Testing e20 fuel in an open steel dish to explain engine combustion is like blowing air through a straw to demonstrate how a jet engine works. It’s a cheap party trick that completely ignores pressure, fuel ratios, and mechanical tolerance. It’s pure school-science-fair theatricals designed to mislead anyone who doesn’t know how an internal combustion engine actually works.
An engine cylinder is not an open plate. It operates under massive pressure, high velocity, and precise timing - not a open-air diffusion burn.
Here is why that dish demo is absolute nonsense:
1. Open Flames vs. Engine Physics:
Petrol leaves soot in an open dish because it lacks oxygen in open air. Ethanol carries its own oxygen, so of course it burns clearer on a plate! But inside an engine, air is forcibly mixed with fuel. A clean burn on a steel dish means zero for what happens inside a pressurized combustion chamber.
2. Running "Lean" Means Higher Harmful Emissions:
Pure petrol needs a 14.7:1 air-fuel ratio, while E20 needs ~13.8:1. If your car isn't tuned specifically for E20, the engine runs "lean" (too much air, not enough fuel). Lean combustion spikes cylinder temperatures, which actually increases dangerous Nitrogen Oxide {NOx) emissions - the exact toxic stuff that causes urban smog. Plus it also releases carcinogenic aldehydes.
3. Damaged Injectors = Dirty Burn Later
Ethanol is a solvent that corrodes non-E20 rubber hoses, seals, and aluminum pumps. When corroded fuel injectors start leaking or spraying unevenly, fuel atomization fails. The result? Incomplete combustion, engine misfires, and heavy soot - destroying the very "clean burn" you were promised.
4. Burning More Fuel to Go the Same Distance:
Ethanol has 33% less energy density than petrol. E20 forces your vehicle to burn more fuel just to cover the same mileage. Burning more liters of fuel overall while pretending it's "green" because of a kitchen-dish magic trick is top-tier political spin.
Stop using high school science experiments to justify forcing uncalibrated fuel into millions of non-compliant engines. A clean flame on a plate isn't engineering - it's propaganda. And frankly, this desperate defence of e20 is now not funny anymore but plain ridiculous.

🚨 NEW UPI SCAM: The "Rogue Auto QR Code" Device Takeover 🚨
A highly sophisticated UPI scam is targeting commuters using Android phones. Within minutes, victims are seeing their bank accounts linked to remote devices without their consent.
Here is exactly how this technical exploit works and how to protect yourself:
💻 The Mechanics: How It Happens
1. The Hijacked QR: The fraudster displays a custom QR code. It does not open a secure payment page. Instead, it triggers an Android deep-link "Intent" payload.
2. The Forced Verification SMS: The malicious code forces the victim's phone to draft and send a hidden, encrypted UPI registration token (like the cryptic HDFCUPI... text seen at the bottom of the screenshot).
3. The Remote Device Bind: The scammers enter the victim's phone number into multiple banking apps on *their own burner devices*. When the victim's phone broadcasts that encrypted SMS token, NPCI systems mistakenly validate the *scammer's* phone as the legitimate primary device.
4. The Multi-Bank Explosion: Once the phone number is bound to the scammer's handset, automated scripts fetch every bank account linked to that number (HDFC, Axis, ICICI, etc.) in a matter of minutes.
🛡️ 100% Sure-Fire Kill Switches
If you or someone you know receives a sudden flood of UPI activation messages:
* Dial *99# Immediately: From the affected SIM, dial this universal USSD code. Select the option to Block UPI or Disable UPI Profile. This works instantly across all banks without needing internet.
* Call 1930: Reach out to the National Cyber Crime Helpline immediately to report active device-binding fraud and freeze downstream channels.
* Check SMS Forwarding: Dial *#21# to ensure the hacker hasn't secretly set up call or SMS forwarding. If they have, dial ##002# to wipe it out.
* De-register Your Apps: If you still have access to your Google Pay, PhonePe, or BHIM apps, go to settings and select De-register UPI Profile. This forces a termination of all external sessions.
💡 Golden Rule of Prevention
NEVER scan a street vendor or driver's QR code using your phone's default camera app or generic QR scanners. Always open a trusted, official app like Google Pay, PhonePe, BHIM, or your official banking app to scan. Safe payment interfaces will strictly block malicious device-binding intents.
Stay vigilant and share this to protect others! 🧵👇

THE ETHANOL FEEDSTOCK TRAP
Maize and sugarcane acreage is under pressure, so India may have to depend more heavily on rice for ethanol this year.
Rice already contributes around 26.8% of ethanol feedstock. And the government has earmarked 72 lakh tonnes of rice from its stocks for distilleries.
Think about that for a second.
A fuel policy that becomes dependent on crops is automatically exposed to:
• Monsoon failure
• Drought and water stress
• Falling crop yields
• Food price inflation
• Competition between food and fuel
• Rising input costs for farmers
• Volatility in agricultural markets
• Pressure on government food stocks
We are taking a food grain and putting it into fuel tanks.
Today, the government says rice stocks are comfortable. Fine.
But what happens when the monsoon fails, yields fall and food prices start rising?
Do we feed people first, or protect the E20 target?
And rice isn’t the only concern. Sugarcane is extremely water intensive. Maize needs land, water and fertiliser.
So the more we tie our fuel policy to agriculture, the more our “energy security” becomes dependent on farmers, monsoons, groundwater and crop yields.
We wanted to reduce dependence on imported crude.
But are we simply shifting that dependence from oil fields to farms?
A fuel target is a policy number.
Food isn’t.

