actually put the urea lying in the fields in the tea instead of sugar, everyone is shocked. Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and immediately put down their teacups. Some laugh, while others fall silent in fear. The whole scene takes a turn that no one expected. This video was posted on the X-Ray platform by an account called @jasonbourne0101 and people are commenting on it in various ways. Some call it the funniest clip ever, while some link it to funny stories of rural life. Many people even call it a good example of “desi comedy”. Share this story Tags

US President Donald Trump is expected to direct agencies to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III drug, similar to some common prescription painkillers, the Washington Post reported Thursday. Sources told the media house that Trump is expected to force the government to dramatically relax federal restrictions on marijuana, reducing oversight of the plant and its derivatives to the same level as some common prescription painkillers and other drugs. Trump reportedly discussed the plan with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) in a Wednesday call from the Oval Office. The president is expected to seek to ease access to the drug through an upcoming executive order directing federal agencies to pursue reclassification, sources said. Will Trump legalize marijuana? The move will not legalize or decriminalize marijuana, but it will ease barriers to research and boost the bottom lines of legal businesses. In August, Trump said he was “looking at reclassification.” The Biden administration has also investigated the rescheduling of cannabis. “We’re looking at it. Some people like it, some people hate it,” Trump said this summer. “Some people hate the whole concept of marijuana because it’s bad for the kids, it’s bad for the people who are older than the kids.” The president was joined Wednesday by marijuana industry executives, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicine and Medicaid Services, sources told the Washington Post. On the call, Johnson was skeptical of the idea and offered a list of reasons, including various studies and data, to support his stance against reclassifying the drug, two of the people said. Trump then turned the phone over to the executives gathered around his desk, who refuted Johnson’s arguments, the people said. Trump ended the call and appears poised to move forward with easing restrictions on marijuana, the people said, although they cautioned that the plans are not finalized and Trump could still change his mind. A White House official said no final decisions have been made on the rescheduling of marijuana. The Department of Health and Human Services referred questions to the White House. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A representative from Johnson’s office declined to comment. Marijuana Marijuana is currently classified as a Schedule I substance, the same classification as heroin and LSD. Federal regulations consider those drugs to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted use for medical treatment. Trump will move to classify marijuana as a Schedule III substance, which regulators say has less potential for abuse and is used for certain medical treatments but can also create risks of physical or psychological dependence. Other schedule III drugs include Tylenol with codeine, as well as certain steroid and hormone treatments. Democrats and Republicans alike have expressed interest in reclassifying marijuana, with some politicians citing its potential benefit as a medical treatment and the political popularity of the widely used drug. Marijuana has become easier than ever to obtain, and has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States. Dozens of states and Washington, DC, have legalized medical marijuana programs, and 24 have approved recreational marijuana. The Biden administration has pursued efforts to ease access to the drug, with health officials recommending reclassification to Schedule III in 2023. But health officials said those recommendations were slow-walked by the Drug Enforcement Administration, which took months to undergo the required administrative review and was not completed before the end of Biden’s term.

The head of India’s market regulator and the deputy governor of the country’s central bank will chair the 18th edition of the Mint BFSI Summit in Mumbai today. The day-long summit comes at a time when India’s financial services landscape is being reshaped by new regulations, changing customer expectations and rapid advances in technology. Themed ‘Finance’s Next Frontier’, the 2025 Summit brings together the country’s most influential voices to discuss how banking, markets, insurance and fintech are preparing for a new era of challenge and collaboration. The day begins with two marquee talks anchoring the summit in the perspectives of India’s key regulators. Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), will take the stage with a keynote address, followed by a fireside chat on ‘Steering India Inc. through a regulatory lens’. At a time when global markets continue to experience volatility, India’s regulatory framework plays a central role in maintaining stability, enhancing transparency and guiding corporate behavior. This discussion will provide a grounded view of Sebi’s priorities and how the regulator sees the interplay between market oversight, investor protection and innovation. Following this, T. Rabi Sankar, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), will deliver a keynote address and participate in a fireside discussion. As the RBI shapes policy on inflation, liquidity, digital payments and financial stability, Sankar’s perspective will be essential to understanding the forces influencing India’s macroeconomic and financial outlook. Apart from the regulators, the main highlight of the day will be a high-level discussion on the state of India’s banking system with India’s top bankers. The panel “The Banking Sector as a Catalyst for India’s Economic Growth” brings K. Balasubramanian, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Citi India; Rajiv Anand, Managing Director (MD) and CEO, IndusInd Bank; and Debadatta Chand, MD and CEO, Bank of Baroda. As India’s economy grows, banks must manage rising credit demand, maintain strong asset quality and invest in digital capabilities. This closing session will determine how the sector balances these imperatives and what will drive bank performance in the coming years. The summit will also see a debate on a sector undergoing significant transition: insurance. The panel ‘The Insurance Industry After GST 2.0’ brings Rakesh Jain, executive director and CEO, IndusInd General Insurance Company; Satishwar B., MD & CEO, Bandhan Life; Animesh Kumar Das, MD & CEO, Acko General Insurance; and G. Srinivasan, MD & CEO, Galaxy Health Insurance, to unpack how the next phase of GST reform will shape pricing, distribution models and competition. With India’s protection gap still wide, the stalwarts will deliberate on how the industry can rethink product design, customer outreach and digital platforms. This session will explore how leaders prepare for that shift. Markets now take center stage, with celebrity investor Madhusudan Kela, founder of Invexa Capital, fireside chat on ‘Markets at a Turning Point: Global Headwinds, Domestic Euphoria—What Gives?’ India’s markets continue to attract strong domestic flows and sustained optimism even amid global uncertainties. This discussion will examine the drivers of that sentiment, the risks that may be undervalued, and what investors should watch for in the coming year. The summit then turns to the asset management industry with the panel ‘Mutual funds: Market drivers or mere riders?’ with DP Singh, Deputy Managing Director and Joint Chief Executive Officer, SBI Mutual Fund; Nilesh Shah, Managing Director of Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company; and Sundeep Sikka, executive director and CEO, Nippon Life India Asset Management; and Chairman of Amfi (Association of Mutual Funds in India). With the rise of SIPs, passive investing and broader retail participation, mutual funds are playing a greater role in shaping market behavior. The panel will explore how the industry is evolving, whether domestic flows can remain resilient, and what innovations can define the next phase of growth. In the afternoon, the focus shifts to how India moves towards its long-term economic ambitions. Hitesh Sethia, MD & CEO, Jio Financial Services, will outline ‘The Playbook for a $5 Trillion India’. The session will explore the critical role of financial services in enabling new consumption patterns, expanding credit access and supporting the digital economy. Fintech’s evolution is explored in depth by the panel ‘Rewiring credit: Fintech’s next Chapter’, with Madhusudhan Ekambaram, CEO and co-founder, Kreditbee; Sandeep Singh, CEO, Trillionloans (Bharatpe); and Akshay Mehrotra, MD and Group CEO, Fibe. With the first wave of fintech innovation behind us, the next phase will require stronger risk management, sustainable unit economics and deeper collaboration within the ecosystem. The discussion will reflect on how these companies plan to expand responsibly while managing rising regulatory expectations. The summit also examines India’s growing global financial presence. A fireside chat with Revolut India CEO Paroma Chatterjee will focus on ‘Opportunities in Cross-Border Payments’. As India builds links with global payment systems and strengthens digital infrastructure, cross-border movement of money will become faster, more transparent and more affordable. The session will highlight what this shift means for consumers, businesses and fintech operators. Partnerships across the ecosystem are spotlighted in the conversation “Why NBFCs and fintechs need each other to win the digital-first consumer”, with Nirav Shah, managing director, Equirus Capital (investment banking) and Ravi Narayanan, managing director and CEO, SMFG India Credit Co. Ltd. models, this session will explore the practical realities of these relationships and how they benefit the digital first consumer. Across all sessions, the 18th edition of the Mint BFSI Summit provides a clear view of the opportunities and challenges ahead. With regulatory shifts, technological change, rising consumer expectations and new competitive dynamics shaping the industry, this year’s discussions will help leaders understand how to navigate finance’s next frontier. As India’s financial sector becomes more digitally connected, more inclusive and more globally connected, the summit aims to equip participants with the insights needed to prepare for the next phase of growth.

