“Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement.
To invent your own life’s meaning is not easy, but it’s still allowed.
And I think you’ll be happier for the trouble.”
- Bill Watterson.

Great work @Samdish@sundaysarthak. This country needs more like you!!
8 years ago, on 4th June 2018, we launched the Ather 450.
The night before, on 3 June 2018, we were sitting in the basement of our venue with paintbrushes and tiny cans of touch-up paint. We were fixing the final details, sticking on decals, and wiping everything down one last time before the big day.
Day 083, orbit 1282 — Did you know that a convex lens can bend light? When a light ray passes through it, the ray changes direction, allowing an image to form – sometimes inverted, sometimes magnified, depending on the distance.
In microgravity, this phenomenon can be recreated very simply… using water! It’s a highly visual way to show that everyday objects like a magnifying glass or binoculars rely on fundamental laws of physics, and that science is a constant source of wonder!

@RoshanKrRaii I kind of agree with you but I think that was majorly for upcoming elections. I might be not informed but after the Kolkata case, I don’t think anyone resigned there.
However, it’s refreshing to see people take accountability, be it elections.
Firecrackers are not a part of ancient Hindu culture. That does not mean they have not, over time, become a part of traditions around Diwali.
I grew up bursting firecrackers and enjoyed them thoroughly. I hope for a future where younger generations can also find some of that joy.
At the same time, my father grew up eating six modak a day during Ganpati. He now has diabetes because, unlike his grandfather, he is not compensating by toiling in the fields.
Traditions evolve. They change with time. Bursting firecrackers is not inherently terrible - but bursting sutli bombs and kilometre-long ladis (for Diwali or Eid, in case the keyboard warriors come at this post in the comment) is simply illogical.
The air we breathe is so toxic that children around us are growing up with stunted lungs. We have become so numb to air pollution that we normalise 150 AQI in Mumbai by pointing to 500 AQI in Delhi. And, what’s worse, we make even this a Hindu-Muslim issue to avoid any accountability.
This Diwali, I hope for better sense to prevail - not just during festivals, but throughout the year. For polluting industries to be moved away from outskirts of cities. For construction sites to follow pollution norms. For the government to finally realise that they have been elected to govern, not just pass the buck.
@SheetalPronamo Please stop using Ram’s name for this. Ram is maryada Purushottam and he (or anyone with a decent wisdom) wouldn’t be happy with this. Stop doing damage to yourself and your family like this.