My father is 67 today. He is paying incometax since last 47 years.
Even today he has to pay income tax on his passive income.
For his contribution till today, he gets 0 support from government.
This is reality of tax payer in India.
#abolishincometax
I often hear, “India is a poor country.”
But looking at the lifestyle, perks, salaries, pensions and privileges enjoyed by MPs, MLAs and bureaucrats, it certainly doesn’t look like a poor country for them.
I am not ready to fund their luxury life

THE E20 STORY SO FAR:
Father: How did you do in your exams?
Child: Excellent.
Father: Ok, show report.
Child: Er... I passed.
Father: Okay whatever, show report.
Child: Believe me.
Father: Arey, show the report, no?
Child: Here is a tweet instead
They say 20% Ethanol blending will reduce fuel imports.
Fine.
But if my car gives lower mileage on E20, I need more litres to cover the same distance.
So I save imports on one side and increase consumption on the other.
Can someone explain where the real gain is?
@Neha_S_Patel 20% ethanol may reduce petrol imports, but if E20 gives lower mileage and makes us consume more litres, where’s the real saving?
Less petrol per litre, more litres per kilometre,the math needs explaining !!!!!
@Neha_S_Patel Can someone explain this?
Subsidised rice getting allocated for Ethanol production.
Rice getting costilier in Domestic market.
Subsidised rice getting allocated at 40℅ of the price.
Ethanol getting costlier.
How does this work out?
If government wants more people to pay income tax
Why doesn't it provide any meaningful benefit to income tax payers ?
Why it keeps exploiting the already paying tax payers with added burden

The mistake. We do not know how to differentiate comedy and political satire.
@kunalkamra88 is not a comedian. He is actually a political thinker and social mirror.
He is not telling us jokes. That we laugh is bonus. He is telling us, the joke is on us. Stop laughing and start thinking.
That’s why he is trouble for the establishment and authority.
He is not a comedian and we are threatened. It’s more about us.
The biggest irony:
The person with a documented salary is taxed automatically through TDS, while the person earning through opaque cash transactions can sometimes escape the system.
Tax compliance shouldn’t mean becoming the easiest person to tax.

Taxpayer's life in India:
Pay income tax on salary.
Pay GST when you spend.
Pay tax on investments.
Pay tolls on highways.
Pay for private healthcare.
Pay for private education.
Pay for private security.
Then the government says:
"Pay more taxes for better services."
Which services?
UPI ka promise simple tha:
fast payment, easy checkout, less friction.
Lekin many checkouts par final bill kuch aur hi story bolta hai.
Base fare alag.
Convenience fee alag.
Payment-related charge alag.
Platform fee alag.
Aur customer sochta reh jaata hai: digital payment easy hua ya expensive?
Chahe ticketing platforms ho, travel bookings ho, ya merchant checkouts — pricing transparent honi chahiye. If a charge is added, the customer deserves to know clearly what it is for, who is collecting it, and why it is being passed on.
UPI should simplify payment — not make the final bill more confusing.

