Learnt about the incredible bravery of Captain Smit Machchhar. Immense courage in the face of a terrifying and unprecedented challenge. A true real-life hero. The entire world is proud of you. 🇮🇳 👏🏻
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.

I lost Rahul Gandhi ji when he said that Retail Investors lost 30 Lakh Crore of their Money 😂
Yes, we have a Long Consolidation. Yes, we need to Abolish Double Taxation. Govt should Reward Long Term Patient Capital.
But Misinformation should not be Given !!! Our Earnings are at All Time High. Indian Companies have done well actually. Their Balance Sheets have become Stronger.
Basic Understanding that 30 Lakh Crore of Market Cap Erosion doesn't mean Retail Lost that Much.
Who will tell him all this? 😭😭😭

A recent video of Vinod Kambli, perhaps from some care center.
He was a star inspiration for us in the early 90s. Some people even rated him better than the legendary Sachin Tendulkar at that time.
Seeing him today like this definitely makes me sad.
But this video, and most importantly, the rise and fall of Vinod Kambli ji, has many lessons for each one of us.
Praying for his happy and healthy life.
And reminding myself again: Being disciplined is your biggest talent.
Sir @CVAnandIPS your boys deserves this entertainment. They have done a great job.
Hope you are not going to take any action on this. This is Hyderabad and everyone is so excited with Ganesh nimmajanam.

Praful Hinge opens up about the people who played a major role in his cricket journey - from his coaches to his family, especially his father.

As Virat Kohli once put it, if you’re giving it back, you should also have the capability to take it back.
After watching this video, this looks like a massive communication failure on both sides.
The irony is hard to miss.
The same people who say, “We don’t know Hindi. Speak Kannada,” were trying to communicate with an Odia man in Hindi even after he clearly said he don’t know Hindi.
And that hand gesture? Maybe it's a familiar gesture in Karnataka, but Odia people can interpret it very differently and certainly won’t appreciate it. Cultural gestures aren't universal.
Similarly, the Odia man's “re” and his accented Hindi shouldn't automatically be interpreted as abuse. That's how people from different linguistic cultures speak.
The hotel owner was wrong if things became physical. Absolutely.
But once an apology was given, why keep escalating until it became a fight?
And before playing the victim card, remember the recent Bengaluru incident where an Odia restaurant owner reportedly faced objections over an Odia signboard.
When Kannada is demanded in Karnataka, it's language pride, and when Odia is displayed in Karnataka suddenly it's a problem?
Respect cannot be a oneway street. If you want Kannada respected in Karnataka, respect Odia in Odisha too.
And remember the rule, If you have the courage to give it back, have the capability to take it back too.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FLAT IN A HIGH-RISE & Gated Communities
Buying a home is easy. Choosing the right home requires experience, patience and a lot of homework.
Buying a flat in a high-rise has become a major decision for families across Hyderabad. With large gated communities, luxury towers, premium amenities and hundreds of apartments coming up across the city, today's homebuyer has more choices than ever before. But having more choices also makes the decision more complicated. In my experience in the Hyderabad real estate market, I have seen buyers sometimes get carried away by the project elevation, clubhouse, sample flat, launch offers or a spectacular view, while overlooking some of the most important factors that actually determine the quality of living in the long run.
A home is not just about how it looks on the day you buy it. It is about how it feels to live there every day.
LOCATION IS STILL THE FIRST DECISION
The first thing I would advise any buyer to look at is the location. You can change the interiors of your apartment, renovate the kitchen, upgrade the furniture and even redesign the balcony, but you cannot change the location of the property. Connectivity to your workplace, schools, hospitals, shopping, entertainment and major roads has a direct impact on your daily life. In a city like Hyderabad, where development is rapidly moving towards the western and southern corridors, buyers should also look beyond the current surroundings. Areas such as Kokapet, Neopolis, Financial District, Narsingi, Tellapur, Kollur and other emerging locations are changing quickly. What is around a project today may be very different five years from now.
Buy the location first and the apartment second.
DON'T LET THE BROCHURE MAKE THE DECISION
A modern high-rise brochure is designed to create an impression, and there is nothing wrong with that. But the buyer has to go beyond the brochure. Before committing a large amount of money, it is important to understand the project's RERA registration, land title, encumbrances, sanctioned plans, approvals and other relevant documentation. The promises made during a sales presentation should always be matched with the actual documents. For a property transaction of this size, independent legal verification is not an unnecessary expense. It is part of responsible home buying.
The brochure sells the dream. The documents tell you what you are actually buying.
