Quote of the day by British-American theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson: "We must be careful not to discourage our twelve-year-olds by..."

Renowned physicist Freeman Dyson cautioned against excessive exam preparation stifling children's natural curiosity. He argued that focusing solely on tests at a young age, particularly around twelve, can extinguish the joy of learning. Dyson believed fostering a love for exploration and unstructured discovery is crucial for developing genuine thinkers, rather than just proficient test-takers. His perspective highlights the hidden cost of prioritizing grades over intellectual wonder.

100% Tariff Threat: Trump Draws Red Line On Digital Services Tax

100% Tariff Threat: Trump Draws Red Line On Digital Services Tax

US President Donald Trump on Friday warned that any country imposing a Digital Services Tax (DST) on American companies would face a 100 per cent tariff on all goods exported to the United States, adding that such a move would override any existing or future trade agreement with Washington. In a post on Truth Social, Trump singled out European countries that he said were considering the imminent implementation of digital taxes targeting American technology firms. Trump Warns Of Immediate Tariff Issuing a strong warning, Trump said countries proceeding with a Digital Services Tax would face immediate trade consequences. “Numerous European Countries have been discussing the imminent implementation of a Digital Services Tax on American Companies. Some of these Countries are close to actually doing this. Please let this statement serve to represent that any Country that imposes such a Tax will immediately be met with a 100% TARIFF on any and all Goods sent to the United States of America. This TARIFF will supersede Trade Deals made with the Country, whether implemented, signed, or not. Additionally, the 100% TARIFF will be immediately imposed if they proceed,” he wrote. India Unlikely To Be Affected Trump's latest warning is unlikely to affect India. New Delhi had already withdrawn some of its Digital Services Tax levies in 2024 and 2025. According to the White House, India will completely remove the DST under the trade agreement currently being negotiated with the United States. Long-Running Opposition To Digital Taxes Trump has consistently opposed foreign governments imposing digital taxes or regulatory measures on American technology companies. Supporters of Digital Services Taxes argue that they ensure large technology firms pay taxes in the countries where they generate revenue and help address tax optimisation practices. Last August, Trump warned of retaliatory tariffs against countries introducing such taxes, saying digital taxes and related regulations “are all designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology.” France, Canada Previously In Trump's Crosshairs Earlier this month, Trump threatened to impose a 100 per cent tariff on French wine and champagne unless France withdrew its digital services tax on technology companies. France introduced a three per cent levy in 2019 on revenues earned within the country by major technology firms, including Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Google parent Alphabet. Canada also scrapped its Digital Services Tax last year in an effort to preserve trade negotiations with the United States following pressure from Trump.

More Indians Are Borrowing For Holidays: Is A Travel Loan Ever A Good Idea?

Travel has become a bigger priority for many Indians. Whether it is a family vacation, a long-awaited international trip or a quick getaway, people are increasingly willing to spend on experiences. Easier access to personal loans, credit cards and travel financing has made it possible to book holidays without paying the full cost upfront. But before you borrow for your next vacation, it is worth asking a simple question. Will the trip fit comfortably into your finances once you return home? A Travel Loan Can Make Holidays More Accessible Spreading the cost of a holiday over several months can make an expensive trip feel more manageable. If you have planned your repayments well, this flexibility can be useful. However, it is important to remember that a holiday is a discretionary expense. Unlike a home or education loan, it does not create a long-term asset. If you are still paying EMIs months after your holiday ends, the financial burden may last longer than the memories. Look Beyond The Monthly EMI When considering a travel loan, do not focus only on the monthly repayment. Interest costs, processing fees and the loan tenure all affect the total amount you eventually pay. A smaller EMI may seem affordable, but a longer repayment period can significantly increase the overall cost of your trip. Understanding the full repayment amount can help you make a more informed decision. Make Sure Your Budget Can Handle It The real question is not whether you are eligible for a travel loan. It is whether your finances can comfortably support another repayment. If you are already managing home loan EMIs, credit card bills or other financial commitments, adding another EMI can stretch your monthly budget. Ideally, your holiday should not affect essential expenses, emergency savings or long-term investments. Explore Lower-Cost Options First Borrowing is not the only way to finance a holiday. Planning ahead can often help you avoid debt altogether. Setting aside a small amount every month in a travel fund can make future vacations easier to afford. You can also reduce costs by travelling during the off-season, booking tickets early or choosing destinations that suit your budget. Small changes can make travel more affordable without taking away from the experience. Travel Today Without Compromising Tomorrow A holiday is an investment in memories, and there is nothing wrong with spending on experiences that matter to you. The key is to ensure that the cost of the trip does not create financial stress later. A travel loan is neither a good nor a bad decision on its own. It depends on your repayment capacity, existing financial commitments and overall goals. If you decide to borrow, do so with a clear repayment plan and a realistic budget. The best holiday is one that leaves you with great memories, not long-term debt. (The author is Associate Analyst, Communications, BankBazaar.com.

India's economy may grow up to 6.8% in FY27 as domestic demand stays resilient: EY

India's economy is poised for robust growth of 6.6-6.8% this financial year, buoyed by easing global energy prices and normalized Strait of Hormuz shipments. Inflation is expected to remain manageable around 4.5%, with the current account deficit projected at 1.5% of GDP. Strong domestic demand, particularly in consumption and investment, remains the primary growth engine, supported by healthy manufacturing and services activity.

Indians Don't Buy Large Sedans - What Does This Mean For Elantra?

Indians Don't Buy Large Sedans - What Does This Mean For Elantra? 

Once upon a time we had many large sedans like the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata and Volkswagen Passat but slowly the buyer trends changed to SUVs which meant that the sedan buyer disappeared.  Hence even globally the large sedan has been replaced by the SUV but in some markets sedans still knock around.  Hyundai showed the new Elantra and it's bigger, more luxurious and has more technology.  However, the talking point is the styling which is full of sharp lines rather than curves.  What's New About Elantra? There are more straight lines now and it looks more radical to appeal to new age buyers.  It is also much longer now and is nearly Sonata sized.  It gets a rear quarter glass, large 18 inch alloys and different door handles.  The interior meanwhile has a 14.6 inch touchscreen with the latest Hyundai infotainment system.  The interior is more radical and becomes more luxurious now.  Like the new Hyundai Venue, the steering wheel design is different and it uses a Morse code.  The driver display is also slimmer and smaller now.  The powertrains include a petrol and a hybrid while occupants can use the climate control function or certain features even when the car is off.  While India used to get the older Elantra the new Elantra has become more luxurious and would be too expensive for our market thanks to evaporation of demand for luxury sedans.  Should large sedans make a comeback in India? We think it could but SUVs for now rule the roost.
