Anand Tandon, Independent Analyst, says “if one has to be in two-wheelers, again, the premiumisation is definitely a longer-term theme. But that said, again, the number of new players that have come in and the new vehicles that are being launched will automatically put a kind of a spoke in the wheel, as it were. It will be a while before the market shares etc. settle down there. Broadly, I am not very bullish on that sector.”Let us begin by discussing the auto sector because of late it has been doing quite alright for itself. Bajaj Auto management told us how demand has seen a solid pickup from the months of July-August onwards. They are saying demand is fairly broad-based across rural as well as urban India. But within the two-wheeler space itself, what would you go for? Would you go for the mass themes like TVS, Bajaj, Hero or is the premiumisation play at Royal Enfield?I would not go for two-wheelers in the first place. I think the valuations for most of these companies are 50-60% higher than they were at a time when they were doing very well a few years ago compared to what they are doing today where they are still struggling to achieve growth and where the competition has actually doubled up quite considerably because of technological changes.

Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner recently grabbed headlines as they enjoyed a night out in New York City at Via Carota. This outing occurred shortly after news emerged of Sophie Turner's separation from her husband, Joe Jonas. On September 5, Joe Jonas, one of the Jonas Brothers singers, filed for divorce, citing an irretrievable breakdown in their marriage. He mentioned that their two children have been residing with him in various U.S. locations, emphasizing the importance of shared parental responsibility. It was also revealed that there was some form of prenuptial agreement between the couple. It's worth noting that Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas had a brief romance that lasted from July to October 2008, ending with a rather abrupt phone call breakup. Swift made a public reference to this breakup on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2008. Several songs on her album «Fearless,» such as «Forever & Always,» are believed to be about her relationship with Jonas. She recently released a Taylor's Version of the vault track «Mr. Perfectly Fine,» which also sparked interest. When these two former flames, Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift, were seen together on September 19, social media lit up with reactions. Numerous references were made to «Mr. Perfectly Fine.» Fans also couldn't help but share thoughts on this development.
