Birthdays are generally one of the most awaited times of the year, as one celebrates another year around the sun. After all, it marks that you are growing up, in terms of ageing. However, a self-made man of Rs 5,000 crore, Dr A Velumani, founder of Thyrocare, wants us to wonder, if we are just ageing or if we are also growing as a person? On X, he shared an insightful tweet about how when a birthday comes, about 90% of people just age another year without making real progress, while just 10% actually grow in terms of personal development. He further believes that out of 100 who have not progressed, only 10% realise this and out of 100 who have realised it, only 10% feel bad about the lack of growth. He encourages focusing, learning, growing and enjoying life rather than growing without any meaningful progress. His tweet read, “When a birthday comes. 10% only have made a progress. 90% have just become one year old. In 100 who have made no progress only 10 aware of it. In 100 who are aware of it, only 10 feel bad about it. Punch: To grow big a lot of efforts needed. To grow old, zero efforts needed. Focus. Learn. Grow and Enjoy. please do not change the order.

Gap Food Research trends Experts Cycling reports RBI may go for 75 bps rate cut this fiscal, 25 bps each in April, June and October 2025: Report

SBI research ecowrap predicts 75 basis points rate cut this fiscal. Experts believe that CPI inflation will be 3.9 per cent in the fourth quarter of FY25 and will average at 4.7 per cent for the entire year. However, looking ahead to FY26, inflation is expected to remain between 4.0 per cent and 4.2 per cent, with core inflation ranging from 4.2 per cent to 4.4 per cent. Given this trend, analysts anticipate at least a 75-basis-point rate cut during this cycle, with back-to-back reductions expected in April and June 2025. Another round of rate cuts could follow in October 2025. «With benign inflation this month and going forward, we expect a cumulative rate cut over the cycle could be at least 75 basis points, with successive rate cuts in next policy April and June 2025. With an intervening gap in Aug'25, the rate cuts cycle could restart from Oct'25, says the report. India's consumer price index (CPI) inflation dropped to a seven-month low of 3.6 per cent in February 2025, mainly due to a sharp decline in food prices.
