In this country, best to make less than taxable income and shift to T3/4 City

Woke up to a "Vikshit Bharat" WhatsApp message, a feedback system that should have implemented in these 10 years. Coincided perfectly with the announcement of LS election dates today. The GOI's WhatsApp messaging isn't free; we indirectly pay for it. With so many startups, why can't we create a political party that doesn't fail like this? We're out of choices, and that's why the government will likely be re-elected.

Went for a high profile event, mood towards govt is dismal

Can't share too many details but basically went to an invite only event with some program unveiling and partnership announcements from GOI and other companies. Minister who was chief guest arrived late, other guests (also ministers) arrived later than him. After arriving, he starts his speech by saying i left important work to be here bla bla bla, sheer arrogance in the way he conducted himself. Didn't even speak in Hindi, was speaking to press the entire time and didn't care about Hindi speaking locals and audience who were specially invited for the event. Clicked photos, then left within 20-30 minutes of arriving. Other guests who were invited who i spoke to (non GOI) were saying the same thing - this govt is all talk and big numbers, detached from ground reality. They were brought there for optics, not for any change or meaningful work. And they can't say no either. GOI has become an entity who everyone puts up with, not out of choice. No one wishes to engage with ministers willingly anymore. They are forced to. Because when it all comes down to real work and projects, they want their own commissions / benefits regardless of the project at hand. And they will act like kings throughout the process, no scope for dialogue or negotiation. I think it's time for more corporate and startup leaders to join politics and clean up the act. Someone needs to. Or else we will lose a lot of business to neighbouring countries in the next few years.