EVERY FLAT IN THE SAME TOWER IS NOT THE SAME
One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is assuming that two apartments of the same size in the same tower will offer the same experience. They don't. The layout, entrance position, bedroom placement, balcony, window locations, kitchen design, utility area and the relationship with neighbouring apartments can make a significant difference. A well-planned 2,000 sq.ft apartment can feel much more spacious and comfortable than another apartment with the same area but an inefficient layout. Before booking, spend time with the floor plan. Understand where your furniture will go, where the sunlight will come from and how the family will actually use the space.
Square feet is a number. The layout decides how you experience those square feet.
WHICH FLOOR SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
The debate about the right floor will probably continue forever. Some buyers want the highest possible floor because of the view and privacy, while others prefer lower floors for convenience. In reality, there is no single floor that is right for every family. A family with elderly parents may value easy accessibility, while a younger family may give more importance to views and privacy. Lift availability, fire safety, noise, wind exposure and the surrounding towers should also be considered. I would not select a floor simply because the salesperson calls it a premium floor. Choose it because it works for your family.
The highest floor is not necessarily the best floor. The right floor is the one that suits your life.
SUNLIGHT, VENTILATION AND ORIENTATION
These are among the most important aspects of an apartment and are often underestimated at the time of booking. Hyderabad's climate makes sunlight and heat particularly relevant. Understand the direction of the apartment and see where the morning and afternoon sun will enter. A home with good natural light and cross ventilation can feel very different from a similarly sized apartment that depends heavily on artificial lighting and air-conditioning. If possible, visit the apartment at different times of the day. Stand in the living room, bedrooms and balcony and actually experience the space.
A floor plan can show you dimensions. Only a site visit can show you how the home breathes.
NEVER ASSUME THAT TODAY'S VIEW WILL REMAIN FOREVER
The view from a high-rise apartment can be a major attraction, particularly in locations such as Kokapet and Neopolis. But before paying a premium for an open view, understand what is happening around the property. Is the land opposite the apartment vacant? Is it part of another development? Is another tower planned? What are the future phases of the project? A beautiful open view today may disappear when another tower comes up tomorrow. Buyers should therefore understand not only the view from the apartment but also the development potential of the surrounding land.
Today's open land can become tomorrow's high-rise.
LOOK AT THE BUILDING, NOT JUST YOUR APARTMENT
When buying a high-rise, the apartment is only one part of the experience. The quality of the tower infrastructure will affect you every day. Look at the number of apartments on each floor, the number of lifts, service lifts, common corridors, parking arrangements and power backup. Imagine the building at 8:30 in the morning when hundreds of residents are leaving for work and school. How will the lifts perform? How easy will it be to reach the parking? What happens if one lift is under maintenance? These practical questions may not appear in a glossy sales presentation, but they become very important after possession.
SAFETY SHOULD NEVER BE AN AFTERTHOUGHT
In a high-rise, fire safety and emergency preparedness deserve serious attention. Buyers should understand the building's fire exits, emergency staircases, fire detection and firefighting systems, sprinklers, hydrants, alarms and other applicable safety provisions. Safety is not a luxury feature and should never be compromised for a better view, larger balcony or lower price.
Amenities make a project attractive. Safety makes it a home.
VISIT THE DEVELOPER'S COMPLETED PROJECTS
One of the best ways to understand a developer is to visit the projects they have already delivered. A new project will always look impressive because everything is fresh. But visit a building that has been occupied for three, five or even ten years. Look at the common areas, landscaping, lifts, external walls and overall maintenance. More importantly, speak to residents. Ask them about seepage, plumbing, maintenance, power backup, lift performance and how the developer responded after possession. These conversations can give a buyer valuable information that cannot be found in a brochure.
The real test of a developer begins after the keys are handed over.
AMENITIES ARE ATTRACTIVE, BUT MAINTENANCE IS REAL
Today's premium projects offer everything from swimming pools and gyms to sports facilities, clubhouses, landscaped gardens and children's play areas. These amenities certainly enhance community living, but buyers should also understand the cost of maintaining them. Ask about the monthly maintenance, corpus or sinking fund, clubhouse charges and other recurring expenses. A project may have fifty amenities, but if your family uses only five of them, you should understand what you are actually paying for.
Don't count only the amenities. Understand the cost of maintaining them.
PARKING AND PRIVACY MATTER MORE THAN YOU THINK
Parking is something many buyers discuss for five minutes during a property purchase and then deal with every single day after possession. Check the actual parking location, basement level, distance from the lift, turning radius and visitor parking. If you own a large vehicle, try parking it before you finalise the apartment. Similarly, look at privacy. Check how close the neighbouring tower is, where the opposite balconies are positioned and whether someone across the way can directly see into your living room or bedroom.