Dipali Banka 4 min read Dec 12, 2025, 06:00 IST Indigo shares have fallen about 17% since the start of the month, Photo: AFP Summary Five market analysts Mint spoke to said a further erosion of the share price is unlikely once the stock joins the Sensex on December 22, although the airline’s revenue could fall in the last quarter. Shares of InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, which runs IndiGo, are unlikely to stage a major recovery once the stock joins the Sensex on December 22 as investors await clarity on regulatory overhang, but its inclusion in the benchmark index could provide downside protection, several analysts told Mint. Indigo shares have fallen about 17% since the start of the month, after the airline canceled more than 4,500 flights last week due to an acute crew shortage stemming from its failure to adapt to new, stricter flight duty time limitations (FDTL) rules for pilots. Following this, the civil aviation regulator ordered India’s largest airline to cut its winter schedule by 10%. The stock’s price-to-earnings ratio was 25.5 on December 11, compared with 30.8 on December 1 and 32.7 on August 20, when it hit a record high of ₹6155.50. However, five market analysts said further erosion of the share price was unlikely, even though the airline expects revenue to fall in the December quarter due to last week’s cancellations. Inclusion in the Sensex typically increases demand for a share, as passive funds that track the index and other mutual funds look to include it in their portfolios, pushing the share price higher. On November 21, BSE Index Services, a Bombay Stock Exchange subsidiary, announced that InterGlobe Aviation will replace Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd in the Sensex with 30 shares on December 22. Sensex privilege While Indigo shares may not get a Sensex boost, its inclusion in the index should at least provide support on the downside, said Nirav Karkera, head of research at Fisdom, a Bengaluru-based wealth management firm. “Investors will still be cautious because the regulatory overhang is not gone. But index investors cannot pick and choose; they buy the basket, and that automatically brings flow to the stock,” Karkera added. “The day of the Sensex rebalancing could bring an inflow of $315 million into the counter,” said Abhilash Pagaria, head of Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research. He added that while a 2-3% rise on or before the day of inclusion was possible, fundamental issues would overtake the stock sooner or later. After last week’s chaos, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation sent the airline a show-cause notice, seeking an explanation from CEO Pieter Elbers and COO Isidre Porqueras for the disruption, and ordered an investigation. It cut 10% of the airline’s nearly 2,145 daily domestic flights from the winter schedule and on Wednesday formed an eight-member team to monitor IndiGo’s day-to-day operations, including two officials stationed at the airline’s Gurugram headquarters. Analysts at JMF Financial and ICRA, a ratings agency, speculated whether there could be leadership changes at the airlines, further increasing uncertainty among investors. ‘Aviation growth story intact’ Anil R, senior analyst at Geojit Investments Ltd said: “Overall, the inclusion should provide support, even if it is not a sharp rebound after IndiGo’s recent correction, which has already priced in most of the operational issues in the short term. But investors can remain cautious on regulatory developments. [Nonetheless] the stock’s inclusion in the Sensex may still bring some fund flow.” Jinesh Joshi, aerospace analyst at PL Capital, a Mumbai-based financial services group, said: “It is difficult to comment on whether the stock will see a rally after its inclusion in the Sensex due to the regulatory uncertainty that keeps investors on the fence. However, there could be some inflows to support the stock.” Gagan Dixit, senior vice president, aerospace, at Elara Securities, echoed their views. “Index inclusion usually brings support as funds tracking the benchmark need to buy, but in the near term, the stock will still move along with the regulatory noise. He added: “However, over a longer period, money managers such as mutual funds and pension funds will look at the FY28 outlook, which looks unchanged. There is value here as India’s aviation demand growth story is intact.” On Wednesday, IndiGo said it expects a revenue decline in the December quarter and cut its guidance. He now expects passenger growth to fall into the ‘mid-single digit’ range, compared with management’s November 4 guidance of, at best, “modest growth” in the December quarter. IndiGo said it expects “high single to early double-digit growth (%)” in capacity, compared to management’s earlier guidance of “high-teens growth”. Analysts at JP Morgan said in a note dated November 5: “Indigo’s domestic airfares for 3QFY26TD are flat y-o-y, while select international routes post double-digit growth; fuel costs up 6% QoQ, and a weak INR likely to depress non-fuel CASK.” Cost per available seat kilometer (CASK) is an important airline industry metric that measures the operating costs required to fly one seat – occupied or empty – over one kilometre. Airlines try to minimize these costs to increase profitability. Get all the corporate news and updates on Live Mint.

