My colleague S Ganguly has a reserved ticket in Train No. 15676 M2 coach seat no 79 however the coach has 72 berths only. What harassment is this after a 2 hr delayed train? 139 is no help. Need a solution ASAP

In China:
• WhatsApp/FB = WeChat
• Instagram = Xiaohongshu
• Amazon = Taobao
• TikTok = Douyin
• X/Twitter = Weibo
• YouTube = Bilibili
• Google = Baidu
• Uber = Didi
They built their walled garden early, protected it, and now own their market while expanding globally.
Meanwhile, we let others enter, and got hollowed out.
Today, the same people we gave entry to are blocking us from their AI models.
Same story with manufacturing & imports, we took the easy route which has put us in a hard place.
Time to change that.
Be it hardware or software: Build here.
For the people, by the people.
JAI HIND. 🇮🇳

The crony capitalists of India do not want to invest in projects which have a long gestation and do not give bumper returns. The small and medium entrepreneurs who want to invest in import substitutions find bank finance difficult, the industrial park plots are mostly…2

my cook was stealing fruits from my fridge so i deployed my ai roommate in the kitchen and it caught her red handed 👩🍳
it monitors the kitchen when she's cooking and pings me the moment she takes anything. sends me weekly report. i also trained it to check if she washes her hands before cooking and cleans the slabs once done.
I caught her twice this week. just fired her
next i'll add gas detection and idle time tracking. a lot more to build. tbh it's not a great version, it's early and rough but yet but it's already catching things i never would have noticed.
fn, using claude haiku 4.5 as the vision model. moving it to a local model on my raspi soon so it runs fully offline. btw i run face detection locally and blur it before hitting llm
Think of the worst way to die, and India will still manage to shock you with something even more horrific.
An LKG girl was travelling in a dilapidated school bus. The bus jolted. A section of the already rotten floor collapsed. The child, Ananya, slipped through the gap, fell straight under the rear wheel, and was crushed to death on the spot.
This was not some remote village van. This bus belonged to some Mount International School, Aligarh, supposedly a “reputed” private school. A school that allowed children to travel in a death trap.
Look at the condition of the seats and the floor in the images. This very bus was issued a fitness certificate just 11 months ago.

