@BJP4India So, no one should question the atrocities happening. Democracy is fun.

[Manoj Kumar @FromManojKumar]

@DealsDhamaka Refunded the initial amount, and mentioned we don't have any template to send this kind of extra money confirmation.

[Manoj Kumar @FromManojKumar]

@DealsDhamaka Even I faced the same issue, and when asked they provided the same resolution, I asked for confirmation on how do I get the difference amount, the person spoke very rudely and refunded without any confirmation from my side

When I first came to India, the space industry was closed to private players.

The most well-known "startup" at that time was TeamIndus. Skyroot didn't exist.

A year later, in 2018, Skyroot was founded. Private companies in India couldn't launch rockets yet, but Pawan and Bharath forged ahead regardless, optimistic that liberalisation would happen someday.

Then, in 2020, it did. Indian companies were finally free to compete with American, Russian, European, and Chinese startups. They could build their own launch vehicles. And satellites. At an undisclosed location in the United States, Elon swallowed hard.

I was publishing videos about Indian companies on YouTube at this point. I remember thinking, "Making content about these spacetech developments is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Now, ~6 years later, Skyroot has gifted India with the biggest white pill of all time. While the world watched, a team of ~1,000+ Indian optimists (with an average age of 28) flawlessly executed an orbital rocket launch.

No private space company IN THE WORLD has ever done this on their first try. As I write this, I have goosebumps. I feel incredibly privileged to have been able to witness this firsthand. I also feel inspired by the resilience, ingenuity, and wherewithal of the entire Skyroot team.

The next chapter of India's space journey has officially begun.

@amazonIN and the executive who spoke with me is behaving like I made some mistake and giving me exceptions, I don't know what exception you guys are giving. Order was supposed to be delivered on July 5th it is not delivered till now and it is marked as delivered

[Manoj Kumar @FromManojKumar]

@amazonIN , My order is not delivered and the customer support team is not helping me to get my order and the person who spoke with me is ready to refund but not ready for replacement, I either need the same order but a replacement, Please help me with this.

[Manoj Kumar @FromManojKumar]

@TopDriverIndia @Swiggy I too faced this issue multiple times, then I understood that, the order is 3min away, not necessarily will deliver in 3min, it is only calculating the distance from the delivery address

@IncomeTaxIndia Hi @IncomeTaxIndia, I haven't got any resolution or no one has reached out to me

[Manoj Kumar @FromManojKumar]

@IncomeTaxIndia , my refund is processed but the deductions under 80G are not considered, The donations I made are genuine, I have bank statements of these transactions. I have provided all the details to my CA while filing.

I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours.

This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it.

Let me tell you what actually happened.

The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12.

381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find.

India sent five kids.

All five came back with gold.

Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad.

We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :)

That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them.

Now here is what the exam actually was.

Two papers. Each five hours long.

The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs.

The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids.

That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer.

Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours.

HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too.

Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO.

Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze.

In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver.

Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade.

Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018.

So who built this.

The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy.

They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane.

The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai.

The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri.

Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra.

This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own.

The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast.

That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world.

But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think.

That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years.

So yes, be proud. Loudly.

HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD.

But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India.

I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have.

But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying.

Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.

Launched Kandou AI's India journey in Hyderabad today.

Headquartered in Switzerland, Kandou AI was co-founded by Telangana native Srujan Linga. The company is now building next-generation AI infrastructure and semiconductor technologies for the global market.

After raising $225 million funding from leading global investors, the company has chosen Hyderabad as its India Chip Design headquarters.

With over 150 engineers already contributing to advanced chip design, this is another strong vote of confidence in Telangana's world-class talent and innovation ecosystem.

Wishing the @kandoubus team great success as they build the future of AI from Hyderabad.

[Manoj Kumar @FromManojKumar]

Stop imposing Hindi & support regional languages, @policybazaar. As a customer from Telangana who speaks Telugu, I expect your team to communicate in my language, not just Hindi.

[Manoj Kumar @FromManojKumar]

@IncomeTaxIndia Hi @IncomeTaxIndia , any update on this request it's been more than 2weeks I have raised concern

[Manoj Kumar @FromManojKumar]

@TA_Purvesh @DealsDhamaka The cost of producing Crude oil is also inflation adjusted and still it is too low

[The Exploited TaxPayer @IndiaNewGen]

Even a college student just passed out with 15L in Bangalore, living in PG with 30L education loans, no house, no land, no gold, no savings is an HNI by the government & the FM.

They don't consider anything. Just impose the rates which are paid by someone 1M $(9.5cr) in the US.

[The Exploited TaxPayer @IndiaNewGen]

My 40% income is accessible to him. He will also keep taking the same amount until I work. He has vision of vikshit bharat for which no one is accountable, no one is tracking, no metrics, no goals.

I am deeply anxious. He doesn't even know the issues.

కేసీఆర్ గారు కొన్ని వందల సార్లు చెప్పిండు.

కాళేశ్వరం ప్రాజెక్టు తొలి బ్యారేజీ మేడిగడ్డ వద్ద కట్టడానికి అక్కడ అత్యధికంగా ఉండే నీటి లభ్యతనే కారణం అని.

కరువు వచ్చినప్పుడే కాళేశ్వరం ప్రాజెక్టు అసలు విలువ తెలుస్తుంది అని కూడా ఆయన పలుమార్లు చెప్పారు.

ఎల్‌నినో ప్రభావం వల్ల ఈసారి వర్షాభావ పరిస్థితులు నెలకొన్నాయి. అయినా మేడిగడ్డ వద్ద సుమారు లక్ష క్యూసెక్కుల వరద వస్తున్నది.

ఈ వార్తను ఇదిగో ఈనాడు దినపత్రికే ధృవీకరిస్తున్నది.
ఎంతటి కరువొచ్చినా రాష్ట్రంలో సాగునీటికి, తాగునీటికి కొరతలేకుండా కాళేశ్వరం కాపాడగలదు అని ఈ ఏడాది నిరూపణ అయ్యింది.

ఇప్పటికైనా కేసీఆర్ ముందుచూపును తెలంగాణ ప్రజలు అర్థం చేసుకోవాలె.

[Harsha Kollaramajalu @hkollar]

@manoj_216 Actually why shouldn't tax slabs be automatically adjusted to the same DA figure, which they adjust to inflation?

Why is it kept at same levels for years, when clearlynines real earning went down?

@ramxcodes Then not needed right now, instead learn or go through about DBs
