Indian railways has never had such few accidents. Incredible work by the concerned ministry, and even this chart does not do justice. Halving in a decade, and then falling by ~95% in another decade or so.

THE TOWN (2010) has absolutely no business being this good. Ben Affleck takes a familiar Boston crime story and makes it brutally efficient, tense as hell, and ridiculously rewatchable. The whole thing moves like it has somewhere to be.

India built its first dedicated freight corridors only in the last decade, and they already run around 400 goods trains a day, close to full capacity.

Trains on these tracks move at up to 99 kmph against 25 to 35 kmph on old shared line that speed helped Indian Railways carry 1.6 billion tonnes in FY25, passing US and Russia to become world number 2 in rail freight.

Government is now planning 3 more corridors worth around ₹2 lakh crore.

India decade of road and rail building is showing up in freight bills now. Moving goods used to eat 13 to 14% of GDP, that is down to around 10% as per CII and Knight Frank, saving economy $123 to 133 billion every year.

World Bank logistics ranking improved from 54 in 2014 to 38. Next gain sits in shifting cargo from trucks to rail, an Indian truck covers only 250 to 300 km a day while American one does 700 plus.

Lets see if possible :) Well Still Logistics in india is Expensive

India built huge infrastructure after 2014 but 2 cracks are showing now.

Highway construction pace fell from 37 km a day in FY21 to about 27 km in FY26 as land acquisition and forest clearances got stuck, so government stopped giving work orders till 90% land is in hand.

On water, 2024 survey of certified villages found taps in 98% homes but only around 3 in 4 got supply meeting quantity and quality norms, so the tap scheme now runs till 2028 with ₹8.69 lakh crore outlay.

People don't hate Congress enough ✋

Had it not been for them wrecking the economy between 1971-1996 and again in 2004-2014, the country's GDP would have been $15T today at least 🇮🇳

India's GDP may have been higher than that of China today 🇨🇳

This doesn't even include the 1947-1971 era

Indian banks lent 19.2% more to industry in June compared with 6.3% growth same month last year

Money is going into new plants instead of repairing old debt, which is different from earlier cycles. Factories still run at roughly 75% of capacity, below the 83% peak of 2011, so companies are building for demand they expect rather than demand they already have.

Equipment suppliers and banks earn from this stage whatever happens next, and the risk of idle capacity stays with the company that built it.

For the first time Indian companies spent more on research than all governments combined, ₹1.27 lakh crore against ₹1.18 lakh crore in FY24.

Total research spending still sits at 0.84% of national income while China runs near 2.69%. Building a factory takes about 2 years and money. Building a lab that produces something worth patenting takes a decade and many failures.

Firms that own the design capture most of the margin, and assembly work usually earns thin single digit returns.

Global spending on data centres crosses $1 trillion this year, and a growing share is funded by borrowing rather than company cash.

India holds only 3% to 4% of world capacity while producing close to a fifth of global data, so the building pipeline here is long. Adding power turns out to be easier than moving it. India added 51 GW of clean capacity last year yet lost 300 GWh in one quarter because transmission lines were full.

Transmission equipment makers have seen order books more than double since FY22.

Gross R&D spending has nearly doubled in two years rising sharply to ₹2.45 lakh crore, with private industry now contributing over half of total R&D expenditure. A a healthy structural shift with innovation likely to become less state-driven and more market-led.

India still spends only 0.9% of GDP on R&D, well below the 2–3% typical of major innovation economies.

Hopefully this early momentum sustains into deeper private investment.

The ₹1 lakh crore RDI Fund, semiconductor push, manufacturing incentives and university-industry collaboration could be important catalysts. via @EconomicTimes

If you are outside Delhi and worrying about the scale of protest, let me tell you as a Delhi resident who has to travel extensively daily, that the anarchy is limited to only couple of areas, not even 2-3 KM stretch

For rest of Delhi, you won't even know something is happening in the city, we are travelling normally, Metro is on for entire Delhi, police deployment is as it is, as it was before this protest except for the Jantar Mantar area where riot control is present

Bombardement of videos by algorithm might trick you into believing something ground breaking is happening

But in reality it's just accumulation of few thousand Marxist Maowadis and Political workers from across the country in a 2-3 KM stretch making more noise than their actual impact

Genuine students, if any, have already gone home

The 20-foot armored giants in Nolan's Odyssey are actors. Tall performers in the suits, shorter performers playing Odysseus's men, staged at different depths in Scotland's Culbin Forest with seven IMAX cameras running. A lens has one eye. It can't perceive depth, so casting extremes plus placement does what a render farm usually does.

Filmmakers have exploited that single weakness for a century. Hagrid in Harry Potter was Robbie Coltrane in close-ups and 6'10" Martin Bayfield in an animatronic suit for wides. Elf built Santa's workshop with actors seated 30 feet behind Will Ferrell. Peter Jackson's team went furthest, rigging sets that physically slid as the camera panned so the illusion survived a moving shot.

Nolan just ran the technique at a scale nobody has attempted since.

The Laestrygonian giants are one line item. He built a 60-foot animatronic Cyclops and operated it inside an actual cave in the Peloponnese. The Troy set covered 110,000 square feet and held 2,000 extras. The production built multiple 35-foot Trojan Horses, buried one on a beach, and filmed real men dragging it out of the sand.

Snow and mist in the giant sequence are doing quiet work too. Fog flattens depth cues, which is why the trick reads as impossible instead of visible. Casablanca sold a full-size airplane the same way: painted backdrop, little people in mechanic costumes, and a studio rainstorm to keep your eyes busy.

The result is the biggest opening weekend of Nolan's career, bigger than both Dark Knight sequels. The most advanced effect in a 2026 blockbuster is a camera that can't see depth, pointed at people standing in the wrong places on purpose.