Copyright © HT Digital Streams Limited All rights reserved. First red flags for electronics firms like Kaynes go under the lens Shouvik Das 5 min read 12 Dec 2025, 06:00 am. IST Despite faltering investor confidence, analysts pointed out that India’s top electronics firms are still clinging to the solid gains made since their market debut. (Pixabay) Summary Fresh concerns over Kaynes Technology’s finances have rocked India’s electronics manufacturing sector, calling into question the industry’s ability to bankroll the huge investments tied to government incentives. A flurry of warnings about Kaynes Technology’s finances rattled India’s electronics manufacturing (EMS) sector, sharpening focus on the industry’s ability to fund the heavy investments needed to take advantage of upcoming government incentives. Brokerage firm Kotak Securities’ notes on the company this month had a cascading effect on the broader sector. Since Dec. 1, shares of Dixon, Syrma and Kaynes have fallen 11-30% as analysts noted problems with cash flow, availability of working capital and the ability to expand manufacturing to seek government incentives. On December 3, a Kotak Securities note reported “ambiguous accounting” of revenue from one of Kaynes’ acquisitions, as well as “inconsistencies” in related party transactions. The note also questioned whether the company’s current operating cash flow would allow for its planned capital expenditures in new projects. Despite faltering investor confidence, analysts remain optimistic for the long term as India’s top four electronics companies maintain the exponential gains they have brought to investors since their listings. Over the past week, according to Kotak Securities’ note. there were similar flags by the likes of JM Financial and JPMorgan, raising concerns about financial disclosures and operating cash flow at Kaynes. They raised questions about the company’s accounting discrepancies, and whether it had enough capital to grow at the rate it planned. On December 5, Kaynes filed a response to the BSE, admitting to “inadvertent non-disclosure” of related party transactions in its financial statements. And on December 8, the company’s management, led by executive vice chairman and founder Ramesh Kannan, addressed these concerns in a call with analysts. Investors, however, appeared excited. Kaynes shares fell 10.5% on Wednesday, before recovering 3.5% on Thursday. Overall, Kaynes’ share price is down 30% since December 1, and 44% from its 52-week high. Operations under stress Hitherto, electronics manufacturing services firms have largely relied on building scale, driven by central and state government incentive schemes. It has worked out very well so far – both for the companies and their investors. Kaynes, since listing in November 2022, has given investors a 10x return within three years. Even now its share prices are at 5.4x since listing. The benchmark 30-share BSE Sensex rose 37% during this time. Similarly, Dixon, Amber and Syrma have returned investors 6x, 5x and 2.5x since their listings in September 2017, February 2018 and August 2022, respectively. Now a new set of incentive schemes wants to boost component manufacturing, which in turn requires these companies to invest in building factories before they get the said soups and reap the rewards. Analysts are now questioning whether the sector will be able to make such investments. “We note management responses to our report; however, certain aspects related to intangible accounting and increased working capital remain unclear. We believe that the generation of positive OCF (operating cash flow) in FY2026, improvement in internal controls and timely execution of PCB (printed circuit board) and Osat (outsourced semiconductor assembly) will occur through a second extension and testing from December 9. Security analysts A note by Bhavik Mehta and Ankur Rudra, analysts at brokerage JPMorgan, added: “There was no change in fundamentals on the stock, but one of the key concerns about the stock was stretched working capital and receivables. On November 14, Mint reported that all of India’s leading electronics companies, including the privately held Tata Electronics, pursuing acquisitions to venture into components manufacturing and other sub-segments reaping better rewards in electronics. Concerns over the entire electronics manufacturing services sector have seen Dixon Technologies, the only large-cap firm, fall 15% before recovering 5.3% in the past nine business days, respectively At the heart of the issue, therefore, are questions about the ability of EMS companies, which have relied heavily on high-volume, low-value electronics, to generate enough operating cash flow to invest in their businesses. Long-term outlook In response to a questionnaire sent by Mint, CFO Jairam Sampath reiterated his claim from last quarter’s earnings call, saying: operating cash flow by March 2026.” “Kaynes has always delivered in the execution of new projects. We were the first to manufacture and ship ICs (integrated circuits) made in India among the various entities granted capital subsidy approval by the government,” he said. We have taken note of the comments by various people in the media and during our analyst interactions, and we are confident of ensuring the desired improvements on each of the key issues facing the business.” Sampath added that the company expects “higher revenues in non-industrial sectors such as railway electronics, aerospace, electric vehicles, automotive, etc. to achieve, which will drive the growth of ESDM (electronic system design and manufacturing) revenue for Kaynes to compensate for the smart meter revenue.” The company also plans to start supplying self-packaged chips this financial year from its Osat plant in Sanand, Gujarat. However, he denied that there is any need to raise any further capital, at least in the near term. On that note, analysts said that despite the long-term concerns, Kaynes is seen as a stable company for investors can stay. “The company’s overall business model is solid, and in terms of expansion, there is no reason for Kaynes to fail at any stage. It may consider raising further funding for future acquisitions or venturing into more new categories,” said Harshit Kapadia, vice president at brokerage Elara Capital. “Overall, what will be key to see is tighter internal controls in financial reporting, and whether it will actually meet its positive operating cash flow guidance this financial year.” “We remain OW (overweight) and expect improved receivables and NWC (net working capital) will be key drivers of the stock over the next two quarters,” added JPMorgan’s Mehta and Rudra.

