Absolutely horrified to see the plight of AQI at Delhi. Coming from Bangalore for even a day to Delhi can make you fall sick! Where is this headed to?? #DelhiAirQuality 🤢

[Rohan Verma @_rohanverma]

This polluted air situation is ridiculous! It’s time to stand up and hold those responsible to account and force them to perform and deliver. I will give a solution to it too, further down below in the post, and if the politicians are sincere they will adopt and act.

Let me be clear - I’m not a political person - but despite the risk of retaliation, I am going to call out some politicians and political parties - because they promised yet didn’t deliver on the matter of Clean Air, and that has meant death, pain and loss of future longevity for millions of people including my and your and everyone’s loved ones.

WHERE ARE THE MACHINES that were to help reduce stubble burning - seeders/rakes/balers? SHOW THEM NOW! Show them live at work & their locations, NOW!

The @AAPPunjab @CMbhagwantmann @AamAadmiParty @AAPDelhi @ArvindKejriwal @raghav_chadha @Jasmine441 came into power in Delhi & Punjab promising to fix air pollution.
You claimed farmers in Punjab would be given & forced to use crop harvesting machines so that farmers would NOT burn stubble in Punjab.

Tell us all - WHERE are those machines? And don’t just use words - show live & historical GPS movement of EACH of those machines on a Map - with video footage showing the crop harvesting machines removing the stubble. Show their gps+video movement to warehouses. The GPS tracking, video telematics, mapping and GIS technologies to bring transparency, visibility, reporting for ALL to see, EXIST. Hundreds of government organisation use this to show live and transparently the movement of Solid Waste Management / Garbage Trucks, the movement of Food & Civil Supplies Trucks, of Mining Vehicles, of Road Construction Vehicles - my own company MapmyIndia has been providing this to many for years.

If the Government wanted - Shri @BhagwantMann @ArvindKejriwal @raghav_chadha @Jasmine441 @AamAadmiParty @AAPPunjab @AAPDelhi - you all could have procured and deployed these systems and made available live and historical visibility on maps and videos and reports for all these to all Indians. You can still do it under emergency procurement and war-footing activities NOW.

I, and am sure crores of other people, in Delhi NCR and other regions in the Indo-Gangetic plains affected due to Punjab’s stubble burning would want to see this asap.

I do hope more people speak up, and keep up the pressure to perform on these leaders and authorities and officials are brought to account and they do what they said - so everyone can breathe!

It’s been so irritating to see politicians deflect responsibility, shift blame on others and when asked questions by the media come up with reasons and excuses that “this other person didn’t do that” - Arre Bhai, DID YOU DO WHAT YOU COULD DO? Are you doing what you can do?

Here’s a challenge - SHOW US ALL WHERE ALL MACHINES ARE - each ton of stubble safely removed improves air quality. Btw - the cost of buying the GPS and Mapping technology to give this transparency and visibility is small compared to the lakhs of crores of benefits if we clean the air. So don’t make this contingent of companies having to provide this tech to you free - take away budgets from advertising and deploy those on these.

Finally - to all citizens and media - we can do citizen reporting TOO to call out on the ground where these burnings are happening and not happening. Here’s a free solution for each of us - in the Mappls MapmyIndia app, there’s a Map Camera feature where you can click on the Camera icon on the map inside the Mappls App - and record geo-tagged photos and even videos - which show both the photo/video stamped with the map location & exact time/date - those in Punjab or who can go to Punjab - let’s go around everywhere and record these photos/videos and start sharing on social media. You can even post these on a public map through Mappls MapmyIndia so all can see all such photos/videos on the map where burning is happening/where the machines are etc.

A lot of Palestinians, overwhelmingly innocent, are going to die over the next few days. Their deaths will solely be the responsibility of Hamas. Israel takes great care minimising collateral. Hamas is the opposite. It’s whole game is to have as many Palestinians killed to perpetuate the death cult they call “martyrdom”. I hope Palestinians wake up and realise that Hamas uses them like disposable condoms. I worry that they’ll continue to somnambulate to their own detriment. Like Abba Ebban said “the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity”.

very hard to do something novel for the first time; orders of magnitude easier to copy something that is known to be possible.

conviction is either extremely difficult, or free.

@RMantri Can absolutely relate to this. Had the same feeling and actually quite sad how few can actually appreciate this movie.

[Rajeev Mantri @RMantri]

Oppenheimer is a cinematic masterpiece 🎥

Having said that, I am not sure how much the general population, clueless as it is about history, will actually appreciate it.

Among other things, somebody actually asked me: “Manhattan Project is about construction of Manhattan?” 🤦‍♂️

[Rajeev Mantri @RMantri]

One of the grave errors India committed in science and technology was to drive a near-complete separation of research from education and teaching.

It is a policy mistake that needs to be fixed. I hope the reforms coming up with the establishment of National Research Foundation will address this issue.

[Sam Altman @sama]

a huge amount of value comes from being able to see what’s coming over the next decade in many different areas of technology and put it together. you can find solutions others can’t.

going deep is good but don’t forget to look wide too!

TIL that Economics is more to do with the study of decision making than to do with money. I think everyone should be taught the basics of Economics to lead a better life
Thanks to the wonderful book @Freakonomics

Amazing, but not surprising! One titan recognizes another.

The Bollywood dynastic establishment that likes to think of itself as the be-all and end-all of Indian cinema will writhe in envy. Whatever they might say in public, privately they must be very frustrated.

[Robert Aldridge @RobertJALA]

I wonder why so many people are so negative on the future of technology. Negative on AI, Negative on VR and AR, negative on electric vehicles. It's exhausting. There's being realistic about technological limits and then there's just being pessimistic for no good reason.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

7/ Finally, is India on a path to producing such companies? On present trajectory, no.

Indian private sector is not investing sufficiently in R & D. We have not created the culture and mental habits of being R & D driven companies. We must build the culture first. Yes we can. 🙏
