यह वी. कामकोटि हैं आईआईटी मद्रास के निदेशक।15 जनवरी 2025 को चेन्नई में एक गोशाला में दिए गए भाषण इन्होंने उदाहरण दिया कि जिसने तेज बुखार में गोमूत्र पीकर 15 मिनट में ठीक हो जाता है।
केवल इतना नहीं इन्होंने कहा कि गोमूत्र में एंटी-बैक्टीरियल, एंटी-फंगल और पाचन संबंधी गुण हैं, जो IBS जैसी समस्याओं में भी फायदेमंद हो सकता है।
खैर खबर यह नहीं है। खबर यह है कि यह भाषण देने वाले कामकोटि प्रधानमंत्री द्वारा पेपर लीक के बाद परीक्षा प्रणाली में सुधार के लिए बनाई गई टास्क फोर्स का हिस्सा हैं।
Requesting the Government of India - honorable President @rashtrapatibhvn, @PMOIndia to withdraw the fourth highest civilian award bestowed on this quack - to maintain credibility and sanctity of such awards. This is shameful and atrocious. This woman's social media accounts are now being witheld because of legal demands in India due to cognizance of the public health danger she promotes.
In her Padma Award citation, the red-lined sections mentions "claims of" cure of serious illnesses and chronic diseases - this is an outright violation of Drugs and Magic Remedies Act. This woman should be chargesheeted and these "wild" claims investigated. Show some respect to the public you serve @PadmaAwards
Indian public in general maybe 'blind' health illiterates, but not all are! @arunachaltimes_
@shadowfax_in delivery delayed 2 days, "couldnt deliver" "you were not available" help page has canned response - "we are busy". Worst courier service. #shadowfax#courier
Manager: “ I need you to join another project next week.”
Employee: “I already lead two. Adding another one isn’t sustainable.”
Manager: “Everyone is stretched thin. We all have to chip in.”
Employee : “Okay, who else is leading three projects?”
Manager: “Well… nobody. But you’re the strongest on the team.”
Employee a: “Being strong doesn’t make me superhuman.”
Manager: “It’s temporary.”
Employee : “Just like it was temporary last quarter?”
Manager: “You’re overthinking it.”
Employee : “I’m not overthinking. You’re underplanning.”
Manager: “We need team players.”
Employee : “A team player isn’t someone who silently accepts being overloaded. It’s someone who keeps the team from collapsing — including themselves.”
Lesson:
High performers become dumping grounds if they don’t set boundaries.
Being good at your job doesn’t mean you owe them your health, sanity, or every remaining scrap of free time.
Trying to change bank acc address on your website. How do I choose Silvassa (which is the capital of the union territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli) if it doesnt appear on the drop down on your site? @ICICIBank@ICICIBank_Care please enlighten me.
@EurekaForbes Why does AQUAGUARD SLIM GLASS UV STORAGE which is NOT an RO have an exit pipe? Customer care is clueless, Technician who came to service could not answer. Please enlighten me.
@imsinghmohit@DefenceBrat He uses the state emblem. Law prohibits 'private persons' from using it on correspondence. Absolutely sure he knows the law. Therefore....
Feb 14, 1990: Voyager 1 spacecraft takes this stunning photograph of the Earth suspended in the sunbeam. Carl Sagan's brilliant monologue as mentioned in his 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot:
'From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.'

School fees don’t just test a parent’s income.
They test their silence.
Every year, the number rises.
And parents quietly adjust life around it.
Fewer vacations. Delayed dreams. Extra shifts.
No complaints. Just quiet sacrifice.
We are told it’s for “quality education.”
But classrooms stay crowded.
Teachers stay underpaid.
And parents stay anxious.
A child’s future should not feel like a monthly threat.
Education was meant to uplift families, not exhaust them.
To create thinkers, not debt managers.
Parents don’t hesitate to spend on their children.
They hesitate because they have no choice.
When schooling becomes a luxury,
we’re not building a smarter society,
we’re pricing out potential.
And the heaviest lesson children learn is this:
Their parents paid the price, silently.
