The world has lost a man who redefined what is possible. Nirmal Purja, or Nims, was a bright light of inspiration to countless people. In the Brigade of Gurkhas we are proud to call him one of our own. But his achievements belong to none of us, because it was he himself who showed us that the easy path is not the one that leads to achievement. He died on Broad Peak in Pakistan in a tragic accident that also took the lives of others from around the world, all mountaineers united in the spirit of challenge and human endeavour. We mourn them all. But we also celebrate remarkable lives, and none more so than that of Nims. A soldier, a Gurkha, a mountaineer, a husband, a father, a son and a brother. You have shown us a path - we must rise to your example. Rest in peace Nims.
Major General Gez Strickland (Colonel Commandant the Brigade of Gurkhas).

A young man I have met, Rajesh, is missing after an extraordinary act of heroism. He handed over the life-jacket he was wearing to a person marooned on an islet. Then he was swept away in the swirling currents. He saved a life but it’s feared he has sacrificed his own.
Studied 900 people who'd call themselves successful. All of them earned their dopamine the same five ways.
1. Working hard at something real.
2. Getting stronger through boring, repeated routines.
3. Learning something that actually challenges them.
4. A conversation that changes how they think.
5. Sitting with a problem long enough.
None of that gives you a hit immediately. That's exactly why it works.
MEA data does not match ground reality
Official records show two Indian seafarers onboard PVT Fortune (Ex Bellavita, IMO 9542831), currently underway to Singapore.
Reality:
These two seafarers are actually stranded onboard PSD-1 at Bushehr Port, Iran — unpaid for 12 months.
They face severe food shortages, zero salary, safety threats in a war zone, and no repatriation. Life-threatening conditions continue.
This is not an isolated case.
Many Indian seafarers remain registered on different vessels in government systems while actually stranded in Hormuz and Black Sea regions.
We urge immediate verification of all such records and urgent evacuation of these two seafarers from PSD-1.

Many homes were swept away by the floodwaters, but the boat of humanity is still afloat… One of the special passengers of that boat is social worker and messenger of humanity, Hussain Mansuri. Assam will always remember your selfless service.

Get well soon to our “insecurity” forces 🇮🇳
Today we remember Comrade Harkishan Singh Surjeet on his death anniversary, a fearless communist leader, freedom fighter, founding Polit Bureau member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), and one of the foremost defenders of India's secular and democratic values.
BJP tried slandering this genZ girl by calling her ‘Babar ki Virasat’. Look how she came up with an extraordinary ppt presentation.
You just can’t beat GenZs..
Vastaguna huyiyaa!!
The primary reason people don't achieve big goals is because they don't realize that the only source of truth is making mistakes. They soak up advice and theory, expecting it to be an exact match to their mind, experience, and situation just to fail once and give up completely.
A 21-year-old woman took all 5 anti-rabies injections and rabies immunoglobulin after a dog bite. Still she died of rabies.
Here are the real reasons why the vaccine sometimes fails and what we must fix.
1. Stitching the bite wound