Luxury is not only marble, views and a clubhouse. Privacy and convenience are also luxury.
CALCULATE THE COMPLETE COST
A buyer should never compare properties only on the basis of the advertised price per square foot. The final cost can include parking, floor-rise charges, applicable taxes, registration, maintenance advance, corpus, infrastructure charges, interiors and home-loan related expenses. When comparing two projects, calculate the complete acquisition cost. Sometimes a property that appears cheaper on the first page of the price sheet may not be cheaper by the time you actually get the keys.
Compare the final cost, not the headline price.
DON'T BUY A HOME THAT STRETCHES YOUR LIFE
A larger apartment is naturally attractive, but the decision should also make financial sense. EMI is only one part of the cost of owning a home. There are interiors, maintenance, property taxes, school expenses and other family commitments. Banks can tell you how much you are eligible to borrow, but your family budget should determine how much you actually borrow. The purpose of buying a home is to create stability and comfort, not financial pressure.
The right home should improve your lifestyle, not compromise it.
VISIT THE PROPERTY MORE THAN ONCE
I strongly believe that one site visit is not enough before making a major property decision. Visit in the morning to understand sunlight. Visit in the afternoon to understand heat. Visit in the evening to understand traffic and noise. If possible, visit on a weekday as well as a weekend. Walk around the neighbourhood, observe the approach road, speak to people living nearby and spend some time inside the apartment without being rushed by the sales team.
The more time you spend understanding a property before buying it, the fewer surprises you are likely to face after possession.
One visit gives you an impression. Multiple visits give you information.
THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE, NOT JUST POSSESSION DAY
A property should be evaluated with a five- to ten-year perspective. The neighbourhood will change, new roads may come up, commercial developments may emerge and additional residential supply may enter the market. Your own family will also change. Children grow, parents may move in, work locations can change and financial priorities can evolve. Even if you are buying the apartment purely for your own use, it is sensible to understand its future rental and resale characteristics.
A good home should work for your family today while retaining relevance for your future.
MY SIMPLE ADVICE TO HOME BUYERS
Don't make the decision because somebody tells you that only two units are left. Don't buy a flat only because the sample apartment looks beautiful. Don't choose a floor simply because it carries a premium. Don't compare projects only on price per square foot.
Take your time. Read the documents. Visit the property. Speak to residents. Understand the layout. Check the orientation. Look at the surrounding development. Calculate the complete cost. Most importantly, imagine your family actually living there.
At the end of the day, you are not buying square feet. You are buying your family's everyday life.
WHERE PROPGo CAN HELP
Choosing the right property can be confusing, especially when there are hundreds of projects and thousands of apartments available across Hyderabad.

Don't ask only, “Which project is good?”
Ask, “Which property is right for me?”

ఇలా రూ.5 వేలు, రూ.10 వేలు, రూ.20 వేల వరకు జరిమానాలు విధించినా నీటి వృధా ఆగడంలేదు..!?
ఈ రోజు మనం వృథా చేసే ప్రతి నీటి చుక్క... రేపు మరొకరి తాగునీటి అవసరం కావచ్చు..!
జరిమానా విధించడం జలమండలి లక్ష్యం కాదు... నీటి వృథాను అరికట్టడమే లక్ష్యం.
నీరు ఉంటేనే నగరానికి భరోసా. మార్పు మన నుంచే మొదలవ్వాలి.
నీటిని వృథా చేయకండి.. బాధ్యతగా వినియోగించండి..!!
ఈ పరిస్థితుల్లో నీటిని పొదుపుగా వాడండి.. ఒక్క చుక్కనూ వృథా చేయొద్దు.. అంటూ జలమండలి పదేపదే అవగాహన కల్పిస్తున్నప్పటికీ కొందరు వినియోగదారుల వైఖరిలో మార్పు రాకపోవడంపై జలమండలి ఆందోళన వ్యక్తం చేసింది.
తాగునీటితో ఫ్లోర్లు, వాహనాలు కడగడం, అవసరం లేకున్నా నల్లాలను తెరిచి ఉంచడం, ఓవర్హెడ్ ట్యాంకులు నిండిపోయి నీరు పొంగిపోతున్నా పట్టించుకోకపోవడం వంటి చర్యల వల్ల విలువైన తాగునీరు వృథా అవుతోందని పేర్కొంది.
