Abhijeet Dipke:
"I was absolutely shocked by what I saw this morning.
The food items being used for the midday meal were expired—they had gone past their expiry date six or seven months ago.
I want to ask the ministers, MLAs, and officials—do they feed their own children expired food?
Even after all these years, if children in our country's government schools lack drinking water and usable restrooms and have to sit on the floor because there are no benches—then what exactly has been done?"
No rain fell in Rasuwa in Nepal this morning. The river still rose and swept away everything in its path. Here is why.
At 8.37 this morning, near the Nepal and China border, instruments picked up strong shaking. Early reports called it an earthquake of magnitude 4.4. The United States Geological Survey has now corrected that. There was no earthquake.
A huge block of ice and rock broke off a mountain and crashed into the valley. The impact was so heavy that it registered like an earthquake of magnitude 5.2. The landslide made the shaking. The shaking did not make the landslide.
That ice and rock fell straight into the Lhende Khola, a small stream that feeds the Bhote Koshi river. It blocked the stream fully and made a wall of ice, rock and mud across it.
The water behind that wall kept rising. Then the wall broke.
What came down was not water. It was mud, boulders and ice moving together. Video from the Rasuwagadhi border post shows the whole crossing vanish in under a minute. Timure and Syafrubesi were hit next. The surge then reached Bidur in Nuwakot and went on to Devghat, more than 100 kilometres downstream.
Police in Bagmati province have confirmed at least 95 dead in Nepal. China has confirmed 3 dead in Tibet with 265 missing there. The Nepal Tourism Board says nearly 400 travellers are missing, including 105 Indians and 37 people of Indian origin, many of them returning from the Kailash Mansarovar route. About 430 megawatts of power generation has been damaged. Bihar has put its districts along the Gandak on alert.
Now the part that matters for anyone living below a Himalayan river.
The same stream did the same thing 14 months ago. On the 8th of July 2025 the Bhote Koshi flooded with no rain. Nepal found that a glacial lake in Tibet had drained in a few hours. Scientists had already marked this basin as one of the most dangerous in the Himalaya for such floods.
These floods give no warning. No rain, no cloud, no alert, because the weather is not what causes them. Ice that stayed frozen for thousands of years is now loose enough to fall.
So remember this. If you are near a mountain river and the water suddenly drops for no reason, or you hear a low roar from upstream, do not stand and film it. That is a blockage forming or breaking. Move up the slope, away from the river, at once. Do not run along the bank. The water is faster than you.
Clear weather is no longer proof that a Himalayan river is safe.
6 saal ka Aditya, saamne 20 se zyada microphones aur phir bhi confidence bilkul nahi hila.
Bihar ke yuvaon ke haq ki baat karte hue jis himmat se ye bachcha police se sawaal pooch raha hai, woh waqai dekhne layak hai.
Chhoti si umar, lekin sawaal bade.
Aditya beta, tum bemisaal ho.

Dolly Parton casi chocó su automóvil la primera vez que escuchó a Whitney Houston cantar “I Will Always Love You”.
La canción había nacido casi 20 años antes, cuando Dolly decidió separarse profesionalmente de Porter Wagoner, el hombre que había impulsado su carrera.
Como él se negaba a dejarla marchar, ella escribió una despedida y se la cantó.
Porter terminó llorando.
Tiempo después, Elvis Presley quiso grabarla. Para Dolly era un sueño, hasta que su representante le exigió entregar la mitad de los derechos de autor. Aunque necesitaba el dinero, se negó.
Aquella decisión cambió su vida.
En 1992, Kevin Costner eligió la canción para “The Bodyguard” y Whitney Houston la convirtió en un fenómeno mundial. Dolly escuchó la versión por primera vez mientras conducía y tuvo que detenerse: estaba tan emocionada que temió sufrir un accidente.
“Tomó mi pequeña canción y la convirtió en algo enorme”, recordaría después.
La versión le generó cerca de 10 millones de dólares en regalías. Dolly invirtió parte de ese dinero en un complejo de oficinas situado en un barrio históricamente afroamericano de Nashville.
Lo llamó «la casa que Whitney construyó».
Dolly escribió la canción. Whitney la hizo volar. Y entre las dos crearon una despedida que el mundo nunca pudo olvidar.
Ahora las dos nos han dejado, pero juntas hicieron que una canción de despedida se volviera eterna.
@KirenRijiju Are you yourself convinced of what you are doing for the past month or so? I sense a serious discomfort in the way you have to defend your govt.
Dear @KirenRijiju no need to go to Arunanchal for this dive. Under the exemplary leadership and vision of your party, we have these rivers now on every road in Gurgaon and Delhi. Fresh clean rainwater. Come on over anytime. We developed these water parks so people can enjoy a swim outdoor here.