Gold was steady after three days of gains, supported by the prospect of further monetary easing in the US after a rate cut this week. Silver traded near a record high. Bullion was little changed at around $4,280 an ounce, after climbing 1.2% in the previous session. Federal Reserve policymakers left the door open for more rate cuts next year after cutting the cost of borrowing on Wednesday. Swaps traders are betting on two cuts in 2026, even if the US central bank indicates just one. A lower interest rate environment is a tailwind for non-interest-paying precious metals, including gold and silver. To add further support to gold, the Fed will begin buying $40 billion a month in Treasury bills on Friday as it looks to rebuild reserves in the financial system. Gold is up more than 60% this year and silver has more than doubled, with both metals on track for their best annual performances since 1979. The scorching rallies have been supported by increased central bank purchases and a pullback by investors from sovereign bonds and currencies. Investments in gold-backed exchange-traded funds have risen every month this year except May, according to the World Gold Council. Meanwhile, silver has been boosted in recent weeks by rising demand, as well as tightness and disruptions across major trading hubs. The white metal hit a record high of $64.3120 an ounce on Thursday. Gold was little changed at $4,280.34 an ounce as of 07:30 in Singapore. Silver fell 0.1% to $63.5080.

Jakarta – The deadly attack on two debt collectors or ‘eagle eyes’ (matel) took place in Kalibata, South Jakarta (Jaksel). The two of them were beaten up after intercepting a motorcyclist. Mansur, Chief Commissioner of Pancoran Police, explained that the beating incident took place at around 15:30 WIB yesterday afternoon (11/12). Here are a number of facts related to the deadly punches: 1. It started with the rider being stopped. This unfortunate incident started when two ‘matels’ stopped a passing motorcyclist. A conversation ensued. Scroll to continue content “The people who were beaten were friends of Matel. One of the motorcycle users was suddenly stopped by these friends. After being stopped, they stopped as usual,” Mansur said on Thursday (12/11/2025) when asked for confirmation. 2. Attacked by road users. A moment later, however, the two matelles were immediately approached by a number of people who got out of a car that also drove past from behind the motorcycle. Both of them were beaten on the spot. “Then other road users got out of the car. They immediately attacked so sporadically, so quickly, against these groups that stopped, that stopped this vehicle,” he said. After the two matelles were attacked, residents tried to pull them off, while the perpetrators immediately ran away. “Matel was hit sporadically. Yes, he was eventually taken to the side. The one that was hit immediately ran away, very fast. (The motorcycle) also ran away, none of them were at the crime scene, suddenly they were not there, they immediately left the motel,” Mansur said. 3. One person is dead. The condition of the two ‘matel’ who were beaten was truly pathetic. One person died. “While one died, the other is still alive,” Mansur said. Meanwhile, another ‘matel’ is in critical condition. He was rushed to the hospital. “Another critical person was taken to the Cawang Regional Hospital,” said Jaya Kombes Budi Hermanto, Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro. Budi explained that the situation at the location heated up when a number of parties came to the location after the incident. He said joint members of the South Jakarta Metro Police and Metro Jaya Police were already at the location to provide security. 4. Motorcycle stands burned down. This deadly attack had a long tail. Motorcycles and stalls were burnt by a group of people believed to be associates of the ‘matel’ victims. “As a result of the beating, which resulted in one death and one serious injury, well, suddenly a group of mobs came after sunset and immediately came to do damage because they were beaten at the crime scene here,” Nicolas Ary Lilipaly, head of the South Jakarta Metro Police, told journalists at the scene. “So, in the end, the target here was the mass group. Maybe it was their group (matel victims) that came to attack, indiscriminately, and destroyed the stalls here,” Nicolas continued. A total of 9 kiosks were burnt. There were 6 motorcycles and 1 car that also burned. “(Objects burned) Nine kiosks, six 2-wheeled vehicles, one 4-wheeled vehicle,” said South Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept.

However, he confirmed that there were no casualties as a result of the chaos that occurred after the beating of the two ‘matel’. “Yes, we will carry out a sweep. We will check which groups exist so that they dissolve immediately,” explains Nicolas. “Essentially, we will try hard to deal with these two cases. The first is abuse resulting in death and serious injury. And the second is cases of vandalism or arson,” he added. The situation at the location is currently favorable. He said residents need not worry as the police team continues to ensure that this case is solved. (isa/jbr)
