Indian athlets are creating wonders in China, but our pathetic media isn’t celebrating this success.
They are beating China in China.💪🏼💪🏼
Jyoti Gulia Wins Gold in 48KG boxing category.😍
Not Cricket. Not Badminton. Not Wrestling. This time, India's tricolour flew highest in gymnastics.
Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, young gymnast Harschit Damodharan has scripted history by winning gold in the Junior Men's Vault event at the Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships, becoming part of India's first-ever gold-silver finish in the competition alongside Akshat Bajaj.
Just a day earlier, he had also helped India secure a historic team bronze.
After topping the qualification rounds, Harschit rose to the occasion when it mattered most.
Behind this achievement are years of relentless training, discipline, and the guidance of coaches who believed in his potential.
From the practice hall to the continental podium, his journey is a reminder that champions are built one leap, one landing, and one determined day at a time.
Congratulations, Harschit!

Yesterday, we ended the run outside a villager’s home.
They came out to meet Sufiya, clicked a few photographs, and spent some time with us. Before leaving, we wrote “Day 39” on a metal rod near their house and asked them to keep it safe.
This morning, we found out they had placed stones around it and covered it with a plastic sheet so the rain wouldn’t wash it away and the writing would stay intact.
I don’t know why, but that touched me deeply.
We had already started today’s run before sunrise, so I didn’t get a chance to meet them again or thank them personally. I wish I could have.
It’s amazing how complete strangers can treat a small piece of your journey as if it were their own.
To that family, thank you. Your kindness turned a simple Day 39 marker into a memory we’ll carry for a very long time.

@JayPrashanth@TorqueIndia@Tataev I'll keep it short for the context of the original tweet - Curvv is absolutely, eyes closed reliable for 300-350 kms charging cycles.
Rest seems to be individual preferences. ( I am talking >50k experience in the North and Central India.
@thecyberneh Understand two things
1.EVs are much better in driving experience - comfort, power, ease of use.
( above alone could be a good case for people with means)
2. Depending of your usage, if Highway intensive ( >3000kms monthly) take something that gives 400+ range. If city alone..
@JayPrashanth@TorqueIndia@Tataev Hi Jay
I think you should specify your own use case, ( which is evident to be >5000kms per month, that's 60k+ kms yearly. You probably sit in 5+top 5 percentile of usage.. In general 350-400 is way more then sufficient. a family usage even 250+ km without a stop becomes viable.
Rs 171 won over Rs 311
To conduct exams they replaced TCS with a cheaper vendor. L1 strikes again. It's the country's mindset of treating everything as Mitti-Baalu.
For people outside Tamil Nadu, you don't understand the enormity of what happened in the state today. Nobody, not even MGR, at such a short period has got the kind of mandate which Vijay has got.
It is very easy to say Tamil Nadu vote for cinema Hereos. Since independence, only two cinema hereos, MGR and Vijay has got this kind of acceptance among people. Legends like Sivaji Ganesan and many others were not able to convert their popularity into votes.
Honestly I don't know why people have given such a huge mandate to Vijay. I never knew he had such a support among people.
It is a change which is not catching attention. Only two dravidian parties have been ruling Tamil Nadu for last 6 decades. For the first time, a non dravidian party has come to power.
Every Chief Minister so far had their roots in dravidian movement. Vijay comes with no political roots. Unlike his predecessors, he was not MLA, MP, Minister, Mayor or anything. He is directly becoming Chief Minister.
I understand West Bengal getting all the attention today. But what has happened in Tamil Nadu is unbelievable.
Atleast in West Bengal, people saw it coming. Almost no one saw it coming in Tamil Nadu.
Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition.
GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before.
Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country.
The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything.
The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot.
Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart.
GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution.
Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time.
For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day.
GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission.
Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru.
Take a bow!
Worth a read! 😍
My mom wanted to send me homemade pickles. But I said ‘no’.
I was 27, living in New York, working on Wall Street. I didn't need pickles shipped across the world. The shipping would cost more than buying them here.
Three years later, I read the psychologist take on what I'd actually done. When you reject someone's offer to help, you're not just declining assistance. You're declining their need to matter to you!
Benjamin Franklin figured this out in 1736. He had a rival in the Pennsylvania legislature who hated him. Instead of trying to win him over with favors, Franklin asked the rival to lend him a rare book.
The rival agreed. They became lifelong friends. It's called the Ben Franklin effect.When people do something for you, they convince themselves they must like you. Otherwise, why would they help?
My mom didn't want to send pickles because I needed them.
She wanted to send them because SHE needed to feel useful to me. To feel like despite the ocean between us, she still had a role in my life.
Every time I said "I'll manage," I was taking that away from her. Here's what I learned after a decade of living away from home:
→ Accepting small favors isn't about you needing help.
It's about letting people you love feel needed.
Your dad wants to transfer ₹5000 even though you earn well?
Let him.
Your friend wants to pick you up from the airport even though Uber exists?
Say yes.
Your partner wants to make you tea even though you can make it yourself?
Accept it.
The people who love you don't want to solve your big problems. They want to matter in your small moments.
Let them. #lifelesson
I ordered a assortment of dry fruits from @SHUBH_DRYFRUITS. On recommendation of @DealsDhamaka, pleasantly surprised with both quality and speed of delivery. Their dried Mango slices can't be missed.
when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it.
gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know."
he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done."
neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals.
together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity."
spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined.
the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