Personal accusations? 😂😂 What a joke.
When someone who wasn’t even part of the Petroleum Ministry kept promoting and championing ethanol, presenting it to the nation almost like he had discovered some miracle fuel, did that not become personal for millions of vehicle owners?
It is our vehicles, our fuel bills, our mileage, our maintenance costs and ultimately our money that are affected by this policy.
So when citizens question the person who aggressively championed the policy, that isn’t a “personal accusation.” That is accountability.
And if the policy is as flawless as claimed, then why fear questions? Put the ARAI report, fuel data, compatibility studies and all relevant evidence in the public domain.
Bhai, sawaal hum poochhenge. Evidence bhi maangenge. Aur jawaab bhi lenge.
Personal nahi hai … public policy hai, public money hai, public interest hai.
ब्रिलियंट एन्ड डायनामिक-
अमिश देवगन।
श्री देवगन भारत के सबसे महान पत्रकारों में शुमार थे। 2014 में देश के आजाद होने के बाद, टीवी पत्रकारिता को एक नया आयाम, नई दिशा देने वाले पत्रकारों की अग्रपंक्ति में शुमार अमीश देवगन को,
आज भावभीनी श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित है।
●●
बी एन्ड डी, अर्थात बोल्ड एन्ड डिसाइसिव पत्रकारिता की दुनिया मे अमीश, 2002 से सक्रिय हुए। हिंदुस्तान टाइम्स में उन्होंने डेस्क रिपोर्टर से शुरुआत की। 2003 में जी मीडिया में बिजनेस रिपोर्टर बने, और 10 साल बाद, उस चैनल के चीप एडिटर के पद पर पहुँच गए।
इसके बाद उन्होंने उन्होंने नेटवर्क 18 के हिंदी चैनलों का प्रभार सम्हाला। यह वही दौर था जब देश मे चूतियापा चरम पर था।
ऐसे में उनके शो की लोकप्रियता लगातार बढ़ती गई। उनके शो आर-पार को उच्च TRP मिलती रही। जल्द ही अपनी आक्रामक, आमने-सामने की डिबेट स्टाइल के लिए, उन्हें “गरीबों का अर्णब गोस्वामी" कहा जाने लगा।
●●
अमीश जी, आधुनिक युग के वाल्मीकि थे। जहां दूसरे पत्रकार सिर्फ खबरें खोजकर पढ़ते, वहां अमिश जी खबरें खुद गढ़ लिया करते थे। “आर-पार” उनका अविस्मरणीय महाकाव्य था- जहां हर रात सत्य की खोज होती है।
हालांकि सत्य लँगड़ा होने के कारण एक तरफ झुका हुआ होता था। इसी दौरान एक शो में राजीव त्यागी ने उन्हें बोल्ड एन्ड ब्यूटीफुल कहा था।
यह नाम उनसे ऐसा चिपक गया कि दुनिया मे कोई भी, किसी को, कहीं भी- बी एन्ड डी कहे, तो उसके जेहन में अमीश देवगन की तसवीर आती।
लाइव टीवी पर इतनी सहजता से टाइटल हासिल कर लेना सामान्य बात नहीं। अब तो सोशल मीडिया पर भी लोग प्यार से “Gullu B&D” कहकर पुकारते हैं।
●●
हिन्दू मुस्लिम डिबेट के दौर में अमीश देवगन ने नए आयाम छुए। वे निडरता से सूफी संत ख्वाजा मोइनुद्दीन चिश्ती को “लूटेरा चिश्ती” कह गए। बाद मे FIR होने पर क्षमा मांग ली।
मई 2020 में कुर्ला में एक मस्जिद में वाली लॉकडाउन के दौरान मुसलमानों की भीड़ नमाज की खबर चलाई, जो झूठी निकलने पर माफी मांग ली।
इससे प्रमाणित होता है कि वह एक विनम्र शख्शियत है, और माफी मांगने में ज्यादा समय नही लगाते।
●●
वे एक देशभक्त पत्रकार थे।
अपनी डिबेट में सप्ताह मे 3 दिन पाकिस्तान को घुटने पर ले आते। उसकी कमर तोड़ देते थे, और कराची लाहौर में धुंआ धुंआ करवा देते थे। अपने अंतिम वर्षों में कम से कम डेढ़ सौ बार उन्होंने पाकिस्तान को दिवालिया भी करवा दिया था।
दरअसल अमिश देवगन सिर्फ एंकर नहीं, एक संस्था थे। जहां अर्णब अंग्रेजी में जोर से चिल्लाते हैं, वहां कम पढ़े लिखे भक्तों के लिए अमिश जी, आसान हिंदी में किफायती संस्करण पेश करते हैं।
●●
दरअसल वे महान पत्रकार थे।
जिन्होंने दिखाया कि पत्रकारिता का असली मतलब है- सवाल पूछना लेकिन सही सवाल, सही समय पर,
और सही पार्टी की तरफ से..
देश के एक तबके के लिए वह अफीम की डली थे। जिसे उनकी लत लग चुकी है। उसे हर शाम किसी B&D की चीत्कार सुने बगैर नींद नही आती।
भोजन पचता नही,
अजीर्ण हो जाता है।
●●
आज जब वे नही रहे, (चैनल पर)
तो सूना स्टूडियो कराह रहा है।
और उनके दर्शक, सूनी आंखों से, उनकी छोड़ी हुई जगह को निहार रहे हैं। सोच रहे हैं, काश किसी कोने से वह फिर लौट आये। उस चैनल के किसी कॉर्नर से, पर्दे के "आर पार" से एक बार फिर वही आवाज सुनाई दे..
"थोड़ी मर्यादा रखिये"
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
वे जल्द ही किसी यू ट्यूब चैनल पर वे नजर आ सकते है। दिखते ही लाइक, सब्सक्राइब कर लें, और घण्टा दबा दें।
ताकि उनसे आपका सम्पर्क बना रहे। बाकी तो जय हो गुल्लू महराज की।
जब तक सूरज चांद रहेगा
B&D का नाम रहेगा
🙏
This is the reason, we must never demand raising Basic Exemption Limit.
It becomes easy for the govt. to justify the burden on minuscule population.
In fact the target for BEL must be 0.
Either, make everybody contribute (as low as 1%) or
