Thnx for your awesom gift bhai.. A brand new watch 😊

A month into India’s demonetization initiative, long lines of people looking to exchange notes still spew out of banks, some sectors of the economy continue struggling with the lack of readily available cash, grassroots businesses are still being revolutionized with electronic payment capabilities, and masses of people continue transitioning towards new ways of paying for basic goods and services. On Nov. 8, 86% of India’s currency was nullified in a great demonetization effort that aimed to clean out the black market's cash supply and counterfeit notes which completely disrupted the social, political, and economic spheres of the world’s second largest emerging market.

But I don’t agree with you, and then I become you if I think like you…? I feel: I did something wrong for thinking a certain way, and you reprimanded me for thinking so. Thus, I withdraw, and berate myself for thinking the way I do, and spiral further down into depression due to self-criticism. 3. “Pull yourself together” / “Snap out of it” and the likes I thin