మొదట అవగాహన కల్పించాం.. హెచ్చరించాం.. అయినా మార్పు రాకపోవడంతో జరిమానాలు విధించాల్సిన పరిస్థితి ఏర్పడిందని జలమండలి తెలిపింది. గతంలో రూ.1,000 నుంచి ప్రారంభించి, ఉల్లంఘన తీవ్రతను బట్టి రూ.5 వేలు, రూ.10 వేలు, రూ.20 వేల వరకు జరిమానాలు విధించిన సందర్భాలు ఉన్నప్పటికీ కొందరిలో ఇంకా బాధ్యత కొరవడుతోందని పేర్కొంది.
జూబ్లీహిల్స్లో ఆకస్మిక తనిఖీలు:
తాగునీటి వృథాను అరికట్టే చర్యల్లో భాగంగా సోమవారం ఉదయం నీటి సరఫరా సమయంలో జూబ్లీహిల్స్ ప్రాంతంలో జలమండలి అధికారులు క్షేత్రస్థాయిలో ఆకస్మిక తనిఖీలు నిర్వహించారు. తాగునీటిని అనవసరంగా వృథా చేస్తున్న ఐదుగురు వినియోగదారులను గుర్తించి నిబంధనల ప్రకారం జరిమానాలు విధించారు.
ఈ రోజు మనం నిర్లక్ష్యంగా వృథా చేసే ప్రతి నీటి చుక్క.. రేపు మరొకరి తాగునీటి అవసరం కావచ్చు. జరిమానాలు విధించడం జలమండలి లక్ష్యం కాదు.. నీటి వృథాను అరికట్టడమే లక్ష్యం. పరిస్థితి తీవ్రతను గుర్తించి ప్రతి ఒక్కరూ బాధ్యతగా వ్యవహరించాలని జలమండలి స్పష్టం చేసింది.
ఇకపై తనిఖీలు ముమ్మరం.. రెండోసారి పట్టుబడితే కనెక్షన్ తొలగింపు:
తాగునీటి వృథాపై ఇకపై మరింత కఠినంగా వ్యవహరించనున్నట్లు జలమండలి హెచ్చరించింది. నగరవ్యాప్తంగా నీటి సరఫరా సమయాల్లో ఆకస్మిక తనిఖీలను మరింత ముమ్మరం చేయాలని అధికారులను ఆదేశించింది.
తాగునీటిని వృథా చేస్తూ మొదటిసారి పట్టుబడిన వారికి నిబంధనల ప్రకారం జరిమానా విధిస్తామని, అదే వినియోగదారుడు రెండోసారి నీటిని వృథా చేస్తూ పట్టుబడితే సంబంధిత నీటి కనెక్షన్ను తొలగించేందుకు చర్యలు తీసుకుంటామని స్పష్టం చేసింది.
ప్రజలకే కాదు.. జలమండలి వ్యవస్థలో నీటి వృథాకూ చెక్:
ప్రజలకు నీటిని పొదుపుగా వినియోగించాలని సూచిస్తున్న జలమండలి.. తన వ్యవస్థలో జరిగే నీటి వృథాను అరికట్టడంపైనా అంతే బాధ్యతగా వ్యవహరించాలని నిర్ణయించింది.
జలమండలి పరిధిలో సుమారు 15 వేల కిలోమీటర్లకు పైగా విస్తరించిన తాగునీటి పైప్లైన్ నెట్వర్క్ ఉండగా, పైప్లైన్ లీకేజీల కారణంగా విలువైన తాగునీరు వృథా కాకుండా ప్రత్యేక కార్యాచరణ చేపట్టనుంది.
ఎక్కడైనా పైప్లైన్ లీకేజీ గుర్తించిన వెంటనే స్పందించి, గరిష్ఠంగా 24 గంటల్లోగా లీకేజీని అరికట్టి మరమ్మతులు పూర్తి చేయాలని సంబంధిత అధికారులను ఆదేశించింది.
నీటిని వృథా చేయొద్దని ప్రజలకు చెబుతున్నప్పుడు.. జలమండలి కూడా తన వ్యవస్థలో ఒక్క చుక్క నీరు వృథా కాకుండా చూసుకోవాల్సిన బాధ్యత ఉంది. ప్రజల నీటి వృథాపై ఎంత కఠినంగా వ్యవహరిస్తామో.. పైప్లైన్ లీకేజీల విషయంలో అధికారుల నిర్లక్ష్యంపైనా అంతే కఠినంగా వ్యవహరిస్తాం. లీకేజీ తెలిసినా నిర్ణీత సమయంలో స్పందించకుండా ఉదాసీనంగా వ్యవహరిస్తే సంబంధిత అధికారులపై కఠిన చర్యలు తప్పవు.. అని హెచ్చరించింది.