Drowning to death is one of the worst ways to die. It is not instantaneous. It is not painless. You want to breathe but you can't. You are haplessly flailing, trying to find that elusive way to survive but there isn't any. First you try fighting the water and stop it from going into your body. But the water will always win. It will get in, via your mouth and penetrate your lung. It does it while causing you immense pain. And only after this ordeal, you die.
This is what Yuvraj Mehta went thru on Saturday when he accidentally overshot a 90 degree turn and fell into a commercial plot filled with water.
But what happened was no accident. It was a murder. One more murder by our apathetic, corrupt system.
First accused are the road designers who thought it was ok to build a road with 90 degree turn in an area which is known for heavy fog for the last 400 years
Then there is the traffic police who didn't mark this sharp turn with barricades, signs, speed breakers or any other stuff that warns someone of this danger. Our govts are so in love with speed breakers that they put them on National Highways. But they forgot to put one in a place where it was absolutely necessary
Then there is the irrigation department. Apparently the area is at the confluence of the Hindon and Yamuna rivers and is prone to water accumulation. In 2023, there was a proposal to build a regulator to prevent this from happening.
For the last 3 years, The UP irrigation dept and Noida Authority were fighting with each other on who should install it and in their bickering, nothing was done. This resulted in the flooding of the barren plot, which drowned Yuvraj.
Today, both are blaming each other for the mishap.
Then there was the absolute lack of response from the authorities on the distress call. Apparently they didn't enter the water because it was too cold. And by the time they did, Yuvraj had died a hideos death
If this war, people who refused would have been summarily executed for cowardice or dereliction of duty. But here they would've been given chai and samosas.
Which brings us to the most galling part.
None of the above guys will ever be punished. Some low level guy will be made the sacrificial lamb. The higher ups will be "suspended" where they will chill at home with half salary. They may even go to the Maldives and post photos on Instagram
One inquiry will be done whose report shall never be released. Because it will never be made
A deliberately weak case will be filed on some private entity which will then go on for the next 150 years.
After a month, the T20 world cup and everyone will forget him. Just like we have forgotten the deaths of the people who died in Indore or those who were burnt to death in the bus fires.
The involved officers will be reinstated, given new departments to ruin and after some time promoted. The Noida Authority guy will even become the State Chief Secretary
Everyone responsible for murdering Yuvraj will take index linked pensions and free health care for life and live in luxury and happiness forever
While the parents of Yuvraj Mehta will never recover from this tragedy and live their life regretting not sending their kid abroad, where he might have survived.
G2 is a lesson for India. Here is China which has quietly built its strength and is now taking on the US which it has by its unmentionables. But the Chinese still say they are a developing country; and here are we who are at best a middle power pretending to be a super-power without the necessary wherewithal or the economic and military heft to be a great power, forget being a super power. By the way, why do we want to become a super-power? What is our grand strategy if we were to become a super-power? What do we propose to do with it? We cant exercise the power we have and we pretend to being a superpower?
Get real. Keep quiet. Stop boasting. Build the economy and military strength. Stop asking for technology - no one will give it to you. You can either buy outdated tech, or build your own tech or steal it. It wont come on a platter which our babus and netas hanker and negotiate for. Reform the economy. Reform governance. Demolish the bureaucratic stranglehold. Or get left behind.
Amazon is laying off 14,000 employees, including in India, as AI takes over their roles.
The cruel part is how fragile private sector “stability” is. You get a job, start earning, feel settled, plan a future, buy a house on EMI, and one fine morning the company decides to “downsize”. Suddenly, you’re jobless. If a new job doesn’t come quickly, those EMIs can destroy your peace and your life.
And the govt! While you earn, you must pay taxes. The moment you lose your job, you’re on your own. Farmers get compensation when crops fail, despite many paying zero income tax, but a taxpayer losing his job gets practically nothing.
Maybe it's time to introduce reforms like make EMI pauses for few months more liberal for those who lose their jobs, and providing a time-bound monthly allowance for few months from the govt, except for disciplinary cases of course. Ladla/Ladlis can get free money, free ration, free water and electricity, so why not support a worker who has been paying taxes and contributing?
Imagine being parents, bringing a child into this world, nurturing them, caring for them, making them the very purpose of their existence.
Then one day, you learn your child has a rare disease called Thalassemia and will need blood transfusions for life.
You aren’t rich, so you depend on a govt hospital for those transfusions. Every session, you take your child dutifully, with discipline, because that’s what love and responsibility mean. Life revolves around them, their smile, their survival.
And then, one day, govt employees at that very blood transfusion centre decides not to do the most basic part of their job, screening the blood to be transfused for HIV.
Your child receives HIV-positive blood.
Now, your child is HIV positive. So are four more Thalassemia kids who were allegedly transfused at the same centre. One act of sheer negligence. One careless, heartless lapse, and five innocent families are shattered. Everything you built, every ounce of love, every sacrifice, destroyed because one person couldn’t be bothered to do the duty they were paid for.
This happened at Sadar Hospital, Chaibasa, Jharkhand. Five children. All HIV positive now. The CM has announced ₹2 lakh compensation. Value of life. Lol.
A lot of people ask why so many Indians run abroad the first chance they get? Why some states have temples dedicated to foreign country visas? Why some people are so desperate to get away that they even risk death by drowning or freezing to illegally enter other countries?
Why are Indians so desperate to immigrate?
Because in the countries these people usually move to, they value life. They value people. They value you.
Unfortunately, that particular concept is virtually unheard of in India.
Here, lives are as important as money is to a sacrificial lamb.
Because In India:
The government doesn’t give a damn about you.
The judiciary thinks you don’t even exist.
People, in general, treat others like a piece of crap.
And if you treat someone nicely, chances are they’ll backstab you at the first opportunity.
Most of us have our souls and self-confidence destroyed, respawned, and then destroyed again on a daily basis. We get treated worse than a car in a Rohit Shetty movie.
So why would anyone stay?
In India
A two-bit clerk in an obscure municipal department can make your life miserable.
Any random ticket giver or clerk can abuse you.
A part-time watchman outside a private building treats you like a criminal.
Store workers treat you like a thief.
Everyone treats you like a shirker.
Your life is essentially a never-ending hurdles race that lasts for 70 years, if you make it that far that is.
So why would anyone stay?
In India
You risk your life every single time you step out of the house.
You can die when an illegal concrete slab, which was permitted by a corrupt babu, falls on you.
You can drown in a sewage tunnel because some random bozo has stolen the manhole cover.
You can burn to death in an illegally modified bus that the corrupt RTO has permitted to operate.
You can be run over by a drunken idiot who’s been given a license by that same RTO.
You can be crushed to death in a stampede caused by the incompetence of the police, who can’t handle a crowd.
You can die after consuming poison labelled as medicine because the babu who was supposed to prevent it took a bribe and looked the other way.
You can fall to death from a train because the railway authorities, after taking lakhs of crores in the name of safety, have blown it all away on "other things".
At any point in time, you can get impaled, burned to death, crushed, fall off a cliff, or be killed by a guy with a sword, sometimes all of the above.
Here, life is like the game Prince of Persia, except, unlike in the game, you don’t get three lives, nor can you restart. Once you are dead, you are dead.
So why would anyone stay?
And then comes the worst part.
In India,
Nobody is held accountable.
Nobody faces consequences.
Nobody gets punished.
There’s nobody you can complain to — and where you miraculously can, nobody listens.
People whose incompetence caused your death get promoted.
Some even run important departments that enable them to kill more people.
Every second of your life here is a herculean effort against the system, the process and the people.
However, Hercules had 12 labours in total.
In India, you face 12 labours everyday
So why would anyone stay?
Therefore, when someone actually gets a chance to get out, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they take it with both hands.
P.S.: In the last six months, 22 children died because of fake medicine, 40 people were burned to death in illegally modified buses and 51 people died in stampedes.
Those were 113 easily preventable deaths. Deaths mind you. DEATHS
113 innocent Indian citizens lost their lives.
What happened after that?
How many government officials were arrested? How many were punished? How many were sacked? What were the actions taken? How quickly we forgot everyone?
The answers to these questions will tell you why many people don’t want to stay in India anymore.
